kids during the overnight hours without parental consent. it is championed by governor hochul and the first in the nation to regulate how content is delivered. the empire state not alone. it joins is growing list of blue and red states taking action in the absence of federal legislation. lawmakers in california proposed a measure similar to new york's. florida passed one of the most restrictive laws in the country. it is banning kids under 14 from having social media accounts regardless of a parent's approve all. that law will take effect in january. social media companies are busy lobbying hard and pushing back. net choice, a lobbying group representing meta , snap and others tells fox business that politicians are trying to take over the internet and this quote, this law is unconstitutional because it violates the first amendment by denying the editorial rights of webpages to display, organize

and promote content how they want. bill, the clock is ticking. this is the last week scheduled for the new york legislative session in the state. we'll see if lawmakers get it done. >> bill: we'll watch it. nice to see you, lydia hu. >> dana: fox news alert. in moments attorney general merrick garland will testify before the house judiciary committee. the nation's top law enforcement officers hitting back at republicans refuting their allegations the justice department is being weaponized against former president donald trump. we'll give you the updates as they come in. the buck finally stops at his desk after ignoring a crisis boiling for nearly four years. president biden is set to sign an executive order banning migrants who cross the southern border illegally from claiming asylum. the question is it a belated bow to reality or an election year stunt. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. the move takes a page out of the

predecessor playbook but avoids action on the migrants here already illegally estimated to be more than 5 million under joe biden's 3 1/2 year watch. it may be a direct result of the president's hands-off approach to the chaos. >> no, it's not. [inaudible] >> president biden: the only reason the border is not secure is donald trump and his maga republican friends. >> bill: happening right now, senate republicans going off on the border executive order. >> the simple answer he is not serious about securing the border. we had some discussion about whether or not new laws were required to be passed to have

negotiations on a potential border bill that was not successful. the simple fact of the matter is that the same laws were in effect back when president trump was in office are still in effect. but the difference is the unwillingness of this white house and this administration simply to enforce the law. and you know the numbers. the numbers of people coming across have just been unprecedented along with the drugs that have come across that have taken the lives of 108,000 americans including 71,000 due to fentanyl, the leading cause of death among 18 to 45-year-olds. and then there is the 400,000 unaccompanied children that have been placed with sponsors in the united states and simply lost by the biden administration. they can't tell you whether these children are going to school, getting the healthcare they need. whether they are trafficked or sex or forced into labor as "the new york times" investigative piece months ago disclosed. so they simply don't know and

frankly they just don't care. now we read, according to the "new york post," that all the asylum claims stacked up in immigration courts, the biden administration plans to simply dismiss approximately 350,000 of those cases. so they've opened the front door and when the room gets too crowded they open the back door. and it is a shell game. it is a shell game. they are not serious about it. this is a conversion based on the proximity of the next election and sinking poll numbers and we think it deserves to be called out for what it is. senator graham. >> friends in texas and along the border we definitely feel your pain. i talked to president trump this morning and he says this is a scam and people will see through it. i think he is dead right.

if you want the border secured and you are waiting on this group to do it, you'll die waiting. so the policy as i understand it is going to be an economic boom for the cartels. this is literally some of the best things that could happen for the business of illegal immigration because there will be a cap where you kind of shut it down every day. so if you are a cartel you will rack and stack them. you will find out exactly how many can get through a day and you say who would like to pay more to move up to the line? the biggest beneficiary of this policy will be human trafficking cartels who will charge more to get in the group that is going to go through and at the end of the day, you will have to wait longer and pay more but you are coming in. and if you want to stop the flow, here is what president trump said he will do on day one. they will keep coming until they see people leaving.

he told me this morning when he gets to be president not only is he going to secure the border, he is going to deport hundreds of thousands of people here illegally. if you want to shut down illegal immigration, those coming need to see an outflow of the tens and hundreds of thousands. that will deter. the only policy change that will work is to have mass deportations because people will stop coming when they see people leaving. >> i want you to listen up. here is the drill. president biden is in trouble polit politically. he is polling right up with

fungal infections. part of the reason for that is that he gave in to the loon wing of his party and he dissolved is southern border. now five months before an election, he has to appear to be willing to do something about it, hence this executive order. and he expects you to report this epiphany that he has had, take what the white house is telling you, balance it on your noses like trained seals, and report it uncritically. for three years we have watched president biden push on a door

