6:53 pm
drugs are not coming across our border brickwork sets and in tennessee. congressman lou correa seen your thoughts? >> is country as a nation of immigrants. we have always been a nation of immigrants. and yet we resent immigrants. i just wanted out the facts. the facts are that we need immigrants in this country. we need to continue to be the best nation in the world. 20% of our doctors today are foreign-born. our engineers, our technicians but if you like to be the best of the best in the world need to have a skilled workforce. a lot of those workers areos foreigners. let's stick to american laws, enforce u.s. laws and make sure we have predictability. i want america to be the greatest country in the world with the strongest economy in the world. my opinion immigrants are big part of that solution, thank you
6:54 pm
for a quick represents a 46th district of southern california. in california serving the u.s. house for three terms now. congressman appreciate having gone this morning. >> thank you. >> tom mcclintock is serve california in the u.s. house for seven terms now representing the fourth district, welcome to "washington journal" congressman brickwork's thank you bill. >> as you may have heard a lot of conversation this morning about immigration particularly the administration's move, the decision to lift this title 42 immigration policy, implemented by the trump administration last months of the trump administration. when is your thought on biden's demonstration to do that? >> those i've talked to her and told me said that's the last line of defense. think of it this way, more than 2 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended by the border patrol at our set them
6:55 pm
boris insisted took officer at roughly one by edward bid into our country, the other million were turned away because of title 42. when the administration removes it they expect to see as many as 18000 illegal aliens a day entering our country. now that is the entire population of wyoming every 32 days that is about 18000 is been 32 days we will be admitting another wyoming. and 32 days after that another wyoming. gallup warned last year based on their polling, about 42 million people have left it south america and the caribbean alone plan to come here. no civilization has ever survived this magnitude of mass illegal migration. there countries that cannot or will not defend their borders. and at some point he thing the democrats are going to have to explain to us, how are our schools made better?
6:56 pm
how are our hospitals made more accessible by flooding emergency rooms with illegal aliens looking for care? how are working families help by flooding labor markets cheap illegal labor? how are our communities may savor all but impossible to report criminal illegal aliens. how is her social safety net for americanser made stronger by adding millions of impoverished people into this country? it makes no sense at all but that's exactly the policy being implemented since the very day joe biden took office and the democrats took control of the white house for. >> let me get you to respond part of what the cdc said the reasoning for the lifting of title 42 and get your reaction. they said after considering current public health conditions and increased availability of tools to fight , such as highly
6:57 pm
effective vaccine and therapeutics the cdc director has determined in order suspend the right to introduce migrants into the united states is no longer necessary. that title 42 bread congressman mcclintock brickwork title 42 goes far more than covid. as a public health measure concerning all kinds of communicable diseases coming into this country. whatever its purpose for justification, under this administration is the last tool the border patrol has to defend our border. when it goes away we effectively have no borders that's precisely what the border patrol officers have told me time and again when i visited our southern border. quick center for american progress said this on the other side it was here thoughts of the stupid they said the decision to end title 42, the expulsion policy is the right one. there is no scientific reasoning behind the order it did not
6:58 pm
protect the united states or asylum-seekers from covid-19. has said they say put asylum-seekers lives at risk by sending them back to countries where they face persecution, torture, also restricting the right to seek legal protection in the united states. >> that is the argument for open borders. i think americans are starting to get a sense of what that means. oh we see this huge a magnitude of illegal migration, as i said 1 million illegal immigrants literally have been entered by thisis administration. that isth the size of montana bt in addition to that there bent over half a million god always better come into the country around the border patrol. they're completely overwhelmed by the influx. look, either were going to admit all the people the world tour contra we are going to secure borders.
6:59 pm
entries that cannot secure the borders simply are not around. we have to enforce our immigration laws are borders made nothing part of our borderi me nothing we are no longer a country or vast international territory between canada and mexico. >> are guesses congressman tom mcclintic the numbers to 8001. the republicans. (202)748-8000 for democrats independence and all of this (202)748-8002. is there anything to replace title 42? what is the administration's plan post may 23 the deadline by which they are supposed to lift that measure? >> as far as i know they have no plan. we know how to's secure the border would to that of the trump of the ministration the border always nearing completion on the first year of office biden canceled the border wall i've been down there. it's nearly nearly complete except for some construction gaps the material is that they are, on-site ready to be lifted into place. biden put a halt to that.
