but it's interesting, in some ways today's russia moves from the biden administration are a big shove. at the same time they're conciliatory in some other ways. after the big sanctions announcement this morning, president biden this afternoon delivered remarks on russia that were sort of conciliatory. and in what has become kind of a catch phrase in his administration, whenever they talk about russia, president biden said today america wants a stable and predictable relationship with russia. we also got word today that the u.s. navy has called off a plan to send two destroyers through the black sea off the coast of russia and ukraine. this transit by the u.s. navy would have been seen as a show of support for ukraine as russia continues its big menacing buildup on the ukrainian border. so we get this big shove in terms of the sanctions, a conciliatory speech from the president at the same time, and then a military decision to remove something that would have been a show of support for ukraine, also potentially a provocation to russia. what is the balance that the biden administration

the people within the biden administration are not so much against sanctions. against the way the trump administration did it to they would like to have a sanctions regime that gives some control over iran's economy, control over the development of its nuclear program and allows iran to have some breathing room . but not to be completely free of these restrictions. constant -- the complication is not so much a legal or bureaucratic problem. it is a problem of political will. it is that president biden looks at the middle east, looks at iran in a fundamentally different way than president obama did. obama looked at iran as a great opportunity. like when president nixon went to china and opened u.s. relations with china. biden does not see it that way. he sees iran as a problem to contain. >> you mentioned the fact there are members of the biden administration who would like to renegotiate the deal. would not that take leverage? does the u.s. have leverage to do something like that right now? >> there are people within the biden administration that think they do.

about these issues and drawing a contrast between the trump administration policies and the biden administrations that very early are failing. mark: hearing this presidency we have at least the combination of the incompetence of the carter administration, and the ideological left wing positions of the obama administration. i can't think of anything worse -- john ratcliff first i want to thank you for your service to country service in congress as well and i wish you all of the best. thank you, sir. >> thanks mark, great to be with you. mark: we'll be right back. jeff's been to the bottom of the ocean. the tops of mountains. and wherever this guy runs off to. a life well lived should continue at home. with home instead care, older adults can stay home, safe, and happy. home instead. to us, it's personal. now, simparica trio simplifies protection. ticks and fleas? home instead. see ya! heartworm disease? no way! simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. and simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. it's simple: go with simparica trio. this drug class has been a

ambassador to russia during the biden administration, he has talked about the things for a number of inistration was growing stuff. mister ambassador, thank you so much for your time today. >> glad to be here, rachel. >> do you see a sort of effort at balance here? i feel like on russia specifically, we are seeing a shove would be sanctions. we also saw that the biden administration is transparent on the issue of potential bounties on u.s. service members, and say that we actually don't feel like the intelligence is solid enough on that to act. we saw him give a speech that was respectful towards vladimir putin and talking about wanting to meet but wanting to be firm when they do something wrong. and now we see them pulling off this plan, it seems like a calibrated system, a set of actions. >> absolutely. it is called a strategy, it is called a policy towards russia, and whether you agree or not it is very clear i think you captured it very eloquently, they want to say to vladimir putin, i don't want to be your friend, you know, president biden didn't say i look forward to seeing my g

the words of the biden administration, the biden/harris administration, we're supposed to call it that than its deeds. you have kamala harris, the vice president, she's not making any visit to the border any time soon apparently. there's nothing on the schedule. jen psaki has to circle back in terms of when that may happen or if it's diplomatic, i don't hear about trips to guatemala, nicaragua or mexico. the words of the biden administration, yes, we're going to fix the problem. but in terms of deeds, nothing seems to be done. i would think if you want to solve this problem, you have to go to the border and see the facilities at 17 times the capacity during a pandemic or maybe talk to border patrol officials or the people running these facilities where you have one that it's supposed to only hold 250 people, it has 4,000 in it right now, 19,000 minors overall just last month crossed into the country, an all-time record. so the biden administration created a crisis of its own doing by its rhetoric but now by its deeds isn't doing anything to stop it. the vice president needs to hold a p

