griff jenkins is at the border in el paso, texas. griff? the numbers are high. now a quarter million. why haven't the department of homeland security released these official numbers yet? griff: well, that's a great question, lauren, and i have given them a few days in speaking with them to let them know it's time to put these numbers out. they have not responded, so we've gone ahead. we didn't get it out right away when we first learned it, but who knows. i can tell you this much though. you can add two dozen more. lauren, let me go up to our drone shot here in the sky, you can see behind me. we've got two dozen about two dozen or more migrants have walked up just in the last 15 minutes behind me. they came into the custody of the national guard, the border patrol will soon come down here with a bus. it only takes about 20 minutes to get them processed and sent about their way. most of these migrants are from central america, specifically most of them from ecuador. they tell me, but it is just in decorative of this problem, which is anything but getting under co

griff, you're from memphis. would be violent protests in memphis and other cities when that video was released on friday night. not only admit did the nichols family call for nonviolence, but their lawyers, like benjamin crump, said it was a model case. >> it was in the sense that you got out in front of it. i've been talking to friends and family, they're worried about what happens on the day of the final, what about going forward. and let's not forget that as gianno was pointing out, chief davis has done a good job with the city because the city was already rampant with crime, trying to get it under control. i think she, by the way, is going to be more in the spotlight because it looks like there may have been a pattern or a culture of this sort of behavior not just five rogue officers. but to the larger question about where, you know, the media coverage goes now, i think it does put a spotlight on the difference in memphis as opposedded to when i covered everything from baltimore to ferguson, to minneapolis,

emily: that's right, griff.his administration specializes in either lack of transparency or full-blown hiding of information. and that's exactly what they're doing. they're playing a shell game. it's like you have cancer and say i stopped sneezing. the bottom line is that the numbers continue to surge. every terrible number the surge of illegal immigration, the depletion of our resources, the got-aways, the number of unaccompanied minors that have alleged sexual assault, all of the numbers continue to surge. where will is right now and where the be president is grazing people with his layover presence, the 220% increase just know that that's almost a quarter of the entire town's population. so what that means is, in two months almost a quarter of the entire city's population has come through and taken up hold there. that city has pled with the state and federal government for more resources. the state doesn't have any more to give. they're dealing with the same problem. the administration it just falls on deaf e

bill: griff, something you and i talk about quite a bit.f the documents littered on the u.s. side of the river bank, once a lot of the people come over, they've got the visas and other passports, explain some of the documents they ditch as soon as they get to the u.s. side and why they do it? griff: that's right, it's such an important point, bill, because the mexican officials give migrants temporary visas, many of them for 30 days but we have just been picking them up. i had one here just a moment ago from a nicaraguan woman and she was admitted into mexico on january 2nd, she crossed and ditched it right away simply because she doesn't want to prove to officials here she has status south of the border. on any given day you will find dozens of those things littered in a 50-foot span, pretty wild. griff jenkins doing awesome job at the border like he always does, thank you. gillian: new developments this hour after missing massachusetts mom ana c walshe, we have detais for you. ♪ ♪ ♪ - life is uncertain. everyday pressures can feel overwhe

let's get the greatest from griff jenkins in texas. griff?riff: we're outside of the sheriff's office in kenny county because just miles from the border where you normally see me in eagle pass they have seen a triple in the increase in the human smuggling cases. take a look at this video shot from saturday. this is texas dps here pursuing a white van. they pulled them over, rescued six migrants being smuggled. the driver was from houston. he admitted to the deputies that he was being paid $2,000 for this particular smuggling case and the sheriff here, brad coe says he's seeing not only an increase in cases but he's seeing smugglers that are armed. he says that he used to be back in the day about one smuggler a month had a gun. now, he's seeing two-to-three cases a week. that's why when we asked him what he thought about that meeting between president biden and obrador he was disappointed there wasn't more of an emphasis or any plans with regards to what's going to be done to cut down on the cartels and the human smuggling and human traffickin

. >> steve: griff jenkins is live on the ground in eagle pass, texas.esident should have gone there because the migrants keep coming across unlike el paso where suddenly not a single migrant for the president to talk to or see. >> that's right, steve, ainsley and brian. good morning. i can tell you just seconds ago my cbp sources tell me that the headquarters in washington at cbp is officially reporting that there were 518 migrant encounters in the el paso sector in the last 24 hours. you had president biden spending more than three hours on the town in that sector didn't see a single migrant. however, he asked about them. watch. >> how many folks do you have coming through. it varies week-to-week and day to day but how many people do you have coming through. >> [inaudible] >> i know you have people every day but i'm trying to get a sense of the flow, the average. >> well [inaudible] >> >> griff: this after side-by-side video you can see on wednesday this past week the streets looked like san francisco with migrants littering in sleeping bags thursday a

