bill melugin is tracking the latest developments from our southern border. equently hear the white house say that the border is not open and that the border is secure, but we're going to show you some video and let our viewers decide what it's like down here. take a look at this, our team shot this in arizona where we watched as repeatedded illegal immigrants dressed in camouflage scaled down the border wall using ropes and then went running off into the desert without any apprehension. there are very few border patrol agents there to patrol this area. you'll see there are smugglerses on the wall guiding these migrants, these illegal immigrants into the united states, and some of these illegals have pin drops on their cell phones. once hay get into the desert, they run off and they're waiting to get picked up by human smugglers. take a look at this video from eagle pass, texas, earlier this morning. more crosses taking place this. the del rio sector has had about 1200 illegal crossings in the last 24 hours mostly from venezuela, honduras, mexico and guatemala

just in the last 72 hours, and bill melugin was in our city in san diego on friday and captured videof a border patrol agent, and i don't fault him, he's following the biden administration's edict, he told a migrant that he could go anywhere, that he's free to go, build played that video on fox news on friday in san diego, and he said, even to i can? and i'm thinking to myself, who in the held want to go to chicago as dangerous as it is. but the border patrol agent said yes, you are free to go, even to chicago. and, yet, if desantis or abbott sends snoun california they're hooting and hollering. >> trace: i want to put this up. here's biden's approval on the border this is without the media covering it. look at the numbers. 32% approve, 64% disapprove. that is a big number when half the media, or more than half the media is not even covering the topic. >> absolutely and it's ironic that it's taken this long for the democratic mayors to speak out because the only reason of course they're doing so is because now it's affecting their own funding and their own resources and that's the big

but first, bill melugin is live in mission, texas. more for us. what are you seeing there, bill?: sandra, good afternoon to you. it's the state of arizona getting hit hard right now, the tucson sector in particular. they are getting overwhelmed, upwards of 2,000 illegal crossings per day in that sector for the last three days in a row. we'll take you out there, take a look at this video. lukeville, arizona shooting this video as a large group of male migrants from africa crossed illegally into lukeville. you'll notice from the video, no women, no children. actually, guys, breaking news, send it back to you. >> sandra: all right, thank you very much, bill. back to you. >> john: bill melugin, thank you. well, it was highly anticipated and now it has happened. the federal government has just filed an indictment against hunter biden on that gun charge. david spunt has the latest from the doj. david. >> hey, john and sandra. four pages here, hunter biden, robert hunter biden indicted by the u.s. attorney, or special counsel david weiss based in wilmington, delaware. his office said it

let's go live to the border and add in the extraordinary coverage of our national correspondent, bill melugin, who has watched this play out and grow and grow over time to the level that we're at now. hi, bill. >> hi, martha. it's probably a good time to point out that president biden has made one single visit to the southern border in his entire political career. months ago he went to el paso, texas at a time when it was seeing little to no activity. miraculously, he didn't see a single migrant. he wants to see some, he can come to eagle pass any day of the week and get a feel for what's going on here. you can pull up the live drone and see the hundreds of people that just crossed and waiting in the shade to be processed by border patrol. most of them a majority, will be released in to the united states. to that point, i want to pull up this tweet that the border patrol union sent out. they said "from september 1 through september 20th, the biden administration ordered the release of more than 100,000 illegal border crashers. enough to double the population of cities like yuma, arizona. thin

bill melugin has been there his entire career at fox and seen the dire situation especially in eagles up close and personal. the sounding the alarm this week like never before. >> eagle pass, texas inundated this morning with one of the largest mass illegal crossings we've ever seen at the southern border. >> coming to a city, a school, a mall near you. my next guest took on the challenge of the border everyday under the trump administration. former secretary executive director of america first policy institute chad wolf. great to see you, i thought of you right away this administration from every angle was blaming you guys for breaking the border to rupturing the policies. you cause that, did you know that? [laughter] >> that's what the administration tells us. the clip you show that from president biden, what he should say is the last administration spent four years getting open border approach we head to the border under president obama and vice president biden. reversed that during the trump administration and they found back to it in the last 28 months of this administration so

