"the evening edit" starts right now. >> crisis at the border present invited blame for the trump administration for the surge and naming vice president kamala harris to lead the u.s. efforts with mexico to stop the flow of migration this after when over the reporter asked if she was visiting the border on monday. >> i asked her because she's the most qualified person to do it to lead our efforts in mexico

and you don't have to wonder if that's where the president is, if she speak she speaksck for me she doesn't have to check with me she knows what she's doing. >> today white house officials along with lawmakers visiting the border the office of refugee resettlement same 1400 migrant kids heading to san diego convention center and the hhs is looking at three military bases in texas alone to housepo immigrant children and possibly or places in colorado. part of the problem smugglers, hillary vaughn is not a border town known as smugglers paradise. hillary found some interesting things. >> just on the sandy path right here leads to the rio grande river which separates united states and mexico and this ist the thought that we saw last night. hundreds of migrants arriving by vote crossing from mexico into the u.s. to get across the river, every migrant h has to py

off the cartel and when they do they get a wristband that looks like this, these are some that we picked up off the ground after the migrants arrived late lastst night. but this goes to show how the surge in the legal border crossing at the same time fueling big business for the cartel in mexico. smuggling humans across the border, migrants will pay anywhere from 3000 - $25000 in smuggling fees in the revenue for human smuggling alone from central american countries to the u.s. has brought theri cartl $2.3 billion in revenueca in 20. but the national border patrol council says there is a direct link between the cartel profit and how secure the u.s. border is at the time. >> on top of that you tie us up and in the meantime people in the field are putting us inside for babysitting duties it makes

it easier and more slowing. >> the flow of migrants crossing illegally is overwhelming. border patrol resources, i'm told they need more manpower but they are not getting it. one interesting thing that we learn from a deputy sheriff herey is that the wristbands, migrants get multiple passes with them and if a migrant is caught and returned back to mexico they keep the wristband on in the cartel gives them three tries to get back into the united states. edward: thank you hillary vaughn excellent reporting it turned into a big business area and seems very organized mexico's president blaming president biden forr the surge saying it s his fault expectations were creating that the but under government president biden would be a better treatment of immigrants and this is because central american migrants and also from our country wanting to crosshe the border thinking that it's easier to do so. joining mel acting dhs ken

cuccinelli, nowhere didel i hear president biden say specifically what he would do to address the border. is this an administration stuck the sand hoping the problem will go away? >> no question this is an ostrich strategy entirely but is also intentional. as much as they want to blame it on president trump, the president of mexico really ripped the close off of the amber. we can all see because is the ideologically much-maligned with biden we would not expect them to help trump out. he said very clearly where the fault lies with this. but it's not unintentional. they invited all the people to come across the border on purpose at the same time there putting amnesty bill through the congress, at the same time they want to pass a voting bill that will register many people regardless of whether the citizens were not on the rules

and punish state officials for checking. edward: you feel like this is a political end game in order to get some of the democratic initiatives through? >> long-term, not short-term. it is connected to some of i the other legislation going on. but this is a long-term play for votes that they believe. they are completely overwhelmed, this was predicted and predictable, we told them what would happen during the transition over and over and over. so they knew what was coming, this is not a surprise as shocking as it looks and for all of their mouthing of how committed to transparency they are, they're about as complete in terms of covering all of this up as they can be. they're not letting any of you will into the facilities, i rtnoticed a washington post rept letting one camera into an hhs

facility, not a dhs facility, not customs border protection which are really the facilities you want to see because how record-breaking the overwhelmed they are by these biden policies. edward: that was one of the newer facilities there letting folks into, newer one that was built. >> to try to make it look as good as they can. edward: there's a fairly easy fix because the 2018 and 2019 we did not see hundreds of thousands of people trying to cross illegally a month. >> no, we most certainly didn't, and one month may of 2019 and i wouldn't say it's simple to solve the problem but all the solutions were in place and they rip them all out quite intentionally. they literally ripped up in shredded a dozen international agreements we had with mexico and the central american countries that together those agreements working together and

are five countries working together put a major dent in illegal immigration. in 2020 there was no caravans. 0 came to the u.s. border. and now it's continuous because of the biden reception. they're showing up inviting t-shirts, the carrying biden flags. it's very obvious why this is happening in the administration undermines their own credibility onve every issue by staring straight into the camera and say there is not a crisis and we did not cause this and this is a normal surge, et cetera, et cetera. you reported very accurately on the really unfortunate downsides, this is all fueling the drug cartel the most evil vicious people in the western hemisphere that undermine entire governments are being funded by

the biden effect. if i can make one more point you talked about the people coming across the border directing and cbp gets occupied. it's not that they send other people elsewhere, it's with drugs. they get to expand their drug processing across-the-board as well. >> the focus is in one area in the doing something else over here. here is kamala harris approach on the border. this. to >> wahlberg clear that people should not come to the border now we also understand we will enforce the law. edward: enforced the law does not seemed like what trump was trained to do there? >> they define, listen tois her secretary of dhs, he defines enforcing immigration law as inhumane. they use that word inhumane to mean enforcing immigration law.