and the biden administration? >> i think it is a message to the biden administration.hat said, i don't think we can discount the biden administration's support for israel. the biden administration has made very clear it is going to fulsome lead support israel. our secretary of defense was in israel at this attack was being launched. there is a high-level working group publicly disclosed to the press between israeli and american intelligence and security officials. it puts the united states in a bind. even if the united states do not partake in this operation as u.s. officials have tried to say overnight, even if the united states did not partake, does the united states have advance warning? does it benefit? israeli press reports say u.s. officials are satisfied with what the israelis have done. either way, it puts the united states in a very bad position in any perception of talks over iran's nuclear program. >> how is this being seen in iran? >> people basically believe this was carried out with u.s. support because all israeli acts of terror and sabotage have been ca

showed the numbers comparing what the trump administration wanted to do in 2021 with the biden administration's hopes. what was the impact of the refugee policy under -- what was it, and what was the impact of it under the trump administration? >> well, at the end of the obama administration, the last year they admitted about 85,000 refugees. and they had planned on a cap of 115,000. the trump administration, one of the first things that they did was to ban admission from certain muslim countries or predominantly muslim countries. countries like somalia and yemen were outright banned. and that started to bring the refugee numbers down. in most years, they didn't fill that cap. at the same time, there's less money going to those voluntary agencies that cooperate with the u.s. government to resettle the refugees because they're funded based on the number of refugees they resettle. that part of the system atrophied. then they withdrew their refugee screening officers and redeployed many of them on asylum cases at the border. finally, the third component in the government is the u.s. department of

politics and political leadership change drastically from the trump administration to the biden administration. we saw president trump pull out of all kinds of deals an agreements that have been signed by previous administrations. so biden is trying to convince the world that america is back that trump was an aberration, and that, you know, the united states can be counted on. but there's a lot of skepticism in the global community about whether or not that is the case around whether or not world leaders and the global community can count on the united states to retain its leadership role and to retain some level of consistency across administrations even as biden is pressing for very drastic reductions in carbon emissions. there's a lot of skepticism in the global community that the next president may not stand by those commitments and they may not stand the test of time. so biden has a lot of work to do. he's facing a skeptical crowd on the global stage. but it is his very important task and very important responsibility to carry out the role that he says he's going to play which is being th

the biden administration tried to shift the focus from the crisis at the border to the countries wherey of the immigrants are coming from. administration officials will be traveling to guatemala and el salvador in an attempt to address the root causes of the border surge. in the near term, there is no solution in sight. we expect data for customs and border patrol will show that in the month of march alone, 171,000 immigrants were caught along the southern border. if that is the case, it is the highest monthly total in decades a. a number of shelters including one in san diego are reaching capacity. republican lawmakers have been raising the alarm by visiting some of the detention facilities. one senator said he was told to delete images from his phone. >> they are crammed in like sardines and this what is the biden administration is trying to hide from the american public which is why we took video and the biden administration tried to stop us. >> they needed the border wall that was under construction, that to be completed. they need the policies, better policies and policies that we

the biden administration has sent thousands back to mexico. even though there are fewer families coming to the border today than there were under president trump in 2019. as a result, because by the third of all families right now being sent back to mexico, significantly fewer are being allowed to access asylum under the biden administration then were allowed to access it under the trump administration. >> [inaudible] a chart here i can also take a look at the timer. i see that my time is expiring so hopefully we will get to this in the second round of questions and we will hear from more of our witnesses. with that, i'm going to turn it over to the ranking member for his questions. >> thank you, madam chair. regarding legal immigration, legal residency and a pathway to citizenship in america, let me say the nation is a compassionate and generous country with arguably the most receptive and accessible immigration policies of any prominent sovereign nation anywhere in the world. myself and my conservative colleagues, we encourage legal immigrat

the biden administration -- well, the trump administration was then sued by many democratic members and biden administration decided they don't want to standby that and we asked the court if we can step in and defend it. this cost our state billions of dollars and cost the country billions of dollars. if we are going to invite people in, we have to make sure they are taking care of themselves and not end up on food stamps and medicaid and healthcare insurance from our country. maria: well, you make a really good point because we've heard from a number of mayors and the mayors of border towns are completely overwhelmed. talk to that a bit because you are seeing the border towns and even towns in the interior of our country change completely because of this surge of new people. ken: well, it's very unfair to border towns. a lot of times they are smaller. even if they are not, so many people coming across and so much demand on the services especially if the children, having to take care of these children and then you throw in the mix of covid and other potential diseases and they are overw

