the border. they have the laws to do it. they just won't. they want an open border. border security is national security. you're seeing that impact. you're seeing people come from more than a hundred different countries. a lot of those people aren't vetted. that doesn't even count the got-aways, the people that cross between the ports of entry that our border patrol professionals don't have time to stop because they're so busy processing more and more and. mr. moran: grants that come other -- more and more and more migrants that come here illegally under the biden policies. mr. hoeven: it's time to end the situation. border security is national security. with that, madam president, i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from can sasse. a senator: madam president, the border is not open. mr. marshall: the border is not open. that's what dhs secretary mayorkas told the american people repeatedly. i guess that's pretty easy to say when you're sitting in your office in washington, d.c.

our borders are not open. people who cross our border unlawfully and without a legal basis to remain will be promptly processed and removed. an individual who is removed under title 8 is subject to at least a five-year ban on re-entry into the united states and can face criminal prosecution if they attempt to cross again. smugglers have been long, hard at work spreading false information that the border will be open. they are lying. to people who are thinking of making the journey to our southern border, know this. smugglers care only about profits, not people. do not risk your life and your life savings only to be removed from the united states if and when you arrive here. our approach to build lawful, safe and orderly pathways for people to come to the united states, and impose tougher consequences on those who choose not to use those pathways works. president biden has led the largest expansion of lawful pathways in decades. people from cuba, haiti, venezuela, and nicaragua, have arrived through lawfully av

this impacts the entire country not just border state. -- border states. but if you are in texas, you are on the tip of the spear. el paso and -- have declared states of emergency because they know what is coming may 11. these cities are being overrun and having more capacity than they can handle. crime is up, and it is out of control. i will turn it over to john here and a second, and he can talk about texas. with the biden administration, what the hell has to happen for you to change policy. at what point are you going to take this seriously? americans are under siege here, you are sitting all everyone is burning in america. what we hope to do, is to beg and plead with this administration. i've asked it -- i've asked democrats to join the effort to not repeal title 42 may 11. it's been used 2.2 million times to expel people who came here illegally. that authority comes -- goes away three. it's not like it doesn't matter, it's been used by the administration probably more than any tool in the toolbox. and they are taking out of the toolbox one of the most

of the border guards, this is in the mozyr border detachment of the border guard of the hero of the sovietant colonel ankudinov ivan andreevich and in the lida border detachment and the unit bears the name or was given the name of corporal krylov fyodor gavrilovich these are the border guards who unfortunately died in years of the great patriotic she is performing tasks. e ivan andreechenko. kudinov distinguished himself at the initial stage of the great patriotic war, leading border units in the pripevtsky, woodland. e, they acted very successfully . indeed, as you know, they say in the hall of fame for all belarusians unconditionally. this pantheon is such our frontier, you know, i want to ask you a question, because in fact. today we we thank you absolutely sincerely, because thanks to you we have a restful sleep, after all. and so, while we are sleeping, you are guarding there somewhere, and you serve here for the society, but seriously speaking, here are the qualities that a border guard should have in general. that's the hardest part about your job. what you need to be prepared for,

and he said well, the border is open. the border is open.gally they know that the border is open for business despite the fact he keeps saying it's closed. the raÚl ortiz said in march of this year it is open and it continues to be the case and only getting worse. >> bret: looking live in tijuana at the wall there on the other side and there is a lot of aspects to this. the "wall street journal" editorial board says joe biden's immigration calamity hard to recall how we got here. democrats campaigned policies as cruel upon taking office. president biden ended such trump era policies as remain in mexico. the signal went out to migrants that the border essentially open. if you entered the u.s. and claimed asylum the chances were good you would be date for tribunal you may never have to show up for. millions of migrants took the hint and came in record numbers bottom line, meredith we are a long way away from a solution. the politics of this heading into an election is going to be pretty significant. >> the biden administration was anticipating

the border patrol.ts oppose the bill because it lack as plan to deal with those in the country illegally right now. >> i thought we would work together in a bipartisan way on those pieces. instead of trying to same 30-year-old statgy of cruel methods that continues to destroy legal pathways and violate our values. we all know those simply don't work. >> border district democrats of arizona criticized how the administration handled title 42. he says the government should assist border towns teal with the surge of migrants. some republicans say both sides need to forge an agreements on a comprehensive bill. >> to me, it's only a start. until the president sign as bill in to law, all of this is theater. a lot of people are good at political theater. in my district, we're dealing with a real crisis. >> now this is the second big win for kevin mccarthy since late april. he passed the debt ceiling bill also by a narrow margin. >> neil: chad, i'm curious. you said they delayed the debt ceiling measure because

