NBC Reporter: Border Surge Will Continue Unless WH Starts Deportations

NBC News reporter Stephanie Gosk blamed a lack of deportations and immigration enforcement in part for the surge of unaccompanied minors over the southern border, and stated the influx will continue until the White House starts deporting illegal immigrants. 

In an appearance on Tuesday’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” she said that the State Department’s attempt to prevent individuals from crossing the southern border illegally would be ineffective without deportations, declaring “the state department talks about getting the message across, but it’s not just about a message and telling people down here not to come. people here have to start seeing people deported…until those people start getting deported, it is hard to convince people from this part of the world…not to make that dangerous trek.”