that has been clearly marked full. he has mismanaged congress, covid, the national debt, the economy, inflation, crime, afghanistan, iran, the war in gaza, the war in ukraine, and now, of course, the border. and every time i think the president has hit rock bottom. he has managed to find a shovel and continued to dig. hence, this executive order. and i think that's what the american people see. the first question i would ask president biden is this. it is a little late, isn't it, mr. president? it's a little late. you can't make this cat walk

backwards. the president's border policies have allowed 8 million people to come into our country illegally. if you try to come into our country today illegally, you are a sucker. you are a sucker. all you have to do is present yourself at the southern border. now, for three years, president biden told us all there is no crisis at the southern border. for reasons clearly stated on the teleprompter. and his plan to deal with the crisis at the border was to pretend that there wasn't a crisis at the border. some of you reported that. some of you didn't. well, when the american people figured it out, because they may be poorer under president biden but they aren't stupid. the biden administration shifted strategy. it then said well, we know there is a crisis at the border but we don't have any authority to fix it.

that didn't work, either. because the american people aren't stupid. so now he has decided to tell you that he has been born -- >> bill: as this goes on now remember the context. today joe biden is expected to sign an executive order that would allegedly crack down on the asylum matters at the border. to our knowledge, it's the first time in 3 1/2 years he will take action. senator kennedy points out you are five months away from a national election. why this is going on on the senate side. move to the house side. merrick garland took his seat and jim jordan started his opening statement. >> steven said this in his deposition to our committee. four standard processes were not followed. washington field office ran that raid, not the miami field office. the operation was run out of headquarters, not from an

assigned u.s. attorney's office as is customary. the f.b.i. didn't seek consent before doing the raid and the f.b.i. refused to wait for president trump's attorneys to be present before the search was conducted. there is jay brat on the special counsel team. he met with white house officials weeks before smith indicts president trump. mr. woodward represents one of the defendants in the documents case. summoned by mr. bratt to department headquarters. at the meeting he informed woodward your guy flips, your client changes, it could help your chances for that judgeship you are interested in. unbelievable. of course, there is the fact that jack smith changed the sequence of the documents he seized in the raid of the

president's home. had to file this with the judge and court, the physical documents don't match the scanned documents. many people call this tampering with evidence. jack smith mishandled the very documents he charged president trump with mishandling. remember what special counsel hur found on page one of his report he said this, president biden knowingly kept classified information. president biden knowingly disclosed classified information. then on page 231 he told us why president biden did it. page 231 joe biden had strong motivations for ignoring the procedures for classified information because he was writing a book, a book for which he got paid $8 million. president trump gets charged for allegedly mishandling documents but jack smith can mishandle documents no problem. joe biden can mishandle documents, no problem. never forget this is the same

department of justice who made david weiss, the special counsel in the hunter biden case. after mr. weiss spent 4 1/2 years investigating president biden's son and had the sweetheart deal he took to the court laughed out of court, he gets named special counsel. this is the same department of justice whose civil rights division has done nothing to attacks on jewish students and same department of justice who can't tell us who planted the pipe bombs on january 6th, who leaked the dobbs draft opinion and who put cocaine in the white house. this is the same department of justice who told us in a memo from the attorney general himself that moms and dads of school board meetings should be investigated, same department of justice who said pro-life catholics are extremists, same department of justice who censored americans and the same department of justice retaliated against whistleblowers who came

to this committee and told us about these wrong dogs. mr. garland, we're glad you are here today. many americans believe there is a double standard in the justice system because there is. we'll have lots of questions about that problem. with that, i yield to the ranking member for his opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, i've been in congress since 1992. my colleagues and i have had our political disagreements in the past 30 years. ultimately in this committee we've worked together, more often than not across the aisle to get legislation to help the american people. legislation to protect women from domestic violence and sexual harassment. legislation to prevent discrimination against the lgbtq and fight racial discrimination and hate crimes and to protect americans' privacy. i'm proud of that record of success and proud of how much work of substance we have

accomplished in this hearing room under the leadership of the chairmen of both parties. >> dana: as congressman nadler is giving his opening statement and wait for merrick garland we just found out that the president of the united states biden will sign this executive order at 2:00 p.m. today. executive order on the border and i think we find bill melugin there at the border to give us more. hi, bill. >> good morning to you. while most people were sleeping last night we were out here witnessing an enormous mass illegal crossing. six hours ago, 1:30 in the morning as we watched hundreds upon hundreds of people from all around the planet cross illegally here into california, a major hot spot on the southern border. no resistance whatsoever. they walked past the mexican military on their side of the border and came through a gap in the wall and arrived in the united states single adult men

from all over the place. a lot from african and asian countries, a lot of guys from west africa, a special interest country because of potential terror and national security concerns. you will see in the video there was one single border patrol agent trying to corral hundreds of migrants. are we in america? where is border patrol? we had a chance to talk with some coming in. >> where are you guys from, what country? >> moritania, from africa. why did you guys come to the united states? >> what country? >> nepal. >> all of you from there? >> no english. >> what country, vietnam. >> moritania. >> moritania. >> india. >> this is america. see the red lights? that's border patrol.

