of our country. >> they're trying to block the system. >> this looks like a celebration, there is no celebration yet. >> the flow of migrants into the u.s. is slower than expected. >> a 50% drop in the number of encounters versus earlier in the week. >> this week has seen more crossings than any week in our history. >> we're still on high alert. >> governor ron desantis was back in iowa trying to get his 2024 groove back. >> we must reject the culture of losing the time for excuses is over. >> for many republicans, they view the next election as important. >> can ron desantis bring it? >> white house officials say talks have continued. >> we need an outline in hand by the end of the week. >> i really think the desire on their part as well as ours is disagreement. >> it's time to bring spending levels back to pre-covid and then talk about raising the debt ceiling. >> tatum knocks done another!
4:02 am
incredible! the tornado continues. 51 for jayson tatum in game seven. >> i had to put on a special performance for my mother. >> scored 51 points for your mom on mother's day is a pretty good way to celebrate. what were my kids doing? i love that his mom was there. >> yeah. >> awesome. >> jayson tatum. good morning, everyone. we have a lot of headlines to get to this monday morning. new overnight, a bus load of migrants dropped off at the home of kamala harris. this isn't the first time you've seen this. it is still happening. again, texas governor greg abbott sending the bus to the unlawfulal observatory as the vp's residence is know after the immigration policy expired last thursday. many people were expecting a surge of migrants over the weekend. it did not happen though according to the biden administration. homeland security alejandro mayorkas says the border crossings were cut in half
4:03 am
compared to a week earlier. that is before title 42 had expired. he said it's too early to tell right now. >> i think things at the border -- >> much, much better than you all expected. >> texas republican congressman tony gonzalez says he disagrees with that assessment by the administration. >> what i've seen is they're beyond capacity and i shared videos and other things to highlight that bhachlt is happ -- that. people are on the ground and are very anxious. american citizens are getting roped up in this. >> let's go to el paso, texas. good morning. good to have you. we're a few days after.
4:04 am
>> politicians are going back and forth on what it meant. you're on the ground. you've been there. speaking to the migrants in the shelters. of what are you seeing? >> well, poppy, the president didn't just say a little while ago there but the fact is even he expected what he described as a chaotic situation for a while in his remarks about a week ago. the reality is that that is not the case. they did not reach the numbers expected in the days following the expiration of title 42. the that doesn't mean that processing facilities processing the individuals under title 8 are not dealing with capacity issues. all you have to do is look behind me outside of a shelter to see that some of the shelters are still dealing with capacity issues with many migrants sleeping under red cross blankets this morning, still waiting to see where the journey will take them next.
4:05 am
>> a remarkable change from last weekend, a far cry from the anticipated crush of migrants expected. >> the united states border patrol is experienced a 50% drop in the number of encounters versus what we were experiencing earlier in the week before title 42 ended at midnight on thursday. >> the reason he says, we have communicated very clearly a vitally important message. there is a lawful, safe, and orderly way to arrive in the united states. and then there is a consequence if one does not use those lawful path ways. >> with title 42 expired, federal authorities now leaning on title 8. a decade's old protocol for asylum seekers. there are more severe consequences for crossing illegally. a fife-year ban on re-entry and a possible criminal prosecution for subsequent attempts to enter
4:06 am
the united states according to homeland security. >> i think hopefully the immigrants are adhering to the advice. there is still concern. we don't know the numbers are. and the numbers are coming from if dps. but as of right now, we are within capacity and we're logistically doing well. >> republicans in washington pushing back on the administration's approach. >> they can't predict the peak cdp said 40% increase with title 42 gone. that is another nine mill dion people in two years. they left 5.04 5.04 million encounters as they have not secured or border. >> we're still on high alert. >> reporter: still, southern border communities are concerned about overcrowded and migrant processing and detention facilities. migrants like connie and her daughter released from detention. they're not sure if or when they
4:07 am
will have the resources to continue the journey. this migrants arriving in new york city, the mayor this weekend announcing the vacant roosevelt hotel is used to house hundreds of asylum seekers. many mayors around the country plead with washington to solve the immigration issue once and for all. >> there is no end game. in communities lick el paso and the southern border, we cannot continue to infinity. >> there's a figure that will continue to rise and that's a total number after sigh lum seekers that make their way into communities around the country. i've heard it time and time again here, caitlyn and poppy. the migrants don't plan to stay in the border communities. they say they're going to denver, colorado or certainly new york where we continue to see several hundred arriving daily. >> we heard from the mayor from el paso on friday. thank you for you and your team for that reporting down there. also this morning, rescue crews in st. louis are responding, they say, to 15
4:08 am
calls of stranded drivers who have been trapped in floodwaters. 500,000 people in the area were under flash flood warnings. can you see what that looks like. storms are moving throughout the region. they brought traffic to a stand still. they left roads closed, cars submerged. our secnn meteorologist joins u now. what is the sense of what this looks like to zmaday? >> fortunately, kaitlan, the vast majority of the flooding near st. louis has receded. this fiasco occurred late last evening. you can see how this off ramp from interstate 55 backed up traffic for miles. of course, you heard about the fire department's responding to multiple calls. so what in the world is at play here? and do we have more rain in the forecast? you can see this kind of direct moisture plume from the golf of mexico streaming into the central portions of the country including missouri. you can see the radar. the bulk of the precipitation north of st. louis. so currently we're dry.
