you have no el paso is great i was in el paso i believe it last may it's a wonderful city.et's take a look at present biden's $5.8 trillion budget request for fiscal year 2023. got up at some stats up for you. 56.7 billion for dhs department of homeland security. 1.4 billion for justice department's immigration courts. for u.s. eis u.s. citizen and immigration as you well know, 904 million out of which 765 million will be allocated specifically for caseload and backlog reduction for so i ask you, ron, when present biden returns to washington with fresh eyes from his border visit and for mexico city, will congress now have a legitimate reason or any reason to decline president biden's border funding request? >> what is going to be in that request question mccue allied some very specific things for it encrypts reporting previously couple minutes go talk to about 700,000 people have crossed the border illegally been counted since the beginning of the fiscal year october 1. but nearly half a million of those folks are released in the united states. if you do not stop a policy t

as a former member of the el paso city council says, sort of defeats the purpose. driguez. >> very disappointed we cleaned it all up as if nothing ever happened here. the whole purpose of president biden come toggle paso for him to see first-hand that is going on. something never happened in el paso before. mind you we are a city of immigrants. we have people coming into our community every single day. they're coming here legally. everybody in el paso has a migration story. it key feets the purpose of president biden come toggle paso cleaning up streets the way they are. emily: of course it defeats the purpose. it is a blatant lie, does no one any good, especially the migrants the administration purports to care about. the irony as well, i mentioned earlier that el paso issued a disaster declaration. they have been screaming for help from only the rest of the state, also the administration. the state doesn't have the resources either. just last night they bused another 33 migrants here. good morning to you guys. this is the against the backdrop of 2.4 million migran

let me give you el paso numbers specifically.f you look just in had this 100 days, there have been more than 168,000 encounters, just in el paso alone. that is up 222% compared to this time last year and there are more than 78,000 known got-aways just in el paso. meanwhile, those got-aways is what the texas dps has been trying to get. take a look at the video shot by texas dps lieutenant chris olivarez, over in the rio grande valley, chasing migrants in the early hours, trying to apprehend them because they don't want to be caught. there have been more than 240,000 known got-aways in these 100 days. we don't know who they are, where they're going, or what their intention is or where they came from. now, we talked yesterday with texas congressman lance gooden about the president's trip. he held out some hope. here's what he had to say. take a listen. >> i'm thrilled that he's coming. it's taken him too long but i'm happy he's coming. if this helps him get toward realiesing and admitting that we have a crisis that needs addressing

it is very cold here in el paso, january. not the month that you will see the majority of the migrants trying to cross over into the united states. as for the president visiting himself, a lot of questions about what will be the long-term impact, if any. only on the ground here for about three hours until he is on its way down to mexico city for summit. what did he learn differently as opposed to when he came in here and what may be will come out of this in their perspective of possible changes. within the last week we've insult the president tried to push the blame back on the congress. curious to see if he changes his tone or if he has something new to say as he gets us to work. >> right now president biden is arriving there at the port of entry near the bridge of the americas. this is his first stop, as you said. he is meeting first up with border patrol issues. the president is also expected to attend a visit to a migrant camp to see some migrants firsthand. as you mentioned, mark, we are not sure who will, but it has bee

mark meredith alive in el paso, thank you. eric: arthel, the roughly three or border visit by the president, is wrapped up in the next hour or so but he will attend the north american leaders summit that's in mexico. he was mexican president and canadian prime minister justin trudeau that begins tomorrow. they meeting coming and made even more deadly violence from the mexican cartel but especially this enola cartel. after the arrest of the side of drug kingpin el chapo comment 10 mexican military members were killed in a gunfight over that. hey jacqui. >> hey eric for the focus of this type trilateral meeting is not just about controlling immigration at the southern border. it is also about stemming the flow of deadly fentanyl. ahead of this meeting el chapo son which she mentioned was arrested by mexican authorities. now the cartels have effectively declared war on the mexican government more than 30 people have been killed in shootouts. with the military, even attempting to shoot down military and civilian aircraft to preven

look at that stark contrast on your screen of el paso on wednesday and then el paso on thursday.live from there talking to residents about the reality in the border state. realtor.com (in a whisper) can we even afford this house? maybe jacob can finally get a job. the house whisperer! this house says use realtor.com to see homes in your budget. you're staying in school, jacob! realtor.com. to each their home. ♪ will: president biden will arrive here in el paso, texas, in just hours to get a firsthand look at the border crisis. but before he even lands, streets that were once filled with hundreds of sleeping illegal immigrants have been cleared up. you see it on your screen right now. and here with what their city is really dealing with is lifelong el paso resident and former congressional candidate irene car men -- i did a good job, right? >> you did excellent. will: jackson, by the way, and bill jackson. they're married. [laughter] laugh lifelong el paso residents, both of you. bill, longtime border patrol agent. we appreciate your service. >> thank you. will: tell me, irene, wh

