i worked very well with secretary jeh johnson when i chaired homeland security.o take the politics out of it and put good policy in place. and, you know, when all is said and done, this is a self-inflicted wound when the president rescinded on day one president trump's migrant protection protocols and remain in mexico, which actually brought it to a grinding halt. we had the situation for the first time under control, and i told him. i said you can call it whatever you want. you can branded a biden administration policy, but if you don't go back to this, you're going to continue to have this bleeding and this, you know, human trafficking crisis. >> sandra: summoned more issues to deal with as well. obviously inflation and taxes front and center. the white house pounced on national republican committee chair rick scott's tax plan this week. take a look. congressional republicans plan it will increase middle-class families taxes and average of nearly $1500 this year alone and take 100 billion out of the hands of middle-class families each year. do you think senator

he was secretary, deputy secretary under jeh johnson who by the way said title 42 should not be liftedsurge and he said a thousand days would be a bad day in office. we're looking 18,000 a day. 500,000 in five weeks after title 42 is lifted. to your point, liz, most importantly, on day one they rescinded the migrant protection protocols, remain in mexico which were working. i worked with the trump administration to implement this. that actually did secure our border. elizabeth: now you have people drowning including a national guardsmen in the rio grande, while people pass. congressman mccaul, thanks for joining us. we'll have you on again soon. thanks for your insights there. more and more people do not believe the president. he claims he never knew about hunter biden's business deals. got reports out of the new york post based on obama white house visitor logs that hunter biden's business partner was a regular visitor at the obama white house when the president was vice president. we dig in next on "the evening edit." ♪. >> what were these meetings, what was eric saying to joe, what

i would say jeh johnson, barack obama's former secretary of homeland security back in 2019 said that000 a day is a good day. and that 4000 a day is a crisis. now we are at 7000 were about to head toward 18. we are not doing this because of health reasons were doing this because of political concerns. the left wing of the democratic party has been demanding this shift for the first year end a half of a joe biden's tenure. the only reason they've been pushing back against it from the administration to this point is because of the various outbreaks that we have had. the variance that have happens. ultimately what we are going to see here is a flood they really have no plans ready in order to stop. and when one talks about congress i agree. think congress could have done something on this under barack obama. i think they could've done something on this action under president trump. i think he was willing to move on dreamers and other low hanging fruit that's actually pretty popular among republican voters for the problem is the democrats chose under both president obama and president tru

>> first off, i would say that jeh johnson, barack obama's former secretary of homeland security, just9, said that a thousand a day is a good day that 4,000 a day is a crisis. now we are at 7,000 how we are about to head towards 18,000. we are not doing this because of health reasons, we are doing this because of political concerns. the left wing of the democratic party has been demanding that this shift for the first year and a half of joe biden's tenure, and the only reason that they've been pushing back against it from the administration to this point is because of the various outbreaks that we had come in the various variantses that have happened, and ultimately what we are going to see here is a flood that they really have no plans ready in order to stop, and when juan talks about congress, i agree. i think the congress could have done something on this under barack obama. i think they could have done something on this actually under president trump. i think that he was willing to move on dreamers and a number of the other low-hanging fruit that actually is pretty popular, or scor

the way jeh johnson and president obama were doing it, i think we need to look at that playbook againreatment of these asylum seekers? this has been one of the arguments that, hey, they're not exactly staying in the best of circumstances while they're in mexico. >> well, you know, again, there's ways that we can work with mexico. we can provide them -- if you're going to have them -- we can work with mexico, provide them more resources. or why not do this, chuck. i want to think outside the box. right now the coyotes come through, let's say, from guatemala to mexico. some of them never make it. if it's a young lady, a cartel might say you're going to stay here and work for us. or a young man, you look strong, we're going to make you part of this. so why not do the asylum in those countries and then fly them in. $500 a ticket will be a lot cheaper than them paying $8,000 to the mexico cartels. keep in mind that in six months there were over 1 million individuals that came into the united states, just in six months. multiply that by $8,000, that's $8 billion that the cartels made. so th

and i believe secretary jeh johnson is right. recently the head of the del rio texas border patrol union, and my colleague from texas is here, and the head of the del rio texas border patrol was here and said that they are so busy with transportation and processing of illegal immigrants that no one is patrolling the southern border of the united states and i'm certain that the distinguished senator from texas, senator cornyn, who is on the floor will address this issue after i get finished speaking, because he talks to people from texas every day. the crisis that is hitting his home state and hitting this entire nation. so this del rio sector covers an area of 240 miles of border and the head of del rio texas border patrol told us no one is patrolling that section of the border because the personnel are too busy filling out paperwork and moving illegal immigrants from location to location. in humana, arizona, up to 90% of border patrol agents are busy with day care. 90% of them can't spend time guarding the border. large portions

so, jeh johnson, you are an attorney. i am an attorney.a debate from the perspective of a government lawyer. i was general counsel of the department of defense for four years. when we were defending all of these cases brought by guantÁnamo detainees. and they took comfort from the fact that they all had extremely competent counsel making the best case they could before the d.c. federal district court. so when the petition was denied we knew it was the result of sound jetting and good lawyer-ing. even lindsey graham said, about 12 years ago, the confidence law earring on the defense side representing a guantÁnamo detainee, representing some of the accused of a heinous crime, lends strength to the system. that is what the judge was doing along with a lot of other lawyers. >> he does know better. he does. but remember that the accolades he has learned from donald trump to say the outrageous thing, which for the, enraged don't apologize. double down and raise money and gets reelected. on tom cotton's case raise your presidential polling from 0
