i will read the statement, unfortunately texas governor greg abbott greg abbott is without shame or humanity, that is but ever since he put the racist practice of expulsion in place, we have been working with community parties to ready the city to receive these individuals. isn't it dangerous rhetoric to refer back to if you don't agree with something, that it is racist instead of looking at the big picture and saying you know what, it is a big problem. is it hard for democrats and republicans to see something as big of an issue as the border crisis? as partisan? >> yeah, i'm so sick and tired of these liberals when they get their back against the wall. they always play the race card. i think the american people are seen through this. what's going on at the southern border is unconstitutional and it gets worse every day. and coming across the border, although human trafficking and all the crime across the border is a direct result of the biden administration having an open border policy, welcoming these people across the border. and i am glad that these big city mayors thanks to governor abb

light foot held a press conference to welcome the new arrivals. >> let me say loud and clear to greg abbottitical stunts, governor abbott has confirmed what unfortunately many of us had already known, that he is a man without any morals. humanity, or shame. governor abbott's racist and xenophobic practices of expulsion have only amplified the challenges many of these migrants have experienced on their journey to find a safe place. the governor's action did not just inhumane they are unpatriotic. >> judge jeanine: so, let me get this straight, light foot says it's inhumane to send immigrants to chicago. and do you know what? we agree. lori fight foot's chicago is a terrible city. and the stats prove it. crime is way up. theft up 65%. vehicle theft up 62%. burglaries up # 9%. robberies up 19%. i hope these people weren't planning on working because businesses left and right are fleeing chicago. lori fite light foot has run the city into the ground, but at least she is not a racist. joining us now is byron donalds, u.s. representative for florida's 19th district. and pam bondi, former attorney

i actually don't know how he says that greg abbott is manufacturing a crisis.ng to get mad at kamala harris. she said she was gonna deal with the root causes. nobody is mad at them. lori lightfoot said i do understand there are pressures the people of texas are feeling. well greg abbott is just taking that pressure and trying to figure out a way to get some attention so people will pay attention to the problem. he's finally figured out a way to do that. i don't think he could pay for more helpful opposition then the far left high crime mayor of chicago. she is the one that's basically getting more of us to pay attention. and the final thing i would say is that when it comes to christianity, why isn't she mad at the coyotes? wise and she mad at the drug cartels? why isn't -- that's the anti-christian thing. governor abbott is providing them shelter, transportation, and the ability to go to a place that supposedly a sanctuary city. but if you're going to retweet it and where the t-shirt that you are a sanctuary city, you have to figure out a way to do that. if yo

bravo to governor greg abbott and governor desantis for bringing this problem to their doorstep. fentanyl coming to the boarders you've been talking about all day, all the cost, the expense, the drugs, the pressure on the boarders, the educational expenses, the medical expenses, if illegal aliens turn residents, turn citizens would vote republican we wouldn't be having this conversation, the border would be shouldn't tighter than a clan's bee hind. it's all for vote and outrages. until endents and sane democrats realize the level of the problem we're going to keep having this problem. so it's finally going to come to their doorstep and maybe then something will happen. >> sean: leo. >> you know, sean, let me be very clear, this trip to martha's vineyard got the left wing media enraged because ron desantis took the illegal aliens, the people who they love, took them to their backyard, to their play grand, to their recreational park and that's why the left wing media covered this ad nauseam. they're upset because what they claim that people, what's good for america, they don't want

governor greg abbott is doing what he can do. these people are not being forced to go to chicago or new york. this is where they want to go. they have family members there. they know these sanctuary cities will provide them hotels and food and possible housing in the future. they are making their decision after they are already processed by border patrol. they are asked where do you want to go? some say chicago, in say new york. hear from sources this will be buses head to california as left we will hear them angry. leo brought up a great point and so did you. you said we were talking about the amount of murders. think about that. 797 murders in the city of chicago in 2021. laurie lightfoot the mayor should be ashamed of those homicides. over 3,500 shootings. this is a serious crisis in democratic cities. they support biden's open border policy. >> tammy: leo, the last word. these people say you i have it pay more taxes. people voted for de blasio and lightfoot. suddenly this happens and if you are getting buss in los angeles or

