i am a border patrol wife and the border patrol agents can't speak, but we can.ives to speak for them. they are exhausted and not able to track down everyone coming into this country. we've had a million gotaways, most dangerous individuals, child sex trafficking and those on the terror watch list, this is dangerous for our country. >> griff: is there concern about what is coming on may 11th when title 42 lifts considering the surge here on the banks of the rio grande behind us? >> absolutely, they are afraid and scared and do not know what to expect. i see more people coming, it will get worse and for me, it is frustrating as a border patrol wife, i'm afraid for his life and other border patrol agents. it is concerning. >> griff: i've had the honor of knowing border patrol agents and their families and i want to get personal for a moment. what is it like? this crisis comes home to the spouses. >> i took his safety for granted. i did. i always thought he would always come home and i never thought we would be in the situation where i am constantly checking and pra

one border patrol agent said he thought that would go up to 11,000 to 14,000 a day. the biden administration has gone to great lengths not to secure the border but to make it easier for migrants to be released into the interior of the united states. earlier this year, for example, the administration announced a new plan to address a specific subset of the border crisis, the way migrants from cuba, haiti, nicaragua, and venezuela were treated. what the administration said is we're not going to secure the border, we're not going to prevent illegal immigration, we're actually going to confer legal status on 30,000 migrants from cuba, haiti, nick rag was and -- nicaragua and venezuela a month. 30,000 a month. then we take that out of the top number so it makes it look like we actually have less migrants coming into the country illegally. well, 30,000 a month, 360,000 a year, without congress' consultation or consent. we are a coequal branch of government. the president has no authority to do that on his own. last week, the administration finalized a rule to funnel even mo

they met with border patrol agents provide met with our extraordinary office of field operations personnel of u.s. customs and border protection. i met with her immigrations and customs personnel. what local community leaders law enforcement leaders was nonprofit organizations as well. as a cheap shot of it a community response to a challenge to our communities. that is indeed what we are bringing. a community response. it is no different across the entire region, across the entire western hemisphere. this is a regional challenge that required regional solutions. it is not unique to the seventh of the state has spoken about this before. and therefore about three weeks ago i was in panama with colombian we urge and forced him up operations to prevent individuals from entering the very dangerous at the hands of smugglers. earlier this week the president's homeland security advisor met with on enforcement south of mexico to prevent individuals from being exploited by smugglers as those of vulnerable individuals are misinformed by the smugglers and brought to the southern border only to be ret

what you have to have is at least 80% of your resources actively patrolling the border. right now, we are about 50% of our resources actively patrolling the border on any given date. depending upon how many people cross, just two days ago, we had 1200 apprehensions in one sector. that was a del rio sector. any time that happens now you are pulling 70% of your resources out of the field, and you only have 30% that are actively patrolling. we cannot effectively control the border if you only have 50-30% of your resources that are actively patrolling. host: if you live in a border state, you can choose the line to call us. we saw the president send troops down to the border to help with the background capacity. it that alleviated the workload? host: it has not. they are not able to come in contact with anybody who crosses the border illegally. all of our demonstrated duties that we had to do whether processing, hospital watch, transport, detention, security, all of that requires us to come in contact with individuals who are in the country illegally. if the national guardsme

number one, secretary mayorkas says they are surging 24,000 border patrol agents to the border, it's not possible. there are only 19,000 border patrol agents. number two, we heard our colleague, jacqui heinrich ask him about mass releases, he took issue with and said mass releases, that's not how he would characterize them. well, that's exactly what is happening. i can walk a mile away from where i'm standing right now, go to brownsville where the bus terminal is and all around the area are young venezuelan men with their ntas going other places in the country. mass releases are happening along the southern border, how they decompress the border patrol facilities. and the way they play with the words, they say the people are placed into removal proceedings, that is accurate. but removal proceedings under title 8 also mean release with an nta, with a court day that could be several years down the road. if the secretary was trying to say mass releases are not taking place that, is completely false. >> sandra: bill, not to mention he was asked a similar question i asked senator graham,