4:09 am
during that period of about 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. that,s when four to six inches of rain fell in the suburbs of st. louis. that is enough to flood any major metropolitan, especially considering the bulk of that is concrete. so, not a very impervious surface. the water has to flow somewhere, right? the bulk of the precipitation will occur across the southern portions of missouri. that's where the weather prediction center has a slight risk of flash flooding today. can you see the thunderstorms firing up. thanks to a stalled out front. for st. louis, you do have light showers in the forecast today. the bulk of the heavy rauinfall is south of the city. >> yeah. fortunate for those drivers there. derrick, keep us updated. thank you. president biden says he's encouraged after staff level talks over weekend seemed to make progress on debt ceiling negotiations. listen. >> i remain optimistic. i really think there is a desire on their part as well as ours to
4:10 am
disagreement. i think we'll be able to do it. >> sources tell cnn the top congressional leaders involved in the talks will meet again at the white house tomorrow. economists have warned there really is a crisis at hand if we don't raise the debt ceiling. it will be short of nothing but a global financial catastrophe. pressure is building. remember janet yellen. they say the u.s. can default as early as june 1st. the former deputy director of the national economic council under president obama. he was an economic adviser under president biden during the last debt ceiling crisis in 2011. i hope i didn't screw up your credentials there. appreciate you being here. so, we heard what we just played from biden. we also heard the treasury secretary talking over the weekend ahead of the g-7 saying she remains optimistic. also saying that she's hopeful that they found some areas of agreement. dana bash asked the deputy treasury secretary to elaborate
4:11 am
on that yesterday morning. he didn't d. have more to say we the le levels of agreement are. >> congress should act as it has, always in the past, to raise or suspend the debt limit so the federal government can continue to pay the bills that are already due. failing to do that risks the u.s. economy, the global economy, and americans' livelihoods. we should be encouraged this are on going discussions. with that said, budget negotiations this year were inevitable. it's reported that policymakers are talking about the amount thez want to give to annually appropriated programs. programs like national defense, research, national weather service and many others. republicans have asked for cuts of 13% immediately building to 24%. president biden said he disagrees with that. i think for good reason. with that said, the administration said it is open to negotiations around the budget as it should be. >> around the budget. that is the difference here. open negotiation around the bunt for the biden administration,
4:12 am
around the debt ceiling for kevin mccarthy and the republicans. you're the former dpeeputy director under president biden. given that you were in the room for the discussions, where do you think the white house would give? >> i think the white house -- >> i think the white house has said what they're willing to do is negotiate items that were already going to be discussed this year. things like the annually appropriated budget. there are disagreements there. they have to reach a resolution. things like permitting for energy projects with the administration and republicans have both indicated that should be a priority. i think what the administration, i think rightly says, should not happen is one of the parties, the republican party in this case, trying to use the debt ceiling which is a dangerous tool to gain leverage and wins on the incentives to address global warming. threaten millions of americans health care. eliminating funding through the enforced taxes against the highest income americans. >> but this is where we are. >> i don't think that's where we
4:13 am
are. i think where we are is that administration said that they're willing to negotiate on the budget which was already going to happen this year. we're seeing it seems like public reporting that is a focus of on going negotiations. i think the administration said the debt ceiling just needs to get increased. they're not willing to allow the republicans to say that they have used this debt limit as leverage to try to gain policy wins. that is dangerous now. that is dangerous looking ahead. this is a dangerous tool that neither party should be using to gain leverage whether it comes to enact in their own policy priority. >> you have been a proponent of eliminating the debt ceiling. president biden has not. let me just play what he said back in october about this. here it is. >> do you support the permanent repeal of the debt ceiling, sir? >> permanent repeal of the debt ceiling? what do you mean? >> yes. >> you mean so we don't have a debt limit? >> no debt limit. >> no, that would be irresponsible.
