liz: tough words from the president. the stakes are climbing with each passing minute. we are in the home stretch with the battle lines drawn. president trump addressing the care strand chaos and illegal immigration. his tough words igniting another firestorm. trump's border deal with congress is exactly what the democrats demand forward decades. the shameless hypocrisy of democrats who are tough on the border until they run for president. also we'll show you how nancy pelosi is sounding a lot like hillary clinton. nancy pelosi says democrats will be civil once they retake the house. to the scary and growing phenomenon at the border that should concern all americans. it's not just illegal people crossing, but drones crossing,

"the evening edit" starts right

now. [♪] the president speaking on the border a short time ago. deirdre bolton is in washington, d.c. with the details. dierdre: keeping the spotlight on his hard line immigration policies. he called the caravan from central america an invasion that poses a major security threat. president trump: anybody throwing stones, rocks, like they did to mexico where they badly hurt police and soldiers of mexico, we'll consider that a firearm. because this not much difference. dierdre: specifically the president called into question the motivation of the migrants. president trump: the government of mexico generously offered asylum, jobs, mid cas -- medican

and medical care but they have refused these offers which demonstrate they are not legitimate asylum seekers. dierdre: the president says there is a legal wrinkle. the immigration and nationality act of 1955 says any immigrant in the u.s. may apply for asylum regard letters of whether or not they entered through a legal port of entry, which is why the president made that reference to an executive order. he said asylum seekers caught crossing the border illegally will be held in tents instead of the previous administration releasing pending an asylum hearing. the president says it's a mag that for illegal immigration and

says asylum' applications must be made sat ports of entry only. voters go to the polls tuesday. this is an emotional issue for many people, especially in the southwest. liz: chuck grassley wants briefings from homeland security on threats from the caravan. he says several members of the caravan with criminal histories and membership in the ms-13 gang. further homeland security recently reported several hundred members of the second caravan clashed with mexican federal police throwing bottles, rocks and fireworks at mexican officers in a seemingly criminal altercation. we checked the rules of engagement considering rocks would be considered a rifle.

the regulations say a rifle would be excessive use of force. >> this one of the funniest after he kiewf sayings you hear that donald trump is talking about the border right before the election. it's and i important political issue to a lot of voters and of course he's going to talk about it in the run-up to the election. we have had some terrible things that happened the last few weeks. but changing the topic of conversation from those things is something politicians don't like to do. but it's an election. that's why we have an election. liz: is it race baiting or fear mongering when we secure the northern border? hillary clinton was not accused much fear mongering when she had these tough words four years ago about children of illegal immigrants. >> we've have to send you a

clear message, just because your child gets across the bored. it doesn't mean the child gets to stay. we don't want to send a message that con driery to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey. >> this should not shall a politicized issue. politicians have ignored this issue for so long. for 15-20 years, they refused to do anything about it. finally this guy, this impolitic guy who is not part of the establishment walks in because he listens carefully to voters, he won the white house on it. liz: we checked the facts. the hispanic caucus said quote merit-based immigration is a poison pill.

so it looks like democrats support tougher bored terse until they run for president. >> democrats like to point out, this is not an issue only white, conservative voters care about. and it's not just white, conservative voters. they probably been first the most of from a lot of illegal immigration. because they have get cheap labor it's legal hispanics and legal immigrants in this country who probably bear the brunt of the cost. liz: paul krugman said that in 2005. ted kennedy was tough on the bored. so was chuck schumer, elizabeth warren, bill clinton, harry reid. trish regan spoke to the president about the caravan. >> this caravan was organized by

leftist groups in honduras, financed in part by venezuela. this all according to the president of the honduras. but they were sent north for the sole and exclusive reason of challenging the laws of the united states of america by coming into our country illegally. the president made it clear we are not going to let them get away with it. >> he said venezuela rather than some of the big money donors. but the bottom line is we spent two years talking about russia meddling in our elections. why aren't we concerned about a caravan meddling in our election? lord knows, the people that are upset about this, they are not look for no immigration, they