the border patrol barely has time to process was in custody. hey are leaving hundreds of miles of border of a guild of a. >> exactly and thank you, sir. thank you for your work. this is a joke. let's really talk about the real issue. it's the rule of law. it's the safety of our people. we're breaking the law and becoming weaker, and we got to stop it. thank you, chairman. i yield back. >> gentleman you expected chair recognizes mr. correa of california. >> thank you, mr. chairman. first of all, ms. nobles i also want to express my condolences. as a fellow paper also have a daughter about the same age of your daughter. about two years ago i got a phone call at home. i should say and work from home. my daughter was all alone at home. called me screaming, crying saying daddy, there are two men in the house. two men were burglarizing the house. what do i do, daddy? i said, stay by the dogs. let me call 911. and those moments of terror, i hate to think what would've happened if those german shepherds were not there, or if our local sand and the pd ha

customs and border patrol says the first days of new border policies did not bring a spike in illegal crossings. but migration is still at historically high levels. border patrol is preparing for daily migrant arrivals to increase to between 12 to 14,000 per day. they face major operational challenges with many detention facilities over capacit. not surprisingly, the narratives pwe are hearing about the situation coming from the two political parties are at odds. we have three texas guests standing by for firsthand updates, a republican congressman, a democratic mayor and an independent mayor. we want to begin with former south carolina governor and presidential hopeful, nikki ha haley. good morning to you. >> good morning. happy mother's day. >> and happy mother's day to you as well. i want to start with the issue of the day, what's happening at the border. the biden administration has done a number of things. they have restricted asylum, barring migrants who appear at the port of entry without having first asked for refuge in a third country. if they try to enter without permission,

in addition to obtaining the first increase in border patrol agent hiring in over a decade, the first in over a decade, we are in the process of surging personnel to the border, including more than 1,400 dhs personnel. 1,000 processing coordinators and an additional 1,500 department of defense personnel. all of these individuals will allow our law enforcement officers to stay in the field and focus on their critical mission. we are delivering on tougher consequences for unlawful entry including the return, removal, an expulsion of more than 665,000 people during the first half of this fiscal year. we are conducting dozens of removal flights per week and we continue to increase our removal flight capability. we are increasing our efficiency and reducing processing times at the border. we launched the cbp1 app which in its first four months helped 83,000 individuals schedule an appointment at a port of entry and we're taking steps to expand available appointments. we bolstered the capacity of local governments and ngos. just last week we announced the distribution of an additional $332

border patrol by 17%. all of the amendments were rejected by committee republicans instead of working with democrats to provide bipartisan solutions to fix our broken immigration system, h.r. 2 is just a far-right maga style immigration bill advanced by republicans that would tear at the fabric of american values and drastically limiting asylum opportunities while doing nothing, nothing, create an orderly system. the xenophobia bill filed in this space of religious values that republicans claim to live by. at best h.r. 2 is a deeply distrustful effort to exploit irregular migration at the southwest border which is expected to intensify with the -- with the termination of title 42 health restrictions. to make political points with donald trump and his devoted extreme maga base, the hardworking civil servants who work to keep our border secure deserve so much better. mr. speaker, i urge republicans who support detaining and deporting more migrants to take a look at section 115-c, division a. if enacted it wo

it i love border patrol to turn away migrants seeking asylum at the border. >> good morning and thank you for joining us this morning. to my left is the acting commissioner of u.s. customs and border protection when miller. to my right from the united states department of state. as you know, on thursday may 11 at 11:59 p.m. eastern time the title 42 public health order will terminate. at that point we want to get him process at our southern border using our immigration enforcement authorities under title eight of the united states code. our overall approach is to build lawful pathways for people to come to the united states and to impose tougher consequences on those who choose not to use those pathways. we are taking this approach within the constraints of a broken immigration system that congress has not fixed for more than two decades. without the resources we need, personnel, facilities, transportation and others, that we requested of congress and that we were not given. we have seen the effectiveness of our approach. more than 100,000 people from cuba, haiti, nicaragua and venezu