you tell me when you get a look inside these facilities with children sprawling all over each other and crying and all the rest, you tell me which approach is more heat inhumane, that's why they won't like to see inside those facilities. democrat henry cuellar talk to many of the migrants famously and asked them did you hear from the biden people that they wanted you to come. >> oh yes, that's what we heard. did any of you hear from them that they don't want you to come now? silence, no one. that is from a democrat. to hear kamala harris make those sorts of comments, were telling them not to come, that is phony baloney purely package for the american media market. edward: i really appreciate your time, this is a story we will be following. coming up north dakota senator kevin cramer, we will ask him if we can afford another

this week. i did ask the white house press secretary jen psaki what we could potentially expect to hear from the president and she said the president's plan will include a lot of the items you talk about on the campaign trail. >> is bill back better agenda includes a number of components that he talked about on the campaign trail, infrastructure is part of it making the tax code fair and one that rewards work and not wealth is part of it doing better by our caregivers is part of that, increasing access to healthcare is part of it. edward: the white house has not said if they mentioned and more a 3 trillion other price tag. here was a press secretary when i asked her if 3 trillion should be viewed as a cat. >> is having a conversation about the scale on i the scope f what proposals look like there's lots of ways to frame it, shape, size it so i don't have any more

to predict for you. >> will hear from president biden a week from today but it's also possible that we could potentially hear some pieces of it and parts of it tomorrow afternoon as the president will host its first press conference at the white house. >> great reporting not all infrastructure. blake burman at the white housen let's bring in north dakota senator kevin cramer he's on the senate banking and budget committee, democrats can use the reconciliation process once first fiscal year they did it once for the american rescue package, is the next one going to be an infrastructure package? >> i'm not sure what is going to be but they seem to be throwing a lot of things that it to try to make it fit into the rules of budget reconciliation. so it very well could be. i get concerned when you're

talking about transforming the tax code and the infrastructure bill and climate change all in the same package but awful lot of that stuff belongs in its own lane not just one big clump. mitch mcconnell referred to it as a trojan horse and i think hd has reason to be concerned. edward: i wanted to listen to something this is janet yellen yesterday from her testimony talking t about the potential three trig and other package she chose her c words carefully. >> we intend to put forward a proposal to invest in sustainable infrastructure and create new green jobs in the process. >> secretary yelling calling it sustainable infrastructure creating green jobs will the bridges being built and roads fixed or we look at more stuff is it climate change? >> is something there's more stuff no question one of the most bipartisan issue inns congress is transportation if a structure includes highways and bridges and waterways in support

and broadband, real, transmission lines, pipelines and the nice thing about a lot of that it does not have to be funded by the federal taxpayer, in fact if we get better regulation, less regulation, more consistent regulation a lot would be built by the private sector and it would have it as a primary purpose the creation of jobs in the growth of our economy and at thenk same time highway transportation infrastructure bill is in the making i don't think it'll get a lot of bipartisan support. when you take about $210 billion in the highway trust fund you talk about 1 trillion-dollar highway bill you better find some revenue someplace i don't have to enter and raise taxes first of all broaden the tax code particular as it relates to the highway trust fund is depending solely on the gas

taxes and electric vehicles don't use the gas and they don't pay for the roads or hybrids or even more efficient vehicles so you see more miles on the roads but less money for that. there are other ways like opening up our federal resources for mining of coal, oil, gas, minerals that are in high demand that's good for the american economy and national security but what we should be doing is looking at raising taxes on job creators while were trying to grown economy that needs a boost. edward: senator joe manchinna sd the corporate tax rate should go to 25% and adjustments to the 2017 tax cuts made by the tripper administration. what kind of tax could you anticipate that will be under. >> of senator manchin is talking about 25% he's talking about a tax increase on the job creators. the main reason that we had incredible growth inec our econy and you had up until the

pandemic we lower the corporate tax rate until 21%. and we made easier to re-pretreat funds from w americn companies that were earning profits overseas. that grew our economy and makes no sense now atac a time when te economy is coming back and foundation is built pretty strongly to now raise taxes on the very same people. it creates an incentive forir people to move companies out of the companies rather than bring more of the men. that's when it concerns me right away estate taxes, capitalal gas tax, all of these things are job creators and frankly the middle class even the income tax on people making as little as $200,000, $200,000 is more than i make or a lot of people make but it's not exactly the wealthy. so we've got the makings of a growing economy what we need to do is open the economy and let

