martha: so late for the became but it will be fun. bill: how about, in the 50s in mid-july? martha: stop complaining! put on a sweater. open the windows. "happening now" starts right now. we'll see you back here tomorrow, everybody. have a great day. jenna: brand new perspective on the immigration crisis as fox takes an exclusive tour of the border. hello, everybody, hope you're off to great tuesday so far. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. rio grand valley with hundreds of families and children flooding across the border illegally. the river is tough to enforce. fox got a chance to see what border patrol agents are up against with a exclusive tour of the border patrol sector. john roberts take a tour on border patrol boats. he joins us from mission texas

with what he has seen, john? >> reporter: jon, when you have this perspective, when you're on the rio grand, you realize what a difficult job border agents have securing our southern border with mexico. we took a tour with chief kevin oaks. he is the chief of the rio grand regional area, rio grand valley, this is ground zero in the immigration crisis. this is huge task. they have just in this sector alone, 300 miles of twisting turning water to patrol. every few hundred feet you see areas where people come across the mexican border, got into inflatable raft and flowed to the american side. in some areas where the current is running heavy, only takes them eight seconds to get across. there is also issue, in terms of stopping people, patrolling this river, can be deterrent to folks that don't want to get caught. but folks that do like so many central american immigrants, once they are in the river they are likely to get across. >> trying to interdict on the

water, especially rio grand is problematic. that is not something we typically do. you wouldn't want to see somebody drink and drown. this river is very dangerous. unless mexico and honduras, guatemala, el salavador have to be our partners checking their border and people leaving their country. >> reporter: chief objection says law enforcement alone can not solve the problem. administrative action, removing people, diplomacy with other countries there is growing chorus of voices on capitol hill including texas republican congressman steve stockman, who believe the best way to deal with this, for the president to send strong message for people in central america, if you come to this country illegally, you will not be allowed to stay and you will be quickly sent back. >> they take their life savings, five to 7,000 for your life savings. would you want to risk life savings, going thousands of miles over treacherous terrain

and risk it all-knowing you will come back here? no you won't. that is the kind ever message we need to send. >> reporter: certainly a lot of critics of that policy who believe there are certain number of central american illegal immigrants have a reason to flee for their lives from their home country. it is no easy problem to solve. it is so many tentacles, going so many different directions and levels of government, everybody has to work together to get this thing fixed. jon: there are times of year and places where you can walk across the rio grande. but that is not the case where you are. >> reporter: not where we are, just further down river, past the park, there is a big dam there in the wintertime this, is kind of the rainy season. in the wintertime the water there is very low and you can literally walk across. but the crossing area further down the dam where the current runs very quickly. the coyotes put a bunch of people into rubber raft. eight seconds to get across the

river. eight seconds to drop them off and eight seconds back. in 30 seconds the coyote brought 30 people across the river and back. jon: jon roberts, thank you. jenna: new developments in the crisis in the middle east. israel resuming its strikes on hamas militants in gaza after israel agreed to egyptian cease-fire plan this morning and hamas rejected the deal saying it was never consulted on the proposal. most of the rockets fired into israel from gaza, we're watching lebanon and where tension is spreading. rockets fired from south lebanon into israeli territory last night. israel retaliating by shelling the launch site. david lee miller at the gaza border with the very latest. david lee? >> reporter: cease-fire? what cease-fire? militants in gaza never halted their fire. throughout the last several hours rockets have repeatedly been fired by militants into israel, targeting southern

cities of eskelon and even starote. the northern city of haifa came under attack. israel's iron dome successfully intercepted we hear, and jenna, i'm going to stop what i was saying here just to point out to you, go back to live picture here, off in the distance here, illustrate my point, you can see perhaps the white smoke. that is a rocket being launched in gaza. that was a pretty loud launch. we don't know where that rocket is now heading. it may be in the direction of central israel, based on the sound of the blast, or possibly haifa. it was a pretty loud blast. we expect people are scrambling in israel, running for their lives, running into shelters as the sirens blair, knowing that a rocket fired by militants is coming their way -- blare.

