a few weeks later. >> i don't believe that. do you believe that? >> i do believe that. they were chili peppers i can have a serious impact. >> don't fear the reaper. they will challenge you next week on that one. that's it for us. happening now starts now. >> jon: we begin of the fox news alert. white house homeland security advisor tom bossert is resigning. no official reason given just yet but a source tells fox news his resignation as part of john bolton's reshuffling of the national security council. white house press secretary sarah sanders tells fox news in a statement the white house is grateful for tom's commitment to the security and safety of our great country. tom led the white house's efforts to protect the homeland from terrorist threats, strengthen our cyber defenses, and respond to an unprecedented series of natural disasters. president trump thanks them him for his patriotic service and wishes him well.

it can in this fox news alert on action against syria as we now await the u.n. security council vote just days after that suspected chemical weapons attack near damascus that killed several thousand. u.n. secretary general says he is outraged by syria's apparent use of gas against his own people saying if it's confirmed, it would be a clear violation of international law. this as president from the house to respond forcefully and while the u.s. poses for a vote on a resolution against syria. >> history will record this as a mom of the security council either discharged its duty or demonstrated its utter and complete failure to protect the people of syria. either way, the united states will respond. >> senior correspondent eric shawn is live at the united nations.

>> good morning. as ambassador haley just said, this is seen as a test of the u.n.'s mission and its very purpose. security council diplomats tell fox news to the devil will be held at 3:00 p.m. eastern time today just under four hours from now and many of the diplomats here are wondering if russia will veto this resolution as it has so many previous resolutions dealing with its ally, syria and bashar al-assad. the u.s. draft revolution condemns a suspected chemical attack in doom. chemical weapons were first banned by the geneva protocol back in 1925 and haley was saying this is just a horror. the resolution also calls for an independent investigation into the alleged attack and again, will likely not hold back on her searing denunciation of both bashar al-assad and moscow. ambassador haley directly put the blame for this atrocity on russia. >> the russian regime whose hands are all covered in the

blood of syrian children cannot be ashamed by pictures of its victims. russia could stop this senseless if it wanted. but it stands with the assad regime and supports without any hesitation. >> russia has offered its own resolution that those say is much weaker of course in the u.s. and its allies. they scuttled an investigative panel earlier last year dealing with a chemical weapons. in fact, russia ambassador has tried to turn the table on the u.s. allies calling all of this a fabrication and actually blaming the u.s. for the chemical attacks. >> american instructors train number of groups of fighters to stage provocations with chemical weapon use to create a pretext for a strike. >> russia has so far vetoed 11 resolutions dealing with syria, five resolutions dealing with

chemical weapons, and get this, it even gets even worse. syria next month is set to be the chair of the united nations disarmament committee in geneva. the committee deals with chemical weapons, the activist group u.n. watch is urging all the nations to simply walk out on that meeting next month. back to you. >> julie: eric shawn reporting live from the u.n. today, thank you very much. >> jon: president trump accuses his own justice department of the witch hunt made blasting the fbi for reading his longtime personal lawyer michael cummins home, office, and hotel room. the agency seizing a huge trove of records and computers. jump accusing mueller and the fbi of extreme bias. >> it's a disgraceful situation, total witch hunt. i've been saying that for a long time and i have this witch hunt constantly going on for over 12

months now. so i just think it's a disgrace. that a thing like this can happen. >> jon: she white house correspondent john roberts live on the north lawn, another busy day for you. >> it always seems to be paid good morning to you. the office of the u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york is often jokingly referred to as the sovereign district of new york because it seems to operate without much concern for the political leadership here in washington, and we saw that yesterday. president trump clearly still incensed this morning about the raid on his personal attorney michael collins to offices as well as his home, and his hotel room. the president tweeting this morning "attorney-client privilege is dead" and then tweeting later "a total witch hunt." his national security team was told what to do in the wake of the syria attack, the president went off on the raid and the molar investigation in ways that he never has. listen here.

