over the city. you are watching "fox and friends first" on wednesday morning, thank you for starting the day with us. let's begin with that fox news alert. migrants at the nation's border demanding faster asylum proceedings and the end to all deportations, griff jenkins live on the ground in tijuana where officials are pleading for help on a humanitarian crisis. what is the latest? >> reporter: immigrants, 6000 of them are getting restless but so is the government of tijuana. the county official told us about the 5800 that are housed here, 200 more yesterday and he says they don't have the resources and organizers for what he calls something else.

>> the leaders that were promising the great american dream coming through, they are noticing that. >> it is costing the tijuana government $30,000 a day to house these migrants in the sports stadium but they issued a list of demands, they want to carry out deportations and speed up the asylum process and want the new government to help them with their plight. they want the names of those reporting already, 100 or more, 24 hour protection, i spoke to one of the migrants named louis and he says he's coming one way or the other. >> anyways the same. if i don't go, to do something bad i go to work. work is work.

here, there, anywhere. >> reporter: kiersten -- kirstjen neilsen says that's not a reason for asylum. >> 90% of those making asylum claims are not making a claim that can be honored under the statutory framework of the united states. it is not a valid reason for asylum. if you're coming to get a job that is not a claim for asylum. if you're coming to be with your family that's not a claim for asylum. >> reporter: officials say as many as 1000, 22000 are on their way today. shannon: heather: you were 10,000 ultimately last night. and back calls to support your the border by building a wall and closing the loophole. brit hume says the president

can't do it alone and congress needs to act now. >> the president says this all the time. if you don't have the border you don't have a country. that is indisputably true and his promise to halt the flow of illegal immigrants into the country is a perfectly reasonable thing to promise. you get into the question of whether we should have a better immigration policy to handle this attempt by people to get asylum we need that but he can't reset into being, that is the responsibility of congress which has been struggling with this issue for decades and has not been able to reach any compromise. >> little to no action on passing sweeping legislation, and you heard brit hume say congress has yet to overcome. the other big story donald trump tearing into the russia probe, say robert mueller has gone rogue.

fox news with the so-called perjury trap, washington responds. lots of development on this yesterday. >> if you thought the mueller probe faded away is back with a vengeance thanks to jerome corsi and what he knew about the wikileaks documents. perjury trap, completely rigged and politically driven by clinton operatives who have an agenda. if you can't give them what they need to fill their narrative they blow you up and charged with a crime. >> a torrent of tweets including the latest one, quote, the

mueller witchhunt is a total disgrace, >> the president had robert mueller doing his job for the last two years and could have taken action at any point and hasn't. he has no intent to do anything. >> reporter: this as senate republicans gauge support for a bill to protect the probe trying to defuse a fight with jeff flake who is holding up dozens of judicial nominees in an effort to keep the probe intact. this is getting more wild. i can't believe i just said that because it was wild to begin with. heather: we will talk about it

later. the future of the special counsel's probe will rest in the hands of the incoming attorney general and former us attorney joe did jennifer says the first order of business should be ending the investigation and firing the person overseeing it. >> the mueller investigation has failed utterly to produce evidence of collusion between the russian government and the trump campaign or donald trump himself. what they are doing is they are in spasms of vindictive prosecution, unethical prosecutions just to get somebody, to get something, to get close to the president. it is outrageous with one of the first things he should do, the new attorney general after being sworn in his have a meeting with mister mueller, find out what is going on, where he is going and when he is going to end. this investigation by mueller is unconstitutional, founded on no crime, it was created by rod rosenstein because he is a

gutless duplicitous failure of the deputy attorney general and the new attorney general should fire rosenstein asap. heather: democrats have been fighting the appointment of matthew whitaker feeling he will close the case on the russian collusion. back to politics the election, history is made. cindy hyde smith becomes the first woman from mississippi elected to congress with a republican senator previously appointed to the position won the seat for the next six years beating out mike espy in a runoff election, she is flying to washington this morning and we have a live report on her historic win coming up later in this hour. switching back to russia paul manafort firing back after reports surfaced he met with julian assange several times, sources telling the guardian the

two met in the ecuadorian embassy before wikileaks released democratic email stolen by russian intelligence officers which manafort says the report is, quote, totally false and deliberately libelous, it comes as the judge delays willing to unseal alleged us, charges against assange. the us is not confirmed or denied the charges and a report by the new york times revealed manafort has been giving donald trump's legal teams update on the mueller russia probe. much more on all this. ukraine is asking donald trump's help to deliver a message to vladimir putin. >> the situation has come. the russians will pay a huge price. >> reporter: the request comes

homeland security confirms all migrants seeking asylum are not qualified. >> 90% of those making asylum claims are not making the claim that can be honored under the statutory framework in the united states. if you're coming to get a job that is not a claim for asylum. if you're coming to meet your family that is not asylum. >> joining us with expert insight is author of the broken welcome mat, and immigration policy fellow at the centennial institute. thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. heather: let's look at this. there has been a steady rise in asylum applications according to the department of justice. you can look at the comparison between 2015 all the way to 2017. we heard what secretary kirstjen neilsen said does not qualify for asylum, just looking for a job or be with your family. what does qualify if you are seeking asylum in the united

