serious crime, on a pathway to citizenship and get to the root honduras and guatemala and el salvador so that people can find safety and opportunity at home instead of coming to the united states to seek it. >> i will make sure that number one, we end the i.c.e. policies and the customs and border policies that are violating the human rights. when people come to this country, they do not leave their human rights at the border. number two, i will make sure that we instate daca, that we reinstate pathways to citizenship for daca recipients and to make sure that people who are here on temporary protective status can stay and remain here. >> the way that american citizens have been told that immigrants somehow created their misery and their pain and their challenges, for all of the american citizens who peel you're falling behind, who feel the american dream is not working for you, the immigrants you.'t do that to you.

democrats in congress for not changing the asylum policy that he says has encouraged the migrant surge at the border. >> well, that's like what i've been saying. if they fix the laws you wouldn't have that. >> reporter: senate minority leader chuck schumer shot back. >> these are not drug dealers or vagrants or criminals. they are people simply fleeing a horrible situation in their home country. >> mr. boseman, aye. >> reporter: this afternoon, the senate passed a $4.6 billion humanitarian aid package for the border after rejecting a house measure. house speaker nancy pelosi called president trump saying there needs to be negotiations. the political posturing in d.c. doesn't change the reality at the border. >> 7-year-olds, 8-year-olds, 9-year-olds being told to care for children who are toddlers and infants. >> reporter: elora mukherjee is an attorney who recently toured custom and border protection's clint facility where hundreds of migrant children are being held.

>> reporter: now that's a remarkable thing. we've had a black president, but you think america is still not ready for a woman? >> i don't think we're ready for a female. >> one of the most important issues this election season is the high cost of health care. even when you have health insurance, the bills can come out of nowhere and be exceedingly high. mireya villarreal has the story of one mother who was blindsided by the cost of an emergency room visit. >> reporter: michelle mills remembers the day she rushed her son blake to the hospital after he broke his nose. >> on the way, i called admissions and said are y'all in network? and they said yes, we are. i said okay, i'm on my way. >> reporter: the jackson area hospital was in network, but the emergency room care was not. four months later, that cost mills an additional $1800. >> when you opened this bill, what was your first reaction? >> crap, i've got to pay that. >> reporter: nearly 65% of hospitals across the country use emergency rooms staffed by outside companies.
