what percentage of border patrol is say hispanic? >> about 56%. >> 56%. over half. >> i.c.e. not only that latino, and a vast majority are are ex-service members these serve their nation of military and when they got out they chose this continue to serve their nation and put that catalog best on every day and gun and defend this nation from the border. >> isn't it strange then to suggest that the people who were doing these jobs and people who are supervisors and directors are racist? >> they have no argument for the position on these issues so they throw the race card out. >> now, i.c.e. -- what percentage of i.c.e. is hispanic when you guess? >> i think there's last i knew i think it was close to 40%. give or take. again -- in a lot of ex-military a lot of people who have chosen to serve their country for their life. these are american heros. theseth are people that don't me a lot of money. and they put themselves in harm's way every day for this nation, and every day they wake up. and hear from democratic leadership that they're n

we've done it with the help of border patrol. we've done it with the help of kevin and all of you great people, mark. we still want them to do it because it would be a little bit easier, but congress wouldn't do it. when i say congress, the democrats wouldn't do it. now we have a world-class security system at the border, including the highest technology. i would think there is no place like this anywhere. there's no place that has anything like. this or even close a lot of places have guards. unfortunately they have machine guns and electrified fences. you touch them menu get electrocuted. we don't do that -- you touch them and you get electrocuted. we don't do that. but this is equally difficult to get across. [indiscernible] pres. trump: we had a very low fencing here. you were here before, i think. it was like a sheet-metal. people would not it over routinely -- would knock it over routinely. we had areas with even less than that, and then we had areas where we had nothing. just a pipe along the ground, and that sort of stopp

and all-concrete wall would've been a much less expensive wall to build from the standpoint of border patrol, they were very much opposed to it. go ahead. >> is a mention, our agents patrol around these walls and as they get closer to that, being able to see the threat through the wall prior to a rock coming over the fence or something else coming over the fence at them, we appreciate it. >> i understood -- sort of interesting, it was envisioned may be a solid concrete wall that would've been easy to do but every time i had a meeting with the border patrol, with ice, everybody involved with kevin, mark, they said we have to be able to see through it. if you don't see through this thing is not going to work, it's not going to be a good situation. they even talk about things were somebody would be walking on one side of the wall and they would throw up bags of drugs that way a hundred pounds, they would catapult it up and over the wall and it was -- we had instances where people got hit on the other side because you don't seem was over there, so having the wall -- it's more expensive, but it's

border patrol is overwhelmed and i.c.e. is overwhelmed. >> these are hidden costs and it's not like a viral photo. there's other types of victims of crime that we cannot know about it at the place is like the aurora i.c.e. facilities are in an in criminal aliens like you say being searched across the border and enabled. they are waiting for everyday americans across the country there is no space from the open borders. >> host: you couldn't be more right, the mayor from the small town. 50, 60,000 miles from the border would be an impact that we are seeing all sorts of terrible thingthings in consequences and abuses by people that are coming here illegally from the northern triangle. i'm glad you made that point, but i think that we should pick it up to big business. your book is open borders incorporated. it is a correlation and a tied to the business community. you know, one of the things that i said before is i think we should be -- it's wrong to stand on the rio grande with this sign them kind of a help wanted sign and we

the majority of the border patrol officers are engaged with and i believe statistical truth are hispanic.theyare hispanic americans along the border who believe that border is part of our sovereignty the rule of law matters. that's why people seek to come here. that would be one point in the second point is with respect to this racist charge, how is it somehow good for people of any color to be abused on a journey coming here and have open borders that then empowers the very illegal organizations we discussed earlier the show and how is that a good thing from a race standpoint at all. i wonder if you have thoughts on those points. >> on the first point i absolutely agree with you and i cut my teeth this paper journalism in los angeles in the early 1990s. not only did i report on the perspective of american citizens and law-abiding immigrants who were early warning about immigration chaos in that state and trying to take control of it back then, but of course had started building up many forces both in the border patrol and i.c.e. then i moved up to the seattle times and was able to see the pe

border patrol sector. on top of those bureaucrats, it creates even more to sit on a border oversight panel. the icing on the cake, the legislation gives the ombudsman no real authority to resolve any issues. this bill does nothing to address the root causes of the current humanitarian crisis on the southern border. in fact, i have introduced six bills to get to the root of the problem, none of them have been heard in judiciary committee. but instead their bills make up -- made up of policy provisions that cater to illegal immigrants and undermine our law enforcement at the border, thus weakening our national security. put simply, my democratic colleagues' answer to our border crisis is to create a taxpayer funded complaint box for illegal immigrants and it has no power to the ombudsman, gives no power to them. the second bill, h.r. 3525, throws each more taxpayer money at programs that will do nothing for the border security americans demand. it even jeopardizes our national security by requiring the depart

