cvp did end up blocking those migrants and we want to show you this second piece of video.ake a look at this. this is not every day you see this at a port of entry. the mexican military was called in. you'll see two lines of mexican military, soldiers guarding the mexican side of the bridge and the camera will pan around and see the u.s. response, which was a serious one. you'll see that blockade and the dozens of officers and the crowd control gear and barbed wire set up. cvp telling us they effectively repelled this mass movement saying in part "a large group of individuals formed on the mexican side of the border and approached the international boundary posing a potential threat to make a mass entry. the cvp response included deployment of physical barriers to restrict entry and, stuart, it wasn't only at that single bridge. cvp said two other bridges in el paso had to be temporarily shut down yesterday after migrants started gathering at those bridges as well. we'll send it back to you. stuart: that was a charge. bill melugin, thanks very much indeed. silicon valley ba

skirmish line set up where the barricades and barbed wire and dozens of cvp officers in crowd controlr. we are told they called in mobile response teams and a special response team as well to try to repel those people, but there was a standoff in the middle of the bridge for several hours. they close the port of entry, and you can see the mexican military responded as well. a couple lines of mexican soldiers were patrolling the mexican side of the bridge. the camera will turn around, and you will see the u.s. response. it was a very significant one with, again, a skirmish line, physical barricades, barbed wire. not something we are typically used to seeing at a port of entry anywhere along the southern border, telling fox they set that up in response to "a large group of individuals formed on the mexican side of the border and approach the international border, posing a potential threat to make a mess entry. the cvp response included the deployment of physical barriers to restrict entry, and back out here live, they say they had to actually close down and barricade two other bridges i

sources over 1.2 million known got-aways evaded cvp. how many since located by cvp what are the current steps taken by the department of homeland security and processing individuals who have been captured and detained and how many immigrants who were unknown to dhs have been detained and departed the past two years he said he had that information, i asked for answer to come back in about a week and sent this january 31st. mr. chairman, i have yet to receive a response. from something that apparently they had at their fingertips, but luckily for me, today i got a call from a friend of mine who has some of the answers. and here are some of the answers and he said that he was speaking to a friend of ours or a friend of his down in miami who's recently sent $20,000 to cuba to have a migrant come over to mexico and then they were transported across the border. so, $20,000. when the migrant came across he was immediately given a cell phone. he was given a plane ticket, and he was given $1600 a month for six months in federal assistant and has

we have been here two months waiting here and we're desp desperate. >> reporter: cvp tells fox news theyad to temporarily shut down two other ports of entry in el paso yesterday after migrants were seen gathering near those bridges as well. reporting in mission, texas, bell melugin, fox news. >>> as the border crisis gets worse -- if that's even possible -- we're now joined by fox news contributor tom homan. you watch those pictures, tom -- thank you for coming on. we appreciate it -- you watch those pictures and it just seems like we take our eye off the ball a little bit because something is happening with the banking and the next thing you know, you have 1,000 migrants crossing the border in el paso. what is going on down there? who starts the rumor that the border is open on facebook? >> you know, i don't know who started the rumor on facebook but the aliens know the border's open. since joe biden's been president, there's nearly 6 million encounters on the southern border. 5.5 million encounters. add that 1.2 million get aways. these people have friends and relatives that have alrea

saying that they are catching about 95% of that, but what i have heard is what you're giving us, the cvp numbers, you are not giving us the numbers that are coming from air and marine operations, you are not including the coast guard, you're not including the dea, you are not including what is found by state and local law enforcement, why won't you look at the holistic number of what everybody is finding? >> senator, the scourge of fentanyl is something that we do not in anyway underestimate. if i may, let me share with you, as i mentioned earlier, i served as a federal prosecutor for 12 years. i prosecuted -- >> you are not answering my question and i've only got 3 minutes left. why do you not include what everybody is finding, state and local law enforcement, the dea -- >> we do. the question that was posed to me was with respect to the southern border and how fentanyl is trafficked into the united states. >> i need to move on, but if you will -- >> the vast majorities brought through ports of entry. >> i beg to differ. when you talk to border patrol and local sheriffs, i would like to

