ashley: i want to change subjects and get your thoughts on this, alejandra mayorkas holding a news conferenceector where he is expected to tout the decrease in migrant numbers since president biden announced his asylum related executive order a few weeks ago. what are your thoughts on that? >> i could teach a 3 credit college course on that, it is smoke and mirrors, loads of people going to the polls to vote in the president election, president biden has done nothing other than a wide-open portion and statistics show it. we've not had a month like this, under president biden we had 28 of those, 38 months in a row, and if you look back at obama they had 2 million illegal immigration encounters, president biden had 10 million, five times worse, he's done nothing for these 42 months, and he is trying to fool us into thinking he's taking it seriously. ashley: for years he hated the word crisis, mayorkas says the border is secure and they flipped 180, what are we doing to solve the crisis? >> it's not a crisis, it's a calamity. under donald trump in fiscal year 2017, 300,000 illegals for the whole