this, as governor greg abbott continues to come under fire from new york, and other city mayors, for strategy. here is what chicago mayor, lori lightfoot, had to say about it, yesterday. >> governor abbott has racist and xenophobic practices of exposure that have amplified the challenges that many of these migrants have experience on their journey to find a safe place. governor abbott has confirmed, what unfortunately many of us had already known. that he is a man without morals, humanity, or shame. >> let's see what our guests think. commentators, maria cardona and alex stewart are with me. i want to begin with these two ladies, this podcast, hot mic's. let's begin with you. mayor lightfoot is very critical of what he is doing and had to say. he first announced this program in april, and since then, for the figures, they have a bust more than 9000 migrants from texas to sanctuary cities, like washington, d.c., new york, and now, chicago. obviously, he is making a political point, that he thinks they should all share what he perceives as a kind of burden of people who are migrating t

just this morning texas governor greg abbott send migrants to washington, d.c. again. >> my next guest says she was nine months old when her family escaped a country on the brink of civil war and built a life in maryland. she is the president and cree o ceo of lutheran immigration service. thanks so much for joining us. we appreciate it. i want to go to this tweet you put out, saying nobody wins in cruelty contest between desantis, ducey and abbott. asylum seekers had to flee the only home they've ever known. shame on all those who would exploit vulnerable migrants for naked political theater. strong words. >> it's sad when you see what's happening. we're talking about children and families fleeing communist dictators, the kinds of leaders governor desantis and governor abbott have railed against. they flee because they have no other choice. they come to the u.s. they go to the process to seek out legal authorities. they get documented. they get legal paperwork to file their asylum claims. the idea of shipping them with duplicitous lies claiming they're going to

and so we have turned to greg abbott's office asking to see if it makes any financial sense at all.their border seizure numbers and apprehensions but also taking political jabs at president biden. greg abbott's office writing until president biden and congress do their jobs and secure our southern aborter, texas will utilize every strategy to address this border crisis and protect texans. we should mention not long after this statement was released, two buses pulled up to chicago with just under 100 migrants. certainly hints that the governor of texas is not done. we should, of course, note that arizona has also sent buses with migrants to the northeast. significantly smaller cost. really i spoke to a migrant advocate, boris and amara, they actually welcome the news as many migrants here are certainly looking for an opportunity to save on their bus and plane tickets. >> yeah. i'm sure. but, just in terms of new york, polo, do we know how many migrants have been sent there by governor abbott? >> our colleague obtaining fresh numbers here. we can put those up for our viewers to give y

greg abbott is not being truthful with the texas public.want to have the real discussion on guns we deserve. >> let me focus on the situation at the schools in the community there. how much concern, mr. senator, do you have that not all of the security measures are in place yet as they return to class? some parents are complaining that the district can't say with certainly whether any of the 33 officers assigned now to monitor the campuses there were among those who responded to robb elementary in last may, have enough fixes been made to satisfy your view? >> the fact is, peter, there's several schools that don't have fencing. that's the problem. we have turned our schools into little mini prisons. in the fore ground, i saw students talking to the playground with a trooper behind them. do we want a meaningful discussion on guns? this governor refused to talk about the thing most important to texas families. 65% of republicans want an age limit on ar-15 access. this governor refuses to have that conversation. >> at the end of the day, is thi

texas governor greg abbott has an attack ad.e police. >> i really love that black lives matters and owe protesters have put this front and center to defund police forces. >> here's the problem -- that is not a sentence beto o'rourke ever uttered. it took a centers from a podcast interview o'rourke did two years ago where he spoke supportively of line items of overmilitarizing the police and attached the word defund to the words police forces, even though those were about 55 words apart. and of course they did attack the ad for what he did say. in november they were doing the same kind of thing. o'rourke campaign has said consistently in 21- 22 he opposes defunding the police. >> streets exploded with drug and violence while liberals attack our police. >> that claim is misleading. congressman ryan has never expressed support for defunding police and has released three separate tv ads during this campaign expressing opposition to the concept. here's a clip from the first one. >> defunding the police is way off the mark. we need mo