and having the biden administration, first the courts and the biden administration saying they're going back complying with the law, complying with the trafficking victim protection act and allowing the children protection has been most important so that children are even able to-- right now. other thing they have done has been helpful as i mentioned before allowing the children's closer to home to apply for refugee status is important and put into place many procedures and expedited procedures to screen and identify the sponsors to get the kids out of custody, and they'll going through the process in the home of a family member or sponsor, and they're able to do so outside of government custody. >> and i'm glad you mentioned that. can you explain the importance, access to counsel while this process is going on? >> it's hard to overstate the importance of counsel especially for a child. these are children, very, very young in some cases, many of whom do not speak english and the burden is on them to prove fot government that they have the case, that they have-- >> it's not on the childr

the biden administration looks to reduce or help resolve some of the root causes of migration. >> howany years have you've been studying central america and these countries? >> a very long time. it's embarrassing to admit. i'd say the better part of four decades. starting with the wars in central america in the 19 eighties. what's really interesting is central america was one of the most important national security issues during the cold war in the 19 eighties. after those wars were settled and the cold war was over, the united states and other international communities really kind of backed away. that's a lot of -- when these issues of governance and are standing up, police forces, pushing for reforms, tax reforms, pushing for more inclusive societies. that's a time when these pressures could have had a lot more impact, and yet we were really absent. you know, during the clinton administration in the 90s there was renewed attention because of the devastation of hurricane mitch. if you look at a country like honduras, you could see how the phenomenon of gang violence, the movement of

so, having the biden administration, first the courts and then the biden administration say, we're goinggo back to complying with the law, complying with the trafficking victim protection act and allowing children to ask for protection, has been most important. so that children are even able to ask for safety right now. and then there's other things they have done that have been helpful. allowing for children to ask for protection closer to home, to apply for refugee status is incredibly important. and they've also put into place many procedures and expedited procedures to screen and identify the sponsors, to get the kids out of government custody so that when they're going through the very complex court process, they're able to do so while living in a home of a family member of a sponsor, so that when they start that very arduous process of going through the court system that we have, they're able to do so outside of government custody. >> and i'm glad you mentioned that. can you explain the importance of having access to counsel while this process is going on? >> i mean, it's hard to o

yet the biden administration is still in denial. it refuses to even admit that there is a crisis. president biden still hasn't been to the border. neither has the vice president. and she's supposed to be in charge of finding a solution to the problem. so once again today i call on president biden and vice president harris to go to the border and face the truth. today is the day. go to the border, face the truth. the president and vice president should talk to the border patrol agents. they should hear the stories that they heard -- that we have heard from them. it's the stories that they want to tell. they need to hear these stories. they need to face the reality. madam president, border patrol agents told me directly, finish the wall, bring back the remain-in-mexico policy because those are things that will make a difference. until we do those two things, the jobs of the border patrol agents will continue to get tougher and tougher every day. the vast -- vast numbers, vast majorities of american people support the border patrol agents. i know there are people on the other side of

>> so, for example, two of our lawsuit that is we are leading on one is we want the biden administrationdecriminalized and we have sued the administration over rescinding and the biden administration are nearly giving medical benefits and other benefits that are public tax dollars that people that broke the law in the country and regardless of what you think of the issue, it's fundamentally unfair that someone that came in here that broke the law to get all of the government benefits. my goodness, maria, we have homeless vets in this country yet the biden administration wants to spends hundreds of dollars per migrant family to house them. maria: unbelievable. mark: border has to take them, arrest them and then process them and while they're doing that the drug cartels are literally driving trucks across the border with drugs, so this is not just in arizona. it's going to affect the entire country for generations to come. maria: and real quick before we go, talk to us about taxes because you are also suing over 1.9 trillion stimulus package which says if you get any money, you can't cut t

it's the biden-harris administration and their reckless policy. january 20 they swung america's doors open to anyone who wants to enter into the united states. the invitation was clear. even mexican president obrador referred to joe biden as the quote migrant president. he places blame solely on the shoulders of joe bidens specially because joe biden canceled the remain in mexico policy agreed upon by president trump and the mexican president. not only is this a public health crisis because of the administration's inability or refusal to test migrants before shipping them all over the country. not only is it a humanitarian crisis because of the administration's decision to place children in inhumane and barbaric conditions. and those are alexandria ocasio-cortez's words. this is a crisis. we are a sovereign nation and we have no idea who is coming into this country. the share river damage said 100,000 have entered along his sector. they are coming from turkey and iran and yes men and 138 other -- countries. >> the people coming from yemen and sri l