to pick up the point i was making in the last self hours, the militants have repeatedly fired these rockets. finally when the militants reached a number of 70, israel which honored the truce, decided enough was enough. and that's when israel decided to resume airstrikes. in the last several hours there have been a number of airstrikes, as many as 30 by the israeli air force. they're going after the tunnels. they're going after weapons warehouses. and of course they're going after the rocket launchers themselves. it should be pointed out that this cease-fire, jenna, took effect, 2:00 a.m. east coast time. over the next 12 hours the plan was, this egyptian-brokered deal, this cease-fire is going to be gradually phased n that means in the next three hours this cease-fire should be fully implemented. apparently now it is not taking

hold. hamas in gaza rejects it. hamas leadership exiled, hamas leaders outside of gaza say they are having consultations discussing the merits of this cease-fire. and additionally, although, the israeli prime minister and the security cabinet here approved this cease-fire a are ministers within the government, including the foreign minister, very influential minister, who has rejected this cease-fire. so right now it seems like this cease-fire, if you want to call it that, is on very shaky ground. the violence continues and so do the chances of a possible ground incursion. jenna? jenna: important report for us today, david lee, thank you very much. jon: the scandal at the department of veterans affairs seems to be getting even worse. amid new charges of cover-ups, this time concerning millions of dollars in disability payments some veterans got without adequate evidence they deserved

money. whistle-blowers said this happened in a rush to cut cut a huge backlog of claims. when they faced concerns about this and earth issues they refaced retaliation. >> i faced retaliation of improper sledding of military mail, veterans receiving duplicate payments after improper payment has been made and not returned, data manipulation and various other gross misinterpretations of law. instead of solving problems i was an continue to be retaliated by va. these morally bankrupt managers in time and grade mod up into powerful decisions and where they have the power around continue to ruin people's lives. jon: joining us with more, ellison barber, she's a staff writer at the "washington free beacon." morally bankrupt managers who have risen into positions of power. pretty scary stuff, ellison. >> i sat through the testimony who listened to three different

whistle-blowers, from three different regional offices. one from philadelphia, one from st. petersburg and one from columbia, south carolina. they said pretty openly, have you or experienced retaliation? they all said yes, absolutely. one man who testified he actually lost his job. he felt that it was because of retaliation. that he was told on june 30th, that he lost his job pause his services were no longer needed. when one of the congressman, representative lamborn, from colorado sits on committee, when he asked the undersecretary of veterans benefits administration about the firings, she said what she herd today was not normal reason to be fired. seems like you did have a lot of instances, really egregious instances with particularly firing of one whistle-blower related to retaliation because they reported things they saw happening in their department they didn't think were appropriate. jon: talk about government efficiency, apparently somebody decided it would be great to reward people with gift cards if

they processed the highest number of claims. so what ends up happening, they sled shred those claims bit thousands to get rid of them an maybe it apappear they have gotten their job done and therefore they get the gift card. >> exactly. the va set the goal under eric shinseki and wanted to get 98% of the compensation and pension claims finish by 2015. one lawmaker said it created perverse incentive is term he used. you had situations because they were trying to get rid of backlog and trying to do it by 2015 you saw more appeals going up. saw a lot of errors. you saw things like one whistle-blower saw, people in the mail center were taking applications coming in, the benefit claims. when they saw information missing say, a veteran forgot to put their social security on the application. when they realized that wasn't on there instead taking time to go through to get the information and figure out more about the claim.

