republican colleagues chose senator james lankford, my partner on the homeland security border supplement committee. we have worked together over five years on strong border policy. senator lankford has joined me at the arizona border to see the crisis firsthand. senator lankford is an incredibly smart, earnest, conservative lawmaker. i know he was chosen by his conference because of his expertise and knowledge of border security policy and his reputation as a serious conservative lawmaker who cares deeply about getting policy right. as we started the negotiations, senator lankford laid out four policy pillars the republican needed to secure the border. number one, asylum. raise the asylum standard and close the loopholes so cartels and economic migrants can no longer exploit the system. number two, safe third country. ensure that people who have lived safely in another country don't bag backlog our system because they do not qualify for asylum. number three, close the border, create a title 42-like authority to shut down the system when our system is backlogged and overwelcomed. number four, parol

host: representative delia ramirez, serves on the committee on border security and enforcement and serves the third district of illinois. thank you for your time. guest: thank you. host: this story breaking in the course of our program this morning. alexei navalny, a fierce anti-corruption campaigner who gal vabbized critics, died in prison. the cause of his death still being established. he had been serving sentences in a penal colony amounting to more than 30 dwhreerns various charges. he was 47 years old. he had been behind bars since january of 2021 when he returned to russia from germany where he was recovering after falling ill in a flight inside russia. doctors concluded at the time he had been poisoned with soviet era nerve gas. navalny blamed the poisoning on the kremlin which denied involvement and any attempt to harm him. it's open forum. area caller: a big bark out your team sanity. i'd like to talk about popular conservative economic policy. it's responsible for the eight point just 30 -- $33 trillion debt we have right now. for starters, tax cuts have never paid for themselv

border twice. we care and you want to talk, chair, alluded to how we treat each other on the committee. here's been accusations on democrats. we don't care. that's not true. we listened, we had a conversation. let's talk about the jurisdiction. we held 17 hearings, 17 on the border and this impeachment is part of that. we have held zero, zero, i repeat full committee hearings dedicated to emergency preparedness, cyber threats, infrastructure protection, transportation security, department of homeland security management or information sharing intelligent efforts with the global dynamic that we have, we have not lived up to our oversight obligation here on this committee because you all are obsessed with the border because you bend your knee to the orange jesus as you refer to him across the aisle. that's what this is about and we have failed, failed our jurisdiction on this committee, so i'm tired of being -- i tried to listen here, i tried to be the a team player, i really do, i try not to engage in partisanship but i've had it. i've listened to a lot of accusations here today. we are h

border. the homeland security committee was told that border chiefs believe that they are letting in chinesenow there was a major cover-up of covid, and we know that they've been stealing intellectual property for decades. are any of these things reasons that joe biden allowed and he got paid for them? >> it certainly looks that it could be that way, maria. look, you throw in him canceling the china initiative which you and i have talked about on your show before, and what we see is a president that has a china first, america last policy. and that doesn't make any sense. so we want to know, is the president compromise. if you look at the foreign corrupt practices act, it defines what constitutes a bribe and giving gifts and excessive payments to family members would constitute a bribe. maria: yeah. okay. >> so joe biden has a lot of explaining to do, and that's what we e hope to find out in our next three major depositions. maria: mr. chairman, real quick before with you go, you could not get it over the finish line to impeach alejandro mayorkas. i believe congressman steve scalise is coming

the law and clearly on the very case of -- coming from texas, one of the few in this committee, going to the border more times than i can imagine, we have an actual standoff right now at the border between the federal government and one single state acting against the authority of the federal government, violating the law. her secretary is being impeached, allegedly, for willfully violating the law. that particular case indicated initially that the states in question, texas and louisiana, should not have standing. this is not a willful violation of the law when you have a secretary trying to step in. breach of public trust. give him the law. give him the senate bill. give him comprehensive immigration reform and there will be a lot to discuss. this is a maga pathway, repeating what a presidential candidate is telling you to do. to the american people, this is not what you are asking us to do. you are asking us to have an administration that works. the secretary have said that his administration is removed more migrants in three years than the prior administration in four years. since may 12, dhs ha

formed, then a general budget is formed , the first union programs are developed , a security committee, border committees are created, in general, everything is done to ensure that belarusians and russians are not foreigners to each other. by the way, in ninety-eight our colleagues from the television and radio broadcasting organization of the union state began working. it is still the main media resource of the two countries whose audience is about 64 million people in russia and belarus. december 25, 1998 will also be remembered for a number of important documents : the declaration on further unification, an agreement on equal rights of citizens, agreements on creating equal conditions for business. but what is fundamentally important: the partnership is built on the principles of unconditional preservation of state sovereignty and territorial integrity. let's not lie, all of this. it took a lot of effort on both sides, there were disputes and compromises, a fateful decision was made on december 8, 1999, an agreement was signed in moscow about the creation of a union state, and this is a phe

i wish members of the committee would spend time discussing the need for immigration reform both at the border area and also up and down the legal immigration system. i hope the people on this committee will look at the dignity act and find it in there economic interest to support that. so, let me turn to you, what does congress's continued inaction on immigration mean in terms of the number of people that will continue to make the dangerous trip to our southern border because we don't have legal options for them? >> that is an excellent question. inc. if you work on the dignity act, it is a good first that. >> it is not a perfect bill. there are things i love and things i hate, which is what we are going to have to do if we ever get a bipartisan immigration bill passed. >> i applaud that spirit. in answer to your question, as we are with the framework in the 1990s of immigration, if someone wants protection, what are their choices right now? there maybe 20,000 spots per refugee program, tiny central america migrants program miners program, some tiny humanitarian parole programs. and family re

i am on the border security committee. i am on the immigration subcommittee. i am on homeland security. yes, i will be a part of that process of solving the problem. but i will not jeopardize the legal immigration system that some may wish to push forward. i caution my republican friends that they be more open to a plan and not listen and be driven to directions by the former president of the united states who indicates that everything he stands on is about his election in 2024. it's not about solving the problem. not helping the american people or slow migration. it is his election and his victory. that is not meeting [ inaudible ] we must safeguard the families and ensure that systems work governed by the federal government and not individual states. that's just -- >> yeah, congresswoman sheila jackson-lee of texas, we will leave it there. thank you for being with us this sunday. >> thank you for having me. >>> coming up, we finally know which u.s. city will host the 2026 fifa world cup final. the official tournament schedule next. i'm daniel lurie and i've