of the two years i've been covering this crisis across border, i have heard from rank and file border patrol agents and cbp law enforcement, frustrations about the secretary. not just they don't have his back, but they won't allow them to do their job, border enforcement on the line. they are seeing 200 plus migrants coming everyday and they have a smoother process of encountering, screening, prosing and transporting out. we've had a year to deal with it. when you had border patrol driving and transporting migrants everywhere, changing diapers, that hurt moral and it has not recovered as we stand on the door step of unprecedented migrant crisis after two years of unprecedented numbers. in the streets of el paso, you see migrants all across the street, shelters being overwhelmed. you see them lined up along the streets, in the last 24 hours we had el paso mayor declaring a state of emergency as he braces for the end of title 42, take a listen here. >> the reason why we're declaring the state of emergency is to make sure we can stand up and be prepared for a may 11, may 12th to have public she

customs and border patrol says the first days of new border policies did not bring a spike in illegalgs, but migration is still at historically high levels. border patrol is preparing for daily migrant rivals to increase to between 12,000 to 14,000 per day, and they face major operational challenges with many detention fachilities over cap capacity. not surprisingly, the narrative from the two political parties are at odds. we have three texas guests standing by. we want to begin with former south carolina governor and presidential hopeful, nikki haley. good morning to you. >> good morning. happy mother's day. >> and happy mother's day to you as well. i want to start with the issue of the day, what's happening at the border. the biden administration has done a number of things. they've restricted asylum, barring migrants who appear at a port of entry withoutasd for re country. they face a five-year ban. they plan to open processing centers in latin america. do you support any of that? >> i'm just surprised it took them so long, you know, you look at the fact that it wasn't broken to s

host:e president of the national border patrol council as well as a border patrol agent. joining us from arizona to talk about issues along the southern border. thank you for your time. guest: good to be with you. one correction, i am no longer an agent. i retired a month ago but i am still the president of the board. very much involved in everything that goes on. host: thank you for the clarification. one more point of clarification, it says you are in tucson but could you describe about where you are and why? guest: yeah. i am in the tucson, arizona sector. unfairly close to the border, not right on the border, but fairly close. host: could you explain? we heard a lot of scenarios that were supposed to happen after the end of title 42. give us your sense of what has gone on since then. guest: when we were on the border that day title 42 was supposed to end there were over 170,000 people camped out ready to cross the border. what we saw and what we witnessed with the people crossing the border as they were being interviewed was the mexican military and the cartel work me

before us, of removal flights and encounters with our border patrol agents, we are making it very clear that our border is not open, backcrossing irregularly is against the law, and that those who are not eligible for release will be quickly returned. do not listen to the lies of the smugglers. this is what will happen to you. you will be returned. today, alongside the department of justice we are finalizing a new rule to encourage individuals to use available, lawful, safe and orderly pathways to enter the united states. the rule presumes that those who do not use lawful pathways to enter the united states are ineligible for asylum. it allows the united states, it allows us to remove individuals who do not establish a reasonable fear of persecution we'll leave this here to keep our commitment to live coverage of the u.s. house. you can watch more at c-span.org. er purposes. er and providing for consideration of the bill, h.r. 1163, to provide incentives for states to recover fraudulently paid federal and state unemployment compensation and for other purposes. the speaker: the question

we should be talking about border patrol, correct? jude when you look at his words from just a couple years ago when he was running for president since 2008, he bragged about being the democrat out there who is enhanced border security, enhanced walls and enforce our laws in the books. >> sean: doesn't remember his name. >> you talk about fentanyl, terror sells coming in. it's the leading cause of death for those between 18 and 49. i would think that a president who has a son, and drug addiction and overdosing that he would care about this problem a little bitsy sean that is such a great joint. back to you, governor huckabee i want to get your take on that. human trafficking, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, the amount of drugs killing our kids all over the country. >> 100,000 americans are dying not just in south texas, they are dying in ohio, maine, and michigan, they are dying in massachusetts and arkansas, they are dying across the country. drugs that may have started across the border, but that's not where the crime and the deva

