the texas military department calls cuellar's allegation, quote: wholly inaccurate. explaining mexico handled the drownings. in the latest doj filing, biden's own administration confirms border patrol showed up to the river after the drownings. writing: mexican officials also informed border patrol that three migrants, one women and three children had drowned despite the unconfirmed allegation dhs and the white house released statements insinuating white texas is to . the woman and two children drowned near eagle pass. texas officials blocked u.s. border patrol from attempting to provide emergency assistance. texas says the white house should correct the record but today the white house doubled down. >> the white house statement says that texas officials blocked u.s. border patrol from attempting to provide emergency assistance. >> there were other -- there were other migrants in the water as well. >> why wasn't that included in the statement. >> there were other migrants. >> if that. >> our statement is very much consistent with doj filing. >> on immigration, anothe

joining me now is henry cuellar, a democrat. thanks for being with us today. you listen to that? we look at the numbers. 302,000 crossed in the month of december. just as a benchmark in december, the last december of the trump administration that number was around 70,000. >> well, look, without a doubt, last month and december we saw over 300,000 individuals for one month. the last three years we've seen numbers we have never seen. do we have a crisis at the border? yes. i was listening to what speaker johnson said. i thank him and the other republicans for coming down to the border. spending a few hours down at the border is always good. some of us live here 24 hours a day. so there's two things that i took from him. first of all, the first thing is does the president have the authorities to secure the border without any changes. the answer is yes. president obama did that with secretary jay johnson where the numbers were even lower than president trump. he deported more people. so the authorities are there right now. the second thing i took from speaker john

congressman cuellar is right, they are encouraging people to come here with the pull factor. even when they do get these asylum hearings six, seven, eight, nine years down the road, if we have an administration similar to this administration, they're not going to be deported. the stated policy is they only deport the most serious criminals that have to be convicted. so people are not getting asylum are not showing up for hearings, or otherwise are not even being deported. i think there's over a million people who have orders of deportation and this administration is doing nothing to deport them. people know once they get here, assuming political winds do not change in this country, they are staying here and in effect they are treated as good or better than citizens in many cases. >> rich: what does 2024 look like? >> i think it would be the same order, in fact, worse. at 300,000 number doesn't even count the got-oas, that could be 60,000 or 70,000 a month. when people are looking at this, they know once they get here, they get to stay, they also know that there's an election

well, joining me now, congressman henry cuellar of texas. i'm so glad that you are here with us today, congressman. surely you have been following not just today but over the days, the weeks, the months, the years the success of presidential administration's. you represent a border district, congressman. and the big question for so many people tonight is how much longer can this sort of posturing go on when there are real consequences in cities like yours? >> absolutely, there are real consequences every single day. you know, what new york and chicago and washington, d.c., are experiencing, we've been experiencing this for almost ten years or longer than that. we see this every day. and what we don't want is we don't want political narratives, where people come down and take a few photos, and then fit those images in their political narratives. what we want is real solutions -- so we can solve this, but it's going to be bipartisan. we can't have the speaker say h.r.2 for nothing. the legislative process doesn't work that way. we've got to be

open border policies is what they were called, henry cuellar is in the group, jared moskowitz, florida in the group as well, they are clearly worried how this is going to play in the general election in november. >> and they should be. it's an issue that trump is good at talking about. he has some cred on the issue. i'll say he did not get done on the border exactly what he said he was going to do, with mexico paying for the wall and all that, but i think he has a more compelling case on this because of the numbers during his time as president. >> john: obviously it got a lot of criticism but the remain in mexico policy was probably the most effective tool that has ever been used to stop cross border immigration. >> and one of the problems with the biden administration, they sort of govern in opposition to the trump administration, so says we don't like that rule because you like thad rule. let's look at the rule and see if it's working for the american people and working for the american people what you have to do to win the presidency. >> john: all right. we'll be watching going forw