are look for sensible immigration. liz: democrats are shouting this is fear mongering. even though trump is asking for the same exact things democrats asked for five years ago, end chain migration, stop the visa lottery. do merit-based immigration. the president offered amnesty to double the daca recipients obama was going to allow. >> they are not operating remotely in good faith. the reason is there was a time when democrats talked sensibly about immigration. but when they realized they could use it as a political issue. even though republicans were largely failed to do anything about the problem either, once they realize they can use that as a political cudgel, they changed their positions on things and they have been doing

it ever since. liz: do you lot of new studio? >> it's gorgeous. liz: you can see trish regan's full exclusive interview with vice president pence tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. that border surge of immigrants and i will he'll immigrants coming in right now is tying the all-time record set in the 1999. each illegal immigrant costs taxpayers $77,000 each. let's get to the political power panel. trump's 2020 campaign advisor, and former aide to chuck schumer, chris hahn. madison, the reason why they cost that much is they have not completed high school or have less than a high school

education. they are low income and typically use public services. tha. >> $70,000 is more than most of people in this country make in a year. illegal immigrants are a total cost to us of $70 billion. this is insane. we need to make sure we have common sense immigration policy. we have to make sure people who want to immigrate here do so legally. liz: chris, famous democrats said illegals cost taxpayers money, they include ted kennedy, bill clinton, barack obama, harry reid, joe biden. they all said it. >> everything costs money, including sending troops to the border where they are not

needed. liz: we don't do talking points here. stay on the point of welfare. we secure our northern border. is that racist and race baiting? >> we secure our northern border less than we secure our southern border. roads in vermont you can walk across the border without any crossing. the people coming in this caravan will present themselves for asylum. we don't need 12,000 troops at the border to do that. i agree we have to work and making sure people who come here come here legally and we have a process to deal with it. we are wasting money and a lot of things. this is not the worst of it. i don't know where she got the $70 billion number from. >> it's a fact. liz: we are dealing with a poor border policy. and we are spending a lot of

money on the back end when we could have the policies to fix it on the front end, right? >> absolutely. in the long term if we secure our borders we won't have to spend as much money. >> it's an alternative fact. >> it's what the article we are discussing tonight discussed. and to liz's point, two rights don't make a wrong here. just because we are spending money on one thing doesn't mean we should spend more on another. we need to spend less money. republicans and democrats have wasted a lot of our money. liz: i understand you want to question the facts. i don't think it's fair to demean and call it alternative facts. studies by non-partisans groups saying illegal immigrant tons

tens of billions of dollars and democrats used to talk about that. >> there is a market driving people to this country. they come to this country to do jobs americans normally won't do. we have to deal with it without the partisan rain core. the care -- partisan rancor. liz: it's not fear mongering. it's i ammatic of bored -- it's i am mat porous bored policies. let's sick to your money. it was a terrible month for the stock market. nearly $2 trillion in market value lost. the markets rallying for the

third day in a row. climbing 1%. this will be nasdaq's first 3-day winning streak since august. markets got an extra booth after president trump said he did have a productive talk with president xi jinping ahead of the g20. let's take a look at apple shares. a disappointing christmas season forecast. the market cap falling below the $1 trillion mark. it won't report any unit sales again. apple sold 49.6 million iphones. that's 20% more than last year but less than expected. the u.s. facing down iran. oil sanctions coming in. it might be the biggest, baddest

fight trump's team has faced. and basically they are not going to get much help from the europeans. the outcome in a small amount of races could mean the democrats seize back control. we break it down with ned ryun. he's here to explain next. you've had quite the career.

yeah, i've had some pretty prestigious jobs over the years. news producer, executive transport manager, and a beverage distribution supervisor. now i'm a director at a security software firm. wow, you've been at it a long time. thing is, i like working. what if my retirement plan is i don't want to retire? then let's not create a retirement plan. let's create a plan for what's next. i like that. get a plan that's right for you. td ameritrade. ♪

liz: the mid-terms just five days away. president trump holding rallies in florida, georgia, and ohio. joe biden in north dakota today and pennsylvania sunday. even oprah winfrey campaigning for democrats in two georgia cities. it is razor thin close. it's expected to be the highest mid-term voting turnout since 1966. real clear politics seize it this way as of right now. dems are getting 208 seats. republicans have 198 seats.