my question to you, why el paso?it because of the democrat mayor thinking he had a little bit of support behind him? >> i don't know, having this town clean itself up and look presentable for the president, having him go down there without outlining any fixes or resources for the policies, the choices he made, no admission of what he did or this administration has done to blow up the border and no apology to the residents and the citizens who have the burden out of uncontrolled migration across the border, he could have gone to el paso or yuma but if he doesn't change the course where we are going on the policy side, this thing isn't going to end. he started in office encouraging everyone to the border to do so now because he would be soft on it and they stopped building the wall and ended remain a mexico program with a salable and fixing the border. they fixed it in a way we have the largest search on the southwest border in our lifetimes in the history of that border. >> todd: we just heard from the residents of el

this is unprecedented for the city of el paso. it is something that we are not used to, having people sleeping on our streets like this. it's something very sad to see. >> again, the president touched down here just a short time ago. he is expected to be in the city for several hours and expected to tour a migrant processing facility as well as a port of entry here in el paso. again, his administration says that it has been taking steps in order to discourage migrants like these from coming to the u.s. without applying for asylum through the proper channels. richard? >> gabe, thank you for that. over to mike. the president has a series of potential touch boards and messages he could give in el paso before he heads to mexico city tomorrow for what is called the three amigos gathering. that has been going on for many years. will they be amigos when it comes to immigration? there are so many different parts. >> richard, it's good to be with you. it's interesting how the white house has finally choreographed this visit by the presiden

never happened in el paso before.ty every single day. they are coming here legally. everybody has a migration story. it defeats the purpose of president biden coming to el paso by cleaning up the streets the way they are. pete: my cohost emily brought this up, reminds me of the other pics putting up fake cities to put on a good face for the public, for the world. who do you think they are it attempting to me to play? president biden surely has an idea what is happening at the southern border, his policies aren't because he doesn't understand. at the least he has put it on fox news and seen these images. what is getting accomplished by all of a sudden making el paso look different than it does. >> we are not crazy. something bad happened in el paso. we are the largest city on the border. we have something happening in el paso that was unprecedented and it happened under president biden's watch. i decided to tell the mayor, a declared emergency. finally declares an emergency. at that point our call for president biden t

nbc's gabe gutierrez is on the ground in el paso this afternoon, for us. gabe, you've seen a lot right now. tell us what you've seen, also, what we might expect from the presidents visit. >> have everett, good afternoon, the president is expected to land in el paso in a short time. he's expected to tour migrant processing facilities as well as a court penitentiary. we're outside of this church, you mentioned the video last, week migrants were arrested this morning, we've seen migrants, some of, them six of them, arrested here outside this church. unclear exactly why, but it was local officials who arrested them. i'm giving you a look at what the scene looks like right now. you see dozens upon dozens of migrants here, they've been camping out here, for varying amounts of time. many of them are from venezuela and my photojournalist colleague, and his colleague paul, they come here. i want to introduce, you richard, to my producer maria. she just spoke with this group right here. i'm eating them for the first time. but she tells me that they are from venezuel

mark where to live el paso, texas thank you. so the president visiting el paso.o about 500 miles away to the border in eagle pass, officials tell fox news they have encountered more than 718,000 migrants in the first 100 days of fiscal year 2023 along the border. griff jenkins is alive. he breaks all the numbers for us there. rex good evening, john. every border patrol official will tell you from california here to south texas the situation is only getting worse every single day. here in eagle pass it is certainly one of the ground zero areas for that. let me take you now to our fox flight team in the sky and show you what governor abbott was talking about is being two years too late. it is because you can see along the rio grande river these containers one after the other lined up like a wall, topped with razor wire. trying to deter because he sees a lack of leadership in the efforts of this administration of president biden to try and stem the tide of these unprecedented numbers that are sibley growing. in fact in the sector alone more than 1100 migrants in the

you have seen the before and after pictures of downtown el paso.ss owners in that area of town as well. they have had a massive problem. most of the migrant camps have been right there in downtown that's the thing and it's important to understand the numbers. those numbers are important but sometimes numbers, i feel like, can be a little stale and dry. so yesterday, right here on "fox & friends weekend" we had several el paso residents who have lived here for decades their entire lives perspective and context to give us tell us what is life like right now as compared to the past? here's what they had to say. >> he has never visited in his 50 years in office. but the only reason is he visiting now is because he is going to run for 2024. >> it's a photo op. they cleaned up the streets. they're going to show them clean not like they look normally with thousands of immigrants living in the streets. >> he doesn't have to create new laws. just enforce them. that's all that needs to be done. >> will: ashley and todd those individuals were there to protest

