you have oregon's kurt schrader, california congressman jim costa, and three texas democrats, henry cuellar, vincent gonzalez, and vela also of texas. and stephanie murphy of florida just jointing this group in dissenting on the path forward. matthew in denver, colorado. independent. what do you think should happen? caller: i definitely think he we are -- think we are getting to a point in politics where it's becoming more like a football team debate. it's not actually focusing more on the info getting out through these bills and more so focusing on the people pushing the bills. host: ok. anthony, pikesville, maryland, democratic caller. your turn. caller: yes. thank you for taking my call. focusing just on the bill itself i have always supported it. it's useful to everyone who rides the road, rides the rail, cybersecurity. i can understand the shepherding

henry cuellar the texas democrat was involved.ution let's put jeh johnson in charge. obama era dhs secretary. lindsey graham secretary saying things have gotten so bad he was willing to write the letter to the white house. jeh johnson isn't up for it and mayorkas is sensitive to the issues happening there. how are we to have any confidence there will be somebody in charge who is going the tackle this? >> we shouldn't. the one who is supposed to be in charge is joe biden and he is listening to left wing open bortders activists who will crack down on him. the trump white house through policies of build the wall, third party agreements and remain in mexico had stemmed the ties. it was whether or not america would enforce its own laws and deport people who come here illegally. they shifted all those policies on day one. i realize the call is technically bipartisan. we have to recognize henry cuellar is a voice in the wilderness of the democrat party willing to call out the open border policy. i don't have any hope unfortunately. god b

henry cuellar's right on point.a border. you and i discussed it many times, 300,000 gotaways already this year. 300,000 people. how many of them have covid? how many of them gang members? we don't know. elizabeth: all right. tom homan, thanks for your service to our country. thanks for coming on our show. you're watching the fox business network. you're coming into the bottom of the hour. up next, congressman rick crawford on the senate brawl that has brought the infrastructure bill to a screeching halt. this as the far left is accused of putting biden in his own george h.w. bush read my lips no new taxes controversy. that's the same one that stumped bush and got clinton elected. keep it here on "the evening edit." >> we just had the cbo score come out, and it's going to add over a quarter of a trillion dollars to the deficit. it's what i've been concerned about all along. they tried to push this thing through so fast without any text. ♪ ♪ ♪ your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need t

there when you talk to those border states, he is not doing well to them and when you talk to henry cuellar. so, where do you rate him on this? >> well, thanks for having me, lawrence. i think there is a couple things going on here. i have done some reporting at the border and who is actually at the border a couple weeks ago. what we know a lot of folks on our border from the continent of africa, haiti, lgbtq folks abused in their home country who have died to come to our southern border to seek asylum. they deserve the right to seek asylum. with that being said. >> lawrence: hold on, richard, i don't mean to cut you off. you said they are coming to seek asylum. is that the point where they are supposed to seek asylum? >> well, oftentimes and from my reporting, that i have done, what you find is oftentimes folks are being persecuted in their home countries can't go to it's not safe for them to go to a united states embassy or not safe for them to go to an airport or jfk or wherever to seek asylum so they end up taking the long trek -- >> lawrence: they can go to a port of entry. >> airport.

inmigrantes según fuentes cercanas esperan ser procesados por la patrulla fronteriza el congresista henry cuéllar,000 inmigrantes se suman a los más de 1 millón de migrantes que llegan a la frontera. >>> estamos esperando que el presidente joe biden digan van a pasar o no van a pasar. >>> el juez del condado hidalgo invitó el presidente joe biden a venir al valle del sur de texas para que pueda ver de primera mano los retos que representa la política de inmigración hay 2 factores en juego en este momento uno es la política de inmigración defectuosa además de las leyes obsoletas que están provocando un gran volumen de inmigrantes pidiendo asilo. >>> según datos del jefe de la patrulla fronteriza el valle del río grande solo la semana pasada detuvieron a más de 20,000 inmigrantes ingresaron ilegalmente al país a lo largo de toda la frontera un total de 636 menores están bajo la custodia de la patrulla fronteriza. >>> los mexicanos acudieron a las urnas para decidir si enjuician o no a sus expresidentes sin embargo aún falta que se termine de contar los votos para saber si alcanza la cantidad necesa

joining me now democratic congressman from texas henry cuellar. congressman, obviously very difficult news out of afghanistan, while it is making this tough situation already tough when we woke up but it will become more complicated, more dire. just your thoughts what's happening? >> you know, certainly you're right. it has been a very difficult situation with all the people trying to escape and leave kabul, afghanistan. it is responsible, knowing that in this you will have some enemies, isis, al qaeda, we don't know what the source came in, of course they will try to take advantage. the conditions were there somebody could take advantage to cause this type of chaos and possibly kill u.s. soldiers, civilians in this situation. charles: representative, listen, we're trying to do monday morning quarterbacking and play the game at the same time but it is evolving and you just made ma common sense statement, what the military inside the airport and everyone outside the airport for the most part it is, you know, in hindsight, foresight feels like they