hundred or thousand+ people and told it could be the typical season decline and newest numbers from cvpmber there was a record high of 302,000 migrant encounters nationwide and then to 154,000 at the border and some type of slow down and the numbers from february show there are 150,000 encounters this past month and if you compare to three years ago, february 2020, that number was 50,000 and the numbers are still extremely, extremely high and perhaps becoming accustomed to the really high numbers. back to you. stuart: matt flynn, thank you for that report. the sheriff of martin county, florida, is sheriff snyder and he's joining me now. what's the impea impact of your community on the migrants sailing to your community? >> mr. varney, good be on your show today. we feel the impact. we're like a sandwich being squeezed. we have undocumented immigrants coming to us from the southern border and have friends and family here and then our own landing and one earlier this week where 78 undocumented aliens were on a fishing boat and came across onto our beach. the impact to us -- stuart: who pa

nogalis, arizona, cvp officers seizing 550,000 fentanyl pills in a two day span this week and all ofse pills hidden inside of drug smugglers vehicles cocoming in from mexico. that single port of entry seized more than 23 million pills just since october 1. in the meantime, take a look at these images. late yesterday afternoon, the bodies of the two americans killed in that cartel attack in mexico were finally return to do the united states and those are the bodies of the two men and now back on u.s. soil they'll undergo autopsies here and in the meantime, the cartel is apparently apologizing for that attack. take a look at these images, a remarkable development. the gulf cartel tide up five of their seizure disorders car owes and -- sicarios and left a handwritten apology letter saying they were undies linned and acted without the direction of cartel leadership. they apologized to the families of the americans and they apologized to the innocent bystander in mexico killed during that gunfire. back out here live, circling back to the mexican president's comments that fentanyl isn't pr

where most of the fentanyl is pouring in from mexico and look at these images that just a two day span cvpicers at the port of entry seized more than 550,000 fentanyl pills. two separate busts, 219,000 pills one day and 343,000 bill pills the next day. all hidden in vehicles and drug smuggler vehicles trying to get into the united states from mexico. this stat is staggering. that port of entry and that single port of entry just since october 1 seized more than 23 million fentanyl pills already. one sing the spot on the border. back out here live, circling back to the mexican president and fentanyl isn't produced in his country but it's just a bit of a head scratcher to him to say that. just three weeks ago, the mexican army announced what they described as the biggest fentanyl lab bust in history in sinaloa and mexico's president talked about it during a press conference where he highlighted that drug lab bust and now he's saying stuff like that doesn't happen at all. we'll send it back to you. >> sandra: bill melugin on all of that for us. brownsville, texas. bill, thank you. it's one of

intervention program colludes and because they're being overrun.g there's whole shifts with entire cvp agency supposed to be watching our border and they're actually working as processers at attention facilities and they're not getting detained. they're being transported to wherever they want to bene in te could be triple-demic. country. to theed tune of over 5 million encounters. millions over the last two years. then about a million and two known got aways and anyone that watches knows it's 1: 1 on the known got aways and when we showed you the video earlier today, these are young, men and women dressed in camo, they don't want to be caught and they're transporting this drug across the border. across the reservation and goes out to i-8 and there's place there is and you're a crow's fly about 30 miles southwest of phoenix and from there. it's going throughout the country and it's finding its way into the hands of college students that really, they don't know anything about fentanyl because it's not been made a big deal. we know about it because we talked about it. so when i hear peopl

to know, can americans pessimism improve as long as we keep bailing out the billionaires, tweet me @ cvpyne. plus my takeaway on the legitimate reasons millennials should be angry but here is the thing it's only one true course of action to fix it. all that and so much more on " making money." charles: man, economic data out this morning that for the most part points to slowing inflation , growing caution, the debate over whether this is enough to put the fed on pause so that's going to continue through the next round of data. so we got like a whole other month before the fomc meeting in may but here is the thing. we saw personal income climb five-tenths, personal spending only two-tenths so consequently savings soared again, 4.5%. folks savings rate was 3% back in september so obvious that household, american households are bracing for tough times and then there's powell's favorite inflation gauge, perm consumption expenditures, the headline was 5%, core 4.6% both slightly below consensus, but powell says we should look at the core service ex-housing declined to its lowest level in seve

