that spending coming from both democrats and republicans including alexandria ocasio-cortez and on the other side, liz we are getting a look at how americans are grading his performance. it is across four different major polls with the high of 54% and the lowest at 48%. the biden administration is reversing course on its announcement that would keep the refugee cap of 15,000 set by the trump administration after facing fierce backlash for some progressive democrats. let's go to nbc's monica alba joining us from wilmington, delaware. what is happening with this refugee cap right now? >> reporter: well, so this was a rare reversal to a reversal, alex, from president biden. as a candidate, he had promised to raise the refugee cap from the historically low place it had been in terms of refugees admitted to the country under former president donald trump, but in the matter of a couple of hours yesterday, the white house essentially said we're not going to be able to lift this from 15,000 to 62,000 which was the initial goal, instead saying we're going to be doing some reallocation, potentially fast trackin

okay, we've got liz: let's welcome florida sheriff wayne ivey to the shelf, good to see a . . . we have progressive democrats alexandria ocasio-cortezemocrats sending a letter to the biden administration they're concerned about the border facility as reception centers,pt reception facility, these democrats call them concentration camps under trump, the conditions now are way worse now in these facilities plus there is covid, the double standards are pretty disturbing. >> there is no question, there's always a double standard because to be honest the truth does not. fit their narrative and when you look at their approach to this and changing course on this, the reality neither one of them have a clue what law enforcement officers do every day to protect this country and certainly what our customer border patrol agents and local law enforcement are doing to try and stop the crisis at the border. liz: the texas governor is also slammed the federal facilities, the biden facilities he said allegations of sexual assault, bullying, understaffing and a disregard for covid-19 protocols, you see that going on then you see the biden a administ

liz: back with us now house oversight republican james comer, good to see you. what is your take on more than five democrats saying president biden shut down your overcrowded facility, we're talking alexandria ocasio-cortezare among signing the letter. >> they have no concept of reality, they don't care about border security, they've a total disregard for law enforcement, we have a crisis at the border, we have a crisis in america and i think they're only adding fuel to the fire by turning up the temperature in america right now. liz: you say keep the facilities, we need them but fix the border policy to stop the overcrowding, is that your point. >> that is my point getting back to the border it is only going to get worse, the surgeon is only going to continue because joe biden left the impression with the world that you can cross the border if you're not a company minor or a child and want to get across the border you stay in the united states forever that's what we saw in el paso yesterday the border facility had dozens and dozens of unaccompanied children and we asked about the children and their going to stay in the united states, that will only keep more desperate parents are more people to send chi
