thank you for being with us, madam chairman congresswoman joyce beatty. thank you. >>> joining me now is member of the house homeland committee and representative of the district we just spoke about, congressman al green. congressman, your state of texas has been on everyone's mind recently from the fight for abortion rights, voting rights, and now the haitian immigration crisis. so, what do your fellow democrats need to do right now to help fight all of these battles at once? >> excellent question, reverend, thank you for having me on. and um, i'm wearing my mask because of an office policy that we have. excellent question. i think, reverend, that first we have to realize that failure is not an option. failure would create a circumstance that would cause us to forever regret not having taken appropriate action. we are at a seminal moment in time. we have the opportunity to do things now that will impact the rest of time. so here's what i think is most important. we should listen to mr. mcconnell. he gave some sage advice, recently. when he was asked to h

. >> okay, so rolo, here's a tweet from joyce beatty, member of congress. i want to express my concern regarding reports of an urgent humanitarian crisis for tens of thousands of displaced haitians at our southern border. i want to be clear that we're a nation of humanity and rule of law. my heart aches for the people of haiti who are currently experiencing unimaginable political and economic upheaval. as we address the current surge of haitian people, it is critical that we approach the situation focused on fairness and the safety of all involved. i will continue to fight to see that refugees are welcome in america, regardless of race or country of origin. this is -- she writes, she's the chair of the congressional black caucus, from joyce beatty, member of congress. her reaction to what she is seeing on the southern border. you mentioned and a previous caller mentioned as well the images of border patrol on horseback with a whip, corralling migrants at the border. the white house reacted to those images yesterday. here's the press secretary. >> there are

want to make this absolutely clear, and i spoke to our chair of the congressional black caucus joyce beatty, congresswoman karen bass and senator cory booker. we are not done. the george floyd justice in policing bill is very much alive. we will continue to work because lives depend on it. >> how do you see regaining footing on that, and does it mean the participants would change? >> well, what we are going to do first and foremost is look at the executive orders that were passed in the previous administration. senator scott wants to talk about requirements that law enforcement has to meet in order to receive federal funding. that was a policy under the trump administration, so is senator scott saying he didn't support trump's policies on police accountability that he adopted? if so, then let's have that debate and let's have that conversation, but george floyd justice in policing is very much alive. the congressional black caucus which is 57 members strong will call for the passage of this legislation. lives depend on it and we are not done. >> congressman steve horse,ford, thanks you so m

i know the congressional black caucus chair wochl joyce beatty met with the administration and talking about how we moved forward to make sure the haitian people who suffered so much in the last decade especially the last month are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve and are given the opportunity for asylum in this country. and so we're continuing to work with the biden administration to make sure that what happened doesn't happen again. and what we're holding people accountable for the actions that happened. and so i am giving this administration the grace that they deserve so we can make sure we get policies in place that treat people at our borders with the dignity and respect that all humans deserve. because what i saw happening was not acceptable and can't happen again. >> and we know the dhs secretary has sated it's all under investigation. and that he wants to wait for all the facts to come out before we really understand the full picture there. but, i mean, you have -- you have asylum laws on the books that are very clear and very narrow. so what does the administ

joining me is democratic congresswoman joyce beattie, the chair of the congressional blacblack caucus house officials about their handling of this border crisis yesterday. thanks for being here. to read specifically what this envoy said, he will not be associated with the united states' inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of haitian refugees. he said is policy approach is deeply flawed. he's saying he can't be part of this. this is an indictment of president biden's whole approach to haiti. what's your reaction to this resignation? >> well, certainly we understand the difficulty of the position that the special envoy put to deal with. we talked about some of those conditions yesterday with top officials. it is very clear that there are a lot of things that many of us would have liked to have seen happen differently. we know what the past 48-plus hours demonstrated. you know, seeing cowboys on horses with reins whipping people, children, people -- black individuals like us. we spoke directly to that, wanting that to be halted immediately, wanted those individuals t

strongly committed to with great leadership from the congressional black caucus led by congresswoman joyce beattyu support the extension of the use of the public health invocation to essentially make asylum not possible for these folks or any others, the biden administration has extended? >> well, i disagree with the extension of any policy related to the excuse that was put forward by president trump inspired by stephen miller designed to just keep people out of america. i am hopeful that policy is going to be re-evaluated. >> there is a lot going on right now. there is a debt -- a government shutdown. let's divide them. there is a reconciliation thing happening there but now a bill to fund the government and to pass the debt ceiling. i have to say i am a little confused on where we ended up on that. when is that going to be passing? you don't need republican votes on it i guess. you'll just pass it and see what happens in the senate? >> we don't need republican votes in the house. we expect they'll be irresponsible in the house even though the republicans in this chamber and the republicans acr

i want to thank our chairwoman, joyce beatty, for her leadership on ensuring that the message of the congressional black caucus, our message, our power, is reflected on the floor of this house and to the american people. to our constituents. millions and millions of americans that the congressional black caucus represent. i ask unanimous con sent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and includy extraneous material on the subject of this special order. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. jackson lee: thank you. madam speaker, it is clear that we will be dealing with build back better for the time of this week and into next week. so the congressional black caucus will come very briefly this week to discuss and to let our constituents in -- and americans know that any distorted representation of the $3.5 trillion has not -- as not being able to afford it or that it is too expensive is really a misrepresentation. first of all, we support, as a congressional black caucus, the build back better enthusiastically. it's a $3.5 trillion pac

after losing the democratic primary against joyce beatty.mentum she gained from her previous race will help her as she sets her sights even higher. and joining me now is morgan harper. ms. harper, welcome to the sunday show. >> hi, jonathan. thanks for having me. >> all right. so, why are you rubbing? >> i'm running because everything is on the line right now. we see that we have attacks on our democracy, on a woman's right to choose and we need to stop the far right extremist like j.d. vance and josh men dell who are on the other side in this senate race. we have to recognize doing the same old thing isn't going to work. we have to turn out black voters, women, and we have to come with an authentic message and messenger. in many ways i think my story is ohio's story. to connect with these voters. i was born here, given up for adoption. my mom immigrated to ohio from trinidad. we went through a lot. it showed me how vulnerable we all are. i worked in the obama administration in consumer protection. that's the message we need to get to the co