so that's as of right now. democrats need to win 15 of the 34 house tossup seats to take back control. let's bring in ned ryun it's a nail biter. your take. >> all this chatter of a blue tsunami. if we take the house back it might only be by a couple seats. we were talking about dems taking back senate. i think what's going to happen is we'll hold all the close seats in nevada and tennessee. so it's been aphrasing to see a dramatic shift. this is starting to feel like 2016. we were assured there was no way

donald trump could win. we were assured there was no way republicans could keep the house. if republicans hold 50% of the toss-up they will have 218 seats. liz: in obama's first mid-term fight he lost 62 seats. >> that's right. liz: it looks like president trump may lose less than half of that. remember when financial experts said the markets would tank with a trump victory. krugman said we would never recover from a global recession and that didn't happen. markets and investors like grird lock. -- gridlock. >> democrats are talking about

reimplementing the regulations and raising taxes. these two things have been huge for the economy. i put it this way. we have a ferrerive an economy. when you take off the police boots, it takes off. we have had multiple gdp much 4%. that's what he's making the point of. you want to see everything that's been don't last couple years be undone? liz: the state that democrats are focusing on is california. a big chunk of the seats they need to regain the house sits in that state. let's get to iran. the u.s. is getting ready to reimpose blistering sanctions on

iran. if the e.u. is going to continue, watch this. what's interesting, european businesses are fleeing iran. the e.u., ned, is trying to back door and go around the trump white house. it seems pretty dire there for the e.u. to even try that, right? >> i think at a certain point the e.u. will have to decide who they want to be friends with, the united states or iran. i would argue that it's in their best interests to be on our side and have good trade deals with us. donald trump is not bluffing. he's serious about not dealing with iran. i think the e.u. might want to give some serious thought to who they want to be friends with moving forward. they want to do a lot of business in iran. i think reality is setting in

and understanding that donald trump is not back down, not one bit. liz: great to see you, ned ryun. fox business will have special election coverage tuesday starting with lou dobbs at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. i'll be joining neil cavuto after 8:00 p.m. we'll have early coverage the morning after. "mornings with maria" at 5:00 a.m. and i'll be on with stuart varney on "varney and company." the caravan is on the move. now it's not just illegal crossing. drones are crossing, too. it's getting scary. >> democrats win the house, the caravan will keep coming and the borders will magicalliy go down

liz: welcome back. you are watching the fox business network. president trump saying the caravan of illegals heading north to the u.s.-mexico border will not be aloud into the country. william? reporter: a lot of confusion and disappointment this morning. it could be a win for president trump if this caravan slows down or breaks up. there were supposed to be buses to take them north, and on to mexico city later on.

forcing them to go east towards veracruz. they are 600 miles to mccowen, texas. but there were people who were confused. >> i can't understand who is running the show. >> you are going to mcallen, texas, instead of tijuana? >> i think we are going to tijuana, but i'm not sure. reporter: 4,000 members of the caravan made it to this town by hitchhike or walk or paying a bus $2.50 to go from town to town. they will pick up again tomorrow for their journey toward the border.

liz: southern california seeing an increase in the night sky in drone activity by the likes of the drug cartels. there is a concern terrorists could use drones to attack a large part of the population. the federal aviation authority now considering using unmanned drones along the border and also over large cities. the first 100 u.s. troops have arrived at mcallen, texas. rick? reporter: there will be more troops and more assets sent to mcallen, texas. there are thousands of troops that have already arrived.

and many more continue to move this way as part of the operation requested by the department of homeland security to support border protection and its agents along the southern border. caravan on its way here. and the equipment and soldiers being sent here from all of those bases across america include combat support battalions, medical companies, logistics teams and a lot of engineering assets. they will be setting up barriers and temporary housing for the troops. we heard from soldiers who sounded pretty pumped on part of this process. >> i'm honored the army has chosen us to come here and spearhead this operation. this is just another way to support my country and do what needs to be done.