the border patrol union has tweeted out a warning saying they're getting field reporting from agents across the southern border warning they're getting inundated by large migrant groups overrunning their stations and that mass releases are underway. it only going to get worse from here. neil, now we wait and see what happens eight hours from now. i can tell you me and my team will be out here, pulling an all-nighter and have all parts of the border covered. >> neil: it could get worse. the department of homeland security itself is estimating upwards of 14,000 migrants daily and that goes up every day. they said 150,000 migrants from mexico border states are planning to illegally cross once this does end, title 42 at midnight. are they prepared for that? >> it doesn't look like it. they're already overcapacity in multiple border patrol sectors as it stands right now. title 42 hasn't even dropped yet. keep in mind the last three days in a row, border patrol has gotten 10,000 apprehensions each day. the numbers are expected to crank up after midnight. just before we went live with you, i

i think about the border patrol unions.hink about the law enforcement unions, and i think about everyone left behind, all of those americans in every border country and every border city and every border states and throughout the united states that has now experienced a triple of fence and all poisonings, a quintuple of lack of resources. and i think about how this administration continues to reassure us with their tired narratives and their woke talking points there is room for everyone, there is room for everyone. and then they say with a straight face, well, if there is not room in the ngos or the nonprofit, i guess we will let the illegal immigrants go free, because why? our tax dollars are not enough? correct, they are pushing the responsibility to nonprofits, to catholic organizations come to groups of faith, to nonprofits to absorb the surge, the 12 million plus surge of illegal immigrants in the country and contrast that by the way with the amount of homeless coast-to-coast is about half a million. can you hear the

the border patrol fence. they've been waiting sometimes by the thousands in the daylight heat and the evening cold for border patrol to come by and take them into custody and start processing them. >> and from what you've witnessed and what you've seen in the past couple days, what does this all mean for u.s. immigration policy moving forward? >> it changes a lot of things. it is, according to advocates, it's going to the trump administration policy of hard line limiting administration, the biden administration will say that's absolutely not accurate. that it is a sort of new version of that. a kinder, gentler version that allows people to make an appointment over an app. come to the border with an appointment. the biden administration said they want to process people in an orderly humane fashion. the reality is there are so many people at the border in the last several days and weeks that border communities are facing a potential sort of inundation of migrants. so far, the number of people crossing the borde

the issue is that our border patrol agents are now inside their processing facility. the u.s. that leaves our border wide open. just talk with our sheriff this morning we still have a problem with load drivers and fentanyl coming across the border. we had chases yesterday that overturned vehicles here in south of sierra vista. we still have that problem that just is just compounding, and we still just it's just a crisis, sir i can hear the frustration in your voice i know the communities, all of them are feeling it. mayor , do you feel there is a sense in washington that people are hearing you? today the house passed this bill but it does not look like it is going to go any place in the senate. what do you want to see from washington? actually what we want to see is action of course. i have said it before and i ruffled feathers, it doesn't matter it. has to be either party do something. because a lot of times they use this issue more of a social issue to divide people to raise money and know it's affecting the communities. i said it even years ago that maybe it wasn't

i can tell you right now in our sector in uvalde, that probably 75% of our border patrol they're not on the border. they are in these processing places. the border is wide open. >> our border patrol agents are now inside their processing facility processing the migrants come in the u.s. and that leaves our border wide open. we want to see more support on the border, sir. bottom line. we need support down here. >> steve: yeah. brian, you mentioned all those different countries people are coming in from. el paso is the new ellis island, essentially. you look at those images right there. there's great item in today's "new york post." a fellow by the name of tom bins bensman. he actually earlier this week was on the mexican side of the border. he noticed as you see all these people waiting to come into the united states. he noticed about 100 or 150 people would get up as though in response to a signal and they were pausing. and then follow a little while later by another group. he asked one of the mexican immigration officials what exactly what is going on. and they said their mexican off

