>> he is so focused on himself. his own pursuit of unchecked power that he does not have time to think about you or your issues for you or your problems. because of team trump has the best ground game in the business now and our team has been out there on the ground focusing on registering voters and turning out voters for months doing the hard work and we are seeing at payoff in the early voting returns. >> john: campaigns kicking into overdrive eight days after the election. vice president harris rallies and blue all michigan and trump appears to speak to voters in battleground georgia. welcome back. america reports rolls into the second hour i'm john roberts in washington. this is at. the final full week of the campaign. >> sandra: you can feel the excitement peered i am sandra smith in new york. the battleground fits these next few days as vice presidential

candidate field zero in on wisconsin, it could be key to winning the election. fox team coverage kicks off coverage. we are bring down the campaign moves in the final stretch. we are in wisconsin on what voters could expect to hear from the vp candidates. >> john: to bill melugin. what's up in georgia? >> former president trump is on his way to georgia right now. he is coming from new york city where he had the huge rally at madison square garden last night. here in atlanta he is scheduled to have a rally at around 6:00 p.m. and trump has said he is really liking the early voting numbers he has seen from republicans and this morning on fox the chairman of the rnc said republicans are feeling great about where they are with eight days left to go. >> we see a very strong early vote turnout. we see strong in the absentee ballots across the country right now. we are way ahead of where we were in 2016 or 2020.

right now when you combine the early vote and the absentee votes we will have an outright win in north carolina going into election day the same thing in nevada and same thing in ari arizona. >> and georgia is other key battle state that they are looking to win. polling showed that the race here is neck and neck. the most recent poll last week shows that this is a dead even race here with both candidates tied at 49% but some democrats say they feel the polling may be a little skewed. >> i think you see the breadcrumbs and the pieces that are being put together by the republican party right now. even the way they are dropping polls. the number of poles. the way that they are trying to outnumber republican skewed polls. and again, former president trump scheduled to speak here in atlanta about four hours from now. 6:00 p.m. eastern. once he has done here, he will be traveling tomorrow to

pennsylvania and north carolina. north carolina state he has been hitting very hard. he had for campaign events there last week alone. we were at a handful of them and what he is hitting hard is what he sees as a failed federal response to hurricane helene and the ongoing recovery efforts. back to you guys. >> john: bill melugin for us in atlanta. my former home. let's take a drive on the touchscreen and hopefully i won't put this thing into a ditch because we want to take a look at the state of georgia specifically with the early male and vote. here's what we have so far. 2,007,091 people have voted early so far. that compares with the total vote in 2020 of 4,999,960. so that figure represents more than 50% of the people who voted four years ago. george is off to a great start. brad raffensperger who is of course the secretary of state down there has been saying it is record early voting.

let's take a look at who has been voting and that is why voters, 45% of them have cast votes. 23% of hispanics have also casted an early vote and take a look at that spirit women comprise 55.7% of the people who have voted so far. this is a very important number because kamala harris leads by a substantial margin ahead of donald trump and women. we can imagine that the great percentage of women who have voted so far have voted for trump but also trump leads by similar number among men so the majority of this vote has gone to trump. but women will decide this election and in terms of early voting so far women have the lead and georgia. back to you. >> sandra: that is something we will watch all the way up to election day and throughout it. thank you john. good stuff. meanwhile both campaigns putting a strong focus on the battleground state of wisconsin this week. today both vice presidential candidates will be campaigning there and harris and trump will

also be there on wednesday. rich edson is in madison, wisconsin, for us right now. a busy day for the running mates there. >> sure is. you have both vice presidential candidates campaigning in wisconsin today and later this evening in madison a couple of progressive stars for the harris campaign but first to the vps senator j.d. vance has been doing a couple of events here in wausau and racine. minnesota governor tim maltz has a couple of campaign stops in state as well. he just rapped at the wisconsin aluminum foundry company. the harris campaign is trying to slow the erosion of blue-collar workers for the democratic party. >> i come here as a neighbor from you from the iron range to packer land we all know we are united around the dignity and the pride of working people. union members peered calmly harris and i have a plan to build the american industrial strength powered by american workers.