the entrepreneurs and businesses in this country work and if we need anything more like highway building, we should no longer neglect transportation infrastructure and broaden the tax code in the taxes and let's build highways and bridges. >> do you have a number in mind how big the infrastructure package should be. >> is a great question i don't know necessarily what we've been borrowing trillions of dollars worth things that are noble then a highway packager and infrastructure package. it could be a trillion dollars but i don't think all the house that comes from the tax payers we could work with the private sector through ppp programs and public-private enter partnerships and unshackle the private sector for fiberoptics and rail and transmission lines and pipelines and we can do a lot of good for our economy and

create jobs without raising people's taxes to do it. edward: senator kevin cramer from the great state of north dakota. just ahead on "the evening edit" former trump's deputy national security advisor kt mcfarland on why the asian countries were way out in front and stopping the spread of covid and falling behind much of the west and the quest of herd immunity. ♪ you come and go ♪

edward: new data from the centers from disease 25% of americans have received one dose of the covid-19 vaccine, this week the united kingdom reached 41% progress, that number drops to 3% and most asian countries could be countries like china and south korea feel less pressure to vaccinate because they have been successful inn containing the virus through border control, quarantine and contact tracing. now health officials fear the herd immunity might be at stake. let's bring an trump nationally security advisor kt mcfarland and revolution trump, washington and we the people. let's start with vaccinations. in this country people are playing hunger games to try to get the vaccination and if you look at china, is that going to stop the coronavirus from continuing in the globe?

>> there is nothing that shows a difference between the united states and china more starkly than how we dealt with the coronavirus. the chinese knew they had a problem from the very beginning, what was their solution, they locked their country down they don't let them travel in and out of wuhan to other parts of china, anybody who had coronavirus had a total surveillance in china so they watched because they locked their families, their apartment buildings down, that's how they stop the spread let's watch the rest of the world, the chinese they didn't like down the rest of the world to china, they encouraged americans to go back and forth to wuhan even though they knew they had a crisis. when the united states and trump tried to -- when he actually shut down the border between china and theni united states china accused him of racism paid what was the american solution to all of this we will make a

vaccine. the bottom line that the chinese caused the crisis, because the virus, what did america do, f america cured it, we found the vaccine and he doesn't get enough credit but because of operation warp speed he encouraged american pharmaceutical companies at no cost to themselves, no loss that they would develop the vaccine and nobody thought they would be this far longer i vaccinations. other than the two countries united states, west, asia and say what's missing, and the west we have a problem, we solve it, what do the chinese do they locked everybody down and go to total surveillance state. edward: from a national security perspective, when china says it has a handle on the spread of the virus do we actually believe they have a handle on the spread of the virus in the mutations if the virus does not go away it could be a national security

risk? >> if china doesn't have a solution, they are not vaccinating their people if anything they will withstand a faulty vaccine that they developed for the third world and they're not getting herder immunity. their solution any access or exposure to it you shuffled off to another part of society and not allowed to go to their apartment or to mix with the rest of society. in the west we have a different attitude there we will find a cure and find a cure quickly and have herd immunity. even if there are successive waves of this work mutates and takes a different form, we in the united states and britain are way ahead of the game, china is going to have to start over again every time. edward: the chinese have suspended vaccination using pfizer and biotech because some of them had defective lids pfizer says in a statement there's no reason to believe unsafe, the only vaccine available in hong kong is china

made by government back company, it sounds a little fishy, doesnt it. >> it does sound a little strange, china is taken over hong kong, the only vaccine available is a chinese vaccine even though hong kong has close ties to u great britain, i just think the whole thing smacks the politics because the chinese have gone around the world and set america is not able to deal with the 21st century if you want to deal with the virus of the problems of the 21st century ours is the right model. look at this, their falsifying figures, must be polite. edward: very interesting. kt mcfarland, very interesting. we will stay on this, thank you for joining us in bringing the expertise to on the national security front. i appreciate it. byron york on the tax increases in one state that could be a

>> probably not tens of thousands of people fled new york during the whole coronavirus pandemic, the manhattan institute did a study last year of new york city residents who make over $100,000 a year, those residents account for 80% of the income tax revenue for new york city and 44%, nearly half say they were serious and consider leaving and when they do leaveo they go to someplace where it's cheaper. what is happened obviously living in new york involves inconvenient, it's expensive, crowded and can be difficult to get around but it offers benefits soul troll and cultural world that you can't findd elsewhere in the united states the problem when you have something like the pandemic and begins to see maybe not worth it and you see a lot of people leave and when they do leave the one to have more money off to go