they put knit separate pile, saying they couldn't figure out what it is. according to this whistle-blower, a lot of those documents, over 9boxs of those were shredded. basically the claims were disappearing. a lot of lawmakers when the va undersecretary testified later in the night she said sheer reducing backlog and they made historic record-breaking reductions, he said he didn't believe the numbers at all and he didn't buy them. he thought they were cooking the books and manipulating data in order to say they made these achievements. jon: i know colorado congressman doug lamborn provide ad statement to the beacon. he said there is a culture of corruption at the va. kristin rule's testimony at the top of the segment certainly testified to that. how do you get rid of that? we have a new head of the veterans administration but it sound like this, some of the problems are systemic. how do you clean house that thoroughly? >> it is growing to be really difficult. that is what is so significant about this the problems we heard of before, were from the

veterans hospitals. then we heard some reports in "the new york times" piece saying maybe there is also some issues with active military hospitals. now to hear there are problems with the division that deals with veterans benefits shows this is a serious problem that is not just isolated to the veteran hospitals but it goes around the entire agency. and it is incredibly concerning anytime we turn around, seems like there is new development where someone is doing something improperly and manipulating data. this is huge problem that needs to get fixed. everyone cares about veterans and last group of people you want to see this happen to. this is so systemic and it will be incredibly difficult to fix in that certain amount of time. jon: each one of those files in boxes of records was somebody's hope, dream, a little bit of help and they take them to the machine and shred them. ellison barber at the "washington free beacon." keep an eye on this for us. thank you. >> you bet. jenna: deadly rush-hour traffic accident sending more than 100 people to the hospital. we'll have the latest what happened and where.

plus the murder trial of oscar pistorius is wrapping up but he is not escaping more trouble these days. the former olympian is getting into a whole new set of problems at a local bar. we'll have those details on that. we want to hear from you. should we race the gas tax or cut highway spending to pay for the trust fund? making sure that your roads are drivable, jon. what is what the funds are for. president is talking about during the hour. our chat is up and running. go to fox news. com/happening now.

jon: right now, new info on some crime stories we're following. oscar pistorius getting into a fight at a popular johannesburg nightclub. his cousin says "the blade runner" was approached by a man who was aggressively questioning him about his murder trial. that man says the former olympian was drunk and insulting his friend and family. it is not yet clear whether this

incident will affect the pistorius murder trial. florida police arrest a tampa bay woman after she left her 19 month old daughter in a car while she stopped. that parking lot was 92 degrees at the time. woman says her daughter was sleeping and she didn't want to wake her up. opening arguments underway in the up state new york trial of a man accused of leading police on a two county car chase while a bicycle he hit, dangled, dying from his pickup truck ladder rack. jenna: 20 people killed as subway derails in moscow. at least 150 others hurt. investigators are ruling out a terror attack and looking at several other possibilities to explain why this train jumped tracks during rush hour. amy kellogg with the latest from london. amy. >> reporter: jenna this is the deadliest accident ever not related to terrorism on moscow's metro. suspicions always do initially point to terrorism because over 100 people have been killed on

moscow's trains or around moscow's trains since terrorism really became an issue in russia a decade 1/2 ago but generally moscow subway is considered very safe and reliable. one of the points of pride in the old soviet union and very deep and during the cold war it doubled as potential nuclear bomb shelter. recently there are many complaints from the unions that something bad was bound to happen. that maintenance work was sorely mead needed and people would die. that happened during rush hour. the site of derailment was west of the city between two stations which is the world's deepest subwaystation at 275 feet below ground and the country's oldest. first it had been reported that a power surge led to an alarm going off that. caused the train's driver to brake suddenly, throwing three cars off their tracks. authorities are saying that is not exactly what happened.

they're looking into alternative theories such as sinking of roadbed underneath those trains. moscow's mayor says a criminal case will be launched. jenna, important to point out there are also dozens of people in the hospital in critical condition. it is a very hot day in moscow. there is no air conditioning in these old subway cars. it has been incredibly different, arduous and complicated operation. there are still about a dozen bodies trapped in those mangled cars. jenna. jenna: wow, terrible. aim mixer thank you. jon: in this country major flooding out west to tell you about. how crews came to one woman's rescue after she was nearly swept away by rising floodwaters. plus, are young americans becoming more conservative? "the new york times" weighs in on that topic. what that papeer has to say might surprise you.

