from north carolina dan bishop if the border secure department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkasesponded unequivocally, yes. anyone with functioning eyes can tell you that that's simply a lie. yet mayorkas repeatedly claims that the border is under control and the biden administration is taking steps to increase security. i'm not sure which border he's talking about, but it sure isn't the one on the southern border. every single day, unvetted migrants, illicit drugs and all kinds of contraband pour over our southern border unchecked. the biden administration is failing at their primary constitutional duty, maintaining the security and sovereignty of our great nation. each month joe is in office, he breaks all time records on number of migrants crossing our southern border. during the 2022 fiscal year alone, more than two million people have crossed our southern border. that number is simply mind boggling. at the beginning of this year, i led over 40 of my colleagues in calling for secretary mayorkas's resignation. unfortunately, he didn't listen. and the situation at the southern

we just watched your colleagues talking about a move to impeach alejandro mayorkas.rtment of homeland security chief. what would be the grounds? how would you pursue that specifically? >> that's exactly the question. you have to think leader mccarthy said it right. he said in order to do an impeachment proceeding, first need to do the investigation. don't forget, there's standards for impeachment. it's called high crimes and misdemeanors. we have to build our case just like as we did as a prosecutor. you build your case and bring the charges. you don't bring the charges and build your case. >> martha: you think your colleagues are getting out over their skis on this and would you recommend that they pull back and wait for the investigation? >> i don't think they're getting out over their skis. they're expressing frustration with the madness at the border. one million got-aways under this administration. one million people that we have no idea where they are in this country. that is just the people that we're able to document through video. that's not all the others t

the dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas visited the border yesterday to see it firsthand.bush, bill bennett the author of the book virtues the 30th anniversary edition joins us now. good morning to you. >> thank you. thank you very much steve. >> steve: those images of the police officer down on the ground, she wanted people to see that video so they would know what happens when you touch fentanyl and she was wearing gloves but apparently some of the stuff blew into her nose and next thing you know she's out. she was not breathing. fentanyl is a problem coming over by the case at our southern border. >> yeah. that's where we are. that's where we are in this country. that's where we are at the border, that's where we are thanks to biden's policies. see tons and tons of fentanyl coming in and people say it's enough to poison the whole country. right. it is. and sooner or later it's going to get into people's systems like it did for this officer because of a little gust of wind and this rolled up dollar bill. things are upside down right now in america. a lot of things are up

brian babin blame the homeland security secretary for this issue and said this time to impeach alejandro mayorkas. his failure to maintain operational control of the border is allowing deadly illegal drugs such as fentanyl to come into the country. mayorkas has this trace the office study holes. he has abandoned his constitutional obligation and willfully i might add and should be impeached. and senate republicans like iowa senator joni ernst call that the biden administration as title 42, the trump era border restriction is set to end in a few days. president biden says he has more important things to do. >> that address our southern border. but the white house pushed back and says it's on congress to work with the administration to combat the problem. republicans are asking, you know how we're going to secure the border. i've listed out of ways that we tried in work to work on that. >> but we're also wanting to do this on a bipartisan way. texas democratic congresswoman veronica escobar is thankful for the administration's efforts but urges congress to take initiative to engage legislatively to

so do you think that the homeland security secretary, alejandro mayorkas, we've heard criticism from him from republicans. should he be impeached over this? >> i believe so. the buck stops with president biden. i'm sure that secretary mayorkas is doing what the biden administration wants him to do. his job, secretary mayorkas' job is to keep america safe. he's not done so first by the flow of illegals in our country and second, a lot of people forget about this. it's the fentanyl going through the southern border killing tens of thousands of americans every year. 80 to 100,000 americans are dying from this flow of fentanyl that is supplied by a multinational organization across the border. we're doing absolutely nothing about it. that is more critical. you see the impact on daily lives of americans and taking the lives of americans in their prom of their lifetime. there's 18 of 34-year-olds dying over 200 of them are dying every day from the fentanyl overdose. the biden administration does absolutely nothing about it. >> edward: so should president biden then be impeached over the bor

alejandro mayorkas, the dhs secretary, is part of that problem., we're seeing chaos and we're seeing a lot of human misery and death that is being caused by having an open border's agenda that is being pushed by this administration. they continue to lie to the american public and they continue to lie to our border patrol agents and saying the border is secure and nobody is happening along the border. we know what is happening. there's complete misery and chaos. hopefully with this strike force from the texas dps, that's going to give us -- going to give us an edge on batsling the cartels. as it is right now, sometimes we see more texas troopers working the line than we see border patrol agents out there. >> neil: and you see this video and you know what is happening here. i see drug cartels that don't really care if they're being videotaped. they don't care whether authorities just a few hundred feet from them are following them. there's a boldness to this. >> you know, neil, the u.s. government is not going after them. they're giving them a free