this president has delivered to the experts to the border patrol, to the leadership. ask what they need it. one of the key things that they said they need it, was the wall. this is noticeable that is being just built right now. it is the wall system. access roads in technology and lighting. when asked the leadership, universally has said the wall works. it's been used in the past, history shown the numbers go down. fact in history show that. we have been staying for a very long time that experts have been staying when they were asked buy the president, this bowl is absolutely need it to safeguard and secure our southern border. part of it but we have been staying, and a multilayered approach. infrastructure and personnel, where that is unlimited and effective and strategic location, it works. the exports say it works. the exports say and have been asking for this. this president and this ministration has delivered and they were continuing to deliver. as we stated from the beginning, that wall to the enter go part of that multilayer strategy, and closing, president tru

and we had one border patrol agent laid in the brush for a week straight because he was worried about that stretch of border. knew they were using families to defort resources he layed in that stretch of brush and caught that load. i called him and talked to him about howed dedicated he was to sit there a shift snaf seven days in a row before we got the load. we know what's happening. they are using families to defort resources and bring drugs behind them and the border wall changes that dynamic. >> what other resources do our agents need to combat this drug smuggling epidemic. >> we need better aviation surveillance. we have asked for surveillance sensors in the 2020 budget that will help our aviation platforms target crossings. we need the innovative towers we are putting in place. we received support from congress three years in a row for innovative cost effective programs on emerging technologies that are going to expand our surveillance capability. we need to finish our fixed tower deployment. that surveillance technology and the ability of our agents to respond effectively and i

ice and border patrol.for the first five months of this year, democratic colleagues repeatedly said there was no crisis. it was a made up crisis. the manufactured crisis. like on the floor the house and i would talk about the numbers to the people. one hundred and something thousand people month monthly. >> suddenly they have to admit it's a crisis. wouldn't you see from the main.of the politicians, are making it worse and how much is the problem that they are attacking law enforcement. >> i think that violence of the squad and every mainstream democrat now is incredibly alarming. i think that's why that you know staying these grassroots manifestations of support for ice. the disingenuousness of all of these democrats is only the presidential feels on suddenly determining that a noncrisis was now a catastrophic if it. just speaks to the lack of any adult in the democrat party back rooms on this issue. there used to be rational voices on this. of your home state, jordan, true heroin and patriot. there isn't

and i want you to know that we will always stand with the heroes of border patrol, ice, and all of law enforcement. they have done just incredible work. to ensure a safe and prosperous future, we also are advancing the cause of human liberty in our hemisphere. we are also, by the way, advancing the cause of religious liberty. right? we just talked about that at the united nations. we've confronted the corrupt communist dictatorship in cuba, cancelling the last administration's one-sided deal with the castro regime. it was a, just another bad deal. very one-sided. very unfair to the united states. we're making good deals now for the united states. it's about time. our deal with china, our deal with so many, they're all coming along very, very nicely. a little patience, to make them great, you need a little patience. our farmers, by the way, have been incredible. they've been incredible. and now china is back buying again. they're buying a lot of our agricultural products. a lot of things are happening. the united states and our partners have also built a historic coalition of 55 countri

we are now awaiting the start of a briefing from the acting ad of customs border patrol. a new report that border arrests as a metric of border crossing. that number has plummeted to 51,000 in the month of august. that is down 60%, according to multiple reports. chief white house correspondent john roberts is inside the white house briefing room to talk more about this. actually, you are not there yet, but that's where you're headed. >> i didn't want to risk the chance that they would come out in the middle of all this, because we want to talk about the immigration, and the peace talks with the taliban. first, to the immigration numbers. the peak of this year was back in may, 144,000 people crossing the southern border illegally. that is declined, as he mentioned. a 60% reduction. it is typical, historically speaking, for there to be a reduction in the number of illegal i don't like migrants over the heat of the summer months. it starts to crawl back up again in september. but the president has been citing unprecedented cooperation from mexico and keeping people from trave