we are not just texans for the city of el paso. the current governor of colorado, governors of other states, the leaders of other communities. we have removing microsoft. and it is because we don't have the capability to handle self-declared sanctuary cities with massive resources like guns in washington, d.c. they have the capacity to deal with this far more than el paso, but even more and more than del rio and eagle pass and all the other tiny communities on the border are going to being overwhelmed by the presence of illegal policies that people are turning this into an overall situation. what's it what's in the letter is a start by telling that, you know, he's going two years and about $20 billion to lay and then i urge him in the letter to see the real payoffs, whatever body here may already know and that is there were thousands in madrid sleeping on the streets in el paso that have been cleaned up in the past few days. and i asked him to go see the areas where we had these mass migration problems and go visit with the people

let's go just to the el paso sector where mark meredith was.e encounters in first one hundred days, can see nearly 170,000 and they are up more than 220% from this time last year and that bottom number, mike, more than 78,000 known got aways, we don't know where they came from, where they are going or why they are here. we just know that the border officials observed them and were not able to bring them into custody. now let me just show you some video from texas dps lieutenant kris oliveras pursuing in the rio grande valley more of the got-aways, migrants who run and do not want to be apprehended an big part of the crisis. only time will tell whether or not that will be a part of the president's new plan to try and secure the border. here is what governor abbott had to say about the president's plan. take a listen. >> listen, this visit is about two years too late or about $20 billion short of what needs to be done. all it's going to do down there is rearrange the chairs on the deck of the titanic, he's not going to achieve any solution that i

el paso u.s.uty chief of el paso police department, robert, always great to see you. first the reaction to mayor adams visit to el paso. are you glad he came? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. i think it is a good thing. i wish he would have done that sooner. but the mayor of new york may be different at el paso right before president biden did it come with us to be cleaned up under orders of the of the white house border patrol. they rounded up all the migrants in el paso, the nice look. but mayor adams going down there actually got a dose of reality. and he is absolutely right. this was a border crisis that has turned into a national crisis. i have been saying that many, many times. it is really unfortunate. when is it going to stop? this is a result of not having a plan to deal with the issues on the border. >> carley: what is it like in el paso right now, robert? are the numbers down from the record highs we saw a few weeks ago? >> yeah, absolutely appeared to be honest with you, the reason those numbe

i am standing in front of an el paso police car. there was a migrant, a venezuelan migrant, which spoke with that was right away in handcuffs right now. i want to show you where i am, i'm over here at the sacred heart church, this is where migrants have been gathering over the past few weeks. and we're just last week, according to video that was obtained by nbc news, see vp officials have actually arrested many of the migrants that have been here. there was a lot of tensions were seeing here right now, just before the president's set here to arrive, and we were here early this morning, and these migrants here, many of them had been sleeping here in very cold temperatures. temperatures in the 30s. now they have been gathering here throughout the morning, many of them from venezuela, we haven't spoken with some nicaraguans as well. some of these migrants, excuse me, they say that they actually have not been processed by cbp. so some of them are worried about being rounded up. there are a lot of law enforcement present here, but local

with that being said, sophie, i wonder what sort of mood greets president biden in el paso? optimistic about his plan? while, i think, as with almost _ optimistic about his plan? while, i think, as with almost everything . optimistic about his plan? while, i j think, as with almost everything in america at the moment, opinion is deeply divided on his visit. some people here welcome and applaud his visit and say they are grateful that he is making the effort to witness the situation first hand. others, though, say this is far too little too late. this is his first trip to the border into years of his presidency and some have accused him of political posturing. there is now another presidential election looming on the horizon in 202a. so i think with everything, there is a division of opinion here, but i think people at el paso, people who live here and have been coping with the influx of migrants in november and december of last year do appreciate him taking the time. part of his measures he announced on thursday last week will be to expel up thursday last week will be to exp

el paso has a complicated relationship with immigration.his is where donald trump launched his cool family separation policy, where they started first ripping babies from the arms of their mothers. this is where donald trump gave a speech talking about the hispanic invasion, which they were echoed by a mass murderer who drove ten hours to el paso to commit one of the worst hate crimes in memory, killing 23 latinos and immigrants. so the city is ready to welcome the president, for him to deal with this very complicated and important issue. >> i mean, let's be clear. title 42, as we noted, a trump era policy. you mentioned the significance of el paso in terms of trump era policies. biden has tried to use his administration to the doj to lift title 42, the supreme court has declined to do so, which is why that case will be heard. now, biden has new immigration policy, cristobal, of immediately turning away cubans, haitians, nicaraguans and venezuelans who crossed the border illegally from mexico. it provides pathways for illegal entry to the u