representative henry cuellar and senator lindsey graham are asking president biden to appoint formersecurity secretary jay johnson to a special executive position to manage the border crisis according to john solomon, your thoughts on what kamala harris is doing in the face of all of this? stephen: yes, for one thing i think it's pretty clear that the vice president's political ambitions are effectively destroyed as a result of her administration of the border. but it's important for people to keep in mind that she's not the one making the policy decisions. the policy decisions are being made by the faceless radicals throughout the biden administration who are running the show. their white house staff, dhs staff, most of whom will never be known to the american public, who are making these truly, truly deadly decisions that are resulting in drugs, disease crime as well as just large-scale illegal immigration that drains our finances and destroys american life and wealth. i totally agree the vice president should be replaced but ultimately she's only being used as the fall person behi

so they could go ahead and vote on the infrastructure package as chad was saying by next month, henry cuellarrat. congressman, good to see you again. >> great to see you, neil. neil: how does this look to you? >> look, which wanted to make sure we took a separate vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill for the obvious reasons that it is bipartisan, passed by 69 senators and we will get some republicans to support this on the house side. on the other one, on the reconciliation, on the other one, keep in mind the key thing we asked for, i wanted to ask for this because of what i saw in 2010 when members were asked to vote for something the senate will not approve, i wanted to make sure whatever we vote on the house side, we got a commitment from the leadership is to say that it has to be something that 51, or the senate democrats which includes senator joe manchin, senator sinema also, manchin and cinema. so it has to be something that we have a say so, they have a say sew, the whole caucus has a say so. so we have to be on the same page to vote on that. that point was very key t will allows

he met with local leaders including henry cuellar and pete sykes made it very clear. >> they're strainede overworked. they don't need a pat on the back. they need resources. whatever season they're using is broken and needs fixing. >> whatever system they're using is broken and needs fixing. that was the message that the secretary received from local law enforcement and local political leaders here today, martha. we just spoke again to the incoming chief, raul ortiz. he described the situation as a good visit and he said i'm fired up and ready to go. he officially takes over this weekend. martha? >> martha: interesting interviews. thanks, jonathan, from the border in brownsville. mollie hemmingway. your take on the border visit by secretary mayorkas today. >> we're dealing with not just a political crisis for the biden administration but a humanitarian crisis. we're busting through 20-year-old numbers. there's a record number of unaccompanied minors, the largest drug bust at the border that agents had dealt with. this is nor all intents and purpose as completely open border by the desire

. >> reporter: during mayorkas' visit he met with local leaders including democrat congressman henry cuellar who is pleading for assistance. >> the men and women if green and blue need help, bottom line. they're strained. they're over-worked. they don't need just a pat on the back. they actually need resources. >> reporter: meanwhile, we also learned that desperate local officials in laredo say they're having to spend 8 to $10,000 a day to bus untested migrants out of the city. carley: 8 to $10,000, democrats say they're the party that is taking covid seriously. griff, thank you so much. ashley: texans living near the southern pour deer -- border say they're frustrated over the biden's administrations double standard on rules and restrictions. >> they're not thinking about the american people. these immigrants, illegals, as far as we feel are more important to them than we are and they still want us to carry a card around saying we've been vaccinated and you've got to wear a mask. the illegals aren't told to do anything. to me it's unamerican. ashley: laura logan has seen the crisis firsthan

. >> reporter: mayorkas met with local leaders like democrat congressman henry cuellar whose district sees many illegal crossings a week, he is pleading for help. >> they need help, bottom line. they're strained. they're overworked. they don't need a pat on the back. they need resources. >> reporter: this comes as brand-new fox news poll numbers show just 37% of americans completely blame biden's election on the crisis at the border. >> no surprise there. griff, thank you. >> texans living near our southern border say they're frustrated over the biden administration's apparent double standard on rules and restrictions. >> they're not thinking about the american people. you know, these immigrants, illegals, as far as we feel are more important to them than we are and they still want us to carry a card around to say we're vaccinated and have to wear a mask and these illegals aren't told anything. it's unamerican what's going on. >> laura logan has seen the crisis firsthand, she joins us later in the show to weigh in. >> a man accused of fatally shooting chicago police officer ella frenc