>> it's an attack on our country and a true sense. it's an attack on what we all stand for. so when i saw this and when i heard it, i heard it like you did. i said that is really now a whole new level of unfairness. >> the president also heaped criticism on attorney general jeff sessions, putting him into the cross hairs again blaming him for the investigation getting to this point, again stating that he never would have nominated to be attorney general if he knew sessions would recuse himself. the weight on his office home and hotel room were prompted in part by a referral from the special counsel bob miller and that has again raised talk on whether the president might fire mueller. didn't appear to dissuade america from last night. listen here. >> why don't i just fired mueller? i think it's a disgrace what's going on. we will see what happens but i

think it's really a sad situation when you look at what happen. many people have said you should fire him. again, they found nothing. and that's a big statement. >> senate judiciary chairman chuck grassley said it would be a grave mistake the president to fire mueller. listen to what he said. >> i have confidence in mueller. the president ought to have confidence in mueller and i think to answer your question, it would be suicide for the president to want to talk about firing mueller. the president said on this whole thing the better off he would be, the stronger his presidency would be. >> jon: legal sources close to the president tell fox news they don't really think the president is considering firing mueller. we'll be able to ask that question at the press briefing this afternoon with sarah huckabee sanders. rod rosenstein was also the focus of the president's ire. the president pointing out that rosenstein crafted that memo

that justified the firing of james comey, but he also signed the fires of war and the start of this whole investigation in the first place. the immediate result of all of this appears to be that it's looking much less likely that the president would sit down for an interview with mueller sources familiar with the investigation that they believe there's no way the president should now sit down with muelle mueller. chuck schumer, senate minority leader pointed out just a short time ago from the floor of the senate that every person involved in the decision to initiate that raid on michael cohen is a republican and all except one, robert mueller were appointed by the president. so chuck schumer wondering why the president is pointing fingers at people that he has appointed. >> jon: some weird spinning of the circles there in washington. thanks for keeping an eye on it for us. john roberts, chief white house

correspondent. >> julie: fox news alert, investors breathing a bit easier this morning so far. stop searching amid fears of a trade war with china e's. the dow up over 400 points at this hour. chinese president xi jinping helping us to the market concerns after promising to lower tariffs on vehicle imports and ease restrictions on foreign ownership in its auto industry. president trump meanwhile taking aim at those tariffs monday saying it was stupid trade he called it the making no direct mention of president pledged to further open china's markets and conditions for foreign companies as soon as possible. >> jon: meanwhile, national guard troops starting to arrive on our southern border with mexico to help with security operations and try to stem the flow of illegal immigration. more are expected in the coming days after the governors of

texas, arizona, and new mexico yesterday committed to deploying hundreds more troops there. california is the only border state that has yet to make plans to send national guard troops. it's governor jerry brown has repeatedly fought with president trump over immigration policy. we will have a live report on the story a little later in the hour. >> julie: the two nerve agent attack victims in britain hitting significant milestones on the road to recovery. will have an update on their conditions coming up. plus, a crucial day for facebook ceo mark zuckerberg as he gets ready to testify before congress in a rare joint committee hearing. louisiana senator john kennedy joins us next to shed some light on what we can expect. >> i don't want to hurt facebook. i don't want to regulate it to death. but we have a problem. >> tech: at safelite autoglass