ask the two days the united states border patrol has seen approximately 50% drop in the number of people encountered at our southern border as compared to the numbers earlier this week before title 42 came to an end at midnight on thursday. lexi border patrol says in the days leading up to friday of the highest number of crossings in united states history. more than 80000 migrants. here's congressman byron donald. >> was happening now is because of joe biden's recklessness. his desire when he became president to rip up all the trump era policies that actually had our borders secure. now they are scrambling to find a solution to the crisis joe biden created. >> and becomes a debt sing the white house claims gop plant would terminate thousands of border patrol agents and allow thousands of pounds of drugs into the country. former new york governor andrew cuomo said biden is quote terribly mismanaged the border. present biden spoke about that republican plan last week. >> what is it they are going to cut? what are they going to keep? are they going to make sure they continue to fund the def

border patrol authorities said wednesday they had detained a record 28,000 people. for more, we go to san diego, which is near the san ysidro border crossing in california, where hundreds of asylum seekers have been sleeping on the ground under trash bags and foil blankets, with many reporting they have not eaten in days. we are joined by pedro rios, director of the american friends service committee's u.s.-mexico border program. welcome back to democracy now! can you talk about the situation ? as a midnight last night, but of course, this has been building up? >> what we're seeing on the ground is there are many people who are wanting to seek asylum and if they cross into what is known as the enforcement zone, between the primary and secondary border wall, is that they are essentially being left there and border patrol is not providing -- is not abiding by its national standards to ensure they have safety, that they get food, that they have plenty of water and shelter. at this time, what we see is on a rotating basis, at least 400 people, asylum-seekers with childre

the -- they've slowed down the stream and we're seeing border patrol take ago bit longer to process people now meeting court dates before they get patrolled. i'm also in constant contact with hospitals and we're limited in infrastructure and medical capacity for large number offed a migs. this is a reality that we don't also -- we also don't have a pediatric intensive care unit locally so that's of concern. rachel: yeah, of course. you already have rural sort of limited capacity for healthcare and it's being overrun. mayor, i couldn't help thinking that he said if we have a large number of injuries or emergencies and your town having a school shooting noodle rod tragically not too long ago with the circumstances of towns being overreturn and title 42 gone, how will that impact your community in terms of emergencies? >> excuse me. it will be tough. just two weeks ago, we had 40 migrants on the train east of uvalde and every ambulance in our community and surrounding area was at that train as they transported people to hospitals. phenomenal with would have had -- if we would have had an emer

the flood gates are about to open, the message from border patrol officers as title 42 expires today. you're watching "fox and friends first" on busy thursday, i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier in for carley shimkus. the "wall street journal" editorial board says this is what failure looks like, record 10,000 illegal migrant apprehensions on thursday in the heartland and crowd of people waiting to walk or swim into the u.s. >> todd: jonathan lines on the ground in yuma, arizona, but we begin with caroline shivley. >> we are here at gate 40 along the border wall in el paso. it is hard to get a sense in the dark, we are on this side of the border. on the other side are migrants, take a look at what it looks like in the daytime. migrants huddled together just wai waiting begging to be let in. the 2000-mile border, has set up a tent city, some waiting near checkpoints. 10,000 migrants were caught trying to sneak over the border tuesday alone. these are children being swept away on the rio grande river. two adults plunged into the water and saved them. fox captured video of mi

the vp of national border patrol talked about this about the people coming across the border. >> these cartels are distracting agents and scoutses along the southern border and watching where the agents are being placed and are not. there are a lot of gotaways, people don't know where they are or where they are from, this individual would have been apprehended, you don't know. that is the problem now, you have cartels that have been doing it for a long time. we will continue to see this because this is administration refuses to do something about it. >> will: that is the threat with national security. meanwhile, the flood of illegal immigrants, not just shipped by governor abbott and ron desantis, natural flow of illegal immigrants wanting to go to where the job market is means they end up in places like new york and it is a zero sum game, we told you about homeless veterans booted from a hotel so rooms could be given to illegal immigrants. and a wedding couple. >> ainsley: in newburg, new york, men moved in last month, so 20 veterans had to move to another holts. one couple blocked 37