san diego, see the lights? >> i shot this video as the migrants were waiting for border patrol. a bunch of them started snapping photos and selfies using the border wall as a tourist attraction almost it looked like or some sort of background for their social media photos. you can see behind us another group just crossed illegally columbians. i talked to them a few moments ago. they want to go to brooklyn, new york. torn up travel documents from indian nationals and you look to our right more people from all over the world waiting for border patrol to pick them up from asia. a couple of chinese. they brought luggage with them and waiting for border patrol to pick them up. bottom line as we wait for president biden for the announcement the migrants here don't fear consequences right now and they haven't for several years. no fear of removal or

deportation. will president biden change that today with whatever he is about to announce? we'll wait and see. >> bill: remarkable stuff. one of many, many times you brought reports like this to us. just a simple question. if everybody has an iphone that's charged what are they doing on the mexican side of the border? where are they staying and who is helping them? >> that's a question we've been wondering, too. we are able to see in some telegram channels the smugglers operate how they get them to the border. they drive them up in s.u.v.'s and conveys. this is in the middle of nowhere. we're in the middle of nowhere on the california side. a very oiled and organized machine the cartel smugglers are operating and in those telegram group chats some are talking about this announcement that biden is supposed to make today. wondering what it is going to be. so the president has an opportunity here. he can crack down, he can start

increasing deportations and start imposing consequences and maybe that will start changing some of the mindsets at the southern border where there is no fear of consequences now. >> bill: from 1:30 in the morning in the middle of the night to bring us that now. thank you, bill. >> dana: we're keeping an eye on merrick garland testifying on the hill how he is defending the authorization of deadly force in the f.b.i. raid on mar-a-lago. >> bill: you have breaking news on the hunter biden trial where a juror has been dismissed. how is that playing out in a town where the biden family and biden name is just about everywhere. n wife, homeowner, and the family bookkeeper, you're the first to know when high rate debt is stressing your budget. but your family's service has earned you a big advantage. the va home loan benefit. with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan, you can pay off high rate credit cards and car loans. that's real money you can use to take care of your family

>> bill: there is a lot moving right now. a lot popping. here is merrick garland with his

opening remarks before that house judiciary committee. >> successfully challenged a redistricting plan in texas. the district court recognized the plan violated section two of the voting rights act by depriving the county's black and latino voters of an equal opportunity to elect the candidate of their choice and participate in the process. we have continued to prosecute fraud and challenged illegally monopolies that drive up prices for consumers. this year we sued to break up live nation ticketmaster for its monopoly of the live concert industry. we sued apple for monopolizing smartphone markets. we have also continued to fulfill our responsibility that underlies all of our work to up hold the rule of law. that's why we have worked to combat a worrying spike of threats of violence against those who serve the public. those threats have included targeting of members of

congress, police officers, judges, jurors, election workers and the justice department's own employees. let me be clear, if anyone threatens public servants with violence we'll hold them accountable. and we will continue to protect our democratic institutions like this one and to bring to justice all those criminally responsible for the january 16th attack on our democracy. as attorney general, i will continue to forcefully defend the independence of the justice department from improper influence or interference of any kind. and i will continue to fiercely protect the integrity of our criminal investigations. nothing will deter me from fulfilling my obligation to uphold the rule of law. fulfilling that obligation

includes ensuring that the justice department respects congress's important role in our democracy. that's why we have gone to extraordinary lengths to insure that the committee gets responses to its legitimate requests for information. that is why i have provided the committee with special counsel hur's report, the special counsel testified for more than five hours and why we have gone beyond precedent to provide the committee with the transcripts of the special counsel's interview with the president. but we have made clear that we will not provide audio recordings from which the transcripts that you already have were created. releasing the audio would chill cooperation with the department in future investigations. and it could influence witness's answers if they thought the audio of their law enforcement interviews would be broadcast to congress and the public. in response certain members of this committee and the oversight committee are seeking contempt