>> jon: released from a british hospital more than a month after she was poisoned by a military grade nerve agent together with her father, former russian spy. the two were found slumped on a park bench in englishtown in early march, both in critical condition for weeks. because this is not the end of her treatment that marks a significant milestone. her father has also made good progress. although he is recovering more slowly, we hope that he too will be able to leave hospital in due course. >> jon: britain accuses russia of being behind that nerve agent attack raid britain, the u.s., and other western governments have expelled the scores of russian diplomats over incident. russia denies any involvement in the poising. >> julie: fox news alert. in just a few hours from now, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg will be facing some pretty tough questions on privacy policies

amidst a firestorm over how the company use personal data like yours and millions of others of users during the first two congressional hearings this week on capitol hill. zuckerberg meeting with top lawmakers yesterday. among those expected to be at the hearing, senate judiciary committee member john kennedy and senate commerce committee chairman johnson. pickle he's off as they a lot riding on this. taking it head on. be his own spokesperson. this is an important day for him and his company. >> julie: the the be is in a senator john kennedy joining us now for more on what look forward to during today's testimony. thank you very much for taking time, a busy day for you. among the top issues obviously, zuckerberg will be asked about privacy. at least about the 87 million users information that was improperly shared and he needs to convince members of congress

and millions of facebook users that their information will be safe. how does he do that? >> he does it by being candid. i come in peace. i don't want to have to regulate facebook. currently, we have a problem. the digital promised land has some minefields in it. and one of those minefields is the protection of people's privacy. i want to hear three words for mr. zuckerberg. i'm on it. i don't want him to spend all his time saying he's sorry, i don't want him to spend all his times and i expect responsibility. we know he's responsible, it's his company. i want him to say we've identified the problems, you are the solutions. i'm going to implement these solutions, and i'll be back in six months to tell you how i did it. one of those problems is privac privacy. i think it is smile that i can go on facebook and see what some of my high school buddies had

for dinner saturday night. but in return, i don't think i should have to give up all of my data to facebook and god knows who else in the milky way. that is not a fair trade in my opinion. they do it's not. zuckerberg was also going to likely be asked about a consent decree facebook sign with the federal trade commission back in 2011. it said it had deceived consumers by telling them that they could keep their information on facebook private and i'm not just talking about your friends dinner here. and then repeatedly allow it to be shared and made public. if facebook denies the decree. the sec is investigating. if they are found in violation, facebook faces some pretty hefty penalties. because the ftc issued is on the table. and he will be asked about that. i'll tell you another issue you will be asked about. does facebook have a political bias? a great deal has been made about the fact that the most recent

breach with cambridge analytic which worked for president trum president trump, but the media advisor for president obama was recently quoted in "the new york post," and i'll tell you what she said. she said and they, meaning facebook, were very candid that they allowed us to do things that wouldn't have been allowed someone else to do because they were on our side. i'd like to know if that's an accurate statement by president obama's media advisor and is facebook getting involved in our politics? >> julie: there's also the russian hijacking speaking of getting involved in our politic politics. facebook has taken heat for the fact that russia used its platform to influence a 2016 presidential election and in doing so, russian military intelligence actually were able to create profiles of fake americans to promote emails stolen from democrats by russian hackers.

of the whole is just a huge mess. it is zuckerberg going to be in hot water for that? >> he will be asked about it. and look, let me say it again. facebook is a fine company, an american company, very proud of that, it's big, it's powerful. i'm not against big, i'm against dom. i'm against the facebook model which seems to be facebook first and people second. i think it ought to be people first. it's people's data that facebook sells in order to generate cash flow, $16 billion a year and it just seems to me that facebook has an obligation to protect people's data. facebook also has an obligation and we have to be careful here to deal with what i call the propaganda issue. we know poison is being spread on the internet. are we going to stop it? but also, what is poison? you get it quickly and first amendment issues there.

>> julie: we will be watching. thank you very much. i like you. i like a big but don't like them. we are seeing eye to eye on a lot of things today. thank you very much come appreciate you taking the time. >> thanks for having me. >> julie: you can watch the highly anticipated hearing live here on fox news. our special coverage of mark zuckerberg's testimony starts today, 2:00 p.m. eastern, don't miss it. >> jon: a dance studio goes up in flames. how the kids inside managed to escape the raging fire. plus, he is the president's personal attorney and his home and office were rated as part of the russia investigation. the president of course blasting the move and he is not the only one. >> this is a very dangerous day today for lawyer client relations.

it's technology was engineered to see. while it's design was meant to be seen. experience the 2018 lexus nx and the nx hybrid. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

you know what's not awesome? gig-speed internet. when only certain people can get it. let's fix that. let's give this guy gig- really? and these kids, and these guys, him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party.