speaker robert f. kennedy jr. and former representative tulsi gabbard are here. vice president harris rallies on wednesday and former president trump campaigns in green bay with former packers quarterback brett favre. tonight it is the progressives in a progressive town. senator bernie sanders, represented of alexandria because you cortez will rally and wisconsin. he told the associated press that harris needs to start addressing working-class people and there are a lot more working class people who could vote for kamala harris then there are conservative republicans. harris has moved to the center from her previously progressive positions on immigration, the border, and energy. president biden won wisconsin with less than one percentage point. polls close at 9:00 p.m. eastern on election night but voting is underway here. more than 850,000 ballots have been returned peered evenly split between male and ballots and early and person voting. >> sandra: rich edson. thank you very much. >> john: let's bring in

mollie hemingway, editor and chief at the federalist and fox news contributor. let's look at the latest polling in georgia and michigan. michigan first of all this is quinnipiac. harris leads. but other polls show trump in the lead. this was about two weeks ago. it showed it trump with a 52-46 lead over harris. the election is too close to call up but any indication that georgia could likely go trump's way? we don't know how michigan will go. >> of the seven battle ground states, georgia is the one in the clear politics average trump has the biggest lead which is just over two points, i think. that one is looking good. michigan is very close with one-tenth of 1% of the lead for donald trump. when you are dealing with numbers that small it will come down to how the election is administered and who comes out to vote. >> john: look at 2020. 11,729 votes that got joe biden georgia and you have the brian kemp political machine fully behind trump.

look at the early voting numbers. >> but you have a bunch of news that democrats have made in the last few years that has helped with their get out the vote operations. joe biden issued the executive order in march of 2017 to having federal agencies get involved in get out the vote operations. you have the department of education now all over college campuses trying to drum up votes for kamala harris and you have overseas ballots that will be returned at rates that i think will be much higher-than-expected thanks to the state department and other entities. that's why election administration matters a lot as well. >> john: the early vote is going much more in the republican's direction at data four years ago or four years prior to that but still they are expecting a big election day turn out as well. wanted to switch to michigan for a second because we have seen barack obama on the campaign trail for a couple of weeks for harris. michelle obama got out there and again seems to follow her husband's lead in scolding black men that they need to vote democrat. listen to this. >> to anyone out there thinking

about sitting out the selection or voting for donald trump or a third party candidate in protest because you are fed up? let me warn you. your rage does not exist in a vacuum. if we don't get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage to your rage. >> john: what you make of that. your wife, daughter, mother, we as women will become collateral damage to your rage. it's like get over your anger and make sure you vote democrat. is that going to convince anybody? >> earlier you were talking about how women are key to democrat electoral success and you are right that women, particularly single women whether they are in cities or suburbs are voting much more for kamala harris than for donald trump. you have exactly the opposite situation with men who have been driven away from the democrat party by sometimes shocking numbers. there is a 14-point switch and young men toward trump since the last election.

you have higher rates of black men, higher rates of hispanic men and i am not a man but i cannot imagine that having a really angry hectoring speech. >> john: this is 2020 for america. you could be if you like. >> i can't imagine this will be persuasive to these men that have already felt that they are not welcome in the democratic party and the democrat party views them as toxic or evil. >> john: lawrence jones, barbershop series was really telling. black men look at what happened with the earning power in the trump administration appeared was up 12.7%. only at 1% in the biden-harris administration and they want to put food on the table and be able to afford the things they want and take care of their families. >> that was so interesting about, list super pac screaming at "new york times" please tell kamala harris and those surrogates the media to stop calling trump a fascist and focus on policies. people are making rational decisions to vote for trump and the emotional blackmail or hateful rhetoric won't move the needle for kamala harris in the

way that she wants. >> john: i don't know who that appeals to. maybe they can tweak something around the margins by calling him a fascist or a dictator but it won't change a lot of minds. i want to show the contrast over a football between the trump add. let's watch a little bit of t that. >> make america great again. greater than ever before. i will fight for you with every breath and i will never let you down. >> john: that aired during the eagles and bengals game in the meantime tim at walz and aoc were doing this. >> that was tricky. i would like to say that i thought you were going to but i got pure luck there. that was absolute luck. i appreciate your boldness. >> i play like i govern, governor. >> john: you are trying to reach male voters peered which

one works. speak of the best news for the, cameron's campaign is very few people watched tim walz and aoc doing a spirit he did have a tweet out that said -- it used in accurate football jargon to talk about what they were doing. he said aoc ran a great pick six and he was calling audibles on madden. neither of these things are actually an accurate way to talk about madden or football. so people wonder if kamala harris ever worked at a mcdonald's and they are definitely wondering if he ever coached football team. >> john: we saw him try to put shells in a shotgun. didn't work very well. >> he is being headed for good, good reason. >> john: thank you so much. we have the head and vice presidential nominee and the hidden president. did it kamala and the obama's are out there on the campaign? >> sandra: that's a busy week with eight days to go. interesting stuff. we will keep watching all of it as we plan to see some of those candidates a short time from now. now this. >> of these 45 burglars and thieves who came here to steal,

