. >> laura foote. i run m.b. action. i formally don't say this but i recommend taking a pause. i recommend asking yourselves why does the natural resources defense fund support this? why does habitat for humanity support this? why does the housing association of northern california support this? why does the california labor support this? why does the building trades support this? this is a broad coalition. i understand there's homeowners associations an groups in san francisco that really oppose this but go out and ask all the organized groups who have endorsed this bill, why are they so passionate about it? i also recommend supporting the redevelopment build that's up this year. there's so many good housing bills up this year you could be spending time endorsing. ask yourself this. >> i have so say s.b.50 is not a change i'd like to live through. thank you supervisor for your resolution to oppose and i strongly support it. one of the best draws to san francisco is our districtive neighborhoods which have great charm and character. this is what brings tourist dollars to san fr

i'm laura foote, advocate for yimby, yes in my back yard. i am very acustomed to being called an outsider for standing up for saying we need to standup for people that are in crisis. every community needs to be more welcoming. so many people are shocked at the level of vitriol and opposition that has been lodged against this desperately needed homeless shelter, and i will not say that i am not shocked at all. this is very common. every time we see a homeless shelter proposed, there are people behaving this way. how can we make permanent systemic change so that we're not doing this? hours of public comment of the worst things you've ever heard referred to about other human beings. we need to be allowing homeless shelters in every single neighborhood across the city all down the south bay, everywhere in california, and we cannot continue to make decisions like this where we bring out the worst in people. we need to decide together we are all going to allow homeless housing in every single neighborhood. we need it here, we need it there, and we

. >> laura: who is footing the bill for this? >> well, right now it's the nonprofit network. regional funds as well as local funds of come together in order to address the need we have today. but ultimately they have already expressed to me they've got about a week left of being able to commit these kind of resources to address this issue. >> laura: yeah, well, the federal government gets huge grants to catholic relief services, catholic charities, lutheran organizations and others. but this is costing huge money to the american taxpayer. our hearts and thoughts go out to your community as you deal with this, mayor. we are going to continue to spread the word. this is an emergency. thank you so much for joining us tonight. 1100 miles east along the border in texas, the crisis is also turning dyer. republican state lawmakers calling on congress to act with all means necessary. come back from vacation, provide funding to address the situation as hundreds of illegals flood the border there every day. joining me now, texas lieutenant governor dan patrick. dan, congressman castro

laura. behind us is the border crossing. you can see the 30-foot metal spires here as well as the razor water, part of the president's barrier project. he will get an update. he will sit down, talk with officials about what could happen next. >> if the drugs don't stop, mexico can stop them if they want, we're going to tariff the cars. the cars are very big. if that doesn't work, we will close the border. >> reporter: yeah. in talking about the tariffs, he says cars will be tariffed 25%. so would goods and products. remember mexico is our third largest trade partner. and along the border, business -- cross-border business equals $2 billion each day. so there's been a lot of pushback to the president not only from business leaders but politicians about closing this border down. that we mantle is why he walked things back a bit. but, again, still threatening mexican authorities if they don't change the situation along the border. >> jay, i understand the president is also making a second stop in california. >> reporter: yeah. he'll hraoleave the bord

footing? . >> i think vicki is exactly right. jared's response to lauraram, who might well be an extension of the white house in terms of providing a defense for a lot of members of the administration was telling, laughing in response to you know serving potentially acting as a national security threat is a response i think that indicates this idea that jared and ivanka you know view themselves in a different light. >> that they, you know, they do not have to adhere to the same standard as the rest of the administration and the rest of the america quite frankly. i think what you saw jared kushner doing is utilizing barr's summary of the mueller report in an exploitative way similar to the way the president has been using it, which is using it as a blanket excuse to exonerate himself from a lot of different issues that cropped up before the mueller report was in the conversation. right? and nationals, the issue of security clearance has been written about since 2017 and it again is exemplary of how jared and ican vanka have a different of standards the pre

. >> laura: we keep saying this, sara, you said it, imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. imagine if george w. bush's doj had authorized surveillance of obama's campaign team. can you imagine what the aclu and all of these organizations would have -- they would have been screaming holy hell. >> most of the civil libertarians would have been going crazy, "new york times," "washington post" would have won putlizers. they would have put their money into investigating why the bush campaign was spying. but all we need to do is look at right now, laura, there's good reason for william barr, the attorney general, to say these things. he obviously has more information than we do. we've been reporting on this, starting over 2 1/2 years ago. with the expansion of authorities under the obama administration, that allowed people within the intelligence community to spy at an enormous rate. now, some of that was legalized, they expanded it. he's going to take a hard look at a political campaign, that was given no defensive briefing, but was approached by -- >> laura: he said on another

laura. you're absolutely right. a lot of people expecting the president to be here and tour some of his barrier here. the 30-foot metal slats, razor we wire. he will sit down and talk with officials as well as border patrol agents here. he travels to the worlder with an ultimatum for authorities in mexico. >> if the drugs don't stop, mexico can stop them if they want, we will tariff the cars. the cars have very big. if that doesn't, we're going to close the border. >> reporter: yeah. now, of course the president walked back a threat that he would close the border this week or early next week. now saying he will give officials about a year, 12 months, to clean up and crack down on illegal immigration, on drug trafficking and gang activity along the border. the president of course did close the border at sapn ysidro. the amount of trade daily at the border, about $2 billion, laura. so a lot of pushback on that idea of shutting things down here. >> a lot of business owners are concerned about that. well, jay, the president also, i understand is making a second stop in california. >> reporter: yeah. he travels to th

laura but mainly. in this truth in southern mexico people find any way they can to escape the police. many have been travelling for weeks or months some by foot some with children or in such the better life in the united states military leaders having a joke witnesses say people are being forced on to police buses and taken to an immigration center almost one hundred kilometers in the direction they came from god i'm on the run amok. we just want protection we don't want to write we just want protection the police say they're here to help actually be amusing we're going to call the women and children in the buses so they continue on their way but not by walking because they're hurting themselves we can't allow them to walk anymore because several have been hurt and they're carrying children in our market many escaped with their children and press on with their journey to the u.s. . president donald trump is not giving them a warm welcome he's starting to close the border unless mexico stops people from crossing it's not just border closure there's a threat to these people taking this head on and saw a video posted online shows members of the