>> julie: several children jumping for their lives from a burning dance studio in new jersey. the horrifying escape caught on camera. you can see a girl dangling from the second story balcony while people below try to raise ladders to help them down. one by one, they dropped 10 feet to safety. the fire started in a restaurant below. it quickly spread, incredibly, no one was seriously injured. >> jon: a fox news alert on the fallout from the rate involving president from his personal attorney which was went to the robert mueller russia investigation. the president blasting the move. because they raided the office of a personal attorney earlier in the morning and i think it's a disgrace and so will talking about it more. but this is the most conflicted

group of people i've ever seen. >> jon: joining us now, ari fleischer, former white house press secretary under president george w. bush, also a fox news contributor. you have said some kind words about robert mueller and his investigation in the past. what you think about this move, raiding the president's attorney's office? >> it's extraordinary. this is so seldom done, you have to believe that the only reason it was done is because they had the goods on coven. inevitably the case because of bob mueller in the u.s. attorney for new york do not, they are going to have violated the public trust in the most fundamental way. so i have to believe knowing him as well as i do that they've got the goods. there is something that led them to do this. but here's the bigger problem. this is all now predicated on you just have to believe. you have to accept the fbi's version. the time is quickly coming for him to come public. he's going to start abusing the public's faith and trust if they

don't start to explain what they're doing and why. he does not have unlimited time and otherwise, why should people just accept this at face value? this is so extraordinary. i give the benefit of the doubt because i know mueller but you need to start getting ready to explain. >> jon: he's got the goods, must have the goods on michael cohen, but what does that get him? that's not what his mandate to investigate was all about. >> in the course of investigation, the prosecutor find something, it ends their obligation to forward it in that sense of the other people who are responsible for looking. that is apparently what was done here. mueller found something, he gave it to the u.s. attorney in new york, southern district of new york and they pursued it. the lawyer privilege is a sacred privilege. they only can do this if they've got the goods. and that's why you have to presume they have the goods. here's the other thing that

gives me pause. as much as i believe in mueller and his integrity, and i do, the fbi is not immune to making mistakes. they tragically made mistakes. they did so in a case of senator ted stevens, the justice department led the way making mistakes there and they did so in the case of who they concluded was behind the anthrax attacks and they were wrong in both instances. tragically wrong. so at this point, we have public citizens don't know what mueller's god. and the burden is increasingly going to be on him in a public arena and a political environment because it's impeachment where this might end up as a political matter. and you do not reverse the course of an election lightly. that's why the obligation is on mueller to explain what he's got, what he doesn't have which is also terribly important. >> jon: to be raiding the office of the president's personal attorney, does this possibly have something to do with the stormy daniels matter?

we don't know. >> right. we don't know but if it does, that's an violation of this or we don't know about. and if they are rating a lawyer's office for a ftc violation, that is using the bazooka to go after the fly. this is what happens when special councils with their 17 prosecutor staff get to aggressive, pick up ahead of steam and cannot be stopped. all you can do is rely on the good faith and the belief that bob mueller because he's a man of integrity but only do the right thing but how long can people just accept that? i accept that because i work with him and i know him. the american people didn't work with him. they don't know him. in any action that could endanger an election, the president was elected and if some evidence is found in may suggest he should not be elected, that the public matter. it is not just of prosecutorial matter. and mueller is going to have to hit a high bar. >> jon: worth pointing out that most of the 17 member staff

members all have been heavy donors to democrat or democratic candidates in the past. ari fleischer, thank you very much. >> julie: more national guard troops arriving on the mexico border as president trump awaits progress on his promised a while. but we can expect there in the coming days. we are going to tell you. plus, the decision from the president could come at any moment now on his response to a suspected chemical weapons attack in syria. the options he could be waiting as we speak straight ahead. >> we can't let atrocities like we all witness, and you can see that, and it's horrible -- we can't let that happen. in our world. excuse me a minute...