anchor: demetri, how is moscow reading the biden administration? visit see a tougher u.s. undivided -- u.s. approach to russia under biden? >> russia was unpleasantly surprised by the news, let's put it mildly, undiplomatic language about our president. and then into weeks -- and then, in two weeks, he says personal relations are very important between him and president putin. but we are used to this. the u.s. is no longer a democratic country. it divides the world into democracies and non-democracies. the united states sometimes babes in a very totalitarian matter, which we are familiar with. it started with hitler's at the end of the 1930's -- it started with hitler at the end of the 1930's. same story with biden. yesterday, putin was a killer. today, we are going to have a summit meetingomewhere and those allegations are very important. the narrative about trump being russian agent and soft on russia is false. you just have to look at the facts. trump expelled more russian diplomat than any u.s. president in history. he believed a very, very murky story about the poison

>> isn't it interesting how much the biden administration has followed through with what the trump administration was to claim that trump wasn't doing a good job. operation warp speed obviously got the vaccine up and running already up to a million doses in the arms on the day of inauguration continued very well. even the other good thing that the trump administration did which was instituting a travel ban which biden hated they are following through on that too whether it's china or other things, they seem to be following trump's lead. >> bret: mixed messaging on the coronavirus on covid-19 the cdc. we have seen this along the way. take a listen. >> going to the park with their family, dining and socializing with their friends outside. in many more outdoor activities without needing to wear a mask. >> there are so many mixed messages out there. if you are around vaccinated people you should not wear a mask. >> i'm looking for my mask. i'm in trouble. >> bret: amy, there is something about the outdoor mask and the announcement, it just hasn't taken and people are picking up on it. >> yeah, it's v

it's not just a problem that the biden administration is facing.ost: to our viewers, here's your opportunity to bounce your perspectives, questions, and comments at cynthia arnson. republicans dial in at (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents, (202) 748-8002. text us at (202) 748-8003. just put your first name and city and state. tina from huntington, independent. caller: thank you for taking my call. i come from miami in the 1980's and watched that surge. my question and concern as we continue to throw money at these countries. we are throwing it to the country itself and now we have ms. harris saying we will give you more, and we are giving it to the individuals crossing illegally, which will deplete our welfare and charity systems for americans. why don't we just acquire them as territories, go into negotiations? it would be cheaper on the taxpayer. that's my concern. host: understood. guest: thanks for that question. in reality, if you look at foreign assistance as an overall percentage of the u.s. budget, it is infinitesimal.

mexico, honduras, troops to lower migration the biden administration struck an agreement with mexico, honduras and guatemala to temporarily search to their board and urge to refer use the tide of migration to the border. wasn't this done once before under the trump administration? >> it sure was for the trump administration saw a similar surge semi- of a surge of children but a massive surge of families showing up beginning in 2018 and really peeking in the late spring of 2019. the trump administration, your viewers might remember president trump threatened to slap major tariffs on mexican goods unless mexico did more to stop the flow of people crossing its territory. and within weeks of that threat we will deploy troops and accept the people you're trying to return back across the border. expel back across the border pretty wrote a story the time the president managed to solve that border crisis by outsourcing the job of stopping the flow of people and in some respects that similar to at the bided mexico is leaving this national guard troops with those who doubt the trump administrat

that is in stark contrast to the biden administration seems determined, determined to rejoin that flawedhanistan. biden is continuing trump's policy of ending the forever war in afghanistan. troops out by the 20th anniversary of 9/11. senator lindsey graham doesn't like this plan. watch senator lindsey graham with sean hannity last night. watch. >> afghanistan is going to deteriorate pretty rapidly. al qaeda and isis will come back. he is paving the way for another 9/11. joe biden on foreign policy has been completely -- what he has done with the iranians is a threat to everything we've accomplished in the mid-east. i hope and pray that i'm wrong but i know what was going to happen in iraq, afghanistan is going to be worse. elizabeth: so but this is a trump policy. what do you say to this? >> yeah, well, lindsey graham and his sidekick in the house liz cheney never met a war they didn't like. it is ludicrous to think 3500 u.s. troops with limited capabilities are keeping taliban and al qaeda at bay. we've been there 20 years. we made our point to everyone in afghanistan, if they host a t