is it safe to say the biden plan is not working here to discuss texas congressman henry cuellar welcomereaking for you 1800 kids in one month unaccompanied minors and over 2000 people apprehended at the border. obviously when the president and vice president are at the sink don't come, stereo our people are not listening. >> you are right. what you have to do is say don't come but then you've got to make sure you follow-up with actions. you have to deport people. if someone should stay here under the law go ahead and let them stay. but if the law says you deport them and send them back then you have to do that. if you put 100 people in front of an immigration judge usually 88 -- 90% are going to be rejected. that means only ten or 12% are going to khmer so why are we allowing everyone to come in one 100% we should be allowing only ten or 12% in the rest of them should be sent back. we have to, we have to, we have to publicize them being deported so people can see it's not only the words but it's real action real people being deported who are not supposed to stay here under the law. kenn

i'm sure you've heard henry cuellar say get somebody else in there. we need to tackle the crisis.mala harris might be fired for his border overseeing the crisis. we need real leadership. roger, i'll ask you, where is she? why aren't we seeing this as an urgent matter for this administration? >> it is not inconsistent to treat it in a sober policy fashion and get resources to the border at the same time not projecting hysterical social media like the previous administration did. we dialed back from the reports this network did in april that all migrants coming across were being given vice president's book. >> sandra: hold on, hold on. t.w. we have to deal with the facts at hand. there is a record number of people coming over that border. obvious concerns on many levels about this. we are talking about the concern during a pandemic to have this number of people flowing over our border. we don't know their health status. >> the reason i can give you an answer real easy. the reason this administration is not taking this seriously is because they've had to deal with crisis after crisis

reporting one out of five migrant families detained caught the virus and democrat congressman henry cuellarue. people aren't saying uses as a anti-immigration position, it's more about people getting sick, what do you say. >> to the issue on the border, we have numbers not only from congressman cuellar but the border patrol down in the rio grande valley when they talk about 900% increase in covid related cases along the border and in that sector alone, it's an issue along the border and i think the governor of new jersey and others need to wake up communities along the border are experiencing this firsthand where you have mass relief of migrants, in their communities a bus station in train station, airport and many of the individuals to many of the migrants are testing positive at the end of the day for covid is a real issue and should not be downplayed, we have a humanitarian crisis, and now a covid crisis along the border. elizabeth: the washington post editorial board said the board of chaos is a politically toxic issue for the biden administration and the democrats, the biden administra

that's something henry cuellar talk about, a lot of people talk about. >> right. of course, with the concerns that other nations around the world will take a look at -- at the u.s. military and see, well, this is how they, you know, oh with foreign populations and this is the rules of war that they go by, i'm also curious and lead me to my next question, about the dichotomy or conflict that arises from the regular troops and the volunteer soldiers and during the civil war, you know, the emphasis of the citizen soldier and the volunteer soldier is so upheld. the epitome of american democracy. the soldiers was sacrifice for their country and high ideals and, you know, we kind of see parts of that story playing out with the mexican war and kind of the poor, immigrants, they were distrustful soldiers who get paid to -- to, you know, commit what they believe should be a patriotic service, your own ideals that you go in the war for and not paycheck and yet at the same time you have the regulars kind of looking at the volunteers and saying, you're not qualified to fight

last true moderate democrat in the house of representatives, that is my good friend from texas henry cuellars only one you can say is a blue dog democrat. the rest look at their voting records. they vote 90% in lockstep with pelosi. charles: i have huge respect for cuellar, congressman cuellar. he is for the people who sent him to washington, d.c., period. congressman rest -- reschenthaler, thank you. >> thank you, charles. charles: -- playing this economy, but what is the greatest threat? we're now hearing stagflation, deflation, inflation. tweet me @cvpayne. i want to know what you think it is. it is a second class, this is another big issue, the middle class, rather, starting to get priced out of the housing boom. evidence today that might be happening. if so there will be serious political fallout. art laffer will walk us through those. ♪. ♪ why do you build me up ♪ ♪ build me up ♪ ♪ buttercup baby just to let me down ♪ ♪ and mess me around and then ♪ ♪ worst of all ♪ ♪ you never call ♪ baby daydreaming again? but i love you still you know i'm driving, right? i do. ♪ buttercup baby just

reporting one out of five migrant families detained have the virus and democrat congressman from henry cuellare this as an anti-immigration position. it is more about people are getting sick, right? so what do you say? >> well, it is absolutely an issue along the border. covid specifically, we have numbers not only from congressman cuellar but actually from the border patrol down there in the rio grande valley where they talked about a 900% increase in covid-related cases along the border in that sector alone. it absolutely is an issue on the border. the governor of new jersey and others need to wake up to that. communities along the bored remember experiencing first-hand where you have mass releases of migrants in their communities at bus stations, train stations, at airports. many of these individuals and migrants are testing positive at the end of the day for covid. it is absolutely a real issue. it shouldn't be downplayed. we have a humanitarian crisis a security crisis, now a covid crisis along that border. elizabeth: yeah. you know "the washington post" editorial board is now saying the