commissioner, the border patrol leadership, they want this wall. this is not a vanity project as one of the false fartives out there. this president has delivered to the experts, to the border patrol, to the leadership, asked what they needed. one of the key things they said they needed was the wall. and this is not just a wall that is being built right now but a wall system includes access roads, lighting and tech following. when asked the leadership, universally said, the wall works. where it has been used in the past, history has shown the numbers have gone down. we have saying for a long time and the experts were saying, when they were asked by the president, this wall is absolutely needed as part of what we have been saying, a multi layered approach of infrastructure, technology and personnel and where that is implemented in strategic locations, it works. the experts say it works. the experts have asked for this and this president and this administration has delivered and they are going to continue to deliver. as we stated from the beginning,

border patrol agents here is a tosser sweet with the story. millions of gallons of toxic storm runoff are contaminating the southern california shorelines and beaches are continually getting closed as pollution is spilling over the border from mexico. you would know that through this bird sanctuary that millions of gallons of raw sewage runs through here all the way to the ocean in the last decade there have been more than 1600 beach closures off california's coast as a result of contaminated waste water but it's not outrage from environmentalists we're hearing from having kids exposed to vets hawkins is incredibly scary on so many levels bethany case lives in imperial beach with her family and also runs a restaurant in the area well case loves her home she can't help but wonder what the exposure of toxins will do to her children we live less than a mile from the beach and so were her this is where we recreate but we also breathe and the air comes from the river valley and the power of sanity when it even when i tried it less than the air in t

that's a very good day for border patrol agents. it's a very good thing that's happening.ple months ago i wrote an op-ed that said lou dobbs is going to shortly get this dreams, illegal immigration will go down. president trump without any help from congress is single handedly causing those numbers to go back down and we'll soon hit 45-year lows again. lou: without this president in office and all he brings to that office. his intelligence, his guts, and his vision. and to think that the radical dimms are playing stupid political theatrical games in the house of representatives. it's sickening. and everywhere else. their politics of personal destruction. and they will pay. mark my word. they will pay one hell of a price at the polls in 2020. >> they go out to the border just for op-eds, they go out to the border solely to call border patrol agents nazis. they say we are running prison camps and concentration camps. they say this is what the problem is so we can come to solutions. all they want to do is make this a political issue. when in reality if they would sit down and

more than half of the border patrol agents are hispanic. they are tough.hey are patriots and we are members. 13 gang they are being brought out of our country by the thousands and they are bad as you say, they bres.ad hom oneed that word once and no has let me forget it. are incredible people and extraordinary patriots who safeguard our community and honored to have , jose avina.nest if you could come up and say a few words. come up. andhank you mr. president vice president. we are grateful to be here tonight celebrating hispanic heritage month. i want to praise god for this the greaty to salute men and women of the united states border patrol who are out there keeping america safe. have met families and those who are paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. we continue with the lives and have the honor to be with the children battling cancer. i have the honor to serve with have thelies and i daily privilege of working with some of the most compassionate men and women who render aid, rest of people walking for days. andagents who volunteer finally,

>>patrol at santa cruz county sheriff tony estrada says about 1000 border patrol agents, patrol the 50at a goal. >>president here along the border estrada's says border patrol focuses on the rural areas like the acres of ranch is right outside the city. >>because that's where he says more people trying to illegally cross. this is our last day in arizona over heading to new mexico right now that will be staying tonight live reporter of her dot com tour. i mean a warning key. alright analyst. next at 5 mike the situation is now a >>jersey shores the situation was recently released from prison after serving 8 months for tax fraud that's a whole situation. entertainment tonight exclusively sat down with the reality star. if if he's still a star. the shelter has the story. mike sorrentino is a free man and our brooke anderson scored the very first interview with a sunnier and. >>and slimmer situation. >>so the new mike yes, how many pounds lost 36 pounds and preserve the okay you so much thinner than the last time i saw a i worked out between 2 to 3 times per day as well as intermittent fas

we could use some personnel, the babysitting part of the job, to free up the border patrol so they can enforce the border. secondly, this congress that is so quick to spend money on many things could give us technology at the points of entry and more dogs, which do a great job of identifying people trying to sneak across. another thing that congress should do is get rid of birthright citizenship. when i saw people waiting to come in, it was obvious there were pregnant women coming into this country. people six, seven months presenting yant, from asia, cross the southern border, they come here because the united ates is only two of the 40th wealthiest. president trump promised to get rid of that and i hope that is something he follows up. another problem we have is that right now families are still allowed in the united states under the flores settlement after they are here for 20 days. if they were here for 60 days, they wouldn't disappear into the either, but they would be able to stay here until they have their court hearing. it is so important for this congress to pass a law to keep