as a means of obtaining for no legitimate purpose sensitive law enforcement information that could harm the integrity of future investigations. this effort is only the most recent in a long line of attacks on the justice department's work. it comes alongside threats to defund particular department investigations, most recently the special counsel's prosecution of the former president. it comes alongside false claims that a jury verdict in a state trial by a -- brought by a local district attorney was somehow controlled by the justice department. that conspiracy theory is an attack on the judicial process itself. it comes as individual career agents and prosecutors have been singled out just for doing their jobs. it comes as baseless and extremely dangerous falsehoods

are being spread about the f.b.i.'s law enforcement operations. and it comes at a time when we are seeing heinous threats of violence being directed at the justice department's career civil servants. these repeated attacks on the justice department are unprecedented and they are unfounded. these attacks have not and they will not influence our decision making. i view contempt as a serious matter. but i will not jeopardize the ability of our prosecutors and agents to do their jobs effectively in future investigations. i will not be intimidated and the justice department will not be intimidated. we will continue to do our jobs free from political influence and we will not back down from defending democracy. i look forward to your

questions. >> thank you, mr. attorney general. we'll proceed under the five minute rule with questions. ranking member is recognized. >> unanimous consent request? >> go ahead. >> mr. chair there is an allegation made yesterday suggesting the f.b.i. was somehow involved on january 6th. this is ludicrous and you know that because witnesses -- >> is there unanimous consent request? >> ask unanimous consent and add into the record a part of the transcript of the committee's interview with the former leader of the f.b.i.'s washington field office clearly refutes characterizations the f.b.i. was involved in inciting violence. ask unanimous consent to enter into the record from the boston field office where he explains conspiracies about the f.b.i. causing the capitol insurrection

are false and concerning. and finally i ask unanimous consent to enter an exert from director wray's testimony where he states i will say this notion that somehow the violence at the capitol and january 6th was part of some operation orchestrated by f.b.i. sources and agents is ludicrous and disservice to our brave, hard working dedicated. >> no objection. >> you told us it's a dangerous conspiracy theory to allege that the department of justice is communicating with these state and local prosecutions against trump. you can clear it all up for us right now. will the department of justice provide to the committee all documents, all correspondence between the department and james and -- >> they are independent offices of state. >> the question is whether or not you will provide all your

documents and correspondence. i don't need a history lesson. >> well, i will say again we do not control those officers. they make their own decisions. >> did you communicate with them? do you communicate with them and will you provide those communications? >> you make a request and we'll refer it to our office of legislative affairs and respond appropriately. >> you say there is conspiracy theory, when we say fine, give us the documents, give us the correspondence and then if it's a conspiracy theory it will be evident. when you say we'll take your request and then we'll sort of work it through the d.o.j.'s accommodation process, then you are actually advancing the very dangerous conspiracy theory you are concerned about. you were a judge once nominated to the highest court in our country. when you were a judge i'm curious, did you ever make political donations to partisan candidates? >> no. >> no? and you didn't because that would create the potential

appearance of impropriety. >> i didn't because there is a federal rule barring federal judges from making contributions. >> under that same theory of attacks on the judicial process. shouldn't someone be owed, like a jury of their peers and judge non-biased rather than getting a judge from your political opponent's donor file. >> you are asking me to comment on a jury verdict in another jurisdiction which has to be respected. i won't comment on it. that case is still ongoing. the defendant -- >> haven't asked you about the verdict. i was talking about the judge. so let me ask you this question about your time as a judge. was there ever a time when you were a judge when you had a family member who was personally profiting off of the notary tee of a case that was before your court? >> i will say again very clear you are asking me to comment on a case in another jurisdiction. >> did you ever have a family

member profit off of the notary tee of any case you sat on. >> you are asking me to comment on a case currently -- >> it seems you are con depthing the dots mr. attorney general. i'm asking as a general principle. you are aware that judge merchan's daughter was profiting off this prosecution and aware it creates the appearance of imbruglia -- impropriety. it is the attack on the judicial process we're concerned. >> i won't comment on an action >> you won't comment on it but you had no problem dispatching matthew colangelo. >> that is false, i did not dispatch matthew colangelo. that's false. >> he became the assistant attorney general at the beginning of the biden administration without having been senate confirmed, goes and gets the senior role at the d.o.j. and then after i believe it's he is replaced he makes the

remarkable downstream career journey from the u.s. department of justice in washington, d.c. and then pops up in alvin bragg's office to go get trump and you are saying it's a career choice made nothing to do with the law fare coordinated. >> i did not dispatch mr. colangelo anywhere. that is false. >> do you know how he ended up there? >> i assume he applied for a job there and got the job. i had nothing to do with it. >> you might not have had anything to do with it but we have this evidence and mr. pomerantz's book. he writes this book that i'm sure you are aware of where he says we put together the legal eagles to get trump. we got all these folks together and we assembled them for that purpose. when we on the judiciary committee think about attacks on the judicial process our concern is the facts and the law aren't being followed.