jon: it is monsoon season in arizona. yes, arizona. here is what it looked like in phoenix where heavy rains and flash floods trapped people in their cars including one woman who said she couldn't swim. three firefighters managed to get her and pull her to safety, each getting a big hug in return. arizona monsoon season started about a month ago t ends mid september. my sister lives there and she is not happy. jenna: does she have an umbrella? jon: she has an umbrella and air-conditioning. those are the essential things. jenna: moving on to politics right now, who has the advantage, democrats or republicans when it comes to young voters? two pieces in "the new york times" fast few weeks raising questions about the future of american politics. the first piece, why teenagers today may grow up conservatives suggest young people may not vote as heavily democratic as they have in the past few elections. that eventually more young

people may become more conservative and vote gop. another piece by the same writer, a week later in "the new york times" says new polling suggests there is not much evidence that the young are leaning more conservative, at least not yet. so what is the truth here? paw taylor, senior fellow at pew research center, author of a recently published book called, the next america, that deals exactly with the generational question we're asking. great to have you on the program to ask you a little bit about this. the commonly-held belief that young people will be liberal and they will be democrat s that true for this generation that is coming up in this political environment we're in. >> you know that is an afor rich is always true except when it isn't -- aphorism. track today's young adults in mid 20s and 30s, they're old enough to vote in a few presidential election. they are the most democratic, big d, cohort of young adults we've seen. if you go up one generation to

the so-called gen-xers, they came in as more conservative voting bloc. that is the history so far. but there is another truth about these young voters that stand alongside that, despite the voting, despite their liberal views on a lot of political and social issues they don't choose to identify with either the democratic or republican party. a record share call themselves independent. and to that extent they are somewhat up for grabs. jenna: let me stop you there. if they're up for grabs who has upper hand getting them to come to their side, listen i'm an independent, i will not register democrat or republican? >> if you look at policy beliefs, you would say democrats have upper hand. young voters, reward or punish on the basis of performance. if you look at performance of washington over the last five or six years, which is the years that these young adult the come of age, they look at washington, they say the place isn't working

very well. in fact they're very turned off by it. that hurts both parties and particularly hurts the democrats because barack obama is the president of the united states. he is in effect the leader of the in party. he incurs a lot of young adults five or six years ago to believe he could bring hope and change and change the way politics works. i think the verdict is, that hasn't happened. there may be political fallout for that for his party. jenna: interesting. things that the "new york times" is talking about in the first piece about why young people may be more conservative is the fact that government performance overall is not so good. you have a democrat in the white house. so the question being raised as we look forward to 2016, are these voters truly up for grabs? i'm curious, paul, as you look at this group, in the past, if you were a democrat at 18, 19, 20, does that mean you will be a democrat the rest of your life? is that true for this group or does it seem people are changing with every election? >> that's another truth that is

true until it isn't. i think if you look at people in my general rage, the -- generation, the baby boomers they were democrat if not at all of them, as we came of age in 20s and 30s, pew research center did poll of adults what happened to you during the course of your lifetime, the majority of boomers said i have gotten more conservative. another reality about today's young adults they don't part themselves with a brand at the beginninof their lives and say i'm sticking with it forever, whether it's a political party. whether it is an automobile. whether it is a cereal. they live in an era where technological change happens almost overnight. their dna is attuned to that. they're grazers. they're ready for next big thing. i think you can assume they're parked any place. jenna: sure. >> one reason more likely than not they will remain liberal. that is because a record share of this generation of young

adults is non-white. about 43% of so-called millenials are non-white. if you look at their younger brothers and sisters, you're looking majority of youngsters, kids today are non-white. if you look the way those voting patterns played out over the last 40 or 50 years you see the non-white constituents, blacks, hispanics, asian-americans are heavily democrat. unless the republican party find a way to crack that code, then they are looking at ever increasing demographic challenges. jenna: what about libertarian point of view? that has been a strong thread within the republican party. you have mentioned that there is a lot of disillusionment with the federal government. does that seem to resonate with young people regardless of what race they are? does that seem to be something that is strong if you're looking at what will bring a certain group, a certain age to one side or the other? >> yeah. i think you see strand of libertarianism among all age groups, particularly among young