sharing it with democrats in the senate because a group of democrats in the senate wrote to alejandro mayorkasecember 1st and he never wrote back. bipartisan concern is because as more migrants cross illegally, the u.s. has been using title 42 more and more and more. so another bipartisan letter reads, dhs is almost completely reliant on title 42 to control migration from mexico and the northern triangle. the vast majority of mexicans, guatemalans, hondurans and salvadorians encountered by u.s. border patrol along the border in october 2022 were expelled under title title 42 rather than processed under title 8. officials are warning of a big problem if this administration doesn't do something. often times there is going to be a big policy announcement this white house wants to talk about they will signal coming a few days in advance but so far nothing like that on the schedule. liz? elizabeth: interesting. great reporting as always from peter doocy. good to see you, peter. we have breaking news coming in. let's bring in the co-chair of the house border security caucus, congressman brian babin.

mere fact that joe biden, kamala harris who was supposed to be our border czar and secretary alejandro mayorkasailed to contain the border crisis and what you continue to see are record numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the border is something that is a national security risk and something that needs to be stopped. it's been -- what is so frustrating to watch many of these liberals, many of these democrats continue to support an influx of migrants through the border illegally. we should be supporting legal immigration into america, not allowing for this chaos that is overwhelming the border patrol agents at the border. ashley: 30 seconds, should we hold mayorkas actable? should that happen and someone has to hold them accountable for this? >> absolutely. you have to watch the majority of the house of representativess and that'll be one of the first priorities in congress and i think it's time that we find change in leadership but it's not going to be enough to change the homeland security secretary and it needs to become a priority for the biden administration and needs to bring in republi

as a matter of fact, our homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas knows exactly how to secure thehe did it behind johnson. so these are people that willfully, willfully have destroyed the system that has given us border security. so, this is all about anxiety and this is a sitting cabinet member of the president that has willfully done this to the southern border. so these issues are theories. they impact people and fentanyl alone in this country, killing texans, killing americans in every state. >> todd: you know how it is by design, a.j.? but if you saw that sound bite by karine jean-pierre going into the segment the white house and democrats blaming republicans for not providing the funding. but a.j., we all know the reason they want that money is strictly that they can have more border agents on the border to process these migrants and get them into the interior sooner. it is not about keeping them out of the country. isn't that right? >> i have to agree with you. the fact of the matter is it's even worse. there is a hostile environment. we knew this would happen to arizona la

the second homeland security alejandro mayorkas wanted to go down they will institute the mexican programchanger in the trump administration peer the data clearly shows that but by sending more resources down they're here is what they will do from a process quicker and release quicker. why? they don't want overcrowding. if there is overcrowding, they may have a crisis. they spend all their efforts trying to control the crisis. you know, t let's controlled the optics of the crisis rather than the crisis itself. this will not fix the problem. we have the policies of the trump administration, turn them on and secure the border in a matter of 60 days. >> todd: you said repeatedly on this program for the administration is all about the objects. and this is another example of that. tom, this weekend a guatemalan citizen with aggravated child molestation in 2013 was arrested at the border. last year, 2,000 more noncitizen arrest than the year before and the most since 2016. look, for every convicted felon we catch, tom how many more go on call and make their way into the communities? >> they are

they see a lack of leadership from their leaders, namely dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas and we hadormer border patrol chief ron vitiello on a little earlier talking specifically about this failure. listen. >> what we're seeing in real time is their failure to do their job, right? dhs was created to protect us from threats, some of which come across our southwest border, our northern border, come into the ports of entry illegally. there are seven statements in the last 10 days on dhs's website. not one says we will enforce the border better. not one says the we'll give the border patrol agents, front line of dhs tools they know that they need to work and to solve the problem on the southwest border and the vice president has been out of touch on this issue probably for most of her career but was indicated by the president early on in this she had the responsibility to help fix this problem. carley: the tools are there. the biden administration is completely unwilling to use them. griff, just a quick question to you on this report that the biden administration is talking to folks in

secretary of homeland security alejandro mayorkas. yeah, he was wrapped in a bow.st openly lying on men and women on the border. and then if that wasn't a giant bag of coal he also suggestedd the biden administration had effectively managed the border crisis. but then if that was true it wouldn't be a crisis. let that marinate for a second. meanwhile he was all about deflecting blame like a goalie in the stanley cup finals. but on who? oh, yeah, the wonderful men and women of our border patrol agents and of course the racist-ass horses. but, hey, they probably came from the solo circuit, always bragging about being related to sea biscuit. and if that wasn't bad enough, these horse supremacists, all their saddle bags said coach. and they think non-thoroughbreds should be sent to the glue factory. tough crowd. they got more heat than rudolph the red nosed reindeer did at the christmas party when they found an open bottle of jack daniels near him and he claimed the red nose wasn't from booze. at least mayorkas could have done while throwing agents under the bus just w