governor abbott wrote about this on x, he said turns out rep cuellar forgot to get the facts.ly correct. everything we see from dhs is propaganda, trying to tell the american people that what's happening on the border isn't what their eyes are showing them. what we know about this is we know that even if we would have had access to the river, we wouldn't have been able to get there on time. we don't have boats that operate at night and if we try to deploy our boats to the river at that time those people would have already drowned. there's nothing we could have done even if we had access to shelby park and i'm telling you, we don't need access to shelby park. i'm glad for what governor abbott is doing. it's allowing us to be able to deploy resources to other areas we can't -- we haven't been able to patrol for several years now. that's allowing us to go after the got-aways, that segment of people that cause a great deal of problems in the united states. what he is doing is operating at as a force multiplier. it's very good what he's doing for the american people, something that

specifically in texas, congressman henry cuellar whose district is not far from the border, has beenalling out this administration from the very beginning of it saying more needs to be done. what is your assessment of how the biden administration has handled it so far? >> i think we're on the right track, but so much more needs to be done. again, i think people need to understand it's an ongoing global issue that's been inherited, that's been around for many, many -- during many, many presidents. this president put a stop to some of the horrific policies of trump, separating children -- putting children in kcages -- >> however the single month number of encounters for border patrol hit a 25-year high. >> i was going to get to that. he also canceled some of the foreign economic aid that went to some of these countries. when you do that and take the money that they were getting for economic development, job creation, to be able to keep people working in their countries, well, then, of course, they're going to try to find another means. everybody that wants to survive, everybody wants t

it is hurting democrats across the country, particularly in big cities and congressman henry cuellaral times to fix the situation at the border and at some point men to the president can get back to his job and fix the border and stop the chaos. >> mike: you have mayores calling for action. i had by partisan lawmakers calling for action, calling for solutions. so what about the politics of this. >> i think what is interesting is the three republicans you cited one on vacation. the house left was in the middle of negotiations. this is something that president biden has tried to address. he sent legislation to the congress and it just has not moved because republicans like using this as a political football. and goes all the way back a decade. i remember in 2013, we were negotiating comprehensive immigration reform and john weiner killed it the house. joe biden wants to come to the table. he sent a supplemental to congress. so it is incumbent on republican senators take this seriously and not just treated as a political issue. >> mike: so what kind of responses can we expect from congr

henry cuellar is living there.presents that southeastern district and this is what he said. >> the border has been ignored. they are listening too much to the immigration activists. the white house and a lot of members of congress and the senate listen to the immigration advocates but who is listening to the border communities? we are losing democrats. they feel the democratic party, the president is not doing enough. >> bill: coming up in an election year and the president said last night when he got back to the white house we have to do something. >> i don't know what he is waiting for. that's a good question. i don't know what he is waiting for. he could direct secretary mayorkas to immediately start adjudicating some of these claims within six months. spend the money to secure the border, fix the holes, fix the gaps. work with mexico to stop the influx coming directly from every other place on the planet, not just south america. he is not doing that. what we're seeing right now and that brings up a good point,

henry cuellar of texas is saying this isn't working and things have to change. >> they are realizing the truth, sorry it took three years to do it. we know the crisis is going on since day one and affecting american cities. every city is a border city, every state is a border state. not only the illegal aliens all over the country, the fentanyl coming across the border is making it into every town, city and state in this nation. so it is a nationwide problem. >> john: so meeting between mexican official and biden cabinet officials, and a question, what took so long. i would think during a trump administration, the former president would have told mexican officials what needs to happen and say if you don't do that, you'll suffer the consequences. >> he would, he did. president trump, his negotiation with mexico went one way. you will put military on the border, you will put in the third country agreement and if you don't i'll tear up the hell out of you into billions of dollars. he drove the conversation. what's happening today, i guarantee you, end up giving mexico millions and milli