our reporter bill melugin says many from venezuela and others arrived on a train from mexico, and there still migrants in the water crossing. that's what we've got going right now. jason still with us? okay. >> yes. stuart: jason, i'm sorry, we've got to move on but that is a developing story. that is huge. okay, we've got to take a short -- talking about the crime crisis running rampant in los angeles. just got a little more personal for fox news distributer leo terrell. what a story. he'll bring you that story -- we'll bring it to you after t this. i've spent centuries evolving with the world. that's the nature of being the economy. observing investors choose assets to balance risk and reward. with one element securing portfolios, time after time. gold. agile and liquid. a proven protector. an ever-evolving enabler of bold decisions. an asset more relevant than ever before. gold. your strategic advantage. stuart: all right. what you're looking at is a developing story of major proportions. this is important. on sunday, 7,500 migrants crossed the border in eagle pass, texas. on monday,

bill melugin posted a body being pulled from the rio grande in eagle pass this morning.ar-old boy died the day prior and 10-year-old last week. biden is enabling this, that is harsh to say. these are the results. >> chris: there is human cost of life and death. i'm in texas, this is real for us. texas spends $850 million a year on illegal immigration, it has gone so fast the tipping point in texas and i finally feel the country is waking up just a little. look at what is happening in new york. governor kathy hochul and mayor adams, bring them, come to new york, it is great. no, stop, come somewhere else, we can't take you anywhere. meanwhile, we have 1.4 million visas in the backlog, people who came the right way and pay to go to universities, master degrees, phds who have job offers to stay here. it keeps us globally competitive. my wife lilly, it took her 10 years to get citizenship in the united states. we have to close leaks at the border. if you want to get in the life boat, shut the leaks off first, that is the most basic principle and we're not doing it today. >>

bill melugin is now here with more . bill, they are hitting an area not hit in a while. arizona. >> they absolutely are. border patrol's tucson sector is inundated. these people are coming in from all over the world. show you video we just got in from our cameraman on the ground. this is lukeville, arizona an hour ago, a large group of men from africa just crossed over illegally into lukeville. as you look at the video there are no women, no children. these are all young guys who have literally come from half a world away to cross illegally and turn themselves in to border patrol with little to no fear of deportation. this lukeville area is getting a lot of men from senegal in recent days and getting groups like this multiple times a day every day. border patrol is overwhelmed. what is happening as a result. look at these images out of arizona yesterday, also tucson sector. these are border patrol outdoor holding areas for migrants. their cbp facilities are over capacity with so many illegal. street releases and running out of places to put the migrants. some are held ou

cartels continue to increase because every year they recruit 20,000 more. 10,000 is the number bill melugin gave us that crossed in a 24-hour period thachl is a jaw-dropping number. our correspondent at the white house tried to ask the white house press secretary about that. watch how she answered him. >> what do you call it at the white house when 10,000 people illegally cross the border in a single day? >> what do you call it, peter, when gop, wait, no, no, no. i'm answering. we'll move on. we're moving on. >> please, you said you were stopping flow at the border, 10,000 -- >> i tried to answer the question, you stopped me, let's go. >> steve: she answered a question with a question, peter started answering, she said she would go through. she did say to edward lawrence, blame the republicans because they can't get the spending bill passed. people down at the southern border because they are republicans. when you look at republicans, one of them increases border security. it ramps it up, builds a wall, hires 22,000 more custom and border patrol agents, of course she didn't mention that yes

we just had 7000 plus on tuesday, bill melugin tweeting that out. you saw yesterday in virgin island, border agents apprehended 26 migrants in the dr, coming from all over the globe. why? in unprecedented numbers. why? there is push and pull factor to migration. push is no jobs and poverty in the home country. they are caught, released and can get what they want and they are succeeding in record numbers because we are catching and releasing everybody to include criminals we are apprehending. just yesterday the chief putting out three child sex offenders. it is a daily occurrence. they are pushing for a work permit, number one magnet pulling the 177,000 plus in the numbers put out, it is unsustainable, absolute disaster and the fact the president wouldn't meet with governor kathy hochul tells you about the priorities of the white house. >> ashley: you have been to the border and know what is going on there. i know what is going on in new york city. it is a mess. i don't live in the city, nor would i want to right now, when i drive home everyday, ther