adults. i don't think it rises at this point to a majority opinion. i think within the republican party we're seeing it this week. you have this fissure between the libertarians on foreign policy, who are more isolationist and hawks who are more aggressive. that is issue for republican party, for all voters work out. and again, among the minorities, among young adults i don't think you see much libertarianism. jenna: interesting. >> the only reason this country tend to think is a good thing, it is there to protect us and provide services. that is not libertarian point of view. jenna: i forever now think the young voters as grazers paul, what you had to say. choosing as they go along throughout their lives. looking forward to having you back on the program, thank you. >> thanks for having me. jon: the middle east heating up. hamas calls for a truce with, i should say hamas met calls for a truce with more rocket attacks

across all of israel. israel retaliated with airstrikes in gaza. what has to be done to try to solve this current conflict? we'll take you in depth with a middle east expert. vo: david's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. fousugar. only six?ns. six grams of sugar? that's really good. excellent, delicious... and yummy! honey bunches of oats. tasty! yummy!

>> dozens of rounds of israeli air strikes hit palestinian targets today. this after egypt proposed a cease fire between israel and hamas. israel agreed but hamas said no and continued raining rockets on israel. now israel is vowing to step up counter attacks. rick joins us now to discuss where the conflict goes from here. he has advised four u.s. ambassadors to the u.n. and he's also a fox news contributor. this is a movie we've seen time and time again. how does this one end, rick? >> who knows? but we've got to have something different. we can't continue on this cycle where rockets come over into israel, israel responds, there's a bunch of destruction and then the palestinians ask for some

sort of international aid. there's a lot of u.s. taxpayer dollars going to rebuild and to try to change this equation inside palestine. we've got to change it. and one thing that i want to point out, you just read that this is a peace deal brokered by egypt. egypt is one of the countries that classifies hamas as a terrorist organization. so does jordan, e.u., u.s. this is a problem that the palestinians have. hamas, governing gaza is a terrorist organization and yet, they are part of the government. >> israelis gave it back to the palestinians to manage themselves and this is the thanks they get? >> palestinians have a serious problem with hamas. they have to have leadership. you have to feel for the many palestinian people who want peace. i think there are many. they just don't have leaders. israel doesn't have a peace partner and i think this goes back to the dilemma for the

obama administration is that they cannot be pressuring israel alone when palestinians clearly, the palestinian government has the problem with hamas. >> we have a new government in egypt, you know. egypt has generally had, you know, pretty good relations with israel over the past couple of decades at least. they put forward this peace deal but don't tell the israelis about it or don't consult with the israelis about it? >> yeah. this has been a huge problem in the region for trying to have countries in the region really treat israel fairly and i think that what needs to happen is the obama administration needs to look at the reality of the situation and the united nations as well. israel doesn't have a peace partner. they don't have a lot of support. this is a very tough region so it's a big dilemma. this is a problem for the palestinian authority. they need to decide, should israel exist or should not? hamas does not want israel to even exist. how do you have a peace

negotiation when the other side wants you to completely end and cease to exist? >> so is there leverage that the united states has in terms of some of this rebuilding money? you say that we spend billions of dollars on the palestinians and helping them frankly rebuild some of their infrastructure after these attacks. >> how refreshing would it be if the united states government actually said, don't lob rockets into israel and you won't have these problems. if we actually came out and said there are consequences for your actions and we are no longer going to give u.s. taxpayer dollars to rebuild, something might change. >> it's a good way to raise children. consequences for your actions. might work with the palestinians. thank you. >> thanks, jon. >> new cutting edge research on alzheimer's this week unveiled in copenhagen. it could be possible to detect early signs of the disease using your nose or using your eyes.

