i would love for somebody to interview alejandro mayorkas, and seo -- how do you explain this comparee are seeing right now? >> and as we talk about fentanyl, we have hearings to reclassify it. kayleigh, talk to me about how the democrats and those on the liberal left are screaming that this is rooted in racism when we know that americans struggle to put food on the table in this last administration, and as carly articulated, illegal immigrants enjoyed plane flights, five-star hotels in the city, so much more. it has nothing to do with racism: it has to do with putting on your oxygen mask before you put the mask on others. >> you think about the social security trust fund and how it is set to run out at some point. you think about all the young people who are paying into a system they may never take from, and then you hear these immigrants, illegal immigrants, getting benefits. there is a 1996 federal law that is supposed to ban illegal immigrants from getting federal benefits. but there is an exception. if you are paroled into the country, you become a qualified alien recan get these

oh, alejandro mayorkas, the guy who sat behind his desk and barely visited the border? loser. you've got secretary noem, she goes out nonstop. tell us about what you saw it as you were going to new york when you went to the border. tell us what you saw on the ground. sec. noem: i do not believe i can know what my agencies are doing unless i know with the people on the front lines of doing and what they go through every day, and frankly for the agencies and border patrol and ice commit to get say, i have fema. we have a huge recruitment issue especially in border patrol and ice. the morale is the lowest it has ever been, because you have people who signed up for a job in the last four years there were not able to do their jobs. the morning that we went to new york city, i left my apartment at 1:30 in the morning. got on a flight, went to new york city. we had a briefing at 3:00 with 75 to 100 enforcement offers that would go up and run ops, these were different agencies, atf, tsa, ice. we had warrants on quite a few people, but they were dangerous people that had warrants for a

last leadership team, and alejandro mayorkas, rode only them.>> lawrence: one thing i notice you ask them what their concerns were, what equipment they needed, what technology they ne needed. >> hundreds of billions this country spends and not giving law enforcement tools they need. they need more assets for their horse patrol program, train agents to be more nimble. i was in new york yesterday, they wanted snow tig -- tires. ice needs thermals to operate at night and see what is going on. >> lawrence: they will know you have their back. >> they will know leadership is listening to emthis, they have insight that will help me do a better job keeping america safe and fulfilling what president trump promised. >> lawrence: i'm seeing a different in morale, smiles on faces. can you imagine signing up for border patrol and being assigned to process people to come in illegally, now they are back at their doout station enforcing the law, they're thrilled. we need help, people want to join border patrol or ice, mission of the agency is to keep america sa

proving that obviously the lies that alejandro mayorkas and biden administration, you know, we're controlling the border, nothing is happening. we then see these numbers just plummet. griff: you can't overstate it. i've covered the border for nearly 15 years. i've never seen numbers this low. in eagle pass, texas, in the del rio sector, there was like 23 yesterday and 40 the day before. i watched 3-4,000 every single day and brought to you live and the reason why is because president trump is delivering on the promise and tom homan is there and i talk to him almost every day and mike banks, who was the border czar in texas, spent his entire life in the border patrol. he started in california and worked in every station in rio grand in texas and border patrol career before he was taking over governor abbott's border czar operation in texas. he knows how to do this and what's happening and what's so remarkable about what this team is doing is that they're putting the border patrol back to their fundamental job guarding the southern boarder and not babysitting migrants and they're letting eyes o

i want to know why we are not talking about alejandro mayorkas and one of the few biden did not pardont to make sure americans understand that el paso and every border city has been ignored and with expulsion since 2019, all lies in el paso. illegal immigration has been the way of life. a.m. every tear native of el paso. and a lot of people that were deported would go to the church that i used to go to as a kid. they would ask for help. so illegal immigration is nothing new to spiritual in this amount, it is unfathomable we cannot sustain this. >> todd: irene, to be clear, that is a big accusation you are levering stomach leveling on politicians whether congressional members or whethed state government or local government they are tied to the cartels. let's be clear, if there is any truth to that, we can trust pam bondi will go and get to the bottom of it. that is a pretty big, pretty thick now that you are throwing out there make. we will see if it is true. irene, thank you for your time and insight. to outfox weather alert now, 100 people under winter weather alerts this morning back

18 months in the final days of the body to administration but then homeless security sector alejandro mayorkasw the status is going to go away in 60 days this move comes as president trump strikes a deal with venezuela who agreed to shoot back illegal migrants departed out of the united states, then there's this marco rubio's first international trip is getting results. el salvador's president offering to house deportees including convicted criminals of any nationality in the country's massive prison system in exchange for a fee the president making the offer after meeting with rubio and salvador collated a chance to outsource america's prison system even offering to taking convicted american criminal though the u.s. officials say that's unlikely. rubio speaking exclusively to fox news. watch. >> i think he'll agree to take back the ms 13 killers he built the prison system to house them in a think is willing to take back the tren de aragua that are not. he is an ally to the united states. maria: there you go. >> that's unbelievable that is great news marco rubio has been doing an excellent job

