their opposition to border funding by claiming that border patrol doesn't want more funding, but that is blatantly false. in interviews with the committeerder patrol chiefs unequivocally supported more resources. republicans know that. they were in the realm and they have the transcripts. but let me refresh their memory. jason owens, currently the chief of the border patrol said, we always need more agents. chief in tucson and an agency, we need a lot more, a lot more people. from chief in san diego, we all need resources and technology. in el centro, the additional resources is the correct technology with control of the board. and finally, in el paso, providing support for critical positions and resources by congress really does impact positively the deployment of agents to the frontline. everyone of these chiefs told the committee that having more resources would help them better secure the border. republicans go to the border in dress pants and polo shirts to pose for pictures, but then leave the hard-working agents in uniforms and work boots behind without the resources they ask for. democrats want to give border agents what they ne

let's not forget that my republican colleagues forced their border view, hr2, to this committee, withoutering any -- resulting in the bill full of unworkable provisions that would create chaos on the southwest border. they know as well as anyone that hr2 never had a chance of becoming law. senate republicans then it -- democrats are working together in a bipartisan matter and with direct involvement of secretary mayorkas. to try to fix the issues raised here today. yet instead of joining that conversation, and using the powers of the congress to create change, house republicans are pursuing a partisan impeachment effort that will achieve nothing. perhaps this is because a bipartisan reform bill will take away republican clinical target point. is one republican member told cnn earlier this month, he has no interest in trying to pass border legislation that might help joe biden's approval rating. and that is really what this impeachment sham is all about. political gain to make it seem like the do-nothing republican caucus achieved something while attacking the biden administration. is the

every state is a border state, so the committee will mark up those articles of impeachment and work uprocess to bring them to the floor. democrats are refusing to hold joe biden accountable for this border crisis that joe biden and his cabinet have created. maria: which is why you sent a meter to kathy hochul, the governor of new york. you want action on the northern board as well. >> yes. we've seen an 800% increase in the swanson sector, the part of the northern border that the i represent, of illegal crossings. and kathy the hochul was not included in the governors who are providing support for the southern border. meanwhile, she's begging for releaf despite the fact that new york is a sanctuary state and new york city is a sanctuary city where democrats rolled out the red carpet. it's at an issue not just on the southern border, but the northern border as a well. and this is having real impacts on people's lives, maria. just last week we saw a high school in new york city sent kids home, sent u.s. students home to house illegal immigrants. this is a catastrophe. voters will, and we

border. house committee found its first impeachment hearing for secretary mayorkas earlier today, republicansillegal immigrations. democrats have acknowledged the crisis at the border and saying mayorkas hasn't violated any laws. julia, what happened at today's hearing in. >> reporter: well, it was a lot of back and forth, of course when you have republicans blaming secretary mayorkas for what they're seeing at the border, talking about record border numbers, fentanyl coming across the border. they brought in state attorney generals that aren't on the border but have been impacted. the democrats continue to fact-check and really come down to the fact whatever policy differences republicans might have, they still not sub substantiate a call for impeachment. in fact, democrats called a witness a constitutional lawyer and professor who says there's never been an impeachment quite like this, the only cabinet level secretary to be impeached was under the grant administration a clear line that he had taken $20,000 in bribes to appoint someone to a position, we're in unchartered territory here and a

border. our committee chair, mark green, has done a tremendous job and as shown to the american people there'sl to comply with the law and abuse of power in the position as secretary of homeland security. you have a wide open border. it is the number one issue for americans across the country and it's not just the border states, maria, who are impacted. it's my home state of new york as well. every state is a border state. what's most telling is democrats are refusing to hold joe biden accountable for this border crisis that joe biden and his cabinet have created. maria: joining me right now is former federal prosecutor, former acting i.c.e. director and former dhs assistant secretary, jonathan fay hey. more than 300,000 people apprehended in december alone compared to 405,000 in the entire year of the trump administration's final year. we've gone from a very secure border to a complete open ended situation. your assessment? >> yeah, you're exactly right. it's a complete and utter catastrophe and it is, as elise stefanik said, this has been willful. remember, biden campaigned on basically an o

homeland security committee debated well into the night to recommend two articles of impeachment against mayorkas for a willful and systemic refusal to enforce immigration laws at the border committee republicans voted in favor all democrats were united against the impeachment articles, mayorkas has argued that problems at the border predate his leadership of the agency. the full house could vote on the secretary's impeachment as soon as next week , coming up at 11 and oakland lgbt bar says it's being forced to close because its landlord won't renew its lease. >> why? they say the closure is only temporary and what the landlord has told them needs to happen in order for them to get a new lease. >> a couple record high temperatures again today, third day in a row, and then we've got this rain to talk about. it's going to get pretty aggressive as we get into tomorrow afternoon. i'll have the timeline back here, but first a ruling today regarding tesla ceo elon musk and a major compensation package from the company. lon musk received back in 2018. now, the ruling is the result of a lawsuit filed by shareholder owners arguing that the pay package was dictated by musk and was

every state is a border state, the committee will markup the articles of impeachment and work to the ocess to bring them to the floor, i think what's most telling democrats are refusing to hold joe biden accountable for the border crisis, joe biden and his cabinet have created. lisa: democrats refusing to hold joe biden accountable, how is equitably politically. tomi: let's be fair, republicans that are refusing to hold joe biden accountable, feels like were listening to this on a loop for the last three years, republicans say the board is a problem in the border needs to be close and the laws need to be enforced, everybody is giving us a dereliction of duty, we hear this over and over like a broken record. i love the republicans say it. it took this long for this impeachment in the inquiry to even, when it comes to mayorkas, that's been promised for many, many months. i think the american people are also sick of republicans in congress talking about this. it doesn't seemed like they have the will or the votes or the support within themselves to get it done and then you look at texas