states? >> according to the united nations definition asylum-seekers are people who are either being persecuted or feared to be persecuted based on political, religion or any other reason but economic reasons, poverty or violence, those things do not qualify for asylum-seekers. heather: if you take the latest group of migrants moving through mexico, they were offered asylum in mexico but they turned it down. is that an indication to you that they are concentrating just on the united states for reasons other than those you just gave? >> absolutely. the majority, only a tiny percentage of this group are qualified for traditional

definition of asylum seekers and most of them are economic migrants, not qualified for asylum and they know that too and they come to take advantage of the system, to get into the united states, take advantage of current federal law and once they get into the united states, it takes forever for their case to be processed. >> you say the asylum process is a mess, subject to abuse, what do we need to do to fix it? >> there's a lot of fraud and an industry to coach people who claim asylum with stories depending where they are coming from. we should do a couple things. this is the only channel, we do not have a quota. we will process as many as we can.

number 2 is currently asylum-seekers once they are approved need to qualify for work visas so we need to limit those benefits and the process is simple. many asylum-seekers go to court to approve their case and other legal immigrants have scrutinies so we probably have to increase more scrutiny about asylum claims. heather: thank you so much, we really appreciate your insights and we will follow it and see what happens. the time is 19 minutes after the top of the hour. history in mississippi, cindy hyde smith, the first woman elected to congress, and nancy

2019, 40% say she should become speaker. despite being the first woman to lead congress a majority of female respondents said she the liability for democrats. a lot of people on social media are weighing in. she has got donald trump's vote. margie says this is one poll that is's point is she is part of the swamp and she needs to go. the latest poll numbers are better than a poll released in august which had her at 73% of voters said she should not be house speaker but let's switch gears completely and talk about the long list of extreme roommate requirements. >> we heard about demanding roommates but this person may take the cake.

heather: a historic when overnight, cindy hyde smith becoming the first mississippi woman elected to congress.

leland that it is live in washington dc where republicans control the senate 53-47. >> reporter: good morning. by now by no means a filibuster proof majority but mitch mcconnell has a little more wiggle room on the closest of those which makes things like approving judicial nominees a lot easier. look at the race board, cindy hyde smith won by 8 points which is less than donald trump's 18 point victory in mississippi in 2016. he tweeted congratulations to cindy hyde smith on your big win in mississippi. we are all very proud of you. >> this win tonight, this victory is about our conservative values, the things that mean the most to all of us mississippians, faith, family, this is things i will take to washington dc, to represent all of mississippi, and our fight for it. every single day.

>> reporter: former clinton cabinet member, and earlier in the night easy best buy conceded earlier than expected. >> not the result we were hoping for. this historic campaign. i am grateful for the support we received across mississippi. >> if he invited me to a public hanging i would be in the front row, changing dynamic in the state but will serve to washington for the remaining two years of the senate seat left empty by the retirement of ailing senator cochran. heather: thank you so much. some other stories we are

heather: let's bring out his statement, and other things. >> mister manafort does not have a lot of credibility at the moment but the timing of this is interesting because he has been cooperating, the mueller team taking back the cooperation and benefits he would have gotten. lou: did the plea agreement, the timing of the guardian report is interesting, new york times article, the manafort legal team is sharing information. it is not illegal but it is something that would make a prosecutor irritated and angry no doubt because in essence sharing information about what the mueller team was looking

into, the timing of this is interesting. jerome corsi has come to the forefront talking about how he has been treated by the mueller team. >> he felt the mueller team is trying to force him to lie. >> saying i couldn't give them what they wanted so they are accusing him of lying. those are concrete examples that are fueling these tweets talking about the witchhunt and the way people are treated. we have the manafort issue coming out, the corsi issue coming out. heather: you can't forget general flynn and george papadopoulos accused of giving false statements. heather: he tried to take back his deal before going to wisconsin federal prison this week. this is what trump is talking about, calling the witchhunt and getting into concrete examples of how people are saying they

have been treated. heather: if you don't give the mueller team the information they need, then you are accused of lying and run into all this trouble. >> especially when we are talking about the trump campaign because that is what manafort could have delivered. if he was a valuable witness to mueller's team it is hard to believe they would take the deal back. if there was a rift it probably happened when they learned they were exchanging information with the trump legal team and relied on misrepresentation or lies to get out of the deal. we will know more about that because the government will have to show they are acting in good faith to reach this plea deal and the judge will get information on this allegation to determine if they can take the cooperation view away and sentenced paul manafort. heather: requested a sentencing date.

heather: paul manafort signed up for 10 years, up to 17.5 years is what is at play. if he has the plea he could go to jail for a long time on two counts of this, not to mention eight count in virginia. heather: julian assange has denied the meeting ever happened as well with paul manafort. >> he has. there was news out of virginia of an indictment against julian assange. the corsi stone assange manafort thing starting to come together a little bit and seeing this more clearly. heather: a lot more on that throughout the day. thank you, appreciate it. lots to break down. fox news alert, the deadliest day for us forces in afghanistan this year, three servicemembers killed, three others wounded. a grim shadow cast over the 17
