Former Obama Department of Homeland Security Chief Jeh Johnson stopped by CNN's “New Day” on Thursday morning.


"“Illegal migration on our southern border has gone down since this president has been in office — basically because, through his rhetoric, he's scared off a lot of women and children in Central America, who'd rather stay in their desperate circumstances or just migrate to Mexico and stop there. But these are really desperate women and children. Women with babies in their arms who are trying to flee the poverty and violence in the countries they left.”

Isn't that the point?