the biden administration struggling to deal with unfolding humanitarian crisis at the southern borderan be done about the dire situation how much it is costing, still had. ♪♪ one of our top stories, unfolding humanitarian crisis continue on our seven border. federal border agents say they've been overwhelmed by the sheer number of migrants who continue to cross into our country. the number is steadily increasing for nearly a year now skyrocketed in february and march and the flow so far shows no signs of stopping. republican congressman of texas joins us, former mayor in texas, you know what it's like on the front lines. the number of unaccompanied children from central america hit a record number last month. almost 19000, that's about 600 day they make a dangerous check and they're still coming, what actions would you like to see the biden administration take? >> i'd like the biden administration to actually listen to the folks who have warned them if they change their policy, is exactly what would happen if they were in the room when you talk to people like tom cotton or mark morgan

it wouldn't surprise me that the biden administration is doing the same thing with republicans. with those that used to be in the trump administration. where are the durham investigation? where are all the investigations supposed to be going on all this time, to look at the abuses that were happening in the doj for "crossfire hurricane" and the trump administration? elizabeth: we've got cash patel worked for house republicans on house intelligence. he worked in the office of the director of national intelligence. he was basically saying, wait a second. there are abuses of constitutional rights in the fbi spying on the trump campaign in the probe. but you know, here is the thing, congressman, the doj watchdog said it was botched. you know the fbi official, james comey, peter strzok, james clapper, they would all later say they didn't have a case for collusion but now we have them going after kash patel, in some kind of deep state intelligence agency complaint to go after patel? >> they're using -- they know they didn't have a case back when they were investigating it because they

the biden administration has made it clear that it wants to do that.he contours of that relationship, based on china's behavior in the south china sea and the stealing of intellectual property, how you deal with those in a constructive way is something that is going to test the biden administration. jonathan: marty, always great to catch up with you, sir. this is the defining issue of the next several decades. tom: last night, i was watching a lot of the speech on the philippines. they have had a horror for typhoon -- horrific typhoon. now they have the storm of an increased pandemic. and now they have the south china sea. it is front and center. jonathan: we have to feel for the new approach. it is a multilateral one. what i fail to see so far is the new strategy. what is the objective here? gain a foothold in the region? what does it look like? lisa: we do not have a sense of the firepower either. china's economy was the first to emerge from the pandemic. it is not clear how much momentum there is behind it. china's economy is growing more slowly. do

biden administration. remember the caravans in the last administration. we have that. it is the northern triangle. tell you one source of comfort for me though is that we have some really top people in charge of the border. you talk about roberta jacobsen, who is the, the top administration official dealing with the border down there. look her up. one of the most capable people that we ever had in our foreign service is in charge of that. it is a complex problem and you toughed on it, earlier mike, dealing with the northern triangle. dealing with the source of why people want to leave there, to me that's key. now the other thing is roberta jacobsen said it in english, she said it in spanish, don't come. our borders are closed because of the pandemic. you can't come across our border. that is not, that is not happening right now. so as a result the message is very clear, don't come now. this is not the time for that. mike: we're showing viewers live pictures of from la joya, texas. the drone over the scene

i thought that was the most important priority for the biden administration and yet we still haven't know how president biden spent two hours with xi gin pick and not raise the most critical issue. president biden within hours of taking the oath of office rejoined the world health organization. in other words, shoveling hundreds of millions of dollars of americans' money into the organization which was complicit in spreading false narrative because the w.h.o., let's remember in january of last year was telling the world that this disease was not contagious when senior doctors at the organization knew that it was. you know, john ratcliffe is absolutely right in all the points that he makes about this. this is just -- this is inexcusable. maria: i mean, will it ever come up? what -- how are we supposed to believe in u.s.-china policy and a change in policy without understanding clearly where beijing stands on this? what does it have to say for itself? >> yeah. i think right now the issue of whether this will ever get to the bottom of this, i think that we will, but it will take a long

migrants don't come into our country is easily, something donald trump did and learning the biden administration page from the playbook here. >> maybe they should have done that, the trump administration outgoing. they virtues signal, filling gaps in the border wall, a lot of gaps need to be filled, equipment and materials the biden administration's decision to halt the border wall and happy they are working in mexico, honduras and guatemala, they need to understand. until you stop the cattle call for unaccompanied minors you won't solve that problem. they also know they can take all the time and resources in border patrol so people who are coming in, will come through no matter how many agreements they have so long as unaccompanied minors are welcome to this country so that is something the biden administration addresses very quickly. >> the coronavirus witching gears were second, i hear you are concerned about vaccine, why is that? >> the majority of the american people felt lied to, and if anybody wants to get a vaccine, and operation warp speed, to make this available, congratulations to the