4:14 am
>> he said it would be irresponsible. why you think it not would be? >> i think first right now what congress needs to do is raise the debt ceiling. that is the priority. full faith and credit of the federal government should not be in question. looking ahead, i do think this is a tool that needs to be eliminated or fundamentally reformed. >> you and the president disagree on this front. he said that is irresponsible. we can't have unlimited spending even though we do in this country. >> i think, first, looking ahead, there, of course, should be continued discussions around the budget including long term and how to reduce the deficit. but we're back here in 2011. >> we all remember it all too well. >> it is deja vu and in a bad way like back in 2011 a democratic president and a republicans had just taken control in congress. and, again, debt limit which is just about paying bills that are already due, was put under threat. we should not keep repeating this. and if looking ahead there is opportunity to fundamentally reform this so that we don't see
4:15 am
continued threats to the u.s. economy and also rewarding those who act least responsibly. we should do that. >> i thought it was interesting to end on this. beyond the economic consequence that's are beyond everyone. what mark milly said. the joint chief's chairman said about national security implications. let's listen. >> china, right now, describes us in their open speeches, et cetera, as a declining power. defaulting on the debt will only reinforce that thought and em bolden china and increase risk to the united states. >> sort of echoing what the director of national intelligence is warning about a week ago. >> so, i think chairman miley is right. the debt limit and a failure to raise it presents a national security threat. one of the element that's is key to america power around the world is the u.s. economy. and people's willingness to use u.s. dollars and also to rely on the full faith and credit of the united states. congress failing to raise the
4:16 am
debt limit will put that into question. it will put into question the basic function of our government, to just pay bills that were already due. and put into question us as a reliable partner around the world. it is a wound we can easily avoid by congress doing what it's done so many times in the past and raise the debt limit. >> david, appreciate it. given you've been in the room for so much of this, really appreciate having you. >> thanks for having me. former president trump canceled a rally in iowa and ron desantis seized on that opportunity. the governor flipped burger and crisscrossed the state over the weekend ahead of the expected announcement he is running for the republican nomination for president. he made a surprise trip to des moines as well. desantis stopped in a barbecue restaurant near the park where trump was supposed to have an outdoor rally on saturday night but ultimately canceled because of a tornado watch in the area. supporters started lining up. desantis' allies were trolling
4:17 am
the former president about this saying it was a beautiful iowa evening. steve was in iowa with governor desantis. steve, obviously this is something that desantis -- his campaign wanted to have to draw the contrast on saturday night. >> that's correct. desantis is maybking these trip. he's not directly attacking president trump. this is something we've seen for many republicans who are unsure just how hard they want to go after the former president. his base of support is still very strong and they don't want to upset those people. however, desantis is making contrast with former president. he is talking about how his administration doesn't have drama. doesn't have leaks, a clear dig at the president trump white house that was nooften in chaos. and he went into the belly of the beast, right into the heart of trump country. the county where he visited this
4:18 am
weekend, 82% of those people voted for trump in 2020. however, i talked to quite a few of them who said they are not only open to governor desantis but they are interested in moving on from trump. if this is a very evangelical part of the country. there were a lot of references whether or not trump enkaps lats the values. they were very interested to hear from governor desantis, hear whether or not he is someone they can get behind and potentially be their nominee in 2024. >> we also saw governor desantis, there is support behind daniel penny, the former marine who has now been charged with manslaughter in the death of the home is man on the new york city subway system. what was desantis saying? i believe he was even fund-raising on penny's behalf. is that right? >> that's right. he tweeted a lufink to a f fund-raiser and said we must defeat the d.a., stop the left pro criminal agenda and take
4:19 am
back the streets for law abiding citizens. we stand with good samaritans like daniel penny. let's show this marine and america's got his back. and this is something we have seen repeatedly from desantis during the moments of national controversies. he came out in strong support for the 17-year-old who fatally shot two people in wisconsin during those nights of civil unrest. he signed a proclamation declaring the woman, florida woman who finished second to leah thomas in the national championships sheshgs, of course, is the first transgender national champion. and he also when there were protests in canada by truckers, he came out in strong support of the truckers. so, he has repeatedly seized on these moments to -- and used them to elevate, you know, certain sides in the controversies with his platform. >> yeah. and important to note, that fund-raiser that he is tweeting about would go to daniel penny's legal fees that he is incurring.