a target is acquired, here, trump, and then you assembly the legal talent from d.o.j., mr. pomerantz and you bring everybody in to get him. meanwhile the judge is making money on it. the judge is making and his family is making money on it for stuff you wouldn't do. no one is going to believe it and create great disruption and i'm saddened. i've given my life to the law and care deeply about the law and i think the law fare we've seen against president trump will do great damage far beyond our time in public service. i yield back. >> mr. chairman. mr. attorney general you want to respond to anything in mr. gates's tirade? >> everything he was talking about was a case in another jurisdiction, an independent prosecutor, mr. pomerantz worked for that independent prosecutor. i don't know what is in his book and i don't know mr. pomerantz. these are decisions made in

another office independent of the justice department. >> mr. attorney general last week as we all know a jury of his peers convicted puerto rico former president trump brought by the manhattan d.a. so it's a state case, not a federal case. i shouldn't have to ask you this, mr. attorney general. since the majority seems to be confused can you please explain the difference between a state and federal case? >> yes. the manhattan district attorney has jurisdiction over cases involving new york state law completely independent of the justice department, which has jurisdiction over cases involve federal law. we don't control the manhattan district attorney and he does not report to us. the manhattan district attorney makes its own decisions about cases that he wants to bring under his state law. >> thank you, my republican

colleagues seem to believe that the department of justice is secretly coordinating suck festful prosecution of president trump in new york. any truth to this allegation? what is your response to this allegation? >> the case in new york is brought by the manhattan district attorney independently on his own volition and own determination of what was -- what he believed was a violation of state law. >> mr. attorney general. >> bill: this will be a very interesting hearing and it will go for hours. janine pirro has been watching and listening with us. what do you make about matt gaetz's line of question and jerry nadler comes back? >> matt gaetz was excellent in making his point that judges don't take money and then or give their own money and then end up sitting on a case that involves one of the litigants to whom they gave money. and i think more importantly, though, i give matt gaetz credit for what he did. he stayed on point.

didn't let merrick garland get away saying i had nothing to do with this or wasn't my call. but when he got to the issue of federal versus state prosecutions, the -- merrick garland didn't do so well. he said even though colangelo went from assistant deputy attorney general down to an assistant d.a. in a local d.a.'s office he basically said he was only involved in a case that involved new york state crime. new york state penal law. that's not accurate. the high ranking justice department official ends up prosecuting in a lower manhattan trial involving a low d.a. involved federal law. the three options that that jury had involved federal election campaign act, it involved the federal tax act. as the law that would these

misdemeanor and make them felonies. he is not accurate in saying they had jurisdiction over new york law and why the case went there. without the federal law, that case would not have survived. >> dana: one of the things that will happen today is an attempt by maybe both republicans and democrats to try to take on this point that donald trump made after his conviction and throughout the trial, which he said this goes all the way up to president biden. this prosecution of me. and they will try to get him on that point. both republicans and democrats. how do you think he will answer? >> we already know based upon some of the stuff he said to matt gaetz. he wouldn't agree to send or to give them access to communications between the department of justice and the manhattan d.a., the new york state attorney general letitia james or fani willis in georgia. so already you have merrick garland pumping on that basically saying look, it is a conspiracy to say the justice department is corrupt and

somehow involved in these other prosecutions. we aren't going to give you information that might lead you to that particular conclusion. there is another issue here. merrick garland is facing a lot of issues here. the use of lethal force they say is common in all cases. the second thing is the d.o.j. that he is attesting to now involvement in the trump case. and the third thing has to do with refusing to hand over the testimony, the actual audio, of joe biden with robert hur investigation. what is the difference between a transcript and the audio? there are allegations the audio tape itself has a lot of -- doesn't answer the question, reminded to answer the question. when the attorney general of the united states comes out and says releasing the audio of the president would chill cooperation and would harm the integrity of future investigations when yesterday the claim was ai deepfake is the