hi dad. no. don't try to get up. hi, i'm julie, a right at home caregiver. and if i'd been caring for tom's dad, i would have noticed some dizziness that could lead to balance issues. that's because i'm trained to report any changes in behavior, no matter how small, so tom could have peace of mind. we'll be right there. we have to go. hey, tom. you should try right at home. they're great for us. the right care. right at home.

you're smart,eat you already knew that. but it's also great for finding the perfect used car. you'll see what a fair price is and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. now you're even smarter. this is truecar. so if you have heart failure, your heart doesn't only belong to you. ask your doctor about entresto. it helped keep people alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. entresto, for heart failure. >> jon: right now,

national guard troops are heading to the southern u.s. border. governors from states bordering microscope pledging hundreds of troops. arizona says the number of troops it is sending. i live in arizona right now. it's because there's definitely urgency but we don't want to overstate reality. the word deployment does not mean arrival. take the crews of the pilots for the blackhawks behind it which could be going to the border. if they are still in processing. there is paperwork, medical and dental checkups. they have employers have to let them know how long they're going to be gone, logistics, where they going to live? how are they going to eat? what about their paychecks? they have to master skill set to what the border patrol needs and that's going to determine where they're going to go. all that takes time. governer ducey said over the next few weeks, arizona will dedicate 215 guards. mexico, 250. >> we are always going to have bad guys and we are always going to have people that want to sell drugs or want to bring people over in this human trafficking

industry. do you want to address that? 's because it basically, you're going to have guard troops doing recon, resting people. maintaining the roads. the president says 18 months, other states need to pitch into this effort. >> jon: keeping an eye on the southern border there in arizona. incorporated you paid >> julie: fox news alert as we await president from his response to an apparent capital weapons response. reporting in international chemical weapons watchdog. it's about to send a fact-finding team to damascus. president is canceling his trip to south america to monitor the latest events in syria after a possible chemical weapons attack on saturday. killing at least 40 civilians. to the vowing to respond quickly and seemed to threaten military action against the assad regime

yesterday. meghan o'sullivan is a harvard professor, former deputy national security advisor, and author of the book how it appends global politics and strengthens america's power. thank you so much for talking to us. the president is tough, tough talker and when it comes to seeing the innocent deaths of women and children, there is not anything else that makes him more incensed. he has said that nothing is off the table, what options are on the table? >> i think the conversation has very quickly and appropriately focused on the use of military force. this is of course the president of president trumbull launching strikes to a similar situation exactly a year ago. so the sense is that a military response is going to be necessary to reinforce the point that president trump and others want to make about the

inappropriateness and complete intolerance of the international community for such attacks. what was really interesting i think is not just whether or not this is a pinprick strike or something more aggressive, but whether this is something the u.s. does alone or does in concert with other countries. france in the u.k. being the most obvious partners, but perhaps even a larger coalition. president trump may have an instinct to act unilaterally but as may be a good occasion to think about how the strength of the message and the power of the approach would be much stronger with another group of countries behind the u.s. >> julie: just explained to her viewers, a pinprick strike is what he did back in april. and clearly, it did not stop the assad regime from carrying this out again. so then you look at the next option which would be a multiple strike, hitting multiple airfields, perhaps hitting command centers led by russia and iran. but the big question is the risk because russia has said of the russian troops are in harm's

way, it will retaliate. and of the big question of all is will president from a shift from his goal of getting out of syria asap to a broader policy of constraining iran, russia, and assad? does he change his game plan here? because there's no contradiction between a multilateral strike against the use of chemical weapons and withdrawing troops that were fighting ices. i actually think this moment really underscores the lack of wisdom behind withdrawing at this particular point. combating and defeating isis and syria was never the benchmark of success for syria. that was necessary, but other things need to be done. defeating isis everyone knew was going to strengthen assad. so we are seeing that dynamic and we are recognizing that to bring stability to the region which is really the end game is going to require more american engagement probably rather than less.