final question, why do you think the biden administration is pushing so hard?re troubled the biden administration would go after nuns and religious doctors. it is not a surprise that this is happening, we are prepared for it. the biden administration is misguided and we are people of science, medical science, evidence based and we would challenge any big professional associations to sit down at the table and go over the evidence without calling one another names or intimidating one another. we will stand on the evidence. we always have and we always will. todd: appreciate your time this morning, thank you. >> fox news alert, suspect reportedly fired shots at police after a multicounty chase ended a gunfight in northeast indiana. a local media station reports the shootout happened after the driver took off during the traffic stop for reckless driving. nearly an hour later police were able to stop the car in kindleville. the suspect has life-threatening injuries, no officers were hurt. is the postal service tracking your social media? yahoo! news obtaining. and r

>> that will happen to the obama biden administration and the conspiring d.o.j. the trump campaign, you have active members in the d.o.j. on operation crossfire hurricane for prevailing on american citizen using their investigation into the trump campaign the collusion with russia, we now never know existed it would not surprise me that the biden administration is doing the same thing with republicans and those who used to be the trump administration, where is the durham investigation, where are the investigations that are supposed to be going on all this time and look at the abuses that are happening in the d.o.j. for crossfire hurricane in the trump administration. liz: he works for house republicans in the office of national intelligence and he was basically saying, wait a second, the abuses of constitutional rights and the fbi spying here's the thing the d.o.j. watch dog was botched in james comey, peter strzok, james clapper and they say they didn't have a case for collusion. now we've been going after kash patel in a deep state intelligence agency complaint

i don't feel comfortable, but i wouldn't rule that out. >> big test for the biden administration, no n. if we could move on to afghanistan for a moment here, i've spoken to a number of members of the administration as well as folks in the pentagon about this decision. clearly there was opposition within the biden administration, as most senior military advisers said. listen, you go to zero, there's real danger there. it strikes me the administration is taking a big risk here. we saw what happened when president obama ordered a full withdrawal from iraq in 2011. they had to go back in. isis came back. they say al qaeda is not a threat to the u.s. homeland today. that could change. how much of a risk is this in your view? >> it's a large risk. there will be all sorts of reprisals, retribution against anyone who worked against the government, against girls and women. that's pretty certain. the question is if and when the taliban control most of the country, would they invite back or simply not be in a position to prevent groups like isis or al qaeda from setting up shop. that's quite pos

the biden administration today slapping sweeping new sanctions on russia, including expelling russianed here in the united states, this in response to the 2020 election interference from moscow and the solar winds cyberattack that breached vital u.s. government agencies and private businesses. the move escalates tensions with moscow but the white house says president biden is still hopeful to schedule a summit with vladimir putin sometime in the months ahead. later this year. biden national security adviser jake sullivan telling cnn this morning the administration is adamant that russia be held accountable but he says there also is an opportunity here. >> we believe that all together, both the actions we are taking today and that broader diplomacy can produce a better set of outcomes for u.s./russia relations. >> cnn's kylie atwood joins us from the state department, interesting perspective that we're slapping significant punishment but we hope in the long run something better comes of it. >> reporter: that's right, the administration essentially is making the argument that their resp

today the biden administration has done nothing to address the situation. >> the federal government oflth and human services runs the shelter and says hhs has a zero-tolerance policy for all forms of inappropriate sexual behavior in all care provider facilities, we will continue investigating any incident affecting children's health, well-being and safety and take the proper measures. the activity continues at the border, you also the number of congressional delegations, they have been coming into the past week through the weekend and there's more scheduled today through tomorrow, republicans have been hitting the biden administration very hard for all of this, the biden administration says is trying to address the drivers of migration calling for additional 4 billion-dollar allocation to try to help the northern triangle that is el salvador, guatemala and honduras to try to improve conditions to prevent them from taking very dangerous journey through mexico across the rio grande and many end up in custody and some certainly do not. back to you. arthel: speaking about the family behind
