other side of the board their are apparently coordinating and i say apparently, with department of homeland security. security officials and these report haves been established and they're coming out and what they're doing is they're trying to maneuver large groups away, the texas department of public safety away from national guards and -- pete: who's coordinating this? >> center for immigration studies had a reporter on the other side in matamoros and appears it's department of homeland security. department of homeland security officials with mexican immigration officials. so this is very, very concerning. as rachel said earlier, we have a number of children being trafficked into the united states and we have reports, i have actually done those reports for fox news where i've spoke ton smugglers and i've spoken to law enforcement officials and intelligence officials that people are being brought into the united states as pseudo modern day slavery and 85% of children released from custody from health and human service haves disappeared into the united states. there's nobody checking in on these chi

in south texas, the department of homeland security says they've encountered an influx of migrants ahead of title 42's end, driven by an uptick in venezuelan nationals. still others wait in mexico, camped along the rio grande river. biden administration guidelines that kick in after may 11th promise more consequences like a one-way ticket on i.c.e. air. we watched as 133 migrants hands and feet shackled boarded a plane back to guatemala friday. in laredo, texas, this emergency shelter is a welcome reprieve for many like 29-year-old margarita who crossed the u.s.-mexico border pregnant with her 5 and 3-year-old daughters. back in venezuela she says there is nothing. the mayor of laredo has declared a city wide emergency. >> the disaster is an imminent disaster. it may not be here right now, but it's like a hurricane. you board before the hurricane. >> reporter: with this week's policy change u.s. officials expect as many as 10,000 migrants a day to traverse the u.s.-mexico border at crossings like the one behind me. >> thank you. >>> for more we're joined now by the homeland security secr

as you may be aware of the department released a statement earlier today regarding support to the department of homeland security which i will reiterate here from the podium at the request of the department of homeland security, secretary alston approved a temporary department of defense increase of an additional 1500 military personnel to supplement u.s. customs and border protection efforts on the u.s. southwest border. for 90 days, these 1500 personnel who will be sourced from thes. active-duty component will fill the critical capabilityto gaps such as ground-based detection and monitoring, datapa entry and warehouse support until they can address the needs through contracted support. military personnel will not directly participate in law enforcement activities. it's important to note the department is also evaluating options on how we might replace the forces in stride with other sources to include potentially forces from the reserve component and contracted support. while this request is t for 90 days ion would point out they he supported dhs on the southwest border for 18 of the last 22 years and every ye

tender britt noted the president's budget requested 1% reduction in funding for the department of homeland securitybut i have shared concerns about what that mean about the department. but the republican health response to that was a 22% cut in funding for the department of homeland security. which is seemingly catastrophic. let me just ask you a simple question. can you effectively fight the flow of fentanyl, detect the flow, sees a fentanyl into the united states if your budget is cut by 22%? cork simply had to contemplate making that significant of a cut to our budget we would look to nonpaid resources first. given what are salary percentages are that we them pretty quickly for non- pay and have to look at potential adverse personnel actions which would result in limiting our ability to affect operations, beaten nimble and adapt quickly to evolving threats. that could cascade into collapsing operations and staffing in our airports. and at a time we are looking to expand hours of operations honored northern border border that would be incredibly challenging to do that. question listed about 30 se

so the department of homeland security asked the pentagon if they would be willing to send an additional500 troops to support the department of homeland security's department to help manage that expected surge. importantly, these troops are not expected to perform a law enforcement function, meaning they won't be out in the field day to day engaging with migrants. but they are expected to help cbp, the custom and border patrol officials as well as dhs kind of free up resources so that that department can then perform its law enforcement functions. so what does that mean? that means that essentially these troops will be doing administrative tasks. they will be doing things like data entry, warehouse support, logistics, things that will essentially keep them behind a desk. but still, the fact that the department of homeland security requested this additional support really underscores just how concerned the administration is about a potential major migrant surge on may 11th, the day that that title 42 pandemic law is set to expire. and we should also note that these troops are only expecte

we have surge resources not just the department of homeland security, but the department of justice and bringing immigration judges to work alongside asylum officers to address the expedited removal process. we have surge the resources that we have, and given the resources that we have been given by congress, which is less than what we need (what we requested to meet the count of the best of our abilities. i think if you are appreciated. thank you all. thank you. exeter secretary would you call the crisis? rex guy's, we are way over time. even our amazing cleaning crew has come in a couple of times. i can take a couple of questions but we really have to wrap up. we have been going for almost an hour. okay. i have to meet someone i'm not called on yet. [laughter] wait in the back right there. >> thank you so much. i could lend is not among the nominees and audit. biden still support him among apparent concerns from some democrats? white is the white house or to get them over the finish line? rex we take our nominees very seriously. the president puts forth the nominees he believes are re

