Jul 24, 2025 | U.S.

While Trump has been successful in shutting down the border, Davidson said now is the time to put these reforms into law.

  • Sunset ineffective nation-building programs by capping justice capacity-building efforts at no more than 10% of the Bureau’s budget.
  • Codify Transnational Organized Crime and Narcotics Rewards Programs, requiring a minimum of 20% of the Bureau’s budget to be allocated toward rewarding successful interdictions, dismantling of cartels, and the capture of major criminals.
  • Prioritize efforts to counter criminal activities that enable terrorist organizations, including narcotics trafficking, weapons smuggling, and illicit financing.
  • Expand INL’s mandate to include combating illegal immigration and human smuggling by leveraging its expertise to support border security efforts.
  • Enhance coordination with key agencies—such as the Department of the Treasury, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and the intelligence community—to implement a whole-of-government strategy.
  • Strengthen oversight and accountability through the creation of a searchable database of Bureau programs, expenditures, and success metrics to promote transparency and responsible use of taxpayer funds.”

“Whatever you think about legal immigration, or, farm work programs or things like that, we could at least agree that the cartels are exploiting people. Let’s shut those people down. And they don’t just traffic people. They do traffic drugs and guns, and they launder money,” Davidson said.

He continued, “They’re engaged in all kinds of increasingly, the cartels are even involved in some of the scam centers, where they’re running big data centers to try to scam our seniors. So, you know, we want to shut these enterprises down. And I think Donald Trump has done the right thing in. Treat them as foreign adversaries.”