but two democrats, henry cuellar and vincent gonzales also sponsored it.s a chance. i think those two folks understood just how necessary something like this is, because this doesn't fix the crisis, this merely puts a band-aid on it and reimburses the ranchers and farmers that affected. we have to take steps to address the crisis. i think it's a good first step in a bipartisan manner to of say there's a problem, let's see if we can fix it. now we have to go further and we have to go after the policies. i said it many times, the policies that president trump had in place with with mexico and the northern triangle countries, we have to go back to those, back to the drawing board and actually come up with some real solutions. carley: yeah. congressman august pfluger, lynn allen, thank you so much both for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you, young lady. carley: all right. good stuff. ashley: time right now, 5:00 a 48 on the east coast, first, the good. security guard busting a move during that mlb game overnight. he entertained fans at the gam

leaders on both sides of the political aisle for example our democratic congressman from texas henry cuellartake a listen. >> i been very respectful and supportive of the administration but something has to change when it comes to border immigration issues, you heard how hospitals overloaded as mayor sometimes you have to put an undocumented person that goes to the hospital but nobody lived lives in the radio and there is limited spaces. alicia: the congressman hitting on the fact they have a crisis happening at the same time you have a ten year high in a border crossings at the southern border but also the covid crisis that continues to spread and it gets worse every day. >> the frustration is running deep everywhere it's running deep within the citizens and running deep within law enforcement i was on patrol in the border the other night and i'm wondering why are we actually doing this if all were going to do is release these people across-the-board illegally if we continue to reward them under the catch and release program they will continue to come, were not making a dent in what needs t

ainsley: henry cuellar has been in office for a very long time. people love him there.. in these large liberal cities, there is a terrible problem with homelessness. and as it turns out, there's a lot of crime involved with that too. first of all, a woman by the name of deborah todd was just walking on the street, and she wound up getting so significantly hurt because of, you've seen the tents on the streets where there are great big tents, there are homeless people, it's kind of scary. there she is. here's a quote she gave to "the new york times." listen to what happened to her -- ainsley: l.a. times. steve: because of the encampment, you. couldn't walk on the street, so she did. there was no light or stop sign anywhere at the street where i got hit. so she was struck by a car, i believe she sustained brain damage and is now suing the city. ainsley: yeah, injuries to her held, her hip, her back, her arm and her leg. steve steve terrible. brian: and now, first off, it's not just los angeles county, they're all over new york too, maybe your city. in the city of denver, i

brian: what's so interesting is you have a democrat in henry cuellar speaking the truth because he caresty. they are trying to primary him as well as the democratic mayor probably going to get blow back from the democratic party for telling the truth. ainsley: their message is don't come over yet they allow them to flood our country. they are not doing anything about it they don't care if they're covid positive. yet they care if we're covid positive. they want us to get vaccinated. they continue to send that message. other media outlets are not reporting on this. they know they have that power. so they continue to spread these messages. it's so infuriating and frustrating to watch this happen. because we all suffer. we have to do the right thing. yet, they don't have. to say. brian: how unbelievable is it that they are not even covering it on other networks. 18 seconds on abc. ainsley: the administration knows it they say the soundbite, we are not letting them come over. they know the other channels will play it yet, we see what's happening. we are reporting on it, but they know that the

. >> bill: that is democratic congressman henry cuellar on the dire need for backup for border patrolnts. that's happening at homeland security secretary announcing border agents encountered more than 212,000 migrants in july. that breaks a 21-year record. there is also leaked audio of the dhs chief revealing how overwhelmed the administration is on the border crisis. listen here. >> these numbers cannot continue. we cannot get to a point where we were a couple of weeks ago and we'll make sure that doesn't happen. >> bill: john hunt. the fallout after that visit today. >> good morning. we got that laekd audio of secretary may or cast. we watched the steady stream of migrants that built up to the figure of 221,000 kept coming across the rio grande and to a processing area. those pictures from our photographer who has been out here night after night with us. and in these leaked audio that we hear it is really about a change in tone from secretary . he is admitting to border patrol agents that he understands just how difficult it has been for them. listen here. >> it is our responsibilit

lawrence: only person that you really have in the democratic party standing suspect henry cuellar.as. steve: a hero. lawrence: guys this is reckless. he proposed that jeh johnson come back. i don't think that's going to solve the problem. mayorkas was the deputy under him. he knows what to do. steve: mayor can you say says the strategy is working. here is their strategy. there are a million laws on the looks to keep people from coming into the country. of the problem is mayorkas and this administration, they are essentially being very selective about which of the laws they are enforcing. and a guy by the name of tom feely who just retired from ice, he said. ainsley: is he fed up. steve: he had it up to here because trump was trying to stop things and biden not so much. here he is last night here on the channel. >> there is a fine line, tucker, between telling people we are not breaking the law and not enforcing it and being okay with that. some ice officials will tell you while the biden administration isn't telling us to break the law, but they are definitely telling you not to en