we in the department of homeland security are of course addressing security of the border. managing that in a humane and orderly way. we are working with the state department to build regional processing centers. to provide a lawful pathways. and increase access for people to access relief. the vice president harris is addressing the root causes of why people flee their countries of origin in the first place. addressing the systemic poverty, violence, corruption. prosecution, authoritarian regimes. she's done an extraordinary job of driving more than three billion dollars of investment in the countries of origin. this is a multi pronged approach. fundamentally, jonathan, fundamentally we need congress to fix what everyone agrees is a broken immigration system. >> to that point, in the days leading up to the end of title 42. congress did do something. republican-controlled house did pass the -- what they call the secure the border act of 2023. which would among other things restart construction of the border wall. and severely restrict asylum. is that the action you are look

the department of homeland security is supposed to take care of actual terrorism, supporting our borders dollar they spend that they're not focused on their critical, core missions, is a dollar that's not being spent on the things they're supposed to be doing. this is consistent with joe biden's agenda. it was just yesterday he was speaking at howard university where he told this class of graduating students that the greatest threat, the greatest domestic terrorism threat in america came from white nationalists. i mean, they're completely dislodged from reality, but this is what they do. this is who they're looking at. if you are a conservative especially, if you are someone who has traditional values, you better watch out because uncle joe is watching. rachel: yeah. no, you're absolutely right. this is part of that agenda to say that white nationalism, that's biggest threat. and, of course, we know they're also looking at traditional catholics and now pro-life moms. it's outrageous considering how unsafe our country is right now, especially with our southern border e. we really apprecia

department of homeland security could not be more proud of the work the department has done in particular was in stopping potential attack at the beginning as a number of potential after 9/11. you are still concerned about international terrorism standoff no according to the fbi domestic terrorism evidence. i am glad you made it clear how about chinese-americans. families, students, teachers, doctors, people in my community in houston texas. i want them to know i could not sit in this hearing if this is an attack on asian americans, chinese-americans we've seen the rise of hatred so i noticed your position threatens, let us refrain particularly about what we are doing here. i have to respect my friend but i have one question about hunter biden haven't seen any association with mr. biden, the president of the united states of america. as parents we have our children and we love them so let me ask, right now you cannot come here to discuss hunter biden, is that correct? nor are you here to discuss the president of the united states hunter biden other than your recognition. thank you so very

of homeland security. i have seen an extraordinary workforce. berlin blue uniform and u.s. customs and border protection, across the expanse of the department of homeland security and quite frankly the entire administration for this administration addresses challenges as one team in all of government approach. >> chief, thank you for taking my question. back in march and mcallen utah republican lawmakers the u.s. does not have an operational control of the southern border you still stand by that statement and if so do you need to gain control of the border? >> the question was posed during my hearing was the congressional legislative definition of operational control were nobody crosses the border but i've been doing this job for 32 years. we have never had operational control when various levels of control? yes most certainly. even was the acting chief or deputy for five and half years. this side of the valley was very secure. out on my west side we had surges quite often. place out across the entire stretch of the 2000-mile border we share with mexico. i have some sectors i have greater levels of confidence and just because the flow isn't

is it the department of homeland security, senator, or the cartels in mexico? >> cartels run illegal immigration on the mexican side of the border. the american people pay for the last mile. illegal immigrant pays the cartel to get to the border. once you get to the border, you are processed and nobody ever sees you again. >> john: question goes to the idea, who is in control here? >> they are in control of the illegal immigration up to the border. our border, the biden administration is in control in theory and they are failing. what would i say today that nobody on our side of the border can in control, that if you think our border is not open you should not be allowed to drive. how can the secretary of homeland security stand in front of the american people given the image we are seeing today and saying the system is working. it's not working, and what the corrective action, if you get nothing else out of the interview, what he's saying about changing policy won't work. it's gonna get worse, not better. >> sandra: he just talked about all the resources they h

