jeff sessions came out monday and made this announcement. we can take this list of transnational organized crime threats in order of significance, ms 13 at the top of this list. do you agree with this? >> yes i do. it is a serious threat from ms 13 for a number of reasons. they are terrorizing the neighborhoods in which they are operating. of transnational criminal organization run by people in el salvador. probably tens of thousands of members of ms 13 with thousand living in the united states. they are able to wield influence through violence and savagery for the sake of savagery and the concerning thing with ms 13 is they are able to replenish their

ranks because of the porous border. law enforcement agencies have done a lot to address ms 13 but they are treading water when we continue to allow these vulnerabilities in immigration policies that let people come straining in from central america and our agencies are overwhelmed and the gang members -- bill: we will get to that in terms of the wall but once they are already in the united states, he announced a new group which would be a transnational organized crime task force led by deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and it is something when you think about jeff sessions saying ms 13 is surpassing drug cartels and terrorist group like hezbollah. >> part of the reason is they are able to operate with

impunity in many areas, sanctuary jurisdictions that look the other way at the fact so many members of ms 13 are in the country illegally. my research has shown the vast majority are here illegally by studying the arrest records was a intimate the people in the communities, extort them, they pay dues back to the organization and el salvador, the crooks help each other out and they operate through violence. that is why they are a problem. heather: in terms of the border wall, whether we need the border wall. listen to what this individual said for the obama campaign. >> we are talking illegal immigration and illegal

migration problem. our policies are the problem, that is enticing them to come and we have to change those policies. shannon: heather: they stay in disappearance the country. we appreciate you joining us. the time is 18 after the top of the hour. taking a page out of donald trump's playbook. >> dishonest, that is why the president call him lying ted and the nickname stuck, because it is true. >> congressman o'rourke sides with liberal extremists on the national level. >> the heated debate between ted cruz and his democratic opponent. another conservative censored, jackie ibanez is he with veteran going to war with facebook over his right to free speech. . ♪ young, into my teens and when i went into college and played college tennis, i could play all day long and never get tired.