41 out of the 45 are not u.s. citizens. and they are here illegally. >> sandra: concern is growing. dozens of illegal migrants are arrested for eluding after back-to-back hurricanes in florida. how is the state going to fight back against these crimes? we will ask florida attorney general who will join us coming up. spoon both presidential campaigns putting a strong focus on pennsylvania. how could young voters impact the results? two penn state students on different sides of the aisle are hoping to increase turnout with their peers. they join us coming up next. it was so beyond the feeling of anxiety or of overwhelm. i just fell to my knees and i just said, god, you have to take this. and that was the one of the first times in a few months that i opened a hallow. i surrendered everything to jesus. and i heard clearly these words.

>> i really right now want to

speak to the young leaders who are here. it is gen z in the house? >> we give a really special hello to penn state. we love penn state. and i am thrilled to be here. the home of the nittany lions with thousands of proud hardworking american patriots good you are very special. >> sandra: vice president harris and former president trump reaching out to the younger voting groups in pennsylvania over the weekend. this year there are 41 million gen zers who are eligible to vote and after the tipping the scales of the election. two are coming together to encourage their peers to go out and cast your ballots. let's bring in our panel ryan klein, president of pending state college republicans and babe arch arcus, college of penn state democrats. thank you for joining us. you are starting political science and history.

you have decided to how you are going to vote. tell us what you choose to share about that and what the top issues are for you. >> thank you for having us and i'm voting for president trump this november and i think for me it is based on the economy peered rent is up 22%, gasoline has never been higher. you have a lot of inflationary policy that has been coming out of the biden-harris administration. there is a lot of reckless spending and the border is wide open and i think seeing these issues and seeing the public safety concerns and the sky high cost of living, i'm voting for donald trump because he will reverse those negative trends. >> sandra: thank you for that. you are 21. your birthday habits to be on election day so happy early birthday to you. you're a triple major and poly side, french, and russian. i'm sure many find that interesting for you a busy guy. you plan on voting election day. you have decided on your vote. share with us what you choose and with the issues are for you. >> again, thank you for having me. i would be glad to be casting my

vote for kamala harris on the 5th of november, my birthday. it would be the first president i get to vote for. i will be glad to vote for kamala harris because i think she is a person who believes that change is real and needs to be tackled. i support her on reproductive rights, on putting students first. i think on the economy, she will be building an economy that works for the working class and i look forward to seeing her succeed in her for years. >> sandra: as i take this back to you, you say the economy is number one for you but the border is also important to you. you believe it has been mishandled. clearly you see donald trump as the one to handle this issue better? >> absolutely peered under president trump, specifically with immigration, he built the wall at the southern border and you had a record low people crossing the border illegally whereas under kamala harris, she has been the border czar for three and half years and you have seen sky high immigration numbers and with that you've seen crime in inner cities. i'm someone who wants to move to an inner city after i graduate

college and i'm deeply concerned about public safety down there because you have so many illegal migrants who are causing crime. there's a lot of issues where there's drugs on the streets and i think that donald trump is going to bring back law and order and he will close the southern border which is something we desperately need. >> sandra: i heard you talk about education, abortion, issues important to you. you also say that climate change, you believe is the most important issue by far because it involves the survival of the human race. explain. >> i think climate scientists have been of one voice about this for the past decade peered climate change is real, climate change is closed by humans and it cannot be remedied except through human intervention. we need a government that not only works by itself but works with private industry in order to tackle the issue. i want to have children, i went have have grand chiller, i want to make sure my children and grandchildren live in a nice and peaceful world and i want to make sure that they get to live in a world where anyone a matter where they grew up in, no matter

from where they come from is able to enjoy the fruits of the place that they grew up in an unfortunately climate change is going to make that impossible for hundreds of millions and billions of people and it will cause a lot of damage and a lot of destruction and a lot of pain for hundreds of millions of people in the planet and i don't want that to happen and i think we need to do more to stop that. i see in kamala harris a candidate who understands that climate change is an issue, understands that we need to work together to remedy it. >> sandra: interesting stuff. now let's deal with what we know so far that we are hearing from voters. this is research on the number of registered voters. the percent of them who are democrat or lean democrat in your age group 18-24, 66% lean down, 34% lean republican. just get a little bit older and the numbers for those who lean democrat drop and those who lean republican drop as well. eight states already have more