every 67 seconds, someone in the united states develops alzheimer's which means by the time we finish this segment, at least three people will be diagnosed. more than five million americans are living with the disease and alzheimer's is a sixth leading cause of death in the united states. joining me now is dr. heather snyder from the alzheimer's association. that association is hosting the conference in copenhagen along with a neurologist who often treats alzheimer patients. i would like to talk to you. you've been at this conference for a lot of research unveiled. are we any closer to a cure? >> every year we continue to see the incremental progress associated with our understanding around always hiem he were's disease, including our understanding around what might be the earliest changes associated with alzheimer's disease for better early detection and diagnosis. also we're seeing the continued development of the diversity of the pipeline for new therapy

targets being developed and we're also continuing to understand the puzzle about what might be the pieces that are associated with an increased or a decreased risk associated with alzheimer's disease. >> we have a little bit of a delay. i just want to.out to the viewers. one of the interesting headlines that came out over the weekend is how the sense of smell or our eyes might telegraph where we would have a disposition to develop alzheimer's later in our life. how? how is our nose, how are our eyes tied somehow to telegraphing that? >> well, if you think about it, your brain is in your head and your eyes and your nose are by location very close to where your brain is. alzheimer's disease, you have the buildup of a particular protein and what several studies that are being presented here at the conference show is that you can actually also detect that buildup of that same protein in

either the lens or the retina of the eye. >> dr. snyder, we'll leave it there. thank you so much. great to have you on our program. i'm going to turn to dr. winter now to talk a little bit about the practicality of all of this. dr. winter, what about this? what we learned about either the buildup in the eye that telegraphs we could have alzheimer's or sense of smell; that something used soon that we might develop the disease? >> sure. we've known about the association between the sense of smell and early detection of alzheimer's disease probably for two decades now, if not longer. research doesn't represent something new but what's exciting about the research is the better application of this knowledge to the early detection. i mean, a year ago it was determined that peanut butter, smelling it differently on the left and the right might be a determination of alzheimer's disease and so we're really trying to hone out exactly how

to apply this to benefit our patients. >> even the researcher said, listen. there's a lot of reason why you might have less of a reason of a sense of smell including allergies so don't try this at home. right, doctor? >> right. so please don't call my office if you can't smell your peanut butter. it's probably because you have a cold right now. it's okay. >> alzheimer's is similar to other diseases that have no cure s. there anything we can do for ourselves today that you would recommend that would give us a leg up, if you will, that would help us not develop the disease if we're predisposed to do so? >> absolutely. there's good news. if you're an american over the age of 60, you're 44% less likely to develop alzheimer's today than 30 years ago. that really has to do with better control of blood pressure, better control of our blood sugar and diabetes and as a sleep expert, keep in mind that the protein that dr. snyder was referring to is 10 times

more likely to be removed from your brain while you sleep than while you're awake. it's important to get good sleep and good rest throughout your life as a way to stave off this terrible condition. >> end with some good news, at least, that the rates are going down for those in america and as we mentioned, a few minutes passed since we did this segment. every 67 seconds, someone else is diagnosed with alzheimer's. great to see you. thank you so much. >> you're welcome. thank you. >> folks in one town are being told that illegal immigrants will arrive there any day now and the towns people have no say in the matter. now those residents are rising up in protest. >> we have 8-year-old kids that are coughing and sneezing out blood. suspected t.b. cases. that's going to come out into our community.

>> somebody is going to be "outnumbered" in 15 minutes. kimberly and kennedy, what's going on? >> to get you on, we have to get you on a plane. so the immigration crisis heating up as the obama administration steps up the sales pitch to convince lawmakers to approve nearly $4 billion to combat the growing problem. >> a little later if you've ever applied for a job, you probably had to say whether or not you've been convicted of a crime but now some critics want to change all that. >> could you be a jerk at work and not even know it? can you believe this?