7:00 pm
and the remain and mexico policy by the trump administration was extremely effective at slowing the illegal immigration across the border to a trickle and we were enforcing court ordered deportations as the law required. those three measures are combined, secured our borders for the first time and many, many years. those are the things joe biden reversed. our deportations, through ice and now the lowest ever recorded. the administration has been ordered to resume the remaining mexico policy. but so far they've not done so. : : : n any word to do so. host: ukrainian refugees are now at the u.s., mexico border. it certainly before then there have been afghanistan refugees, prior to that patient refugees after the -- haitian refugees
7:01 pm
after the earthquake. >> any significant pressure to the regular stream of migrants that come from central south america and mexico. >> well that's a consequence of opening orders, large number of people are coming from cuba and romania and russia and really what worries me is that when we turn the conditional withdrawal into an unconditional frenzy, the air force base of whether the 5000 of the most dangerous terrorists on the planet filled in custody and the meetings and you number one of them went on the way to today's leaders, one of thosef terrorists detonated orthe bomb the kabul airport and killed our marines we don't know where the other terrorists are, more than a few of them are coming throughin the same open southern border. >> i guess my question for you in understanding is that an election year, is that that
7:02 pm
increased pressure seem to be a bipartisan push to come to some sort of immigration and border reform agreement in some sort of measure that would resolve the situation inul immigration poli. >> it for the republicans are pet so for the democrats approach is been to some measure out of the house that extended from the state between eight and 10 million illegal aliens already in the country and now that is a population size of alaska and montana and wyoming in north dakota, south dakota, vermont, delaware and rhode island combined. see series now i believe the house immigration subcommittee judiciary and find the six hearings were aimed at increasing the flow of migration into the country so there is a
7:03 pm
very sharp to bring the democrats and republicans and an impressive favor open borders republicans are doing everything that we can to secure the borders. >> back to the things that earlier about the borders allowing for claybrook hundred labor for cheap illegal labor to come to this country, do you think of this country has a labor shortage that can be hazarded part by immigration. >> this argument that there are some jobs that it records what do cover is t simply false, thee are jobs that markets want to without getting paid. no coincidence that when we securing our border hundred the trump administration, blue-collar wages so the fastest increase decade is in fact we the i largest increase in 40 yes when we secured our borders.
7:04 pm
very much a blue-collar room and the gaps between rich and poor was more narrow inn those years also differences in so two of these - nicholas getting dollars and go first as you josh illinois unimpressed line, go ahead. >> i've a few comments and a question at the end. you talking about cheap labor and people paying the wages, will along those. immigrants, california, pick the fruit, pick the fruit and food costs when skyrocketing and hotel rooms and attentive people wanting to clean the rooms, american people.n >> will that is an argument for
7:05 pm
bringing in foreign labor for all jobs you worried about us, the market sources very effective pretty in the employer's have to pay the market wage labor, people of the market with cheap illegal labor, the market wage will go dramatically for everybody. >> josh did you have a question go ahead. >> yes, i recall the republicans controlling ofre the house, the senate and the president under trump and trump came out with this big beautiful immigration plan and since you guys talk about it every time, is a democrats ande you say of the open borders, well would've that big beautiful plan go because
7:06 pm
you're not laying in the state. >> i'm sorry, butt: that is the fact of the matter is that we have the remaining mexico policy and enforcing of the court ordered deportations, and the completion to near completion date with allr until biden stopped the final construction of that wall and that had blocked our borders back under control and brought them backug under control and this is the policies of the biden administration reversed on his very first day but you're right is failed to pass out of the house reforms like us on the laws dented the fold this administration has exploded to make a borders all means. >> huskily andrew new jersey on the independent line go ahead. >> yes and good morning congressman, first of all i have
7:07 pm
a question about these immigrants come across the border, they screened for contagious diseases and now we have a tremendous problem in the united states that there saying every day, with corona and viruses and second of all, how many congressman and how many of these people come across the borders are ms 13 gang members because in the arkham they have tremendous problems with it in the administration turns his back on it and it's a tremendous cost of the market people to go out of the streets and are being slaughtered by the and they don't do about it in my question is, tremendous cost to the hospitals when they come in they have no healthcare, and use charity care which is pushing the cost of the hospitalizations. and as faral as the caller from illinois who said that use
7:08 pm
american jobs to pick fruit will first of all, there's a way to this country this going to suffer so i think that there's so much fake news going on out there, and were being misled and i like your comments. >> i like to add to what you already said, the gang situation it is becoming supremely careless no forget it because we don't control the border the mexican side they charge a minimum of $4000 for every migrant to cross the border from another country and some are $5000 actually making more money now with that trafficking than they are in the drug trafficking these are impoverished people and how do they enforce this high fees, there gang, their advance and again a come and forces to the cartel nest becoming increasing the serious problem and how many are ms 13,