we have done it with the help of border patrol. congress wouldn't do it. congress the democrats just wouldn't do it. ainsley: he said that section right there is 14 miles long. 30 feet tall. spent $147 million on that project. it replaced a much shorter fence. some areas have 50 miles. some 40. one area has 17 miles. brian: right. there is a couple areas where the definition department is not spending the money they were told to spend because it's going to be a little bit more expensive parts of arizona where the costs they say a little bit too high. in san diego, they were showing some improvements. ed henry actually was right in front of the wall when he caught up with the president. >> one border patrol agent told me no president has brought this kind of attention or resources so that now i can do my job. that's what he told me. >> we are making their job a lot safer, too. you know what else is happening. people aren't coming up. numbers are going way down. we are not doing catch and release anymore. we wish we had help from the democrats in congress. t

one of the things also has to be recognized is the border patrol is actually limited by 17 federal lawsn what it can do to fulfill its job along that border. the ability to have east-west access which is essential for hot pursuit, which goes into one of the wilderness categories there, that has to be rethought and reconfigured. if we want to have access to a secure border so we can look citizens in the eye and say, yeah, we, as a country, can secure our border. we not only have to have a wall, which is important, but we also have make sure the border patrol two is allowed to do their job. right now, there are certain federal laws that prohibit them from doing their job. i want those to be part of the overall discussion and process. if you do that, we can have a comprehensive policy. miranda: what would you like specifically to see them be allowed to do? how would you like to role expanded? rep. bishop: right now, in that 50%, they are not allowed to do any kind of patrolling except on foot or on horseback on special horses. that's ridiculous. if they are trying to intercept somebody tha

i want to make sure i emphasize something as a cbp commissioner, the border patrol leadership, they want this wall. this is not a vanity project in one of the false narratives out there has been. i heard it numerous times. this president has delivered to the expert to the border patrol, the leadership and ask what they needed, one of the key things they said they needed was the wall. this is not just a wall that is being built right now, it's a wall system, access roads, technology and when asked, the leadership, universally has said the wall works. where it is been used in the past, history is shown the numbers go down, facts and history show that. we've been saying for a very long time the experts have been saying when they were asked for the president, this wall is absolutely needed to safeguard and secure our southern border. in patricia, technology and personnel. where that is implemented and effective in a strategic location, it works. the experts say it works, the experts have asked for this and this president and this ministration has delivered and will continue to deliver. as we

and then i moved to the "seattle times" and was able to see the perspective of the border patrol agents and deportation and removal officers who worked on the northern part of the border. we spend so much time talking about the southern border for the neglect especially when you have canadian government in power who see themselves as doormats of the world and in large part harboring islamist extremist groups that then can just go across the northern border because all of that is stopping them are orange rubber cones it's alarming and they've been under siege for a long ti time. they always pay lipservice to wanting to fund them more and increase the ranks but they've been turned into the diaper but go because too many special interests don't want them to do their job effectively. another point that you made of course is that the border patrol agents come from all backgroun backgrounds. many of us are in the southern sectors. in colorado, my adopted home state, i visited these facilities recently and the agents there and the other people that work there, many of them are proud and

but i want to make sure that i emphasize something, as the cbp commissioner, the border patrol field leadership, they want this wall. this is not a vanity project, as one of the false narratives out there has been, and i've heard it numerous times. this president has delivered to the experts, to the border patrol, to the leadership, asked what they needed. one of the key things that they said they needed was the wall. and this is not just a wall that's being built right now, it's a wall system. it includes access roads, lighting, technology. and when asked, the leadership universally has said the wall works. where it's been used in the past, history has shown the numbers go down. facts and history show that. and we've been saying for a very long time, the experts have been saying, when they were asked by the president, this wall is absolutely needed to help safeguard and secure our southern border, as part of what we've always been saying, a multi-layered approach of infrastructure, technology, and personnel. and where that is implemented an effective, a strategic location, it works.