i think we can expect some rethinking of the haste to withdraw troops that were fighting isis, but i think that these two pieces can actually move forward a little independently for the moment. >> julie: megan o'sullivan, thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us. we appreciate it. the 1 in to mix a surprising move in a trade with president trump. is beijing giving in?

>> jon: a breaking right now, china appears to offer an olive branch on tariffs. xi jinping is as is government will cut tariffs on auto imports this year for their offering up china's economy to the world. president warning against a cold war mentality. that's bring in our political panel. i'd like minutes former deputy assistant to president george w. bush. and michael starr hopkins is a democratic strategist and attorney.

thank you both of you for joining us this morning. michael, to you first. the president amid all of these worries about trade wars and so forth says he will reduce the tariffs that china charges for importing automobiles. if those tariffs can run 25%, even higher on big-ticket cars. how do you ss what he is doing? >> president xi is not a stupid man. he knows that president trump is in a very precarious position domestically and he is offering fig leaf to him. having a trade war is bad for both economies and this wasn't something either one of us want. >> jon: do you see this as president xi reaching out to offer a lifeboat to president trump jumpers or something else afoot? >> china got caught. china is a schoolyard bully who has been taking out lunch money and finally, we have a president who stands up to the bully. and you know who said it best? larry kudlow yesterday at the white house. china has a first world country to acting like a third world country. they are makers, takers, and

figures of our products and is got to stop. we finally have a president who's held them to task. and they blinked. and china is just the first country. there were other countries that we need to lean on now to make sure it's fair trade. >> i think that's a very good point but we need to work with trent on other issues like north korea. it becomes problematic when we start talking about trade wars and foreign policies. >> is about being fair. one thing has nothing to do with the other. china understands when they were a bad actor and when you call them out, they do the right thing. they're not going to do the right thing unless we are tough on them. >> jon: a statement from president xi jinping is all sweetness and light. he says in today's world, the big tide of peace and development is going forward. there is a wishes of people around the world. cold war thinking and zero-sum games are increasingly obsolete. there were guns or self-righteousness can only bump into walls at every turn only by sticking to peaceful development

and cooperation can we truly achieve win-win and multi-window. the fact they have a 25% tariff at all suggests that they are not exactly inviting the rest of the world to sell them products. >> i'm not here to say that we don't need to renegotiate some of our trade deals. that was kind of the purpose of the original negotiations of it. but now, we are here. we need to negotiate but do so in good faith. the one here is what president trump wrote via twitter. he said president xi and i will always be friend no matter what happens with our dispute on trade. china will take down his trade barriers because it is the right thing to do. the taxes will become reciprocal and adia will be made on intellectual property. a great future for both countries. and with that, the stock market up more than 400 points right now. >> friends don't take advantage of each other. we are not asking for something, we are not entitled to. but on the other hand, we are not a third world country. we are one of the greatest powers in the world and we don't

take advantage of people. but we should have people take advantage of us and i think china is a great example of the response now that we got from the president of china. we need to deal more laterally as a company with others instead of multilaterally. i think we have a president who understands that once and for all. we are part of a global network of countries. that's fine. but we don't do it to the detriment of our american jobs. >> jon: wall street is pretty good ad reading the political tea leaves in a like this development this morning. you both. >> julie: a fox news alert and following the announcement we told you about earlier about president trump canceling his trip to south america, defense secretary james mattis is following suit. announcing that he will not be traveling to nevada and san francisco as originally planned. he was at to go there this weekend according to pentagon officials. he is staying in washington as a

defense still plans on attending an event in new york thursday evening as scheduled. the number one agenda right now is to come up with a plan on what to do about syria and its recent chemical attack which killed over 40 innocent civilians there. the president saying he plans on acting swiftly and that no option is off the table. a decision will be made within days but not knowing when at this point. we will continue to watch that as it develops. meantime, the problem with immigration as president from pushes for better border security. some lawmakers say that is just simply not enough. we're going to take a closer look at the financial impact of immigration coming up next. >> people from the south of us do not have sound economies and if you don't fix the economic magnet, you'll never solve the immigration problem. so building a wall alone won't do anything.