2022, this was a court and policy decision and coming from texas, one of the few on this committee, going to the borderore times than i can imagine, we have an actual standoff right now at the border between the federal government and one single state acting against the authority of the federal government, violating the law and our secretary is being impeached allegedly for willfully violating the law that doesn't exist. that particular case indicated initially that the states in question, texas and louisiana, did not have standing. this is not a willful violation of the law when you have a secretary trying to step in to find space to do his job. the breach of public trust, where is the willful or habitual neglect to perform the duties of office. give him the law, give him the senate bill, discuss compromise and voted on. give him comprehensive immigration reform and there will be a law to discuss. there is none. this is a maga pathway of vengefulness, a repeating what a presidential candidate is asking you to do. to the american people, this is not what you're asking us to do. you' asking us to have a

border to reach historical levels. as someone who is both a federal prosecutor, chairman of homeland and now this committee, every major port of entry is covered under this program. yet, one rescission, one stroke of the pen, ended this successful program and allowed this chaos at the border to reach these levels, historic levels. so in my many meetings with order patrol agents at the border, and i've been there many times, they tell me very bluntly, when i say, was there cause and effect, they say, yes, sir, yes, mr. chairman. they tell me very bluntly the rescission of this policy had a direct cause and effect on the chaos at the border. the sad thing is, we had the policies and they were working, over 25 years were spent on this and i never thought we would actually see it fixed. the sad thing is, we had it fixed and now it's absolutely devastating. we need to turn off the pull factor, the magnet driving this that will also shutdown the cartels. mpp did that. under mpp, u.s. apprehensions of migrants at the southern border fell by 62% from may, 2019 to august 2019. imagine that, a 62% decrease from just may to augus

mother who lost her daughter because of our open borders is more qualified to speak on this issue than any of us here today. for almost a year committee democrats have turned a blind eye to the victims of the border crisis while paradings as for spending with the dilley was too much time investigating secretary mayorkas' handling of the border. let me repeat that. democrats have paraded us over and over spending too much time investigating secretary mayorkas' border crisis. keep that in mind when you hear them claimed today that this impeachment is some of rushed. the truth is that this process has been painstakingly thorough. we made sure of it. our intent was to be fair, comprehensive and meticulous. unlike house democrats we take the use of impeachment extremey seriously. i am proud of the work my republican colleagues have put him through our five days investigation. we've uncovered a lot. phase one, of our investigation documented multiple laws, court orders in rulings that secretary mayorkas disregarded, ignored or abuse, and the dozens of times he is been dissed arms with both congress and the american people. in phase twod e w

i personally like matt gallagher, to see numbers coming across the border and be head of select committee on china and not be able to vote for impeachment with person overseeing the border is tone deaf to republican voters, that is why you see this split within the party. i am hoping as they prosecute the case, they unify and come up with a cohesive message that is reflective of what voters are saying, not just republican, independent and some democrats. >> brian: so wrong for democrats, if -- unless your name is henry cuellar. henry cuellar is only democrat that said the border is broken and i want to fix it and no one wants to talk to him on the left. the cbp tells bill melugin, they are seeing more -- how do you get out of china, pack a bag, grab your family, land in south america and walk across in that society? i don't know if you heard, they tend to be oppressive in china, if they don't want you to leave, you usually can't. i get it. my sense is there is something else going on here. >> steve: perfect argument why we have seen so many. in fiscal year 2021, only 450 chinese in all an

border daily. those are the ones we know about. there is another one .8 million known got a ways that should concern every member of this committee and every american. today's border security system is unrecognizable from the america first border security policies of the trump administration. in all candor, the biden administration is the first administration in my lifetime of either political party to take steps to diminish the security along our southern border. one such example is the termination of the highly successful migrant protection protocols remain in mexico. in 2008 and 2000 18 and 2019 the trump administration was confronted with caravans of illegal aliens approaching the border including family units from the triangle country surging to the border and making fraudulent asylum claims at the hopes they would be released into american communities. misguided court rulings a limited the time we could detain those family units even though we knew across the board close to 90% apprehended at the border were making fraudulent claims. unwilling to perpetuate the destructive catch and release policy, dhs worked in tandem with the

regulating migration were to be bought by more border patrol agents, more ice prison beds, more advances of technologies that are being deployed at committeesss the border on a regular basis, then we would have bought that solution along time ago. but the reality is, so long as people have the desire to get to the united states, so long as people have families and friends already in the united states, and so long as people are able to begin those lives they dream up in the united states by getting to work soon after arriving -- which we all know is exactly what happens in cities and towns large and small across this country -- whether those migrants have the federal government permission or not, that people are going to be coming. if elected officials want to find out who is coming to the united states, to ensure there is an orderly migration process, then they need to open up lawful pathways into the united states. the bill that was introduced in congress would have begun to move in that direction, not nearly enough, those positive attributes really overshadowed by some of the policing focus approaches and the clampdown on asylum. what hap