7:09 pm
we gotta get half a million people more than a half-million this administration took office, as of the folks that observed going across the border but they couldn't every border patrol was completely overwhelmed of the dozen included but we did it also crossed how many of those are terrorists you know that we have stopped a number of military at the border as the ones we can encounter though as we have not encountered are the ones that i'm really worried about you so the notes critically important to add regarding healthcare system, itg would illegal air and lands go flood the emergency rooms, one is that doing to the accessibility for the healthcare or quality of healthcare for thisin country, but there are ty doing to our education system predict this is absolute insanity and no civilization has ever survived it without keeping
7:10 pm
its border secure to a question for you on twitter, what is the republican plan to hold employers accountable for hiring the undocumented it. >> we have been pushing that for years, the credit card handed to mandated for employers so that when they aremp hiring it, thouh have an instant access to that individuals right to be in the country in the first place andthat is us absolutely this is what for going to protect the market jobs and it is illegal to hire and they want to paying for. >> in general the democrats support or oppose it. >> they oppose in, theyr have posted that mandated was ever
7:11 pm
rank coming from michigan republican line. >> yes good morning. there's an invasion going on with russia and right now and joe biden said a bunch of troops over in germany to protect the borders in ukraine. as he realized he is president of the united states and we have borders and why would not there with so many people working in washington really i feel that you have 20 times more people then you really need it because the more people that you've got the more people are confusion thatfu you have in everybody's t their own opinions and everybody is god their own rights and they will never get along and they're not for us and federal government is screwed up so bad
7:12 pm
that all they want to do is get things for themselves as long as they benefit, they do not really give a - about. >> and we will confirm the congressman if you care to respond to. >> if well that is our job as americans, american have differences add in america, the people are solver but unlike sovereign in other countries people elect her help and that's what i am i am hired help and they watch the help over two years have whether to keep it or throwing out and replace me with somebody else, that's with the elections are all about any actions that have never been more important than they are right now is our country is seeing such grave - with him immigration with the democrats has done in our economy is shocking and inflation rates
7:13 pm
right now nearly 8 percent and the energy costs, and you look at the foreign policy debacle in afghanistan, and we've got to decide as a people with want to continue down thispe road and where there we even continue down this road and see our country survive it. >> and on the topic alleges from sacramento line republicans so mcclintock, will run in a new california congressional district it at a redistricting it does that present a greater challenge to you this year. >> will actually about half in the district that i represent now for ten years, so there eight times and seven of those eight counties, we pick up territory and fed up very long recession i'm very grateful for that rifle to be able to continue to represent these
7:14 pm

7:15 pm
immigration needs to be compassionate and treat these people will not even try to get the people that are here already with compassionate and humanity and the company people on the streets now we cannot eat, they do not have a roof over their heads and are bringing in more here, it is not even fathom the ball to understand it why they are allowing this to happen. it's only hurting our country, some helping our country. and that healthcare like you said, they can free healthcare, money that is my money that i am looking for all my life, my husband works 70 hours a week and because of the possibility she's a guy wrote getting treated for free next to him when i have a pay $800 a month for healthcare and where is the common sense as despicable whether doing to this country, justice mcmullen thank you. >> there's no comments is it to have ten again, we need to get things right and in a democracy, sometimes a blessing other times is a us but we do get the

7:18 pm
already think that we should - with the immigration and that is a term that is operative, and with respect to the guns across the border, my concern right now is we sing with this administration between deliberately admitted on the other ways the population size of the state of montana, wyoming admitted ino this country since his administration took office and that is - when they repeal title 42 were expecting up to 18000 population of wyoming every 32 days, that is shocking i cannot continue. >> called a republican line, bakersfield, california, stephen go-ahead. >> yes mr. mcclintock you, biden went over to europe this new
7:19 pm
world order so they can freaks me out when you think yeah, i don't know what he means by that and i'm not sure he knows what he means by that and what i said of this administration in this country, his open borders policy, economic policies that are absolutely decimating american workers in the current inflation rate is expected to take about $5000 from the purchasing power from an average family that he managed to put away $100,000 towards your retirement, the inflation rate being deducted southern taking a thousand dollars of the purchasing power to the inflation this is all been driven by mass bidding and the money to support that spinning a look at all of these things is water how can this be happening to our country and the answer to
7:20 pm