more fundamentally what i would say is that doug ducey and greg abbott and the people of arizona and texas would much rather than sending buses and planes to the north that joe biden do his job and protect our border and send the buses and planes to the south because these illegal migrants should be going back to their home countries. they shouldn't be going anywhere in america. >> sandra: yesterday we took it live the white house press briefing happened following the vice president's comments over the weekend that the border is secure. obviously republicans are directly responding to those comments. the press secretary was given a chance to walk those words back. she instead chose to double down. listen. she backed up the claim that the border is indeed secure. so i'll ask you they are touting these numbers that they are apprehending and removing or expelling more migrants than ever at the southern border, senator. but put that in context for us. one needs to point out there are more migrants than ever pouring over our border. so they're having to expel or remove more migrants than

this, as texas governor greg abbott tonights to come under fire from new york and frankly other city bussing strategy. here's what chicago mayor lori lightfoot had to say about it just yesterday. >> governor abbott's racist and xenophobic practices of expulsion have only amplified the challenges many of these migrants have experienced on their journey to find a safe place. governor abbott has confirmed what unfortunately many of us had already known, that he is a man without any morals, humanity, or shame. >> let's see what our next guests think about those comments, maria cardona and alice stuart are with me now. i want to begin with these two wonderful ladies. wonderful podcasts. hot mics with me now. mayor lightfoot very critical of what he is doing. he announced this bussing program back in april and since then, for the figures, they have bussed more than 9,000 migrants from texas to so-called sanctuary cities like washington, d.c., like new york, and of course now chicago. obviously he is making a political point that he thinks that he should all share what he perceives as a kind

do we know if the texas governor, greg abbott, was involved in any way? >> his press secretary said that the two governors do speak, that they've been talking about the bussing of migrant strategy that we've been covering a lot here. but that governor abbott was not involved at all in the flights and arranging of the flights to martha's vineyard. now he did say, according to his press secretary, that he did appreciate the help. john? >> all right. very interesting. rosa flores in texas tonight. joining me now is cnn's priscilla alvarez in miami. priscilla, what more you learning about what went into this decision by governor desantis? >> well, we're still trying to get answers as to what exactly went behind this decision, and the logistics behind these flights, which as rosa pointed out is a very curious situation. but the governor here has been teasing relocating might grants for some time, leading up to this week. and remember, governor desantis has been a fierce critic of the biden administration's immigration policies. and this dates back to last year

but meanwhile she goes as far as to blame the texas governor, greg abbott, for his faith.o be a christian, this is not the christianity and the teachings of the bible that i know. and i think religious leaders across the country are standing up and denouncing exactly this. >> sandra: greg abbott's office has responded with this message, after hearing it, saying attacking the governor's commitment to his faith is a pathetic political ploy to change the conversation away from mayor lightfoot's unwillingness to uphold the self-declared sanctuary status. you have to wonder if they put themselves out there as a sanctuary city, why don't they show greg abbott we will welcome the migrants with open arms. >> this is what they did, roll out the welcome mat, and now with the hundreds coming in oh, my god, we can't take it, and what's un-christian is the situation joe biden has created, over the border, 13 people drown in the rio grand, like 500 plus have either drown or dehydrated to death in the deserts. do what my parents did from costa rica, go to the embassy, get your visa appli

that is not desantis or abbott, arizona governor greg doocy sending migrants to blue cities like new york, d.c., and chicago. all of them say they're doing this not to solve any real problem, but simply to own liberals on immigration. the whole thing reminiscent of what is known as the reverse freedom rights of 1962, when segregation from southern states convinced black americans to travel to cape cod on buses and offered them jobs, permanent housing, even a meeting with jfk. and then, just as now, none of that was to. for the migrants sent to martha's vineyard this week, they are now on cape cod, receiving shelter, care, and legal help. many of them, we are told, had applied for asylum, and have appointments with asylum officials in various parts of this country. but how they will keep those appointments? well, that is anyone's guess. with me now, bianca padrÓ ocasio, political writer for the herald. she's been reporting from martha's vineyard this week. bianca, as always, good to see you. first, tell us what you saw, what you heard from the migrants on martha's vineyard? >> so, the