eric: griff jenkins, on top of the story as he always is. griff, good to see you, thank you.hel? arthel: yeah. and, griff and eric, as those records were broken in december, customs and border protection, they're experiencing, well, a noticeable increase in arrivals from countries like cuba and nicaragua as arrivals if from an area of the world called the northern triangle that we speak about often. well, those numbers are down. the northern triangle is an impoverished section of central america that tiply -- typically sees a lot of migration to the united states. so let's bring in rodney scott now, former u.s. border patrol chief and distinguished senior fellow for border security at the texas public policy foundation. so if you could in simple, nonpolitical terms, can you answer the question why are these migrants flocking to and crossing this southern border in record numbers? >> so i will answer that question why, it's because there's no consequence. and griff did a great job going through all those numbers, but those are only southwest border numbers. so if you look at t

hi, griff.i, gillian, yeah, official a friday night dump it would make you think that the administration does not want to draw attention to it. let me take you quickly up to the sky drone. and we had them next to the shipping containers topped with razor wire and that's what governor abbott tried to do to get the numbers down and obviously, they've been coming and it's not just those encountered the smuggling is on the rise, too. an important part of the story, take a look at this footage that our camera man lorenzo shot embedded with the texas dps yesterday in the span of six hours, they foiled three separate smuggling attempts, more than a dozen migrants were recovered and two individuals arrested and charged with human smuggling. now, let me go back to those encounters and show you just what's happening here. if you take a look at this drone video that we put together for you, gillian, you can see title 42, migrants put on the bridge and sent back to mexico. about a dozen there. while at exac

griff: neil, that's unbelievable. that's the population of scottsdale and the border agents are exhausted. and let me take you to our drone in the sky and lift you up. in this is where they have more than 160,000 crossings here in this fiscal year so far and that's just one sector alone. as you take a look at this crossing here, title 42, people just going across moments ago. and the video that we shot before the sun came up. a little over 50 migrants from cuba, colombia and ecuador, they come every single morning on time like an amazon delivery and it just doesn't simply stop, but i mentioned that title 42 and the revolving door. take a look at this video, we shot with our drone for you to see. you can see here at this crossing where we are, you've got about a dozen migrants title 42, sent back into mexico and then you can also see in this the group of about 20 migrants who had just arrived. literally some coming across as others going back, but let's break down these numbers because you mentioned that 251,480. among

griff, good stuff. thank you very much, sir.ake a look at this, one one side of your screen, el paso on christmas eve, sidewalks taken over by homeless people and the other side of your screen is el paso cleaned up one day before the president's visit. what's your response to the president's visit to the border -- your take on the president's border visit? reporter: i'm extremely upset. he got a sanitized version of what we're seeing and it's not just he got a sanitized version because other people cleaned it up. this was the administration that forced el paso to clean up everything so all of the cameras that came in, all the mainstream media that came in, they would see a very, very nice looking picture. not only did they do that, but they also deployed double the number of border patrol agents down on the border so again, the mainstream media would go down and see something that's not the reality. if he's going to come up with actual solutions, he has to see what the reality is on the border. he also didn't go -- he didn't spe

griff jenkins live in eagle pass. our sell, let me throw it to you. >> you make a really good point. we cannot forget the fine work those of border agents doing. they are overwhelmed and understaffed. they are doing their very best. i'm glad you acknowledge that. the president's visit there in el paso is just beginning, the president's next stop is to mexico city where he will meet with the canadian prime ministers as well as the mexican president and jackie is live in mexico city with more on that part of the story. jackie. >> this conversation about drugs is going to be a very large topic in the president trilateral meeting with presidents of mexico and canada. just had that demonstration of a seizure during his visit in el paso. we should put this into perspective for you. just this fiscal year alone agents have seized nearly 5000 pounds of deadly fentanyl. just 2 pounds would kill potentially half a million people. we are rapidly approaching last year's total number for seizures which was north of 14,000. the conv

griff? >> good afternoon, neil. it is ground zero here in the del rio sector. more than 150,000 migrant encounters in the last 100 days. when you think about, neil, what the officials on the ground here, the border patrol chiefs want to hear from this summit, from obrador and president by den, that they'll stop doing things likes this. mexico issues 30-day visas for people that come to illegally cross our southern border if mexico would stop people, we wouldn't have this problem. it's unclear that we'll be headed for that. if you go up in the sky and looks at our fox flight team, you can look at this sector, which has never been more open despite what the administration says. when you think about the other things that the leaders here want to see as a product of these meetings is that there will be policy changes coming to simply stop the catch and release in mass policies and getting out offed the processing business and in to the business that they used to be doing and hireded to do, which is enforcement. let's shift to video that we slot with our drone, this

neil: griff, thank you for that, griff jenkins in eagle parse. go to mark racorian, from the center for immigration studies, executive director so he knows of what he speaks and mark, first on your reaction to the president's visit and what, if anything, came of it? the president's promise to provide resources to border officials, he hasn't outlined amounts and what kind of resources we're talking about. i don't know if there's follow through in mexico as he meets with that country's president but your thoughts? >> well, it was a photo op, and that's okay because politics is partly theatre, and politicians do photo ops, but the problem is what is the policy? i would much prefer the administration reversed course on immigration and kept the president away from the border for the rest of his life. you know, seeing it and talking to agents and maybe even talking to some migrants who crossed over the in the middle of the night would have been more useful than just sort of, you know, strolling past the fence and spending time at the crossing point on