we're the support of some of our organizations because border patrol is not doing that. so these folks are outdoors waiting for 2 or 3 or 4 days, no shelter or no food, no water, no access to our restrooms. these are, are in humane conditions in which people are being uh, 15 in and not one second. it just with the hope that they will be given the opportunity to be processed by border patrol and started their asylum. clean still wants to awesome. okay, good. now what about the issues with this app? because our correspondents were telling us just audio. there is the c, b, c, b p one app for people that know that app is not. that app is not working properly . i suppose now because we are going from one set of rules to another. this measure type of 42 is expired. is there an anticipation that is going to be very k all taken when conditions are already very difficult for people who have the right to seek sign them and trying to do so? that is it. is it going to get even more classic and difficult for them in the coming days and weeks? yeah, it is. um i everybody that i talked

i spoke with one official, not that long ago, he tells me one of the key concerns that border patrol does have in the coming days and months as this continues is making sure, try to make sure, that migrants are not evading arrest. some of the efforts that border cities are undergoing as more migrants cross. flimsy? >> brie jackson, thank you. right now in israel, we're following breaking news, that a cease fire has been reached between israeli forces and militants in the gaza strip. the agreement was brokered by officials from egypt. it comes after five days of violent clashes and a cease-fire just went into effect a moment ago. i want to bring in evan c.'s refs inches in tel aviv. raf, what's the latest on the ground? >> lindsey, one u.s. official, one israeli official, telling nbc news, a cease-fire agreement has been reached, brokered by egypt, it's around eight minutes past 10:00 here, they say, the cease-fire deal went into effect at 10:00. i can tell you, it has been quiet for these last eight minutes. for the hour leading up to the cease-fire, it has been anything but. here in

the question is, should the border patrol secure the border or should they simply greet people at the border, accept false statements made about there being fleeing in most cases false about their fleeing from persecution, and then usher them into the country. that's what's going on at the border. we are now exceeding 7 million people who have come to the border. the vast majority brought in. of the few that were sent back will now return to the border and come in. >> sandra: congressman darrell issa, appreciate you joining us today. thank you very much. >> thank you, sandra. >> sandra: tom homan, former acting i.c.e. director and fox news contributor, and learning president biden paved the way for sending troops to the border by signing an executive order on drug enforcement last week. your thoughts on this move, tom? >> well, any help the border patrol can get will help them. they are already overwhelmed. most sectors 80% of agents are off the line for processing. if the soldiers provide administrative relieve so the agents can get back on the line it's a good thing. but it's not re

we could see very crowded border patrol facilities.erstate the strain on our personnel and our facilities, but we know how to manage through such strain, as difficult as it will be, i have tremendous confidence and pride in our personnel. let me share with you an example of how we manage through a very difficult situation. in el paso, texas, we saw vinyls on the street. we engaged in a very sensitive and humane law enforcement operation to address that challenge, and we successfully have done so to the praise of the city of el paso. >> teams in el paso say that there are hundreds of migrants now in the open, with very limited access to food and water and bathrooms for days. why aren't they being processed? is that what we can expect? >> so we are working very closely with nonprofit organizations, with community groups to really deliver a community response to the challenge. i cannot understate -- i'm sorry, i cannot overstate how much of a challenge it is going to be and how we all have to deal with it as one administration and one cou

government, come down to the nearest border patrol station. there's actually one down the street from the primary shelter here, the sacred heart church. and almost 1,000 people -- i believe it was 917 people opted in the last several days to walk down to that border patrol station and surrender. and the chief of the border patrol here in el paso, the local sector chief, anthony scott goode, told reporters most of those people were processed and released under title 8, but without those penalties per se. they were allowed to proceed into the united states to pursue an asylum claim or otherwise. >> what are the stakes for people on both sides of the border? how would you describe this moment for a border town like el paso, where you are right now? >> well, so for el paso and san diego, brownsville, yuma, all across the southwest border, there was a big expectation that come midnight on thursday, there would just be this sort of ooh, ahh moment, or a shock and awe moment of a rush to the border, and it was really a worry that had been sort of dis