youth registered voters to vote as of september 2024 than they did in november of 2020. you can put the map up here and this is showing states that have more youth ages 18-29 registered to vote this time around than four years ago. let's finish up by ryan, what are you hearing from your peers on the ground to their? when you step outside of your republican circles there. what are you hearing from people? what energizes them? >> speaking to young people, i think the economy is something that really does resonate with them because ultimately whether you are a year out from graduating or couple years out, you are going to be going into the workforce preview will get a job and when prices are so high, that will make life unaffordable and it will make your life even harder. people don't want to be stuck renting for ever and they don't want to be stuck in inner cities. they want to have a home, have a family and that is something not possible. president trump was on campus this past weekend and it was great to see so many young people energized and engaged

with the political process peered they wanted to hear president trump's message and i think he delivered it really well to a young audience which is something that both parties are trying to go after. >> sandra: do you sense there's any common ground found in your age group? >> a lot of people are concerned about the economy. a lot of people will be graduating this university with a lot of debt. and they are concerned about how they will have to pay in an economy that looks more and more challenging for people. i think a lot of people are concerned about how the two candidates are going to deal with the consequences of exploding cost of education. >> sandra: very interesting stuff. thank you to you both. we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. best to you both and election day is coming soon. >> john: both presidential candidates campaigning and battleground states today peered former president trump and georgia and vice president harris in michigan. we will bring you updates from both places. >> i would like to begin by asking a very simple question.

are you better off now than you were four years ago? >> sandra: former president trump hitting the biden-harris administration's economy last night at madison square garden. a new study revealing more americans are living paycheck to paycheck now than they were just five years ago. rachel cruise personal finance expert and cohost of the ramsey show joins us to discuss next.

so, you know, han is 22 years old, and we've been together most of my life. not often do you have a childhood dog that, that lives this long so i think it's really unique and special that we've experienced so many, so many things in life together. knowing that he's getting good nutrition and that he has energy is a huge relief for me and my dad. “such a good little bean.” we're so grateful to have had this time with him, so let's keep it going and make every day special. ok guys, instead of getting weathertech, i saved a few bucks and got some cheap, foreign made floor mats.

but they really stink, so put these on. ♪ really, gary? mom, i'm thirsty. don't settle for cheap, stinky floor mats. at weathertech we make our floorliners and cargo liners here in america, out of pure non-toxic american materials. dad, next time get weathertech. they don't stink! i'm on it. find out everything we have at wt.com.

>> sandra: all right. vp harris on the ground and battleground michigan today. she's expected to highlight manufacturing jobs but the numbers show there may not be much to boast about their peer to fox business' madison alworth is here. how many manufacturing jobs has the u.s. lost in total under this presidency? >> we will get to those numbers and in the battleground states it is worse than the national average but harris is making that pitch and michigan today. highlighting the growth there.

but the data shows there isn't much to celebrate. taking a look the biden-harris economy lost 34,000 manufacturing jobs in the months of august and september. harris spent time today at a semiconductor factory that the campaign said it is set to create 1,300 manufacturing jobs. thanks to funding that they received from the chips act and the inflation reduction act. but that does not come close to making up for the losses that michigan has seen. the battleground state has lost over 13,000 manufacturing jobs since just last year. another battleground state, georgia, were trumpets today, has lost 3,100 manufacturing jobs since july. trump made his manufacturing picked at madison square garden promising to bring it back to u.s. by offering incentives like tax rates to companies that build here. >> these companies don't make their products here, they will pay a very stiff tariff when

they send their products into the united states for their privilege of competing with our workers and our now protected companies. we will protect our companies. they are not leaving anymore. >> acting secretary julie su said the white house has more work to do when it comes to creating the manufacturing jobs. but that is manufacturing facilities across the country and it takes time. >> sandra: thank you. john. >> john: cohost of the ramsey show joins us now. this is the bank of america institute survey. found that more americans are living paycheck to paycheck than they were five years ago. here's what they found. 26% of people have necessary expenses that are graver than 95% of the take-home pay and 30e than 90% on staples such as groceries, housing, utilities, gas, or child care. those numbers. 10% higher than they were in