remember hearing a message like that from the last border -- border czar kamala harris or from alejandro mayorkas for that matter. what is your take on that? >> immigration was obviously one of the trump -- vents campaign messages. we saw and pulling one of the main reasons they voted for them they are deporting about the number of people barack obama's administration deported. obviously they're looking other things like sending people to get more rebuilding parts of the wall et cetera so i think the focus on immigration is a good one. the problem martha is in the first 30 days they've moved so fast to break thanks that they are also firing veterans and ending children's cancer research so kids with cancer won't be able to get cured so they are doing thanks they promised they are also blowing up a lot of stuff that impacts people across the country into -- including red states including places they really care about. at the same time they are doing both its real mixed mixed bag 30 days and. >> it's not as if the former president's policies didn't hurt people along the way and nobody wants to see

deputy director, i was very close with the then deputy of dhs, who is, uh, later secretary alejandro mayorkasand it was our friendship and our ability to interact that made us productive together. so it's it's sad to see that sacrificed here by an impertinent social media post. >> yeah. uh, and if you will, andy, i do want to make the pivot and talk about the cnn original series about the bombing of pan am flight 103. it premieres tomorrow on cnn, and i want to first show a preview here. take a look. >> i didn't want to see her when she had been killed. i wanted to remember her as i had last seen her. full of life. she was everything that a parent could wish for. beautiful, bright, lively, intelligent girl. and, um, we were very proud of her. >> i mean, the clip, as you heard there, shows the human loss of the bombing. andrew, what can you tell us about how that investigation became global and revealed all these twists and turns? >> yeah, it's such an important case and really one that in many respects brought the catastrophic impact of terrorism, uh, to the public awareness. right. this is 1

thing that would keep me up at night is that we know because of joe biden and kamala harris and alejandro mayorkas, we have known terrorists in the country, but we don't know where they are. you mentioned the order to go after cartels and work with dhs on that. i'm glad you're doing that. i'm worried about them. i worry about gangs in the country. but we also have known murderers, rapists, other violent criminals. how do we find them? >> well, tom homan, stephen miller, kristi noem, the dhs, they're doing a great job. and what we're doing with all of our fbi agents, dea, atf, all of the federal agents, u.s. marshals, everyone is going to work together, and they're going to actually prosecute violent crime instead of weaponizing government. and that's what's been happening. and mazie hirono is wrong. it's the end of the weaponization of government and getting back to prosecuting violent crime and giving our great men and women the tools that they need in law enforcement to go after these horrific gangs, the drug dealers, the fentanyl dealers who are killing people on our streets every day and the c

and whenever alejandro mayorkas or kamala or joe, they they just flat out talked about illegal immigrationey just flat out lied to the american people. you're being straight up. you're being transparent. you're you're you're literally telling the american people about progress on an updated basis. and we appreciate it. thanks for your transparency. all right. when we continue a live update on that plane that flipped upside down while landing in toronto, canada. plus another day, another bad batch of stories from the left wing, state run legacy media mob. we've got the latest. we got reaction joe concha, tomi lahren, our next. >> g. ivanova, powers america every day. as the leading american energy manufacturer, we've never stopped building the technologies that drive today's economy and define the future of energy. we know an abundant, independent and secure energy system starts here at home. it's why we're investing millions in american manufacturing and creating thousands of new jobs. together, we will lead a new era of energy for america and the world. >> ge ready. >> to live. ageless? >

where were they when unelected alejandro mayorkas was facilitating the invasion of our country by illegal aliens that were murdering, raping, and pillaging our people? when -- where were why when the unelected secretary of education cardona targeted schools and people who disagreed with his view of the radical left transgender ideology? where were they when gary gensler, the former chairman of the sec, also unelected was flawlessly supporting the development of financial markets, particularly in the crypto space by a flawlessly pursuing regulation via enforcement. they were noted -- nowhere to be seen because they don't care because all of those things benefited their side of the aisle at the expense of ours. perhaps that is also why they don't seem to be very interested in rooting out improper payments from our federal government. if you wonder why so many people are cynical about american politics, this is exactly why. the reality is, elon musk serves as an employee of the president. we were given a massive mandate to carry out what he has been doing. his job is to carry out the will of

years, though, president biden and vice president harris and secretary of homeland security alejandro mayorkasentionally and willfully refused to enforce the laws on the books to keep the border secure and to keep our nation safe. even before his first day in had the office, president biden rolled out the welcome mat to illegal immigrants to speeches during his campaign, inviting -- inviting -- what ensued. early in his presidency, president bidened president trump's very effective policy known as remain in mexico. this very simply provided that those who sought asylum needed to remain outside of the borders of the united states while their asylum claim was litigated and ultimately decided. knowing that only about 15% of people who claim asylum ultimately are awarded that by an immigration court. the biden administration ended construction of president trump's border wall and instead spent federal funds to store those materials that had already been paid for. squandering taxpayer dollars in the process. and as this crisis was evolving and worsening, the president -- president biden ended title