reporter: a total of 4 caravans headed towards the united states. some with a few hundred migrants, others with thousands. authorities warn some of these migrants have already been involved in violent confrontations with police. that may be why the military has been called in. some of the soldiers will be carrying arms. but this is a support mission not a combat mission, and there are already boots on the ground in texas. liz: facebook ran a new war room against fake ads and fake news. it just lost its first battle already. we'll show you the proof of that. we'll take you live on the ground in missouri as president trump holds another rally. he's barnstorming fast across the country to keep republicans in power. we are back on it in 2.

liz: a new facebook face plant. facebook got a lot of applause a couple months ago for its new war room to battle propaganda, fake news and problematic political ads. but facebook has already lost its first battle. business insider reporting that they successfully ran two fake political ads on facebook. and they even listed it as paid for by cambridge analytica. that's the defunct political consultantsy that got facebook into a lot of trouble. vince, what do you make of this new problem?

>> facebook got brow beaten into submission because they get blamed for donald trump winning. one of the many reasons donald trump supposedly won is that facebook was unfairly manipulated in a way that allowed him to win. facebook became instead a forum for open communication now has a team of orwellian censors. and they are not great at their jobs. they allowed ads to get through by isis and mike pence. but they stopped the ones that said hillary clinton. liz: social media is meant to shape what we think and what we read. do you think facebook is just too big for its 2.2 billion

monthly users? >> they say they are sure they are going to be able to do it. but this shows they are not able to do it. mark zuckerberg at facebook has a long way to go. vice president mick pence, business insider ran the ads and he got through. they actually made to it facebook in front of the faces of people before they were taken down. what they are doing is not working. i'm sure they are pouring money into this and it simply doesn't work. how can an isis ad get through? >> the susan b. anthony list tried to run a couple of ads on facebook. they got stopped for trying to run pro-life ads. this is up sane. facebook has a lot of work to

do. liz: we'll let you know if facebook respond to our requests for comments. like this. for the past 15 years, chubb has identified ways that we can strengthen our safety measures. and today, our hospitals have some of the best patient safety records in the country. now, we're constructing new buildings that will define the future of piedmont and chubb is here, insuring our expansion. two million patients a year depend on us. and we depend on chubb.

liz: president trump happening shortly in missouri for a

barnstorming blitz across the country. claudia cowan is in columbia for reporting for us. reporter: you can see a big crowd has gathered in an airplane hangar. they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of donald trump. you can see the sea of red maga hats. the president will be here to support josh hawley in a race that some say could decide who controls the u.s. senate it's a dead heat showing the candidates tide at 43%. but this is a state trump won by 19% in 2016. mccaskill says she supports

trump's efforts to stop the migrant caravan and supports sanctuary laws. but she voted to block the confirmations of brett kavanaugh and neil cor -- gorsuch. with the president's approval rating at 52%. the republicans see an opportunity to expand their majority. the president is coming back to missouri monday night for one more final campaign rally before the polls open tuesday. liz: let's get top presidential historian doug wead. what are you hearing from the media about trump's successes

with the economy? has the media been changing their message? >> yes. they picked up on barack obama's language which is six months old. they are starting to say yes the economy is good, it's because of barack obama. at least they are no longer mocking the economy. as a student of history, i have to say it's a false narrative. unemployment, the third year in obama reached 10% and dropped to 3.9% in trump's second year. poverty rates' reached an all-time high up to 16% under barack obama. and you remember trump's economic advisors predicted his growth would be 2.9% within and

he hit 3.2% that second year. the numbers are way off. and the democrats are trying to spin that narrative. and they are getting help from the media. liz: it's making the democrat media backers crazy. what you are saying is that you can see that the media of course as we have seen in certain corners of the media, they are in the bag with democrats. in the beginning of the trump recovery they were dismission it. once they started to see it take hold, you are saying now they are saying barack obama deserved the credit. is that what you are seeing? >> they are embracing it. the democrats and the corporate media are joined at the hip. there noise question by the. but the historical friend is as you very well know, the party out of power is the party that wins the mid-term elections.