in past to secure america's border. it's a time when our borders have never been less secure you had the home and security today secretary mayorkas said the border is not open 10000 people coming across the border is open, i hate to say what you think is an open border crisis that needs to be fixed, the house didn't sit around waiting on the secretary for the president to do their job even though they failed. we took action to protect every community in america that now border town. the devastation from our open border is affecting every community 300 people in america will die from drug overdoses related to the fentanyl coming across our open southern border because of president biden's failure. when with the president stand up to stop those debts? those debts don't matter to president biden, thematic to us. it's long past time to set senate to do something to address this crisis. long past time for president biden secretary mayorkas to do something to address this crisis. we are not going to stop working for those fam

it isn't a border area today. there is no border.nd if there is no border with mexico, then there is no border with mexico. people are found, some are not found, some are stopped for a period of time, but few are turned away and not turned away because we simply have a policy of letting everyone one. i represent a major agricultural district with ranching and farming and guess what, with all those millions of people that this administration has deliberately allowed to come in without being invited, without an application, we still have a shortage because of the policies of simply catch and release with parole. but i'll tell you what else my district is dealing with, we are dealing with enough fentanyl seized last year, 117,000 pounds if divided equally, it would kill every person in america in one dose. just last week the california highway patrol seized $21 million worth of fentanyl well into the united states on its way to l.a. that would be enough fentanyl to kill every resident of san diego. that's what we are dealing with becaus

the challenge that we are encountering at our southern border is by no means unique to the southern bordered states, and i have learned that powerfully, not only through the information and analysis that we undertake in the united states government, but in our conversations with our foreign partners, just this week i spoke with the foreign secretary of panama. last week i spoke with the president of guatemala. three weeks ago i was in panama to speak with the panamanian foreign minister and the colombian foreign minister. we are engaged and of course secretary blinken is leading the diplomatic engagements. diplomacy is a key pillar of our effort. >> the question is i want to focus in on black migrants from africa and the caribbean nations, who has met with president biden on this issue and other civil rights leaders said that the lifting of title 42 suppresses black asylum seekers who are required to ask for asylum in countries they transit through. many of those countries are too dangerous for black migrants to request asylum, and she gives the example of the african americans who travel

what border is he talking about? cuba's border? i have no idea if he knows just how bad this problem is. he created it, president biden created it, they don't want to solve the problem. we are bringing a bill today, we will pass just in the next few hours off the house floor that will secure america's border and the president opposes that bill so. that tells you exactly where the biden administration is. they want an open border, they created an open border, secretary mayorkas knows it, he's not shooting straight with the american people. the people see a wide open border, 5 million minimum coming in the last two years since he's been president and only worse. drug problems, 300 young kids a day dying in america from fentanyl and other drugs coming over our open southern border because of joe biden's policies. they don't care about this problem, house republicans are taking action to fix it. time the senate and the president get engaged in the fight. >> sandra: leader scalise, great to have you and see you. a team put together a ch

of the border. just last month border patrol chief ortiz testified, testified that d.h.s. does not have operational control of the border. because the drug cartels have operational control of the border. i know that. i have been down there. i have seen this movie before, but this is the worst movie i've seen and it didn't have to happen. it was a self-inflicted wound. that is because on day one, the biden administration rescinded the migrant protection protocols known as remain in mexico. in my many meetings with border patrol agents down on the border, they tell me very bluntly that the rescission of these policies by president biden on the very first day in office has had a direct cause and effect on the chaos at the border. this policy was working under the last administration. the illegal immigration was dramatically declining. however, since president biden took office in january of 2021, we are witnessing a massive increase in illegal immigrant encounters and apprehensions at our southern bord

at the southern border. the binding administration for their part have done very little one way or the other on title 42 or immigration policy more broadly. but what biden has done only recently adding a clause to $242.00, stating that anyone from us cuba, haiti, or new cut off was crossing illegally on the land border would be an automatic return fighter. and also began or reckoning margaret camp facilities across southern texas. where you are, how do you read this administration stance on legal migration? it's been a difficult couple of years for them because they really haven't done very much on it. of course, everything that trump did is automatically bad. so, you know, obviously the type of 42 was not something they were interested until january in fact. and that's when that's when the button and mistress and started to move on title $42.00 and started to try to strengthen it and add additional countries that's eligible to be deported upon illegal arrival to the us. the question of why they haven't done

