griff jenkins is live at this hour. hi, griff jenkins. >> we are in the middle of the river here between guatemala on this side, and mexico on the other side. a gentleman crossing here, show you this they have a lax attitude in crossing. in the distance behind me, international bridge is connecting the two countries that is where the immigration office is. for 30 pesos, you can take a raft and go and no immigration officials checking documents. if you look up the river and mark, i hate to spin you up there, you can see all day long thousands freely crossing and they don't know who is on them. officials say they are seeing 800 hatians a day coming across and continuing to pile up, some 13,000 are in topatula, applying for status like we saw in del rio last week. secretary mayorkis met with the ambassador from haiti to the u.s. and mayorkis assured him hatians would be treated well and there was an investigation underway to the treatment of hatians last week. that seems to miss the mark. we spoke to hatians and they are u

but george, you, if it gets found to be in the war on terror is actually a pretty good griff. right? i mean, you would get it by a threat and then you prepare for it. you, you annihilated attack it, and then you get, blow back and then you start all over again. i mean, it's pretty convenient, isn't it? i mean, and then again, it's very, very selective. you know, we don't, we don't like that, look, these, your audience are harmless. actually, they're helpful. these are against the, but i mean, it's all about labels, isn't it? because is we have all pointed out here. maybe not saying an exact word. there's no code here and the theory of the war. busy on terror doesn't exist. oh no, that's right. by now everyone's already found the talking point. yes. yes. yes. the americans were, is the initial supporters of the g holidays in afghanistan in the 1900 ages? i was already ok. everyone's up on the page, but they went on, it didn't just and magically, $989.00 america continues to support. jihad is symbolically a richard holbrooke. in his account of the war, in bosnia boasted boasted
