i wanted to bring in jacob soboroff who has been covering the situation at the border extensively forn update on the administration's response to the situation at the border. where do things stand right now? >> reporter: i have to say, craig, the administration does get credit for moving children out of custody and doing so relatively rapidly. they were up to over 5,000 kids in the custody of the so-called operators, law enforcement personnel along the border. the vast majority of the children, as you pointed out to the president in an extraordinary interview, i have to say, there were 22,000 in the custody of health and human services where they are supposed to get care and custody the child welfare professionals. he wanted to talk to you about comprehesive immigration reform. as we talked about the other day, when i introduced everybody to anna and her family, that mixed status family where she was a u.s. citizen and her parents were undocumented, they face a challenge now that the president himself is looking at -- there they are on the screen -- a more targeted approach, perhaps,

joining us now, msnbc correspondent jacob soboroff. jacob, good morning.dinary up here. i have never been up here, grown up my entire life in los angeles. it's not an exaggeration to say modern l.a. would not exist without the water that flows through here, literally hundreds of billions of gallons a year, comes from hundreds of miles outside of l.a. in order to make the city we know possible. but this water is a finite reforce and importing water is not sustainable. it's running out. l.a. has a plan to address that. it involves drinking recycled toilet water if the residents are up for it. watch this. straight up, huh? >> straight back and straight forward. just like that. there you go! >> okay. >> reporter: this fisherman has been here for over 30 years and invited me to join him. >> you're a natural. >> reporter: soaking your line in the los angeles river makes you almost forget where you are. a former concrete danage ditch next to the interstate. >> the 5 freeway. you can hear it. >> reporter: sounds like a rushing river actually. while it often doesn'
