2:55 am
>> carley: pat fallon introduced the bill to make that happen and texas governor austin pfluger supported it. they join us now. the lone star reimbursement act. tell us about it. >> we share in texas a 1254-mile border with mexico. in march of 2021, governor abbott, due to operation lone star which was the federal government has abdicated responsibility to secure the border. so texas has stepped up. i spent eight years in the texas legislature and where the federal government lacked and let the mexican drug cartels run wild, the state of texas filled that gap. and it cost $1.4 billion. so texas shouldn't be disproportionately punished because joe biden has made every state a border state. so this bill would reimburse texas justly for the expense of doing the federal government's work. >> congressman pfluger this goes
2:56 am
to you, what's the biggest issue? obviously it's kind of a group issue here. you have got the drug crisis. you have got the low morale and the low agent numbers. border agent numbers. what would the majority of this money go to to really help you guys see some relief? >> well, i'm proud to join with congressman fallon on this because the administration has aren't indicated their responsibility. governor abbott has sent texas national guardsmen down there. all in all their encounters and rejections and apprehensions have it totaled 200,000 illegal immigrants. it two reimburse their expenses, their lodging, their operations. i mean, everything it takes for them to deploy down to the southern border and do something that is not their primary duty. let's be clear. this is not going to fix the issue. >> the biden administration has to do it. they don't have the political will. you heard mayra flores speaking about the border. and texas voters have spoken loud and clear when they elected
2:57 am
her because they are sick and tired of the biden administration not doing their job and protecting our communities in texas. >> carley: congressman fallon, when it comes to border security it's all about national security. border patrol agents have already apprehended 50 people on the terror watch list trying to sneak into our country at the same time there are 440,000 known got-aways. 440,000 people in our country right now and don't know what their intentions are it feels like a ticking time bomb, what do we do about it. >> absolutely right. it worse in april it 200,000 illegal border encounters. may numbers came in and it was almost 240,000 which is now the worst that we have had in history. since joe biden has been in office, there has been if you can count the got-aways and illegal encounters 3.3 million. this is not a border crisis, this is a border catastrophe. what we need to do is
2:58 am
reimplement trump era policies which is the wait in mexico. if you claim asylum you will wait in mexico while your claim is adjudicated. build the wall and deport particularly criminal elements back to their home countries. >> ashley: congressman pfluger why do you think it is that the biden administration completely refuses to secure the border because when you have the border czar kamala harris nowhere in sight and when she does speak to america and to the people, it's not about the border and she is supposed to have control over this. what do you think it is because it doesn't seem like it's doing them any favors but it seems like they think it is in some odd way. >> well, you are absolutely right. it's not doing anybody any favors. it's making our communities less secure. we had 100 plus thousand deaths from fentanyl. you know, small towns are completely overwhelmed. law enforcement is having to do the job of what the administration should be doing.
2:59 am
you know, our gratitude goes to the border patrol agents who are put in a terrible situation and actually having to do more administrative work. it's hard to say why. but what we do know it's crisis after crisis after crisis president joe biden has led us into these crises the american public is going to speak loud and clear in november just like they did with mayra flores election this past week. >> carley: congressman fallon president biden's approval rating with the ripper community is # 6%. mention mayra flores she flipped that historically blue district red. a lot of this does have to do with the border issue. do you think that the democrats will change it calculus on this once they realize it's not working with the hispanic voter. >> they will probably do that after the november elections. they keep doubling down on leftist policies that don't work. i will tell you something, people in texas are tired of it as my good friend august pfluger
3:00 am
said particularly on the border when you see ryan gee an, i was in the state house with ryan gean. state rep changed parties now he is our republican nominee because he is sick of the chaos, the cartels, the corruption and the crime it. >> carley: congressman, we have got to leave it there "fox & friends" is starting in just a few seconds. it's actually starting right thought. ♪ >> this is a time of war. >> president biden is now calling this a, quote, time of war. >> issuing a war footing edict that all companies to bring lower their brices. >> bring down the price you are charging at the pump, do it now. >> meanwhile the head of the federal reserve directly contradicting the president about the main driver behind inflation. >> would you say that the war in ukraine is the primary driver. >> no, it was high before. >> expressing outrage over punishing border agents accused of whipping migrants despite being cle
