guest: we have been involved in central america for a long time. or a while we were fighting communism and other things but i think to blame the united states 30 or 40 years later is not a great argument. there's a lot of corruption and poverty. it's not really our fault that is happening. we've often try to help countries in central america with aid and things like that. i think if wife was better in mexico or other central american countries we would not see as much pressure on the southern border. that is a fact. i'm not sure how we tackle that. host: your family knows about this coming from hungary in the late 1960's. guest: my parents defected in 1968. facing socialism. note was poverty but it was the sort of poverty they are facing in honduras or places like that. it was more a lack of freedom or the ability to do what you could do in a society here with capitalism. i think they were running away from something a bit different. they were not going to star and they were not worried about their families starving. host: we know the president sle

shows isn't it isn't it isn't it the case that many of the migrants who are on the move from central america swards the u.s. border choosing to stay in mexico having been offered asylum and it's by the mexican government and as you heard a few moments ago most illegal drugs come through official ports of entry well again while people are being processed in asked to stay in mexico this was not necessarily the policy that existed before president trump and our immigration system you know asked people to stay in mexico mind you people can apply for asylum in their home countries all of the countries where these people from the migrant caravans are coming from do have embassies and consulates from america and those countries where they can apply for asylum in exactly the same way mind you they're also not taking the most direct route to america they're going all the way to california versus going to the closest port of entry or the closest border crossings which would be in texas so there's clearly some calculation going on behind this to go into some areas versus others all right jeff what do y

this, that our issues with central america are not recent. they go down -- they go back decades. if you look at the movie the good shepherd, you see how we treated central america as basically a colony. price ofe paying the not managing those relationships with those central american countries properly. generations, even. it just seems like that is something that is not considered in managing the problem. that is my comment. host: is this in your wheelhouse? involved inve been central america for a long time and for a while we were fighting communism and other things. the blame -- to blame the united states 30 years later is not a great argument. there was a lot of corruption and poverty and it is not our fault that is happening. we have often tried to help countries in central america with things like that. that is part of it. was better in central american countries, we would not see as much pressure on the southern border. i am not sure how we tackle that. host: your family knows about that, coming from hungary in the late 1960's. guest: my parents defected and came here. host

it's something that is a continuous presence throughout central america and into the u.s. and i think it is unfortunate that we always investigate, research, and talk about central america and never about the u.s. side of this. because it does exist. and as for cartels and gangs, it's country-by-country. when i was working in el salvador, it was a very different environment than mexico. in mexico city, i walked the streets and had a pretty normal life. in el salvador, almost every area of the city is controlled by gangs, very few people out. everybody is always in a car. people congregate at shopping malls. it felt very restrictive and dark for me. so it really depends on where you are in terms of what gangs and cartels are running things. and it evolves quite quickly. there is old cartels and new cartels. the other day i was talking to somebody who works on cartels, and he said the old drug cartels are media friendly. they are like, you want an interview? new drug cartels that which are run by 14-year-old, they are like isis. they might shoot you if they are high. it is v

there were 1700 women and children fleeing central america, seeking asylum in this facility. the reason we went, is we took 14 georgetown law students, and two law professors down with us to spend a week helping these asylum-seekers process their cases. so i had very good insight as to what's going on with asylum- seekers, and understanding the conditions they are fleeing in central america. it reminded me why we have asylum laws in this country and why it is so important that we do things to help stabilize countries in central america. about three or four months before that, i went to a different part of the border, mcallen, texas, and that area with some of my colleagues to actually understand some of the on the border security issues, right? some of the trade issues going on. i have spent a lot of time on the border, which i think you have to do and i think your question is good because we shouldn't be talking about these things unless we actually seen them, and talked to the people, and understood what's going on. >> from washington, d.c., angela is next. >> good morning.

that is countries in the middle east and north africa and that's countries in central america, and it start to be other countries as well. but i think it is mostly countries that produce a lot of refugees and forced migrants trying to come to the u.s. i think it gets defined backwards. basically, if you are trying to get in, we don't want you. >> what is the biggest misconception about refugees? >> oh, there are so many big misconceptions about refugees. i mean i think the right and the left each have their own set of misconceptions. i think there's a seers of misconceptions on the right that, you know, refugees are terrorists, that refugees take american jobs, that trfrefugeese a strain on the economy. there are misconceptions on the left that refugees are sort of needy, helpless victims, and the reason to take refugees this is we have some sort of moral obligation to help them as they're like strong international brethren. i think that that's sort of like equally ill-conceived. >> there's been a lot of attention on this question of family separation in light of the trump administrat

assistance to central america to address the root problems causing people to flee their countries and come to america. and immigration judges, a great shortage there, to process the asylum cases. these are smart uses of taxpayer dollars. these are effective solutions, i think all republicans and all democrats should be able to agree on. if we look to areas of agreement we can get to a package that works for our committees and the american people. the house and senate appropriations committee, i have been proud to serve almost all the time i've been in the senate in the appropriations committee. i've seen the house and senate appropriations committees come together to solve tough problems through hard work, compromise and bipartisanship. this should be no different. rarely has the work of our appropriations committee been watched as closely as today. the american people want us to get our jobs done. the constitution says in article 1, section 9, no money shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law. that's our responsibility. we don't cede it to any

not want to be caught but now we have the added element and dynamic of having family units from central america they're giving themselves up the border patrol which brings in terry prices images recently captured by billions you need show families crawling under a small fence into the u.s. even though the total number of our preventions along the border has dropped over the last two decades the agents say their job is no more difficult than ever we're in the city of nogales agent hernandez shows us the existing border fence here only recently has concertino wire been installed on top of it. we know that there is certainly a possibility that people can still come over or drive as i come over and recognize that but it's definitely a tool that works effectively and in this particular area has completely changed the landscape for more security less illegal crossings that sounds like an argument for presidents drums border war. neither the shutdown nor trams plans for a border war have been popular in downtown dallas we need each album says the city's mayor democrat to regard the economy's on both s