with the mexican and canadian leaders, which on hendern is in el paso, texas. and he joins me now. a john, what's president biden hoping to achieve with this visit? what message does it sent? why think the president is trying to highlight this humanitarian crisis, which you can see all around me here on the streets of el paso e, his long called for a comprehensive immigration policy that would require congress to enact a broader law to address things like them. millions of undocumented americans here to decide what their status is to decide what the status of the so called dreamers is. these are the 2nd generation people. people who came here as children and through no fault and their own ended up being undocumented. and i think also has the answering a lot of criticism. we now have a republican house of representatives who has been hammering him on immigration policy and 2 years into his administration. he has shown up to the 1st time at the southern border here in el paso and i, i think what he wants is a comprehensive policy. but really what he take is any advance. and that may

what does el paso need?the president couldn't see everything that is seen, so every night i go out within the community and i go out to the airport. i go out to the river and i go out where the migrants are sleeping. i had the opportunity to sit down with the president and go page by page. kind of show them what our city is up to. the system didn't break overnight and we are not able to fix it overnight. right now, we have a band-aid on it. all of the money we continue to get, look at additional funding. broken immigration system that will help our asylum-seekers come to the united states through the process of being through the proper processes. the program that the president rolled out should help moving forward. >> i always thank you for giving us the time to talk. i very much appreciate always coming on and speaking with us. i would also like to see that book. does it have pictures of men, women and children that have crossed the border? >> yes, sir. i can get you a book, because 62 eight by 10 pictures.

as far as the city of el paso, the community of el paso, like i said, the numbers are low, we are notny local releases in el paso at this point in time, not releasing to the ngos, the churches, anybody, that's just unheard of, and that's the difficulty we have until we get the long-term administrative changes, legislative changes that need to be taken care of for immigration reform that keeps us in the state of flux, and it's difficult for municipality to scale up and scale back down. and so when you are looking at resources that involves sheltering or bussing, transportation, security, it's unfeasible to expect the municipality to scale up and scale down in a timely fashion, being wise with dollars. >> sandra: it is a struggle for so many of those communities down there, a problem all over the country, especially when you highlight the fentanyl crisis and what is happening at the southern border. we will continue to cover the president's visits, the impact of it. appreciate you joining us today, sir, thank you very much. >> john: the fda approving a new drug, alzheimer's association

he did not go to downtown el paso to see the situation of these families in the streets of el paso, andf his announcement early in the week about the expansion of title 42, this is something we oppose because this is more racist, anti-immigrant being implemented by the trump administration, which by the way, biden at some point opposed title 42, but now he's expanding it to cubans, haitians, nicaraguans and venezuelans. it means he set out to deport thousands of people to mexico, so i think there's a big level of frustration that he's doing that. also the fact he didn't meet with the stakeholders and community members. >> fernando, what is it that you want us to know about those men, women, and children that are crossing the border, that have taken just hell trips to get to the opportunity to ask for asylum? what do you want us to know about them? >> well, there's two things. one of them is that obviously, the situation, the practical situation that they are in the streets in freezing temperatures and they don't have an option. they don't have anywhere to go. i think we need urgent huma

he went to el paso. everything is picked up. everything is clean.rybody is kind of like on their best behavior. i would think. that's what he is seeing so he doesn't really see what's happening on a daily basis. i think it's absurd, honestly. i think that there is hundreds of miles of border is that being inundated our border patrol are being overworked. our law enforcement are being tasked beyond measure. and he chooses to go el paso that, by the way, has been cleaned up before he got there. >> i'm not saying he needs to dive into the rio grande or, you know, wrestle a coyote. but the least he could do is meet with a migrant. even cnn agrees. >> that's why the president is being criticized by both sides because of what he didn't see. so, let me show you because this is one of the migrant camps that's here in downtown el paso. and, you know, the immigration advocates here in el paso and governor greg abbott usually don't agree on much, but they do raise the same question: if president biden came here to el paso to see the reality on the ground about

he is now on his way to el paso.en an epicenter of sorts of all the struggles. those dealing with the influx of migrants. the question to you, why now? how big a a is a political minefield is this visit? particularly, as we are watching early in the last hour, scenes of migrant arrests at the border. >> alex, the entire issue of immigration has become a minefield. that is the reason president biden is going to the border. at first sight it may seem like a political liability. i think it is tremendously important. and sets the administration on the right path. to begin with, you need to go and see the human face of immigration. because of covid, because the border was shut down, because of title 42, we were talking about numbers, images, we really did not see, tangibly, what this was. for most of us, in the united states who do not live along the border. i think for president biden to go down there and see, firsthand, that will allow him to see and feel what folks -- what those who do have firsthand knowledge of the b