2019. >> and we are seeing it with everyday americans. on the ramsey show people are calling it and we are hearing the paycheck to paycheck living is so consistent across the board. what i always advise is to empower people, control what you can control. whether it is the income side of your money coming in, getting a side hustle, doing what you can there but your expenses is where people are feeling it and that is where you have to be so, so purposeful with your income. making a detailed zero-based budget is so important to know where your income is going because we are feeling the inflation everywhere and you need to be that much more intentional with your money. >> john: over the last couple years consumers basically saw their dollars floating away as inflation increased which plays right into this long add that donald trump aired last night during the eagles and bengals game. here's a part of it. >> when i left office, it changed. inflation destroyed the lives of so many people.

interest rates went from 2% to 10%. >> john: the combination of inflation and interest rates going up and then insurance would cost more, everything was costing more. no wonder that people are looking at their paycheck at the end of the week and saying there is nothing left for me. >> that's right. they are definitely feeling it so what you have to look at is to say what can i do now because we are also seeing that is on the rise. the average car payment on a new car is close to $700 a month now. credit card debt is at an all-time high with $1.17 trillion. so what you can do and what we teach all the time is to free up as much of your income as possible. getting out of debt is a great step for americans which i know can feel so impossible when you can barely make ends meet but the key here is people are sacrificing for two to three years of their life getting side hustles and getting extra income and cutting everything. cutting subscriptions, cutting restaurants, and focusing on

food, shelter, utilities, transportation. and making a lifestyle switch in order to get their head above water and have a firm foundation financially. that's what getting out of debt does. it frees that margin and that is what americans can control in their own lives when it is so difficult out there. >> john: it frees out a lot but they getting out of debt part the difficult part. you wonder who is most affected by this. lower income people get affected by it more about people making more money do as well and then you look at groups. this is weird. gen z is a group that is actually having an easier time with money. they are not living paycheck to paycheck as much as they did five years ago but every other group, younger millennials, old or millennials, gen xers and baby boomers, all more than they did five years ago. living paycheck to paycheck. i went to the grocery store yesterday and i'm glad they make the little shopping carts, not the big ones because just filling up the top basket on the shopping cart, i didn't get

anything expensive. it included ramen noodles for my 13-year-old daughter and it was $87. >> i know. and that's what's so hard. americans are doing what they can to get by on the hard thing is we can't control grocery prices, we can't control the interest rates. the hard part is it is a mind shift that has to occur and that is what we hear from people that are for the first time ever really budgeting and cutting costs and doing what they can to control what they can control and that is the hope that i pray people feel. you have the ability to change your life and your money and it's really difficult and sadly it is harder today than it was four years ago but we have to be able to put ourselves in a position to say what can we do with our income to get us forward and that is the hope i want people to have because it can feel so hopeless but if you are hopeless and you sit there and you keep doing what you have been doing you will keep getting what you have been getting so something needs to change and even though it is difficult and it is a sacrifice, i'm telling

you it is empowering when you finally say regardless of who gets in november, what i can do for my own home, for everyday americans, what will i choose to do. and we see it. we see with millions of people every single day. they are doing it but it's hard. it is so difficult. >> john: a stunning statistic a days out from the election. rachel cruz, great to catch up with you. >> good to see you. thank you for having me. >> sandra: 45 alleged looters are facing charges in a florida county following the devastation from hurricane helene and milton. the shocking number of them that are in the u.s. illegally. >> john: florida a timely general ashley moody coming up next. >> the epitome of people trying to exploit others when they are down and they are out and they are trying to rebuild and they have nothing.

i try to put my arm around any vet that i can. absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. here's an important benefit for veteran homeowners who need cash. you can take out $70,000 or more with the newday 100 va cash out loan. with home values still close to all-time highs,

now's the time to turn your home equity into cash. rates on credit cards and car loans have skyrocketed. pay off those high rate cards and costly car and truck loans and save hundreds of dollars a month, thousands a year. need cash? call newday usa. every day my patients do tell me how much they love medicare advantage. they love that they get more benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and rides to appointments. they tell me they pay less out of pocket for everyday expenses like their prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, doctor's visits. with medicare advantage, they get more for less. and i found it's made a really big impact.