next one, the department of homeland security warns potential violence ahead of next year's election.l attackers may be motivated to violence, specifically attacks on government buildings and minority groups by, quote, legislative or judicial decisions pertaining to sociopolitical issues. this is the head of the election, this is the eighth bulletin by the department of homeland security since the capital rise january 6th. stuart: pull out all the stops. we got to get back to the markets. they are acting up. lou is back, you know what i'm going to talk about. you know. we've got to talk about something else. nvidia. you've been telling us it is the wrong player because it is so expensive but look at the stock. are you going to change your mind? >> boy do i look stupid. but i'm a data 3. i'm use to being stupid. i would not chase this. this is reminiscent of tesla in 2,020 one where you paired strong growth with runaway hype for electric vehicles, and out runaway hype for a i and you get these onyx mineable and unjustifiable stock moves, congratulations to adam johnson and mark tepper

a polarizing collection will further inflame the culture war in the us this week, the department of homeland security warrant of a rise in right wing terrorism. the potential targets including the l g b, t q community as well as racial and ethnic minorities. now, while the debate over gun controls remains deadlocked in washington, one organization says the best protection for vulnerable groups to give them guns as well. the w's in east of caught up with them. a rob roy's nose has guns inside and out. this is for the revolver. that's 9 millimeter. pretty standard. 45 days for the he's a certified hand gun instructor, but not what you might call a typical one. he isn't a police officer, he's not in the military, and he doesn't vote republican. he's a member of the socialist rifle association. and he knows his politics may be a bit out of place here at this rural shooting range in maryland. when he talks about the training he offers, he lowers his voice. so for what we're doing, the target group is to provide a safe space for trans, um, queer people of color and other marginalized groups to get this tra

the department of homeland security has been anything, but effective. have to talk to the border patrol agents. they've been under crisis for 2 months and see no end in sight and they are big in their political leadership to give them policies that work at the end of the day. i think if you come to el paso, the president was here a couple of months ago, the fact that he did not interact with any of these illegal aliens and the fact that they were cleaned up off the streets just tells you what it is, they didn't want to show him the truth because if you come to el paso today you will see a variety of migrants out here because there's nowher else to put them. texas has been overrun. other border states have been overrun. this is the reality and what happens when you don't have effective policies that deter and hold people accountable for illegal behavior. >> kayleigh: only 20 seconds here and you said there are 20000-40,000 illegal people waiting across-the-board or and wars, mexico. >> over 100,000 probably along the border from san diego to brownsville

the department of health and human services has a statutory obligation to care for unaccompanied alien children referred into its custody by the department of homeland security. it must also ensure these children are placed in the care of appropriate sponsors in the u.s. who are capable of providing for their physical and mental well-being. too often that's not happening. instead, reports indicate that secretary becerra has pushed to instill a culture at orr that prioritizes quote assembly line speed in releasing unaccompanied alien children to poorly vetted sponsors across the country to the detriment of our children's safety. and i'll tell you it's particularly aggravating to see all these kids come across the border and have the press not cover what's going on when these kids may never see their parents again. and just a few years ago, we had the press screaming about broken families. director marcos' predecessor was reportedly threatened with dismissal from what secretary becerra considered to be insufficient discharges of unaccompanied children in orr custody. she resigned shortly thereafter. reports revealed that many of these poorly vetted sponsors ex

extraordinary talent and heroism of the united states border patrol and the personnel of the department of homeland security better managing an extraordinary challenge in doing so successfully. number two it's very important to understand the great majority of people will be removed if they do not qualify for relief under the laws of the united states. >> secretary meyer christie talked about all the personnel you are surging to the border and you didn't mention fema personnel. mayors and county judges and border towns that you've spoken to say what they need is not to -- fema dollars to house and feed these migrant after your department releases them. why not send fema personnel to the border the way you would in any other emergency? >> the deployment of fema personnel is specific to a particular type of emergency, and emergent events but but this an ongoing challenge that quite frankly has vexed this country for decades because this country has been unable in congress has been unable to pass immigration reform that everyone agrees and understand this desperately needed. we are working with an immigration

