external border that is supposed to be no border at this point that's the good friday agreement it means peace in the region has to be sort of capped and guarded so what we hear from british sources is that britain is giving way and that this border is going to run in the irish sea it's going to be sort of invisible and border checks will have to be happening on the british side in the ports and on the coast there so that would be a big step it would mean that the e.u. gets pretty much what it wanted 2 and a half years ago when they started out in these negotiations then this was called the northern island only backstop a special solution for northern ireland so it seems boris johnson might be sort of going back to that but nothing is for sure yet so we shouldn't be sort of too excited yet they have 5 more hours until midnight to find out whether they really do have a deal and yes we will of course watch and to stay on the ball here. in brussels thank you. just a reminder the top story international pressure is growing on turkey to halt its offensive against kurdish forces in northern sy

how many troops does the mexican government have on those borders, both in the southern border of mexico its northern border with us. >> this president's administration, the innovative approaches you just talked about. mexico, they are work was as true partners, seeing this as a regional crisis. they have 25,000 troops dedicated to this, both at the southern border, the u. much mexico border and the interior of mexico. in may we had 40-50 large caravans making their way to our border, overwhelming our system. last month we had one because of mexico's efforts. it's unprecedented support. they are joining us as true partners in this because of this administration. lou: i want to quote the director of immigration and customs enforcement if we can hear this, on sanctuary cities. >> i tell them, sanctuary jurisdiction, their elected and appointed leaders are making them less safe. >> straightforward and to the point. i know you agree. he's a true leader. he's a true patriot. he dedicated his entire adult life to protecting this country. he's absolutely 100% correct. lou: i have got to ask you

border. host: you have a couple pieces in cq weekly. we mentioned borderline despair, how the u.s. is warehousing asylum-seekers. you write about the policy of the trump administration, what is called the remain in mexico policy. why was that developed and what did you see as the net effects of that on your trip there? guest: the policy was implemented in january and it was designed to allow asylum-seekers to apply for asylum, but they had to do it by applying at a port of entry either if they crossed illegally or applied lawfully or presented themselves lawfully at a port of entry, but they were forced to go back to mexico and wait as their case was being processed. ,hen it first was implemented only a few people were being sent back. because of a lot of federal court decisions in april and -- more thancy 40,000 asylum-seekers were sent back to mexico and this caused problems in the mexican government and border cities on the border because you have these migrants flooding into these cities,
