ashley: everyday you bring us remarkable stories, bill melugin , great stuff, bill, thank you very much the way, president biden addressed the border crisis nearly one hour into his speech, but he was interrupted by republicans. watch this. >> fentanyl is killing more than 70,000 americans a year. >> [rumbling among the crowd] >> you've got it. so let's launch a major surge to stop fentanyl production and sale and trafficking with more drug detection machines, inspection cargo, stop pills and powder at the border. >> [applause] ashley: well, finally, chad wolf , former acting dhs secretary john joins us now. for the longest time this administration wouldn't acknowledge there was a crisis at the border. is he going to security? is he finally recognizing the disaster that it is? >> well he may talk about the disaster. he may talk about the crisis but i don't think anything will change along that border unless you change policy and i don't believe that the biden administration is really serious about that. he talks about fentanyl there in the state of the union. he talks about a big initia

bill melugin live in mission, the, with more. bill. >> reporter: jon, good evening to you.llegal immigrants who successfully cross our border without ever being caught don't want to stay here. they want to get deeper in the country, and that often involves human smuggling. we'll show you what that looks like. take a look at this video right here in the rio grande valley, mcallen video, as texas dps pull over a human smuggler. they go into the vehicle, they find this guy was smuggling nine illegal immigrant,s most of whom were crammed in the trunk all on top of each other in the back of his vehicle. there were eight mexican nationals as well as one cuban. the human smuggler was an illegal from mexico himself, he has been arrested and charged with smuggling. then we'll take you out to border patrol's el paso sector. this was at a mobile home park in santa teresa, border agents finding 19 illegal immigrants being kept inside of a human smuggling stash house. typically we see this, they put them this these stash houses as a way to just keep them there and wait as they try to ge

bill melugin is live in mission, texas with the details. hi, bill. >> good morning to you. that's right. every single morning and every night out here at the border there is a constant game of cat and mouse between law enforcement and illegal immigrants looking to evade and don't want to turn themselves in. the video we shot as we embedded with texas dps in mission, texas starting with a body cam going after runners in the brush looking to evade. they take several migrants down and arrest them and take them into custody and switch to our video where you can see the groups of migrants. it is predominantly single adult men either from mexico or northern triangle countries of honduras, guatemala and el salvador. in january alone they recorded at least 48,000 known gotaways at our southern border. these law enforcement officials and border patrol are trying to get that number down. the video we shot here in mission we encountered this group of three chinese nationals who had just crossed illegally. each one of them said they paid $35,000 each to a cartel to be smuggled into the

joining me, bill melugin. i know you are busy and you do live shots he hour. i know you caught some of the testimony. how accurate was it in your view. reporter: you had the dad talking about the fentanyl, losing a child which is heart wrenching. the other part that caught my eye is democrats saying it's racist to bring up what's happening down here at the southern border. what i noticed from democrats and politicians who haven't been down here a lot, they tend to believe everybody coming across the border is a hungry asylum seeker threing some government that is out to kill them, they don't have any food or anything. that's true for some of them of course, but it's not the truth for the majority. most of the people showing up here are economic migrants because they want work, they want to link up with family or feel now is the time to come. that's not even talking about the other aspect of who is showing up here. the gotaways. we have had in recent days and weeks more than 2,000 people slipping past our border patrol, trying to evade. and they don't get recor

bill melugin was there live yesterday. back with us today in yuma for more on what happened. hello. >> bill, good morning to you. republicans say if democrats had shown up yesterday they would have had a chance to hear testimony from the ceo of uma's largest hospital who said they're on the brink of financial collapse after having to spend so much money treating illegal immigrants and not being paid for it. the hospital told them they're $26 million in the hole. much are pregnant migrant women's. some migrants who need months of care on dialysis with damaged kidneys from being in the desert. as a result of all this some of their local patients, local residents, u.s. citizens have had to delay their care. listen. >> we've had that experience with patients who have had to delay elective surgery because other urgent migrant patients have come in who needed emergency surgery. we've had to delay maternity patients with planned inductions because we've been out of space in maternity unit with migrant patients who have had deliveries. >> we also want to highlight this exchange betwee