. >> so alejandro mayorkas, the department of homeland security secretary, is really out there, beenut there now for several days, if not weeks, saying don't come to the migrant community. do not come. we are not going to let you in. is there any indication that they are getting the message? >> reporter: you know, jake, this is a phenomenon that's gone on for decades. we have seen countless of department of homeland security secretar secretaries deliver the same message. these migrants are fleeing something they feel they have a better life here. so even if they are getting that message, they are going to travel to the united states one way or another. >> thank you. migrants trying to enter the u.s., they are not just coming from mexico. many coming from south and central america and have traveled literally for months to reach the border. david culver journeyed on the train of death for a chance to make it into the united states. >> reporter: we are outside ciudad juarez and this is the last train stop for this freight train that's eventually going to head into the city. you can see

us-mexico border, as well as thousands more immigration officers and military leaders, the us department of homeland security previously said that even after 2 years of preparation, the us authorities expect a large number of clashes on the southern borders in the coming days. in the united states , the public debt continues to increase, which affects all sectors of society, as the american political scientist noted. steve samarin, in his opinion , the debt crisis threatens the security and well-being of the inhabitants of the states and the threat of default is becoming more and more real. in the united states, the system is economically arranged in such a way that everything is absolutely everything in debt , that is, both the household and legal entities and government. that is, this is how biden's economic systems are arranged for their three incomplete 3 years of their presidency. e, indulged, e, those forces that these debts are increasing. well, to some extent. yes, he arranged this upcoming default with his own hands, but even if this default does not happen, then we are simply delaying , we are dela

>> we are the department of homeland security with one of our agencies us citizenship and immigration is indeed surging asylum officers to the border patrol facilities as well as the immigration and customs enforcement detention facilities to conduct an unprecedented number of credible screenings under the asylum rule is going to be implemented beginning upon the end of title 42. we are searching approximately 1000 or more asylum officers for that purpose. it is important to note the asylum rule will take effect if individuals do not access their lawful pathways that we have made available to them. they will face a rebuttable presumption but a presumption of ineligibility. they will have to meet up higher bar. this president, our president has led the expansion of lawful pathways more than any other one else in our history . >> we have read the administration has assumed really migrants are being carefully vetted and we just as of the past year. >> afterwards we will release for the countries wondering how that process has been done and how secure you are of those betting. >> us custo

first department of homeland security is how to work with the state department establishing the processing of secretary clinton described. we are dedicating refugee officers to the centers. they will continue applicants for the u.s. refugee admissions program and provide for processing of a greater number of individuals. in addition to refugee processing migrants may be screened at these centers and referred to pursue additional pathways to the united states or other countries for which they may be eligible second, we are streamlining long-established family reunification processes for cubans and haitians so the individuals from these countries with approved family conditions can quickly reunite with their families here in the united states. third, i've directed family reunification process that will extend this well-recognized model for individuals from el salvador, pall mall, honduras and columbia. more about these processes will be available by may 11. we will continue successful processes we announced in january. through our one, act we will enable individuals to schedule more appointm

the department of homeland security has been anything but an effective.and i think you just havythibut to look, listen and talk to the border patrol agents. they're frustrated. moow've been in a crisis for twenty seven months and they see no end in sight and they're begging to gi their political leadership to give them policies that worke at the end of the day.. and they're getting that. you c i think ifom you come to el pas, look, the president was here col dist a couple of months ago. the fact that he did noty of interact with any of theseclea illegal aliens in the fact thats they were cleaned off off the streets just tells you whae it is . t they didn't want to show himyouo the truth, because if you come to el paso, today, you're going to see a variety of migrants out here because there's no else to put them.. texas has been overrun. other border states have been i overrun. and this is the reality and this is what happens when you don't have effective policies that deter and hold people accountable. for illegal behavior. >> secretary wolf, i only have

the department of homeland security secretary's visit comes as title 42 comes to an end a week from today. currently the rule allows the u.s. department of homeland security could expel migrants. many truckers were stuck for more than 24 hours due to the new inspections. the line to enter the bridge stretching for miles, and it's important to note they are not looking inside the trucks to look for migrants or other contraband. that is done by u.s. customs and border protection officers at the port of entry. the infections are expected to run through sunday. dps officials have not said an official reason behind why they started performing them. in nearby el paso, hundreds of migrants continue to gather as city leaders enforce a no camping rule that started monday. many local shelters there are over capacity. earlier this week, the pentagon announced it's sending an additional 1,500 troops to the border ahead of the title 42 expiration next week. there are already about 2,500 troops already there. they will not be armed or use force or make arrests, but they will support border patrol as ne