>> sandra: local authorities and a florida county claimed nearly all of the looting suspects breaking and entering following hurricanes helene and milton are here in the u.s. illegally. let's bring in a florida attorney general ashley moody. thank you very much. attorney general, what exactly are we learning about these people involved in these crimes? >> it is a gut punch to law enforcement who is working

so hard around the clock to help their communities rebuild and protect and many of these areas in this one specific county you are referring to that has been the hardest hit from hurricane helene and hurricane milton, the sheriff announced that it wasn't just the ones that they arrested for eluding related crimes. from robbery, burglary, trespassing. those related crimes. even almost 200 others that they couldn't get probable cause on to arrest, they knew were up to no good. they didn't arrest them and most of those were here illegally. it is a challenge to a state like ours where we are committed. we are a law and order state and we will protect our communities. we have instituted extra proposals. we call them anti-looting patrols in the wake of hurricanes. to be faced with this really avoidable issue of having people here committing crimes if it weren't for these disastrous policies coming out of washington of pushing more and more barely voted people into

the country and one of the first policies when they first took office by office biden and harris was to stop deporting even those that were arresting for serious felonies. you are left with the aftermath of you are in the middle of the aftermath of a hurricane and now you are dealing with people here illegally taking advantage of your citizens. >> sandra: a gut punch for sure and this year if you just mentioned detailing what a big problem this is. listen here. >> of these 44 burglars and thieves who came here to steal, 41 out of the 45 are not u.s. citizens. and they are here illegally from mexico, cuba, columbia, honduras, venezuela, and other countries but a lot of the people here doing this stuff are here illegally and they are swarming in and it is a big problem. >> sandra: it's a big problem and in the wake of the hurricanes obviously but it highlights a bigger problem that the state has to deal with longer term.

i want to put up on the screen the total cost of illegal immigration in your estate in 2023 it topped $8 billion. they say it averages about $1,000 a household. how do you get a grip on this? >> this is a prime example of what i've been saying since biden and harris took office. they are enacting these policies that are really need capping our efforts to provide a stable and secure state. florida, we will step up our game and we will commit more resources as you know we have been very focused on making sure law enforcement is supported and has extra resources but it's not just education and health care that take a hit when we are taking this voluminous influx of people from other countries into the united states. the criminal justice system is overwhelmed, especially when we are seeing time and time again by those that are committing crimes here that are here illegally, those that have been let in on the terrorist watch

list for the criminal justice system is taking hit after hit and the biden-harris administration is expecting state and local authorities to just step in and take care of it but they are really just undercutting our ability to protect our citizens. today is national first responders day and a great way to recognize that and support that would be a gift to state and local officers by enacting good policies out of washington. that would be a great gift on this national first responders day. >> sandra: we are not just talking about looting's stores that were abandoned in the wake of the hurricane. we are talking other headlines that are out there. three illegal migrants nabbed in florida for sexually assaulting a child. a group of illegal immigrants stole nearly $2 million in property across florida. and another fox 13 article immigrants are arrested for burglary spree. it's a lot to deal with. attorney general we appreciate you coming on. thank you.

migrant crisis according to the mayor's office. i asked them how much they are spending just on these return flights back to texas and also what this means for tracking these migrants especially those who have notices to appear. in 2022 as we have all seen these videos and pictures before, texas governor greg abbott started busing more than 119,000 migrants on charter buses to sanctuary cities. new york mayor new york adams office say through the voluntary reticketing they have but one wm new york city. the top destinations where migrants are being sent back to is here in texas at number one with roughly 3500 tickets issued and florida, new york, and colorado. mayor eric adams said famously back in 2021 when he was running for office that new york city will remain a sanctuary city

under adams administration. i asked his office whether this is a shift in his values and i asked if it took the actions from governor abbott to highlight these challenges and bring attention to the issues. we are waiting to hear back from his office but i want to share the statement with you from governor abbott's office that his people said hypocritical mayor adams that said busing migrants is morally bankrupt while harris called a transporting migrants political theater and they are doing the same thing themselves. a spokesperson for mayor eric adams office tells me that most of the tickets they are sending people back to texas our standard plane tickets but in some of the cases they are sending people back by bus but not a case of those chartered buses just the standard flights and a buses but as i mentioned at the top of this there are still so many questions right now like how much they are spending just on these tickets and again we have seen a huge

problem about being able to track the migrants who have those notices to appear and we are still waiting to find out how they will exactly tackle that issue. >> john: probably cheaper than keeping them there in new york city but we will see what governor abbott does when he gets a hold of everybody. maybe he will send them right back. brooke taylor for us. thank you. folks get moved around all over the place, sandra, and they have to a large degree become political football's but here's the thing cured what you do with them? federal government let them in the country and now it is the states that have to pick up the tab for them. >> sandra: don't underestimate how big of an issue it is for voters in the upcoming election. we saw in the primary season and we could see it again. a top issue for those states and those voters so far from the southern border and obviously you can look at some of those southern states like florida dealing with what they are saying $1,000 more for a household in florida to pay for this. the migrants that have come to