you can look at kavanaugh hearing and the caravan and the pittsburgh shootings. those are speed bumps on the inevitable road that should lead to a democrat win. but history has not yet encountered donald j. trump in a mid-term. we'll see. liz: i love how you get a kick out of the history, doug. but also a strong economy is good for the incumbent party, right? >> that's right. the great refraint, we learn from james carville, it's the economy, stupid. maybe trump wiped out isis, nobody those would. maybe he created these jobs obama kept swraig is he going to get them? he has done all of these things. but the prince of the air is the

national media. they control what the people hear and see, so they will have an impact. we'll see what happens tuesday. liz: we see it. the viewer is not buying it. they see the facts. they are not buying the media narrative. we love how you laugh over history. love having you on. democrat nancy pelosi already claiming that the democrats have won the house. it is a nail biter. look at this. nancy pelosi is saying they will turn down the crazive rhetoric upon when the democrats regain power. they will be civil only when they get back in power it sounds like what hillary clinton said recently. we'll have more after the break. stay there.

- [voiceover] this is an urgent message from the international fellowship of christians and jews. there is an emergency food crisis for elderly holocaust survivors in the former soviet union. - this is a fight against time. what we're dealing with is coming out, meeting someone who's 85, 90 years old, can't get around, has no food, has no water, and just wants to give up and die. and that's where we come in. we are called to comfort these people, to be a blessing to their lives.

>> i think when we win you will see evidence of that, because when we do win, we will have, as we open new congress, we'll honor vows of our founders, it is okay to disagree, but it also purpose to find solutions is unify and not divide, that is what makes a big difference between democrats -- liz: what she said was, when we win. you will see evidence of the democrat acting civil again.

and democrat tone down rhetoric after they take back the house, back with me now, democrat strategist christian hahn, it seems that pelosi sounded like hillary clinton, i only will be civil when they win. >> let's not take it for granted, i work with a lot of the middle of the road candidate, if they win tuesday it will be because of the bring of the candidates, we're not there yet. we need to get it tuesday. liz: you sound like a common sense person. >> we try. liz: welcome. vicinityvince, what do you thin? >> same error that hillary clinton made and republicans will use to their advantage, in other words, we will not be civil until we get power. the polls reflect it, coming off

kavanaugh hearing, opinion ticked up because there was concern about lack of civility on the left, that is more fodder going in where nancy pelosi is ruining her chances to be speaker of the house by throwing things out like that. even if she gets job, i don't think that democrats will become more civil, who think that would happen. liz: what do you think? we're tracking 20 investigation that democrat' to launch. if they take back the house, do you think they will be more civil 1 they regain control, if it happens? >> think that there is a lot of stones thrown on both sides. i think that the people that are work with, that i know out there are texting civilly. you know -- they are acting civilly, the one that the knocks civil right now is the president. we're trying to get to tuesday day, i don't agree that anyone ruined democrat chances of taking back the house, i think

it is likely. liz: democrat -- bernie sanders, said that he called trump quote most racist, sexist, homophobic, president in history. >> this is over the top, and words lost meaning when you make accusation that are that hyperbolic, voters ther hear thd say, okay enough already. it has gotten a boy who cries wolf quality to it. >> christian. >> i would agree with that. liz: remember we had bush derangderangement syndrome. >> goes all the way to the house races. i think we need to all be aware. liz: agreed, thank you so much. you have been terrific. we're staying on this hot race

to mid term, thank you for having us in your home, thank you for watching, lou dobbs is next, right here on the fox business network. lou: good evening our top story, president trump responding to crisis at the southern border. today vowing to do whatever it takes to stop the migrant caravan, ordered that broken immigration laws be fixed and trump administration encore ence all who want to come to america do to legally. >> this endemic abuse of the asylum system makes a mockery of our immigration system. displacing legitimate asylum seekers, there are