problem here. that didn't fly. now they are using the generic we can't release the audio and you can't hold me in contempt with that. a lot of issues now. >> bill: opening statements have begun in the hunter biden trial. they got off to a late start. the prosecutors are laying out a case now. defense will argue is hunter biden wasn't an addict when he filled out the form because he just came out of rehab. prosecutors will show in court, apparently, they claim, that hunter biden was in contact with beau biden's ex-wife and said he was waiting for his drug dealer at the time when he acquired this gun. that's the opening salvo on behalf of the state. >> it appears there is overwhelming circumstantial evidence that adds to the direct evidence of the form itself as well as the illegal possession of that gun. and in addition to that, in his own words he says in his book beautiful things, in october in

delaware of 2018, all my energy revolved around smoking drugs and making arrangements to buy drugs to feed the beast. those are from his words. so in addition to the laptop, in addition to the testimony of kathryn buell, his wife at the time who said she would have to check the car to make sure there were no crack pipes when their kids went in the car. it is overwhelming. >> bill: hunter biden's attorney said today they are planning on calling joe biden's brother, james, as a witness in this federal case. >> to say what? >> bill: i'm not sure. crossing right now. >> dana: character witness? >> bill: could be. we'll find out together. this trial is getting underway. >> if he calls him as a character witness, hunter biden was in the military and failed a cocaine drug test. >> bill: he got kicked out. >> if they open the door all that stuff will start coming out. >> dana: you think back because they overreached a couple of years ago and tried to get him immune from all crimes in the

future, because they did that and the judge caught it, that's why they are there today. >> exactly right. if they had handled this case like any other case it would have been probation. now i think that there is a lot more at stake here. >> dana: all right. going to see you on "the five." thank you. we are keeping a close eye on attorney general merrick garland's testimony on capitol hill and awaiting biden's announcement on the border at 2:00 today. we'll speak with one border city mayor up next. car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans.

>> bill: we're watching and listening to merrick garland. we'll keep a close eye and bring you the hot headlines, i think, will come from really from both sides. republicans have already started to launch a few and democrats are supporting the witness in many respects. >> dana: one of those days on the hill. also this breaking news. president biden to make an announcement on the border at 2:00 eastern. house speaker mike johnson criticizing the president moments ago about the border. watch. >> now, oh now he wants to issue some weak executive order, one, by the way, one executive order supposedly to try to address the issue. it is window dressing. everybody knows it. if he was concerned about the

border he would have done this a long time ago. we don't know what's in this. the devil will be in details, i can assure you. from what we're hearing, it will ignore multiple elements that have to be addressed. >> dana: bell wells is the mayor of california near mexico. you weren't invited to go to the white house today. what do you expect from the president? do you think it will make a difference for what you are dealing with? >> i'm not terribly surprised i wasn't invited. i think he will try to do something a little too late, too little too late. he is going to play the political theater a few months before the election. i understand that. i think see bleeding elec electorally. as the mayor of a border town we're seeing 13 to 1500 people a day crossing over. you saw bill melugin's tape of all the people coming over early this morning. that happens every single day in california.

i think that the drug cartels are making billions of dollars off of this and so even if president biden stops the flow down to the 2500 a day that he is talking about, the cartels will still find ways to bring people over. i've been out at night. it is easy to sneak people over. this is the complicity that the biden administration has with the cartels. i don't see it being anything -- >> bill: let me just ask the question a simple way. he wants once you get 2500 a day asylum claims stop making the case the executive order would shut down the border. i find it hard to believe but that's what the order will address. i don't know if it survives a court challenge. trump tried to do this and was shot down. let's say you once to max at 2500 and everything shuts down, what would be the effect of that? >> well, supposedly if that were

really the case and nobody else was coming over and we sent border agents to patrol the border it would improve the situation. not so much for california. we're a sanctuary state. the cartels know this is the easiest way to bring people in. i would assume that most of those 2500 will come into my area. >> dana: how has that affected your area? what's different in your city now than 3 1/2 years ago? >> i think there is a lot of unrest of people not knowing who these people are or why they are here and what their intentions are or where they've gone. a veil of secrecy from the federal government that makes everybody uneasy. also, we already have the biggest homeless crisis in the nation. our shelters are full, our rooms are full, social services are completely overwrought and now we've got all these new people coming in every day wanting hotel rooms and free medical care and i just think it's a disaster for california in every way. >> bill: thank you for your time and thanks for coming back and

good luck. >> dana: great town, thank you. >> bill: we'll watch that. 2:00 eastern later today. right now america take a bit of a break. they'll go out for a vote. >> dana: i was going to say how did they get a break already? >> bill: he will come back in ten minutes time and we'll be back with a lot more right after this.