4:20 am

the soul of nation is here where i see the future. >> he said the country is still in a battle over sinister forces trying to reverse racial progress that's been made in america. the president recalling his decision to run for office in 2017. >> i don't have to tell you that fearless progress towards justice often meets ferocious push back. and ott best days, enough of us have the guts and hearts to
4:25 am
stand up for the best in us. to choose love over hate. >> we single out as the most terrorists of our homeland is white see prem sifts. >> the president made the comment. a small white supremacist group staged a march in washington, d.c. joining us now, our intelligence analyst. he didn't say trump's name. but it was unmistakable who is referencing the way trump equivocated after that deadly riot that happened in charlottesville. >> i think when you have the president of the united states as a validator of theories that migrants coming from mexico are
4:26 am
drug dealers and rapists and he said in the campaign before he was elected when you see him sending a message to the proud boys and the nationally televised speech to stand by and, you know, be ready prior to the january 6th riots, you see these groups -- >> and saying you made y pardon them. >> just in the last week to you. that is the kind of thing that has caused groups to, you know, may have fell far on the outside to believe they have a mandate. and the mandate from the president of the united states and somebody that they would like to see back. so, the trump thing is a driving factor. but not the only factor. you see, a three way conglomeration of isolation, people would are left out. people are outcast. you saw the year and change of covid where some people spent all their waking moments on the computer.
4:27 am
and went down what a federal judge last week called the dark rabbit holes that they never emerges from. people are isolated and saying, no, you can be a part of this. just drink the kool-aid. so what the federal investigators called remvi is spiralling. you don't have to look any further than the last couple weeks. the texas mall attack, pick your active shooter. these things are embedded in all these. >> how much harder is it to fight this than foreign terrorism? >> the challenges are, a, it lives on the internet. the second piece is civil liberties. that is important. the u.s. intelligence agencies that would collect on al qaeda
4:28 am
or hezbollah or isis, you know, are legally barred from collecting intelligence on americans. that leaves all of this to intelligence assessment business homeland security and investigations by the fbi. the fbi investigation to where there is smoke in a discussion about potential violence, that's not wrapped up with criminal charges within 9 0 days. >> you know what this makes me think of? what we saw out of "the washington post." they were reporting this weekend about that accused -- so much classified information from the pentagon. and how he fixated on guns. but also about the idea there is being this violent social conflict. and in this report, it said that he actually was worried that his own racist and violent statements would jeopardize his chances of getting the security clearance he did get, that did grant him access. >> let's break that down.
4:29 am
you have djack teixeira who is outline what was going on in the background while wasn't leaking classified documents. you have the oath keepers and proud four proud boys convicted last week for being part of a group to overthrow the government at the capital. but a story that flew right. >> narrator: ra-- right under t radar is hatchet speed, this is a navy reservist officer who worked in places like the navy space warfare command, the ncis, national reconnaissance office, very sensitive places who was arrested for selling -- for possessing of silencers. told an fbi undercover officer that his inspirations were ted kaczynski, eric parker rudolph, the olympic park bomber. and here's a 41-year-old nona v -- man in a very sensitive job
4:30 am
and sentenced to four more years in prison for storming the capitol while on probation for the prior thing. that's where the judge said, you went down a dark rabbit hole and you never came out. >> yeah it is happening more and more. >> thank you very much. there was an unusual arrest in south carolina on mother's day, no less. because deputy saies say they pd over a car with a man and woim in a car pregnant. when they requested when the baby is due, they were giving conflicting answers, then the pregnant lady made a run. i should say, pregnant laudy in qu lady made a run for it. she had a fake pregnant belly and had cocaine in there. they arrested her on drug charges. >> t >> turkey is headed for runoff. we'll ask a turkish american player and ask for his take on all of this. >> and ukrainian president

4:36 am
neighbors. >> he's been meeting with leaders to bolster support for ukrainian travel over the weekend to meet in germany and france's president macron and italy's president and even the pope, pope francis. >> also on the international stage, turkey's presidential election appears to be head forg a runoff vote in just two weeks from now. the long time president erdogan who has been in power for 20 years is finding himself in a fight for his political life. 99% of votes counted so far, neither president erdogan or his ally has the key 50% needed to win. they have the second biggest mig in nato.