you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.

>> julie: coming up on "outnumbered," the president is meeting with just moments from now and we are expecting to hear from the president on syria, a likely topic and he may speak more about the fbi raid on his personal attorney, a move he calls a disgrace and an attack on our nation. we will bring you all of his comments when they happen life. >> and a facebook ceos at this testify at capitol hill today. it will grow old mark zuckerberg on what he knew and when he knew it in the cambridge analytical data mining candle. does it even matter? we are going to discuss it. >> all that plus a very natural gas in the center seat. because stay tuned. >> julie: we have new information on the caravan of central american migrants drawing the anger of president trump.

the group stopping in mexico's capital city for just a few days, but the governors of texas, arizona, and new mexico have committed 1600 national guard members to the border. but some lawmakers argue their deployment is just the first step. >> defending soldiers to the border but you're not going to secure the border just by adding national guard troops. you have to go to the root cause of this. the caravans come from the triangle countries, honduras and guatemala because the conditions are so bad. if you don't have comprehensive immigration reform as it was american companies to hire, you have more labor available to american companies, you will never fix this problem. >> julie: our next guest discusses this in his book, outsourcing welfare. how the many immigrants sent home contributes to stability in developing countries. thank you so much for talking to us. first of all, let's just talk about lindsey graham's comments. basically, this is just the

beginning. the border patrol agents while good, not enough. is it just a band-aid? >> lindsey graham is one of the few sane people in the congress thinking about how to actually solve this issue and he looks at the issue of immigration from all sides. and he's right. we have to address the root causes of migration. people are not just leaving for the fun of it. they're leaving because they are experiencing desperate and violence down there. >> julie: he talked about the caravan countries, triangle countries like honduras and guatemala. hondurans are fleeing because the murder rate is skyrocketing. there's a san diego-based company that basically is now denouncing accusing president trump of using us. for the fact that now these national guard troops are being sent to the border. the president is not using the hondurans. he is using the national guard to protect our borders. >> i disagree a little bit. i think the president is using this issue. if you look at the data and edge looked at the border patrol data today, the migration rates of

illegal migration is at the 1971 levels, about one fifth of what it was at its peak in 1999 and 2000. so the rates are down actually. i think that he is using immigrants as a scapegoat right now. >> julie: why do you think the rates are down? >> i think because of fewer mexicans are coming to the fall and traditionally mexicans have been the biggest group that across the border. there has been tougher rhetoric coming from the president, and i think fewer people are coming for that reason. in mexico, the economy has tended to do better. those would be the bigger reasons. >> julie: attorney general jeff sessions just came out with a zero tolerance policy regarding illegal immigration and much of the focus was on mexico. some people believe the national guard troops are a waste of resources. what do you say? >> i agree. if you're really trying to solve the problem, it would be better to invest money in the countries where people are coming from. that's what my book is about a lot. a lot of people are motivated to come here not because they want

to settle down and plant roots in the united states but they're really here to earn money and send money back to their countries. money using for health care, food, education, the basic things people need in life. >> julie: outsourcing welfare, appreciate you coming here. thank you. >> jon: we are awaiting president trump as a host cutter at the white house among an ongoing diplomatic war between persian gulf nations. as we also with the president's response was suspected chemical weapons attack in syria. as a head on "outnumbered" ." hi i'm joan lunden.