that's what they're doing with the migrants, send them in waves across the southern border, the cvp is now nothing more than a concierge service, they're too busy processing them into the point of entry or wherever they take them on a bus. thank you for being here, you all for being here and i'll yield the reminder of my time. >> so, we heard about the u.s. citizens driving and bringing fentanyl up. they're coming through the ports of entry, why is that? because the cartels are hiring u.s. citizens because it's easier for u.s. citizen to drive through a port of entry than a foreign national. but it's the cartel that's controlling it. even our testimony last week, said there's no nobody that enters the u.s. without the cartel controlling it and i'll give you an example. we went out in this ridiculous caravan the other night to go to the border. as i got in that caravan, i said nobody's coming because the cartel would see 30 cars coming and they're not going to allow anybody to come. nobody came. not until everybody had gone and then they started to flow again. ladies and gentlemen, we d

combined medication with other services is $430 million to modernize the ports of entry to help improve cvp ability to detect the detect illicit drugs much of this was bipartisan republicans of the subcommittee seem to have forgotten the word some actively opposed it they title that the fentanyl crisis in america but it is no longer problem it suggests that there has been no action to address the crisis and they could not be more wrong action progress in the biden administrated some republicans prefer different actions some want to incarcerate our way out of the problem but also with past experiences does not work drug prosecution catches low-level dealers and very rarely leaders of trafficking organizations they recruit new dealers and have longer sentences for low-level dealers is not stop the flow of drugs into the community other republicans a tough immigration policy and the border wall period sentinel but the fact is not other side while is true a great deal sentinel comes into the united states from mexico, overwhelmingly it is us citizens, not migrants bringing it in. fentanyl is no

enclosures, and when the police arrived at the door, no one opened the door, volunteers arrived . we see the cvpn see the schedule, work schedule 24 on 7, as soon as the police leave the door opens the director of a specialized organization, florida nurgaliev explains. here is another way to look at who is torturing. and who, on the contrary, saves the animal. so, for example, this pet, their employees, only by a miracle, the owners of the dog managed to get out , putting a collar on it, they let it go outside and simply forgot about it right later, and when they took off the collar, they simply removed it or cut it out. how to remove it was impossible to express a collar with a dog breeder, they recommend better monitoring of pets and not letting them go to freedom if the animal walks without a human service staff. it is assumed that the owner is not present. local officials who conducted an audit on appeals to animal rights activists assure that there is no evidence of the killing of dogs by this specialized organization, there is no accusation against a specialized organization from animal ad

seizures are the neutralization, they are flooding crossing sites so your numbers are going to go up, cvpt at the crossing sites because they have to because the waves run by the cartel allowing him fentanyl, the dollarta price of fundable in my district according to sheriff's with from $85 and generate a 21 to $28 so the supply you get -- >> i do appreciate that. this is usually important and want to work with you on this. we are engaged in a copperheads of approach in the things we are doing at home to reduce demand and increased treatment are usually important and necessary insufficiency. the border itself you know from your work at least according to dhs about 90% -- 95% coming into the database for mexico is coming through legal points of entry. we have technology you i know are well aware of to detect efforts to smuggle through points of entry, the fentanyl being deployed. third, we working with yl mexico to try to disrupt the cartel to dismantle places fentanyl is manufactured. mexico usually is a security challenge, that's no secret. they put increased resources in, seizures of fe

cvp data shows more than 85% of the illicit fentanyl entering the united states brought in by citizens of the united states of america, i request unanimous consent to enter the 2022 cato institute report demonstrating illicit fentanyl is trafficked by us citizens? thank you. my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, to discourage both illegal and legal immigration. in comes the wall, we spent $15 billion of taxpayer money, the wall reminds me of a sad soviet stature, is the bigger failure that migrants find the way around it. >> one thing i would say, you talked about being an immigrant, i can tell you a week ago i drove past and the agent next to me. that is where i naturalized and became a us citizen. you talked to border patrol agents and recognized a great number are immigrants, first generation. >> something he saw from mexico. >> in san diego, he grew up on the border, you can see it. and his family recognized opportunity. >> a great story to here. >> we hear about the border and we are not being solution oriented. it is hyperbole and lies. we heard time and again and i will