4:37 am
but erdogan has come under scrutiny despite the brutal invasion of ukraine. he is also continuing to block sweden from joining nato. sweden does join that alliance, that would amount to major blow to president putin. joining us now with his thoughts on the election that is happening in his home country, turkish american professional basketball player. and outspoken critic of president erdogan. thank you so much for joining us this morning. as we're watching what is playing out, you no hknow, this something that officials are keeping a close eye on yesterday. what does it say to you about e rechlt dogan's ruling and what voters think of it now that it is going to a runoff. >> thank you for having me. if you look at turkey right now, the number one country in the
4:38 am
world up and he controls the media. there is going to be a runup on the elections in may 28th, i believe. >> you've been critical of erdogan. what do you think an erdogan loss would mean for turkey? what does that look like? >> well, for erdogan, i want to explain this. he is turkey's a nato ally. i keep saying that all the time. and he is the horse for putting him in there. he acts more like russian ally. everyone is just saying, you know, enough is enough. people are suffering. the economy is going back.
4:39 am
turkey is playing a stra teethic role in europe and middle east. >> he claimed he would accept the election results regardless of the outcome. do you think he actually would if he does ultimately lose this election. >> i have so many conversations for people in congress, sfenate and people around the world saying, no, if he loses, he is going to start chaos. he has so much corruption scandals and if he loses, he knows that he's going to be in jail. he's going do whatever he can to win the elections. many people there are not going to be a fair or free election. i don't believe that he's going to let it go that easily. >> yeah. i should note, he also accused the biden administration of interfering in the election. they said they don't take sides in. this they would not be upset if erdoga were to lose.
4:40 am
but i want to ask you about elon musk. they were going to restrict some access before turkey's he lction took place. he defended it online. basically, obviously, as you know, much of turkey's media is under government control. what do you make of elon musk defending, limiting access to twitter ahead of this election? >> i don't want to hear about elon musk talking about free speech ever again. he literally running a dictatorship. the turkish government called him to pretty much tell them if you don't ban couple accounts that we're going to shut down the whole app in turkey. and he picked business and money over his morals and principles. i don't want to hear about him talking about free speech ever again. and that is actually plays a very important role. there are many journalists in -- around the world that is critical for the election.
4:41 am
it was -- he was wrong for that, for sure. >> yeah. a lot of people get their information from twitter. we'll be watching this runoff closely. thank you for your time this morning. >> of course. thank you for having me. >> fascinating, especially on twitter and elon musk and the broader context of all of this. the fda approving a new drug to treat hot flashes brought on by menopause. what is it? is it we'll tell you about it next. lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. delicious too. just ask my old friend, kevin. nothing like enjoying a cold one while watchi the game.

of course, these are the periods of flushing and sweating and chills that can happen to 80% of women going through this. it's a huge number of people. these are usually treated with hormone-based therapies. so this drug actually has a different mechanism of action. it works on sort of a center in the brain that regulates temperature. and it did show in trials that it works really well for this. this is for moderate to severe hot flashes caused by menopauses, it is called veozah. it has this different mechanism of actually not a hormone based therapy. >> a good question i think people have, what is the fda evaluating with the risks? >> it does have a warning about potential liver injury and so people who are going to take this medicine have to be assessed for liver injury before taking it. and then every three months get a blood test to make sure the liver enzymes are not elevated for the first nine months. that is something significant to look out for. >> insurance will cover it? >> that was a question --

congressman george santos is facing more than 13 federal charges and he now has a new opponent. former new york state senator ana kaplan is kicking off her campaign for new york congress and her pitch is this. >> my grandparents survived the holocaust. >> i'm jew-ish. >> so that was a lie? >> absolutely. >> george santos now facing federal criminal charges. >> do you have no shame? >> i'm innocent. >> george santos wants to restrict women's reproductive rights. he wore an assault rifle pin on the house floor hours after a mass shooting and he introduced a bill celebrating the ar-15.