a lawsuit filed monday argues border patrol has now forced many migrants into makeshift, open-air campsolate custody standards. we are joined by three guests. all of them are just back from the border, two joined a delegation monitoring the situation. in santa ana, california, guerline jozef is co-founder and executive director of haitian bridge alliance, an immigrant-advocacy organization that provides humanitarian assistance to haitians and other black immigrants from the caribbean and africa. in mexico city, erika guevara-rosas is a human rights lawyer and americas director for amnesty international, also part of this delegation. and in tijuana, mexico, erika pinheiro, is an immigration attorney and the executive director of al otro lado, a binational nonprofit helping immigrants on both sides of the u.s.-mexico border. we welcome you all back to democracy now! erika pinheiro, talk about what has been happening this past week with the end of title 42. what are you most concerned about? >> we did not see a search of migrants. we did have many migrants waiting patiently, some for years

the vast majority will be addressed in our border patrol facilities and our ice detention facilities. >> is that not a message the border is open then? >> absolutely not. >> is it challenge or crisis? >> is it a crisis now? >> a question he would not answer. administration blames congress, republicans blame the white house. they are pushing a pressure to enhance security at the border and tighten requirements for asylum seekers. >> go ahead, vote no. if you won't lead, we will. if you want toic tathe same approach as the president and ignore a problem and say it is not happening, we won't sit back. >> doug: that measure may pass the house, democrats and senate is expected to block it and the president has promised a veto if it reaches his desk. >> todd: doug luzader kicks us off, thank you. chad wolf says the u.s. would not be in this situation if we had a better leader in the white house. >> chad: biden administration is not interested in solving this crisis and bring it to a close. instead they are simply trying to manage this and process more and more of these individuals into the

we have a contact at border patrol, i have a ton of border patrol agents saying we feel like we're aidingbetting in the smuggling dropping off hundreds if not thousands of people in cities. i just talked to border patrol yesterday, i talked to some of our local communities, the governors are planning on doing this but they're going to start releasing people into yuma county, tucson. today may might be be releasing people into my county and casa grande sector and people that are going to be dumped on the street because they don't know what to do. your reporter mentioned they're at 28,000. our word that we get from border patrol is if they hit 29,000 people in custody, they shut everything down, bring everybody over to those processing centers, which means it leaves our boarders even more wide open. stuart: extraordinary. may i offer my opinion, sheriff, these people will stay here, they will work here, and they're not going back. millions of people. they're staying, they're working, they're not going back. is that how you think this is going to play out? >> absolutely. i don't think any of

nearly 200 alien and terrorist encountered by the border patrol. as we sit here today the surges around 42 have already started. border chiefs say he has encountered over 26 thousand aliens, illegally crossing the border in 72 hours this past weekend just over this past weekend in a 72 hour timeframe. last week when there were 55,000 alien encounters, nearly 8000 a day. and there was no end in sight. i would argue after thursday it will only get worse. according to the border patrol intelligence sources around 700,000 migrants are waiting in mexican shelters to come to the united states went title ii, title 42 expires in two days. they will overrun our border patrol agent's, they were overwhelmed our resources and they were overload our cities. by some estimates 400,000 migrants will pass through panama as cap making their way up to our border this year. all because president biden has effectively invited them in. this week house republicans will pass hr to the secure border act and make good on our promise to pass legislation to secure the border a

even the chief of the border patrol said we have lost operational control and we have lost it to the drug cartels to bear on our border and nobody sees the them more than my texas brother and. who bear the brunt of this. my legislature prep rates $4.5 billion just this term to deal with a federal responsibility and the sad thing is it didn't have to happen. it was a self-inflicted wound. we are on the path of securing this border under the previous demonstrations but what does the bite ofdo? on day one with the stroke of a pen resends the migrant protection protocols, remain in mexico which means you have to remain in mexico. when they rescinded that the cartels understood hey it's open for business. the green light is on, come on in and guess what they did? and a new if they could get people in the catch and release would apply. 5 million encounters, 5 million people in this country in the shadows no legal status. what in the world are we going to do with 5 million people? the saddest thing is the children that die on the way, 35% get raped on the dangerous journey. the stash houses,
