at ports of entry like brownsville. i want to thank again congresswoman gonzalez -- congressman gonzalez helping me get that through, get that passed into law. that's how you got the money from the gateway bridge from that fund. the bipartisan border security deal is a win for the american people. it's a win for the people of texas. it's for those -- it's a win for those who have a legitimate right to come here. it's a winner in people of brownsville. i believe that's why the border patrol unit endorsed it. i believe that's why the national chamber of commerce endorsed it. not known as a democratic organization with a capital d. that's why "the wall street journal" endorsed it as well. this is a truly bipartisan initiative. that's why the bipartisan south texas alliance of cities endorsed it. folks, i didn't get everything i wanted in that compromise bipartisan bill. but neither did anybody else. compromise is part of the process. that's how democracy works. that's how it's supposed to work. compromise is a very positiv

he's in some sanitized location in the brownsville area. not seeing the razor wire that texas has put up around brownsville. and he announced he was going to brownsville after it was already known that president trump was coming to the state of texas. it just goes to show that biden does not care about either texas or the border. and what's going on. as a result you see a disaster. the united states of america is dealing with more deadly consequences than we have in my entire lifetime because of joe biden's policies on the border. and it did not have to be this this way. as president trump just talked, there were four policies he put in place that led to the lowest illegal border crossings in about four decades. the end of catch and release. the title 42 policy. the remain in mexico policy. and building the border wall. all joe biden had to do to secure the border was to keep in place what president trump put in place in the first place. but instead, what joe biden did, he signed executive orders eliminating all of the effective policies th

to me, correspondent benjamin alvarez group out was in brownsville, texas for jo biden's visit. i asked him what the president's doing now to improve his credentials on border security. this is going on the offensive, but for many people here in brownsville, that we spoke to this trip is coming. let's remember, this was the 2nd trip to the southern border since president biden took office. the 1st one was in el paso, in texas, in january of last year, and some people that we spoke to 2 days that that this is just a photo opportunity for him. others, it told us that it's important for him to show that most support is needed and that's also what we heard in the speech. we just heard there a small segment of the part where he directly addressed donald trump address. the republicans is saying that this needs to have bi partisan support not playing politics. and he said that border patrol and some of his leaders, he met them today. and secretary and your cost was also here and many set that they need most of not just financial support, but also for the border communities here. but so

you look at the two visits, you know, the president came to visit brownsville, texas, brownsville, texasin may was ground zero. we saw thousands of venezuelans coming across. one thing that we were able to do is we shut down that area. we secured it. our national guard social. our state troopers. we put concertina wire along the river and shut down that area. we secured it. the president would have got to see that if you visited along the border and river. he would have seen those efforts state of texas go. to eagle pass where the former president was. we gave him a high level brief. we talked about the national guard, public safety threats, the cartels, talking about what really impacts the country. we have seen all these violent crimes from illegal immigrants have violent background should not be in the country the first place. most importantly laken riley, you know, just tragically lost her life at the hands of illegal immigrant should not be in the country in the first place. the president got to see that you know, he actually got to see, walk along the river. he thanked soldiers, tr

i mean, and there's a a similar dynamic at brownsville. this was probably my favorite part of the story. the timeline to report in the forties and fifties, a generation of young black people start to get the very first job at this institution. they've been barred from working and serving at for decades. and they come in and this power struggle really to ensue where there are white employees who think they own the and run the place and they had actively been battling to make sure that black employees could never work there. then young black employees come. i mean, some of them are 19, 20 years old, and they come into a very hostile work environment and they actually know their patients. and i don't mean that as surface level diversity. i mean they went to school with patients. they rode the bus with the patients they go to the same church. i mean, they are from the same neighborhoods. and so they looking at these people in the face and they know them and feel a certain level of responsibility to them. and then at the bottom of the totem are

then you have president biden over in brownsville, which is a very quiet section of the border these days. there he is with the border patrol chief he owens. >> bill: we've seen in all these primary contests the border crisis is shaping up to be issue number one come november. both biden and trump say the other one is responsible for it. >> this is a joe biden invasion. this is a biden invasion over the past three years. we had the most secure border and people weren't coming because they knew they weren't going to get in and we weren't promising free education, free medical, free everything. >> here is what i would say to mr. trump. instead of telling members of congress to block this legislation, join me and i will join you and telling the congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. >> bill: we'll speak with former border patrol chief ortiz in a moment. first from san antonio today. different location for bill melugin. why are you there and good morning to you. >> good morning to you. we're a few hours away from eagle pass as we get ready to ship out for poll ickx the. f