4:54 am
instead of resigning, he's running for re-election. i'm ana klaplan and i'm running for congress because george santos is a disgrace. >> santos has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. he's called the indictment a witch hunt. he says he's committed to this run for re-election. we're joined now by the democratic candidate for new york third congressional district, currently represented by santos, ana kaplan. good morning and thank you. >> good morning, poppy. thank you so much for having me. thank you, kaitlan. >> i think for many people, certainly, a national audience, this is one of their first opportunities to get to know you and who you are. you fled iran, you were 13 years old. you came to this country for two years without your parents. you're also jewish and your family feared persecution for that. we heard george santos, we know that he claimed his grandparents fled the holocaust. so for you in particular, what is that like to hear as you run for this seat? >> well, i believe that everyone can agree that george santos is a disgrace and he should resign.
4:55 am
but he has said that he's not going to. and congress should expel him, but we have also seen kevin mccarthy refuse to do the right thing. i'm running because i want to make sure we give the voters a choice at the ballot. and to unseat george santos. george santos started his campaign with lies and has continued those lies. all along, during, being in the office. one of the most offensive lies have been about his jewish heritage and having family that have survived the holocaust. i fleed iran. my parents had to make a heart-wrenching decision to put me on a plane when i was 13 years old with 39 other kids, because they feared for my life.
4:56 am
and the residents of this district are outraged by his lies and it's time for us to defeat him and remove him from the office and flip the seat. >> what encouraged you to run? had you already decided before it was clear the plethora of lies that he told? or was it all of the deceit and the lies that encouraged you to launch this run? >> i think it's a combination of all that has happened. i ran for new york state senate four years ago. i flipped a red seat to blue. and i helped flip the chamber to a democratic control. and we were instrumental in passing legislations that really impacted 20 million new yorkers. i think we need more leadership like that in washington now.
4:57 am
>> one of your top if not your top campaign issue has d been access to abortion. you signed a bill to codify roe here in new york. i thought it was interesting to hear nikki haley, the only woman currently running for president in the republican party say this yesterday in response to the idea of a national ban on abortion, which some of her fellow republican contenders have proposed. here's what she said. >> for a national standard, i think we have to tell the american people the truth. in order to do a national standard, you would have to have a majority of the house, 60 senate votes and a president. we haven't had 60 pro-life senators in a hundred years. so the idea that a republican president could ban all abortions is not being honest with the american people anymore than a democrat president could ban these pro-life laws in the state. so let's be honest with the american people and say let's find national consensus. >> do you think there is such a
4:58 am
thing as national consensus right now in this environment on this issue? >> i can tell you, in my district, majority of the people want reproductive rights for woman. i can tell you that one of the days, happy days of my life was codifying roe in state of new york. where we're watching in washington, the republicans are doing everything in their power to restrict women's reproductive rights. we need to do everything to make sure that our voices are being heard. in a time that they're having six-week bans throughout the country in every different state, i think we need more representation and more women at the table. and i'm running for the seat, because there is -- this district has never been represented by a woman. and i would be honored to be
4:59 am
that person and i think based on my record, i've proven how i can effectuate change. and that's why i'm doing this early on. and i know that i could be that candidate to flip the seat, which is the pathway to flipping house and delivering the majority to hakeem jeffries. and for us to be able to really hear woman's issues and deal with what's important. the six-week ban is a law that really shows us my daughters' generation and the generations after that will have less rights than my mother did and my grandmother's generation had. >> that's that law that was signed in by governor ron desantis, the six-week law. we know you're going to have some competition, of course. a lot of people wanting to run
5:00 am
against george santos in this race. we'll continue to track it closely and thank you for joining us on set here this morning. >> thank you so much for the time. >> ana kaplan. thank you. and "cnn this morning" continues right now. >> the numbers we have experienced over the past two decades are markedly down over what they were prior to the end of title 42. we have communicated very clearly a vitally important message to the individuals who are thinking of arriving at our southern border. there is a lawful, safe, and orderly way to arrive in the united states that is through the pathways that president biden has expanded in an unprecedented way. and then there's a consequence if one does not use those lawful pathways. good morning, everyone. we are so glad you're with us on this busy monday morning. a lot of news to get to. the biden administration says illegal crossings of the southern border have plummeted 50% since the covid-era immigration policy title 4