security of the united states border. that we have to force the department of homeland security to secure the border. what this bill will do is to codify into law the effective policies under the previous administration that left this president with a secure border. what did this president have to do to maintain a secure board her nothing but keep the policies in place that he inherited. mr. good: we are currently averaging some 10,000 illegals per day invading the country and what is the response of the democrats on the other side in this administration? we can do better. we're having some 300,000 illegals invade the country on a monthly basis, think the three largest football stadiums in the country that equivalency, invading our border every day, invading our country. yet we cannot get one democrat vote? i predict to vote to secure our border, to protect our country's national securitiing our health security, our economic security. this bill will build the wall, it will hire more border agents, it will enhance technology to assist them, it will require transparency and accountability from this der

maria: joining me right now is former acting department of homeland security secretary and america firstchad wolf. i know that you're expecting a surge of migrants once title 42 goes away. what can you tell us? >> well, i'm on the ground here in el paso and have been here for a couple of dais and i think we are starting to see before title 42 is lifted you are seeing surge and influx of more and more migrants and so after title 42 is lifted at midnight tonight, largely single adults and male and the administration will no longer have that option. they will be released into american communities because of the strategy that's been employed over the last 27 months simply hasn't been work and unfortunately they doubled down on it. maria: yeah, president trump was talking about legal immigration versus illegal migration last night in that town hall. what is your sense of why we haven't been able to see a legal immigration policies changes so far? the republicans have the border bill as their second most important bill, the hr2. >> yeah, absolutely. i think looking at and reforming our legal p

. >> the department of homeland security put out numbers concerning what are known as encounters. i will show those in a second but could you describe what an encounter is? guest: somebody that crosses the border illegally and we take them into custody. we ultimately perform an arrest on those individuals, we take them back to the border patrol station and fingerprint them. we see if they have a criminal record here in the united states. the problem is that is all we can check. we can check what is here in the united states or an interpol hit, we cannot check with their criminal records are in their home country. host: so for those numbers for april, they reported over 211,000 encounters down from a high lasting in february of 251,000. back to 2020, and april of that year 17,000 encounters. what are the best ways to understand the increases of numbers? guest: everything is about risk reward. if people believe they can cross illegally and be released, that means there are no consequences for violating our laws and that is what we have seen. when you look even under title 42 we were

nile, let me ask you about a new lawsuit demanding the department of homeland security release princeied about drug use on his paperwork after admitting to using drugs in his memoir, nile? >> the oversight project has basically taken the department of homeland security to federal court to compel dhs to release the immigration application of prince harry. prince harry has admitted to widespread extensive drug use. we want to know whether he was truthful and accurate in immigration application and whether or not he was given special favors in terms of waiver by u.s. authorities. so no one should be above the law here. everyone should be held to account. prince harry is no -- is no different and there are a lot of number of british citizens, for example, who are being denied visas to the united states because of drug use, so why was harry given some kind of special waiver here, special treatment. we want know who has had. accountability and transparency is what we are looking for. maria: good to see you. nile gardiner this morning. and to you. quick break and beyond the border crisis, bl

at the request at the department of homeland security, secretary austin has approved a temporary department of defense increase of additional 1500 military personnel to supplement u.s. customs and border protection efforts on the u.s. southwest border. furthermore, reads for 90 days they will fill critical capability gaps such as ground base detection and monitoring. these are the details that emerged earlier. data entry and warehouse support until cbp can address the needs through the contracted support. military personnel will not participate in the law enforcement activities. this deployment to the border is consistent with other forms of military support to dhs over many years. could that point, can you look back at when we saw similar measures taken under the trump administration? >> yeah, this did happen in the trump administration, i think the obama administration, the bush administration, so it's not new. it's important to know it should be temporary, right. i think around 2018, 19, whenever you saw temporary surge is he border, the trump administration moved to quickly get it under

and they gotten criticism for that and one thing that struck me over the weekend is the department of homeland security said the border crossings have reduced since the expiration of title 42 so i'm watching that. host: there is congressional action focusing on china, on the push for another bill focused on china and exports, what's the latest on that legislation? guest: there is a lot of attention on the house and senate side on china. leader schumer has announced this push that he hopes will be bipartisan to create this china bill that would be a compilation of different those across different committees and we will see hearing on that this week in the appropriations committee as they try to get ideas on the table. right now, republicans in the senate are talking to democrats but they are skeptical. they want to see focus on military aid to taiwan and less of a focus on the domestic investments that chuck schumer wants. on the house side, there is a lot of conversation about taiwan and other areas of potential bipartisan cooperation headquartered in this new china select committee. host: how much wor