lost revenue did not lose all that much. i'm with youi on that, i do not understand if you have the sense of rising revenues and plus congress has passed an extraordinary aid package $1.9 trillion, a good deal will go to new york. >> 350 goes to new york in the states with higher unemployment the greater the locked and get more money out of the package. it is interesting other states look at this and say we love to have several more billion dollars to play with into a project, do you think other states would say we could raise her taxes under the guides of covid? >> i think another number of states are lowering their taxes to attract more people west virginia are considering getting rid of the state income tax with florida and texas. if you have a combination of lower income tax which is the

situation you leave your house you get your car and drive to a restaurant you park your car and go inside, it's a convenient lifestyle in some states have to offer. i think a number of them are trying to find ways to make themselves more, not less to attracting people to leaving new york. >> that is the market in action statewide. thank you for your time on this. coming up big tech facing lawmakers again the ceos of twitter, alphabet, google's parent company and facebook will be grilled we have with the ceos are going to tell lawmakers coming up next. ♪ee at libertymutual.com. really? i'll check that out. oh yeah. i think i might get a quote.

power, the regulation of that censorship, and determine what opinion and was a flat out lie, how do you break to regulate those people that decided to be regulators. >> in some instances you have democrats who would like to break up some of the companies at the very least their goal is to create a stranglehold and to communicate on the platforms. with the threat of regulation constantly hanging over facebook, twitter, google what are they going to do they will obey democrats because they're scared of what they will hurt s them in their profits this is a hostage crisis where the tech companies although they agree politically they see their profits at stake and as a result will obey to the extent that they can. >> was over under on the twitter ceo saying they have been misled and they're looking to do a better job at transparency we

edward: we edward: morgan to get to her last guest border securityur caucus co-chair brian babin, th. u.s. is on pace to see 17000 other company minors in texase the military is being asked to how some of those in the search. yet the focus on kids that is going on mixed in with the surge and the common element some more examples of criminals are crossing the border the arrested two illegal aliens or criminal history honduran national charged with rape and another honduran national was previously arrested and charged with second-degree sexual assault of a child. how concerning is this to you that there slipping through or in. >> great to be with you, it's extremely concerning for me. it should be as well for president biden and his administration.

our mandate and our duties as elected officials is to keep the national security and keep famerican safe and keep us free from crime and disease. in the chaos that is happening on the border that the administration denies is even a crisis, it is just absurd and quite frankly the biden administration has failed america, they've utterly failed, it's going over a cliff real soon and i think it's time for the great state of texas to filp up in enforcing the laws on our border, i'm not an attorney and i don't know what all they can do but if the biden administration is not obeying the law and not enforcing the law in texas needs to step up and protect its own citizens. edward: you mention the safety and security the cbp rescued an

injured hiker in the arizona mountains and this is the kind of work they can do more of instead of their attention on t the surge. if you look at the video that the agent sent out you see on the side of the screen the windm were gusting 40 miles per hour plus amounts made it i impossibe for arizona state to rescue helicopter and they came out of tucson, arizona and they hovered over and they wasted the hiker without broken leg up, this is where you want the attention on safety and security as opposed to babysitting on the border and folks coming crossedor illegall. >> the biden of administration has essentially empower the cartels, the cartels no exactly what they're doing, the cartels trained the migrants and they will bum rush the border in certain areas and they know where things are, they will bum rush the border, create a diversion which creates a gap on the up the line and

border and that's where they will come across with the drugsi and the human trafficking. they know exactly what the drain 14 million per day that's an estimation which i think is very accurate in the biden of administration simply denies reality and in fact washington, d.c. we have miles of steel wall and national guard troops standing around thousands of them. and some of them are sleeping or the concrete on the floor for no credible thought. yet the biden administration has spent $86 million on illegal aliens. they have released 23000 plus aliens into the country, many of them know that, up to 15000 unaccompanied juveniles and children many of these children are 16 and 17 years old and we got them housed all over.

edward: congressman i'm running up against a break, just quickly in the last 30 seconds i wanted to ask you is the money they're making across these illegal immigrants and building the cartels? >> there is no question about it let me say one quick thing, i know were running out of time. there is a quote by an ominous border patrol agent and donna texas and he said in pod three a which is a holding facility that they used to call them cages another holding facilities is designed toed hold 80 people and today it has 694 unaccompanied children in the facility which is 867%. edward: we have to leave it there, those numbers are astounding. we will have to leave it there, i'mnk edward lawrence and for elizabeth macdonald. you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business, that does it for us this evening. have a good evening.

♪ ♪♪ >> "kudlow" welcome back to "kudlow." the comments from fed chair jay powell and economic growth in the labor market may have helped and that bullishness seems to have permeated the white house as well as president joe biden reportedly optimistic if he can ram his left-wing agenda through congress. to do so he's on board as with eliminating the senate filibuster as well as pitching any notion of going back on his word. rean