the battle game even more heated when democratic congressman henny cuellar that taction is to blame forthe drowning death of a mother and son on friday. dhs released a statement backing that claim. the texas military department strongly denies the allegation saying mexican authorities handled the drownings and white house weighed in on unfirmed allegation writing in part "on friday night a woman and two children drowned near eagle pass and texas blocked u.s. border patrol from attempting to provide emergency assistance". in the newest court filing, department of homeland security confirms what texas actually says happened and the drownings occurred around 8:00 p.m. and mexican authorities handled the incident and didn't alert the u.s. till one hour after the migrants died. dhs writes in the latest filing, "mexican officials informed border patrol that thee migrants, one woman and two children drowned at approximately 8:00 p.m. in the same area". aside from the drowning of the three migrants, dhs argues it was trying to rescue two other myograns in the area and claim that -- myograns in

democrat congressman henry cuellar said the president has all the power to stop the crisis he ignited and jay johnson used existing law to detain and deport illegal aliens but speaker mike johnson and your colleagues say biden could end this by wiping out his own executive orders that wiped out trump policies. what do you say? >> he could absolutely end this immediately. i would have to say to define this as a challenge is absolutely disgusting. it's not a challenge to the individuals who have lost their lives to fentanyl overdoses or to or to the daughter of woman that testified in front of homeland security committee last week that was raped and brutally murdered by a gang member who came across our southern border. i don't think it's a challenge to those that have now turned their lives over to cartels. that's not a challenge, it's a crisis and that's why house republicans are doing their best to impeach mayorkas and get our country back on track. elizabeth: congressman d'especiad'esposito, thank you r joining us. we have a jam packed our and kevin o'leary and washington times char

elizabeth: to what chad just said, art, come on in on this because democrat henry way or -- cuellar of texas, he said the laws exist now to stop the border crises the president ignited. he could rescind also all of his executive actions that weakened the border, and he could support the house bill that would strengthen the border. but he won't. where do you come down on this? >> look, elizabeth, i've lived here my if entire life. i've a been here my entire life on the border, and i can tell you right now nothing was as a good as when mr. wolf and president trump were running things, and nothing is add -- as bad as it is now. you're going to see people from both sides of the aisle talking about it because the cartels that are in charge of bringing everything into the country illegally, they don't care what side of the aisle americans are. they just want to fill their pockets and destroy american hives. and under this administration, the only winners are the cartels. and the rest of the country are big losers because this administration failed to want to do the right thing. elizabeth: we

over the weekend, democratic congressman henry cuellar tweeted that texas is to blame for the drownings because texas blocked border patrol from entering this park to access the river rescue. however, the texas military department claims that -- give you a second, another potential rescue happening here right now. texas military department claims that that allegation is wholly inaccurate, saying mexico handled the drowning deaths and border patrol showed up after the incident. despite the unconfirmed allegation, the white house released a controversial statement over the weekend insinuating texas is to blame, writing in the first line, on friday night a woman and two children drown near eagle pass and texas officials blocked u.s. border patrol from attempting to provide emergency assistance. i asked the white house if it plans to clarify that statement, the white house says it stands by that statement. the texas attorney general says the american public is owed an explanation. >> when you accuse somebody of being part of causing the deaths of migrants you ought to have your facts. if yo

joining me to discuss is democratic congressman henry cuellar, who represents a nearby texas border districtat republican -- thank you for joining the newshour. i should note your colleague republican congressman tony gonzales, who represents eagle pass, declined our invitation for an interview. your district neighbors eagle pass. what have you heard from state and federal officials about the deaths of the migrants? laura: if the state would -- >> if the state would not have kicked out the border patrol agent and removed equipment like the scope truck they had come of the scope truck is a key element they use to make sure they survey the border, the river, and i think that would have played an important role when they got the distress call. now, because of the state action, the governor's action, what is happening now? the state is defending on deflecting on what happened. if they would have allowed border patrol to do their work, we wouldn't be talking about the story except may be a mother and an eight-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy would have drowned. laura: homeland security is now