the new research that may surprise you. never. >> so much more. all that and our hashtag one lucky guy on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour. >> looking forward to that. thank you, ladies. >> it's a thing that is playing out across the country and a variety of different region. you have some americans are happy to learn that some i mean legal immigrants that have been coming across may be placed in their communities with a little input from residents. one town where there's a big question about what will happen next is vasser, michigan. protestors are protesting a legal company that is going to house illegal immigrants. dan is a vice mayor, as i understand it. it's great to have you on the program. tell us a little bit about what's going on in your 2600 person town. >> thank you. on july 1 myself and three other council people, the city manager, police, fire, school superintendent, we were invited

to an informational meeting at wolverine human services. and they had some -- a plan that they wanted to share with us. upon getting there, most of us had no idea what it was all about. they explained to us that they had been talking with a company called heartland alliance in chicago, illinois and that the plan was they were going to bring to vasser anywhere from 60 to 120 juveniles ages 14 to 17. they laid out their plan. they never at any time ever asked us for permission or input. they didn't ask for any advice, although they gave us a chance at the end to ask some questions. so we were basically told this is what it was going to be if the contracts are signed and so forth. >> that's a big "if", right? we don't know for sure if that's going to happen. we just know that this non

profit in your town is offering to -- the contract to the government. >> yes. yes. they visited each other's facilities. our people went to chicago and theirs came here, looked around and apparently, both agreed that this would be a good fit for the -- for pioneer work and learn. they have two buildings out there, each one holds 60 residents which would be 120 if they all came. they told us they would be males aged 14 to 17. i guess it's 12 to 17 now but at the time it was 14 to 17 at the vasser facility. >> that changes things when you hear it could be unaccompanied minors who could be four years old versus 12 to 17-year-olds, young men. we're seeing, by the way, some protests in your town from yesterday evening. there are obviously people that are upset about this. in general, dan, if you could, just sum up the concerns of the community. >> i would say most of the

concerns is about security. we have -- i personally know some people who are from honduras, from guatemala and they told me these young children as they like to be told, they're not children at all. many of them are hardened, almost men who have lived -- who perhaps are involved with ms 13, the gangs from down there. they have had a hard life, they've seen murders and rapes, kidnappings, robberies and the facilities out there as far as security, there's not even a fence. >> so the big concern, as you mentioned, security and exactly who would come to the town. just really quick, what's next? when will you know if this is actually going to take place? and what course of action are you attempting to try to get more information? >> well, we keep in contact with pioneer work and learn on a daily basis. what they told us is that when the contracts are signed, if

they're going to be, they will make a public statement and they will let us know and hopefully they will let us know when these buses are going to arrive, if they're going to. hopefully we'll have a heads up. some states they just all of a sudden show up and even the governor doesn't know about it. i hope that doesn't happen here. >> it's interesting to get your perspective, one town's perspective how this issue is impacting you so far away from the border. we've also reached out to wolverine human services pioneer work and learn center and we haven't received any response. we're waiting for that as well. dan, great to have you on the program. thank you so much. >> fox news alert. president obama is in mc lane, virginia right now making remarks on the economy. he's particularly planning to push congress to do something about the highway trust fund

seriously. exhibit a, instagram post of her 4-year-old daughter's pj's. think we're ready to start sharing clothing yet? while some found it cute, others criticized her for showing off an unrealistic view of body image given her thin frame. the star responded breaking news, world scandal. form reality star, failed talk show host and clock stale may have en wears her daughter's pj's. when your 4-year-old peanut says please put my dress on and giggles uncontrollably, you do what you're told. the intruder arrested inside sandra bullock's house, it turns out he came face to face with her outside her bedroom. pretty freaky considering that cops later found seven guns at the perp's home. he was carrying a notebook and

it had cut out pictures of bullock and one of the notes said i will forever think of you and louie, my son. you belong to me and me to you. >> yeah. no, you don't. >> he was arrested, we hope. >> he was arrested. absolutely. and inside her home which is pretty creepy. she was in the shower while he was in the house. could you imagine? really, really creepy. she found him in her hallway in her house. >> somebody better get a new security system. >> absolutely. julie, thanks. >> bye. >> here are a couple of stories we're working on for you next hour of "happening now." a rare form of the plague surfacing here in the united states. what's being done to keep it from spreading. plus with just days to go before the date for an iran nuke deal, john kerry says the talks are going on now and what he plans to tell the president ahead. defiance never grows old. citracal maximum.