president biden was in brownsville, texas.t trump to join him and urged house republicans to help secure the border by voting for the senate bill. trump is at 500 km from it in the city of iglpas. there he took an excellent position and criticized. said it was president trump who called on house republicans to kill legislation that would improve border security. it's time for the speaker and some of my republican friends in congress who are blocking this bill to stop being spineless. i understand that my predecessor is visiting eagle pass today, so here's what i want to say to mr. trump: instead of playing politics, instead of tell a member of congress to block this bill, join me and i will join you and tell congress: pass this bipartisan bill, this is amazing, this is amazing, thank you, thank you sir, it's time for comments, i invite you to take your seats, and we take you where i'm going? okay, what's the best way to deal with cortels? with him about the ceiling for a long time, it’s noteworthy that he didn’t talk, well, i

president joe biden in brownsville, texas. former president donald trump in eagle pass. >> it's allowing thousands and thousands of people to come in from china, iran, yemen, congo, syria, a lot of other nations. many nations are not friendly to us. he has transported the entire columns of fighting-age men. >> president biden: here is what i would say to mr. trump. instead of telling members of congress to block this legislation, join me. i'll join you in telling the congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. we can do it together. let's remember who the heck we work for. we work for the american people not the democrat or republican party. >> harris: president biden found time during his short border stay to take a dig at climate change deniers. >> president biden: the idea there is no such thing as climate change. i love that, man. i love some of my neanderthal friends who think there is no climate change. my administration will keep building on the progress we've made fighting climate crisis. >> harris: again, h

he is in some sanitized location in the brownsville area.at the texas has put up around brownsville and he announced he was going to brownsville after it was president trump was coming to the state of texas. it just goes to show that biden does not care about either texas or the border and what's going3c on. >> now the united states is being overrun by the biden migrant crime. it's a new form of vicious violation to our country. it's migrant crime. but that's a little bit long so we will just leave it. that comes from allowing thousandsbecause hopefully the t risk we have is nine months, that's a long time. a lot of bad things can happen. they always say in speeches and rallies, if you take the 10 worst presidents in the history of our country and add them all up, you can add themstun -- has. the general was saying he can't believe what's happening. last year almost a hell of all -- half of all ice arrests -- 3000 robberies. 6009 hundred burglaries. 7500 weapons crimes. this is all migrant crime. 4300 sex crimes. 1700 homicides and murderers

it does seem to match the same as the migration hotspot might have shifted away from brownsville. but this board of town has seen its impact up close vis you are is one of the entry points here in brownsville, texas. the place of president biden visited today. he is under pressure not just from democrats, in migration activists, but also from republicans who try to pin an increase of our regular migration is a failure of bite and era policy. at the same time, democrats are saying the republicans have no interest in solving this issue to keep this front in central until the president selections of november. so let's take a closer look at this now with data be reported, williams, blue cross william barton is under pressure not just from republicans, but also from democrats and migration. active is to, as we heard this, he managed to score any points with his visit to the border. while i see that report, we just heard from our colleague was really fantastic. it really hit hit everything right on the head about all the problems there and the frustrations because we heard that that, th

president joe biden visited brownsville where migrant and hennings have dropped dramatically in recentonths as you said, largely due to the installation of razor wire a tactic the biden administration oppose. former president donald trump was just over 300 miles away in eagle pass texas and what the texas tribune is calling the current epicenter of immigration enforcement efforts. texas governor greg abbott joined trump during his trip. both went after the president, listen. >> i don't think he's on the border itself right now he's in some sanitized location in the brownsville area not seeing the razor wire that texas has put up around brownsville. >> but is a joe biden invasion. this is a biden invasion over the past three years. >> reporter: biden didn't announce any new policy proposals while in texas today, but he did call out republicans in congress for recently blocking a border security deal calling the move political. >> so here's what i would say to mr. trump. instead of playing politics with the issue, instead of telling members of congress to block this legislation, join me

look, the story of brownsville here in milwaukee is one we see all across the country. our interstate highway system laid out in the 1950's was a ground breaking connection of our country from coast to coast was the purpose testify and transform the way people live, work, and travel. instead of communities, it divided them. these highways actually tore them apart. i come from a city, wilmington, delaware, where the same thing happened, we're in a situation where i-95 is four lanes going through a community that was all african-american and just split it and it's now about maybe 70 yards wide and i yet, why did yt first? i don't know. all kidding aside the same thing happened here and other citys across the country. there are cities all across the country where the highways used to be along red lining -- along with red lining, they disconnected entire communities from opportunities. sometimes in an effort to reinforce segregation. that's what happened in milwaukee. more than a hundred years ago, brownsville was the home of a thriving hub of black culture and commerce, ho