who may elect to select a border patrol person to make that decision precipitate a child from a parent a border patrol person is making a distinction as to whether the parent brought the child here should be taking care of the child that is putting it in ainto the sympathy of a frome child. i cannot believe that many of those children, i cannot believe that they were unfit to take care of the child while they are waiting for a hearing. it is clear although we visited and saw some good things we saw many things that had to be corrected. i want to conclude again because as good as your clinicians are, they may be fine people doing their job, you can't tell me that thousands and thousands of children are better off in a facility that is clean and smiling. >> thank you, very much madam chair. we are now going to proceed to the opening remarks from the assistant inspector general, office of the inspector general department of health and human services followed by the director of the office of refugee resettlement and the department of health and human services, and we are also join

is a growing crisis of conscience among the people who have actually had to carry it out, the border patrolen a tense climate over who we are as americans when it comes to the border. "the new york times" spoke to agents, highlighting a dip in morale among their ranks as one former agent put it bluntly, "people actively hate us." agents face public harassment, being called sellouts and kid killers. with me, two former border agents, one who quit in 2018, and the other a former officer with cbp in san antonio. i want to thank both of you for talking with us. what was the tipping point for you? tell us a little bit about your experiences. >> i just need to correct that i was a border patrol agent in san diego, not san antonio >> san diego, sorry. >> that's fine you know, the tipping point for me was a lot of different things i realized the policies that we were enforcing back during operation gatekeeper, which is having its 25th anniversary this year, basically are the same things we see today, that the walls create more violence and death amongst the migrants nobody really wanted to solve th

in that week we had a group of 1036 migrants crossenmace together and turn themselves into border patrolgents. of our record apprehensions that month 72% were unaccompanied children and family units. a stark change in the traditional demographics arriving at our border. and many of the migrants represented central america's most this will vulnerable populations who put lives in the hands of very violent criminal o-s to make the journey. with those overwhelming arrivings dhs facilities were overcrowded resulting in difficult humanitarian conditions. in some sectors over 50% of the agents were directed to processing and care of migrants, month runs, medical krengs, leaving key areas of the border underman and necessitating closing of checkpoints. while we warned congress about the burgeoning crisis back to december of last year and requested both additional humanitarian resources and legislative changes, congressional action was not responsive and the crisis spiralled. i do want to talk a moment about the fundamental causes for these shifts in migration patterns. the core of in issue in th

i want to make sure we have the security there but it has to be recognize that the border patrol is limited by 17 federal laws on what it can do to -- for phil its job -- fulfill its job on the border. to be able to do hot pursuit which goes into one of those wilderness categories, that has to be rethought and reconfigured if we want to have access to a secure border so we can look citizens in the eye and say yeah, as a country, to secure our border. we not only have to have a wall, but we have to make sure the border patrol is allowed to do their job. right now, there are certain federal laws that prohibit them from doing their job. i want those to be a part of the discussion and process. if you do that, we can have a conference of policy. miranda: what would you like to see them allowed to do specifically? how would you like to role expanded? rep. bishop: right now in the 50%, they are not allowed to do any kind of patrolling except on foot or on horseback on special forces. that's ridiculous -- horses. that's ridiculous. if they are trying to intercept someone who has gone over the barri

than half of our border patrol agents are hispanic.ore than a quarter of our ace agents are tough, hispanic patriots. membersoving ms 13 gang and some of these horrible people. they are being brought out their country. by the thousands. they are bad. [laughter] i use that word once and nobody has let me many of these agents are immigrants and their incredible people. we are honored to have with us one of our finest patrol agent jose. if you could come on up. [applause] >> thank you for inviting my family and i. we are grateful and honored for you to be here tonight. god for thisise opportunity to salute the brave who were working tirelessly to keep america safe. we have the honor to be by the side of families who are injured and paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. we pray for them and walk with them. through their journey of grief. we step-by-step continue with their lives. we have the honor to be with those agents whose children's art -- children are battling cancer. the opportunity to have kept company with the death of

allen clemmons wrote an op-ed saying there is a different way to think about the border patrol and theyssion. they are work on clothing, feeding and caring for people in dire straits. what's your take? >> i have been on the border many times and there is no doubt the border patrol has a huge responsibility crossing the border. and they are also taking care of children while they are here. you don't see those stories. it's all get rid of i.c.e. get rid of the border patrol. they are aillusive and horrible. that's what the media has been reporting. >> i'm not surprised the media doesn't report the good stories about what i.c.e. and some of our border patrol are doing on the border. liz: when you go down there, what do you see in the facilities happening? >> i see a lot of people both federally and state and local people charged with this immense responsibility. liz: we had alexandria ocasio-cortez going there, we had teams from elijah cummings office going down there saying people are being abused at the border. >> i don't think that's accurate. certainly they are in a dissuasion down the