bill melugin is live in mission, texas on how they made it work. hi, bill. >> good morning.ht. we're finding out about this. four people arrested after texas dps bust a suspected fentanyl pill lab operating in houston. look at the photos here. texas dps and local police in hazmat suits finding this lab operating inside of a car rental business in northwest houston. look at what they found inside. 17 pounds of fentanyl precursor shipped from china. one kilo of suspected counterfeit xanax pills and oxy pills laced with fentanyl. one pound of meth-laced add roll pills. the pill press machines. 10 to 15 pill press dye molds, three pistols and a rifle. they believe this lab will likely have some sort of association with a mexican drug cartel. four suspects have been arrested on a litany of charges including possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and manufacture fentanyl. however, i checked the jail records. as of this morning, all of them are out of custody. more on that as we learn it. look at the video out of la salle, county. texas dps chasing a human s

bill melugin is on that story in mission, texas. what's up with this? >> good morning.hese surveillance blimps are known at aero stats. there were 12 deployed along the southern border, now only four left due to a lack of funding. look at this video we shot of these stats considered a massive asset for border patrol. an eye in the sky. highly sophisticated cameras and technology. night vision, see for miles in all directions. they're highly effective at tracking evaders, smugglers and relaying realtime information to agents on the ground. maintained by the department of defense but very expensive. a source telling me the 12 balloons cost $45 million for one year. the pentagon had recently helped share the cost but told that funding has tried up and eight of the 12 are now grounded. cbp confirm the reduction in a statement telling fox in part the u.s. border patrol began reducing the number of them that it deploys on january 1, 2023. although border patrol's number will be reduced the border patrol will continue to use them throughout fiscal year 2023. only four of those

the very latest from bill melugin in mission, texas. bill? >> neil, good afternoon to you. every single day texas state troopers are on the front lines at the border working with border patrol to try to reduce the number of got-aways sneaking in the country. we embedded with texas dps as they were doing that. take a look at this video here in mission where we are. this is a texas trooper's body cam footage going in to the brush where illegals are trying to get away. obviously not willing to turn themselves in. you can see the trooper taking self migrants down and arresting them. then it's going to switch to the video that we shot. you can see a bigger perspective of the groups being arrested by the texas state troopers. most of them sink al adult men from mexico, honduras and el salvador. a cbp source said in the month of january alone, there were 48,000 known got-aways at our southern border. take a look at this video that we shot while with dps. this is here in mission. we came across a group of three chinese nationals that just crossed in to mission illegally. they said

some of the testimony is pretty stunning, stuff that we hear from bill melugin on the border all them the border chiefs, the border patrol chiefs is stunning. they testified that illegal immigrants they interviewed, after apprehension, believed u.s. immigration law and policy changed after president biden's election to the points that they believe, the illegal immigrants believe the border is open. now, that's completely different than what the administration portrays. >> john: it is, but in line with what illegal migrants have been telling griff jenkins and bill melugin and other folks on the border. >> bret: that's right, they have been saying exactly that, and that is the policy change and the signal, the bat signal that went out that said come, and that was a word used by candidate joe biden, come to the border, it's changed now in messaging. but the messaging has not got out to latin america and other places. >> john: i don't expect he will talk a lot in the state of the union, he's building as a conversation with the american people, expected to lean into the economy. but obama

>> guy: i think bill melugin would dispute that. harris: bill melugin has great hair. >> guy: that is my number one point, harris. >> tammy: we have the best hair here appearance but when i lost that one! [laughter] >> guy: it was yesterday on fox news and the colleagues made the point at this stage back in what would have been heading into 2012, 2011 president obama had not officially launched his bid but it took him a few more months. so we are all clamoring too much too soon to get an actual answer. i think that is a fair point, but they were two critical differences and the first one barack obama is not 80 at the time. >> harris: nor is he now. >> guy: exactly, he's got a long way to go to 80. so the age factor is real and the number we put on the screen, the number of democrats that don't want biden to run again. those are not what obama was facing. the construction from his wife in the white house, the president intends to run peer that is fine as a placeholder, but the longer they use this as a placeholder the latter of the q

if bill melugin and his gorgeous head of hair spend one important day on the southern border he getsree milk shake and a blowout. he can donate his heir to bald lions and why doesn't he? the border's a mess no doubt but now so is the sanctuary that is new york city. up until recently migrants were housed in an upscale hotel in midtown manhattan. a roof top pool, nice bar, fine furnitureings, you know, things jamie lissow will never have. ever. the city had plans to move the single illegal males from the hotel to a facility in brooklyn to make room for migrant families. but the men are not budging. so how's that for irony. we say to the male migrants, welcome to our country. and then they turn around and say, to incoming migrant families, go back to where you came from. so it appears that illegal immigrants are also vehemently against illegal immigration! the moment they get here, they turn from helpless refugee into ann colter. i am surprised they didn't start chanting build a wall, build a wall! my goodness this is amazing. so when buses showed up to haul the men away from a hotel t
