However, Trump’s decision to tap Morgan came as a surprise. Morgan previously served as chief of the Border Patrol during the Obama administration, but was pushed out just days into Trump’s presidency. In recent months, he’s his hard-line immigration credentials by making inflammatory comments about undocumented immigrants on Fox News.: "I’ve been to detention facilities where I’ve walked up to these individuals that are so-called minors, 17 or under, and I’ve looked at them and I’ve looked at their eyes, Tucker — and I’ve said that is a soon-to-be MS-13 gang member. It’s unequivocal.”
During his hour-long session with reporters on Tuesday morning, Morgan blamed the Mexican government for failing to stem the flow of migrants from Central America.The criticism of Mexico follows Trump’s demand last week that the Mexican government step up immigration enforcement. The president vowed to place a 5 percent tariff on Mexican goods by Monday if the situation doesn’t change and then gradually escalate the duties to 25 percent by October.
Morgan said the Trump administration continues to seek a “safe third country” asylum deal with Mexico, despite resistance from the current administration of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Under such an agreement, migrants would be required to seek asylum in Mexico if they pass through that country en route to the United States.

Study Finds Not Acting Like Total Fucking Moron Most Attractive Quality In Potential MatePITTSBURGH—Saying that no characteristic was a better predictor of success in relationships, a new study released by Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Psychology on Thursday concluded that not acting like a total fucking moron is the most attractive quality one can find in a potential mate. “Our findings indicate that, far more than physical appearance, wealth, or education level, not being a total dipshit is the single most desirable trait for attracting a romantic partner,” read the study in part, adding that the data demonstrated a robust correlation between behaving like something other than an absolute dumbass and being viewed as a worthy companion. “Nearly all of our experiment’s participants reported stronger feelings of attachment toward persons who did not conduct themselves like they were too goddamn stupid to function even one day in society, ranking them significantly higher than those who seemed incapable of acting like anything but completely nonsensical fuckwits.” Although the study couldn’t definitively determine the reasons behind this phenomenon, it speculated that it might be the result of an evolutionary imperative driving people to not want offspring with shit-for-brains genes.