the current situation at the border. my colleagues across the aisle have refused to hold the biden administration accountable. i have watched the border fall into the hands and completely ignored the disaster that has gotten worse by the day. this must end today. the american people are fed up. this is a national security that must be addressed immediately. i encourage my colleagues to pass this very important legislation. and i want to close by addressing the patriots serving on the front lines of this crisis with no support or appreciation from this administration. many of us have visited the border and have seen firsthand the work our customs and border protection officers and agents do every single day to risk their lives for this great country. to the officers and agents on the ground dealing with this crisis, on behalf of the american people, we appreciate you, we support you, and we have your back. mr. speaker, with that, i again urge my colleagues to support h.r. 2, and i yield back the balance of my time. the sp

can you say that the us border is secure? oh, this border�*s not secure right now.ng our best in texas to make sure that it is. but i can tell you, other states are not having as much success as we are. this problem stretches well beyond texas, right along the 2,000—mile us border. the government will now insist migrants apply for asylum long before they reach here, and will swiftly expel and exclude anyone who tries to get in without following their new procedures. it remains to be seen. it's going to be chaotic for a while. chaotic it certainly is with a surge in illegal crossings. once they've been detained, these migrants can ask for asylum. but those who've been refused will now face much tougher penalties. sarah smith, bbc news, juarez. so that's the view on this side of the border. let's cross now to mexico city to speak to our correspondent will grant for the view from there. there seems to be some confusion still about what the end of title 42 might mean. what's the feeling where you are, and what might happen come midnight, especially among migrants themse

if you wanted to close the border, secure the border we know how to do it. obviously joe biden chose a different policy. what scared me the days i'm here and five innocent people killed including an 8 year old, this guy probably went back to mexico. but what should shock the conscience of every american, be deported and come back not once, not twice, not three times, not four times but five times. that only happens if you have wide open borders. >> absolutely right. this would not happen under trump administration. this guy was a fugitive, right? he entered the country illegally after being deported five times which means five felonies. he has several dui convictions, being a fugitive and -- being dui conviction he would have been priority. ice would have been looking for him, arresting him and putting him in prison for violation of the reentry act which is a felony. under the bide biden administration, he put 85% of the criminals that the deported him, this administration took him off the table. 8% 5% of they can no longer arrest. didn't have to die. now he

right now i am fairly close to the border i am not on the border but i'm fairly close. host: can you explain a little bit, we heard a lot of scenarios that were supposed to happen at stemming the end of title 42, give us your sense of what is going on since then. guest: when we were on the border of the day it was supposed to end there were more than 170,000 people that were camped out ready to cross the border en masse mass. what we saw and what we witnessed with the people that were crossing the border as they were being interviewed was that the mexican military and the cartels were metering the number of people. they recognized that it was going to be very bad for business if they would have crashed the border like was expected. now what we have seen is metering start to taper off and the numbers go back up. if you look at the numbers right now, the numbers are still four times higher than what they should be. if you look back at the obama administration, secretary johnson, he said it was a very bad day if we apprehended 1000 people. right now we are anywhere between

>> yeah, i spoke with the head of border patrol, raul ortiz yesterday and they believe at border patrol, the worst is over, they believe this is the surge for title 42, coming before it actually ends. he was saying he doesn't expect to hit the 18,000 apprehensions per day. we saw 11,000 yesterday. they think we will be in the clear, we are climaxing now and will be better than the last few days. >> ashley: just for el paso? >> we're talking nationwide. >> todd: okay. do you agree with that, based upon what you are seeing on the ground and the feel one can get when reporting from a communities, do you agree with that statement? >> you know, i think in el paso, we've seen new spots where people are crossing, groups of several hundred or 2010 miles outside of town the other day and probably where they will keep crossing. i think there is a rush to get in, speaking with venezuelan immigrants at the church yesterday, they said they want in before title 42 ends, after title 42 you get arrested at the borders, you are banned for five years from seeking to get in. >> todd: to follow-up quickly,

people need to understand this is not just a border problem. it is not a border problem anymore. it is an american problem that will affect us for many, many years to come. >> harris: i want our team to pop that graphic back up of the countdown until title 42 ends. just how little time we have now until what we see on our screens with all of the fox flight images telling us in detail what this is going to be like. one day, 12 hours, 50 minutes. that is pretty unbelievable, 36 hours from now what could happen. i want to ask you about this, art. texas governor abbott has bused thousands of people from his state to self-proclaimed sanctuary cities like chicago, new york, philadelphia, washington, d.c., which is a district, not a city. he promises there will be many more on way. i can understand from what you are telling me now why that would be. where would you put all these people? i would imagine they don't want to stay in a state where they could possibly be caught more readily because it is obvious they're there. they fan out all over and now the governor says i need help and i'
