homeland security secretary mayokas said this about your cooperation, governor. watch >> governor abbott is not collaborating with the federal government on an issue that requires collaboration. we cannot have unilateral governor action that is not coordinated with the federal government to address an issue that is of national importance. >> harris: what is your response to that? >> i spoke to him about that yesterday. so after i spoke to the president, i spoke to secretary mayokas and i said listen, you all have the authority to stop this illegal immigration and stop people from crossing the border between ports of entry. i expect you to fulfill that. he said that he would look into it. but also know this. the only reason why we have these people coming across the border like we do is because both homeland security secretary and president are not enforcing current laws. they claim that republicans need to work with them. i have outlined what they need to do as a starting point to begin to secure the border. so any suggestion by either secretary mayokas or the pr

big question, though, would you move to get rid of mayokas?een really off the rails at many times on the realities on the ground, border patrol agents have told me that on the record to my face. this warning coming from mayokas after claiming on multiple occasions that the border is secure. watch. >> there is no question that the number of encounters that we're experiencing at the border is straining our system. we're operating in a system that is fundamentally broken. no one seems to disagree. we can't agree on a solution. a solution is long overdue. within the broken immigration system that we are operating. >> harris: we've run tmontage bt he said the border was secure. he called on congress to pass a better immigration bill that includes amnesty for millions of illegals. i want to go back to you, kevin, and talking about having the two people who failed in their mission of securing the border for the president. your thoughts. >> i think it's important the secretary and vice president are traveling there. >> harris: will they be held to acc

secretary mayokas knows better.he was deputy secretary in 2014 and 2015 we stopped the family surge by detaining people and making them see a judge. 90% loss, sent them home. numbers went down. what is he doing as secretary? not detaining them. released without seeing a judge. when the 90% lose th ice is told you can't remove them because they are simply here illegally. >> harris: talk to me about the drug cartels themselves. there is a prison break right along the border. you had some king pins in the prison. there were really very concerned south of the border, 17 people including guards died in that prison break trying to stop the evil that was escaping from the prison right along juarez and el paso. what kind of pressure can this president apply and can mayokas apply that they aren't using right now? >> this president isn't demanding mexico take action on the cartels. this president can do what the last administration did and offer the united states assistance on how to dismantle the cartels. the cartels in mexi

i can tell you it went well but in reality secretary mayokas needs to do more.. when he is saying that the number of cubans arriving in miami or in key west has dwindled, it is true but because they put a band-aid of giving 30,000 visas a month. i'm not sure if that's constitutional. i'm not sure if that will stand in court. that is why we need and i'm happy to say it again we need to fix the problem for good. to secure the border but secure it tight. fix the legal immigration so we can give the hand to the business owners that need employees and then give dignity to those people who are here who have been here for decades legally. that's the plan. that's why i say that's the plan i presented called the dignity act which i think we'll be able to fix the problem. it's the political elite. the people here in washington, we the politicians need to once and for all fix the problem. that's a problem i do not see the political willingness to do that in congress. or in the administration. >> dana: so congressman jimenez asked mayokas to allow these four individuals to

mayokas acknowledged about cartels. advocates say -- they don't have means to fly from abroad. >> migrants who reach the border in between the ports of entry on the vast majority, if not more than that, are using smuggling organizations to get there. and the average cost is $6 thousand. so it is not a wealth test. >> the situation here is so bad since guzman's arrest that members of congress say it is proof biden has to choose to help mexico in its fight against the criminal organizations. congressman michael waltz says it's time for the u.s. military to start applying intel again assets and cyber drones. we're fighting in a war against a pair a military operation with billions in assets. >> bill: we'll watch the trip as it moves throughout the day today. >> dana: griff jenkins is live in eagle pass, texas, another border town where the migrant crisis is overwhelming local resources. >> it is, dana. cbp sources moments ago telling fox news in the last 24 hours, there were 518 migrant encounters in the el paso sector alo

here is him talking about mayokas a moment ago. >> i thought mayokas said the border was secure? apparently he knows the cartels are pushing people across at $6 thousand or more per head. i guess mayokas doesn't know what he is talking about or been lying to us all this time. >> dana: guy, one of the things the white house was dealing with for two years why hasn't president biden gone to the border and now they can say he went to the border. so what's the follow up question? >> that's a good point because you might look at this if you are cynical as a box checking exercise. i think you can have two thoughts in your mind at the same time. you can say people have been calling for president biden to go to the border really for the first time ever, right? the white house said he drove near the border 15 years ago or something. it doesn't count. people are calling for him to go there and see his handiwork. he is responsible for this disaster and i think those of us who have said that should be pleased that he went. there is a chance he actually learned something. we'll probably learn

you wouldn't know it when asking dhh secretary mayokas who claims border is secure. border agents are fed up and want him out. griff jenkins from eagle pass, texas today. >> good morning. they are fed up. let me just show you what is happening here. over my shoulder right now high above on the bridge is a title 42 underway. it happens almost every hour all day. now as you watch, these migrants going back into mexico under title 42 expulsions lets he go to the drone a quarter mile away. you can see a group of 25 of mostly columbians and venezuelans, i was talking to them. what you have here, bill, is utterly a revolving door. many come, half go back. all day long non-stop. that's why it has been a fire hose of activity. let me show you video we shot just a few hours ago before dawn. this large group is about 70, 71 migrants from cuba, columbia, dominican republic. i talked to them and asked them if they feared the cartel and asking them how much they paid. some paying, $1 thousand, $2 thousand to cross the river. it is a snapshot of why these agents are so exhausted a

. >> bill: secretary mayokas repeats this. i don't know many people who believe it.ten. >> at the outset, let me be clear. title 42 or not, the border is not open. we will continue to fully enforce our immigration laws in a safe, orderly, and humane manner. >> bill: i know you disagree with that and you've been fighting it for some time. "wall street journal." biden discovers the u.s./mexico border. he is finally noticing there is a problem at the u.s. mexico border, not that he intends to do much about it. i sense you don't have much disagreement there. what happens after sunday and you go to monday in mexico city? did you expect much from those 48 hours? >> nothing whatsoever. i hope that joe biden goes down to the location where i have the national guard that has cordoned off this area where people were entering into el paso illegally so he can see firsthand exactly what the state of texas is having to do because joe biden was not doing it. but i have to go back and clarify what mayokas was saying because he knows he is lying to americans and americans know that h

. >> dana: mayokas yesterday. the administration extending title 42 to include cubeance, nicaraguans and haitians. every day so far this year cuban migrants have landed in florida. many hoping for asylum. phil keating is live in florida there. was is dania beach? >> president biden saying yesterday that cubeance, nicaraguans, haitians and venezuelans make up the entirety of the illegal immigration happening mexico to texas right now. no overnight landings of new boats last night in south florida, which is the first day in a while. but there were two boat landings 24 hours ago in the florida keys a town south of key largo. like all illegal migrant arrivals, they're detained, put on buses and brought here for processing at the customs and border protection facility. down in the florida keys from key largo to key west they're witnessing often daily arrivals. migrants stranded on the highway waiting to be picked up by police or sheriff's deputy. straining locals and feds. migrant encounters have surged 500% since octo

it took governor ducey waiting several months after secretary mayokas made a commitment to us to fillthese gaps and they didn't do it. he stepped up, took arizona resources to provide safety and security here along the border. the president must acknowledge this is his crisis. the numbers of people coming across are exponentially greater we've seen under any other administration. >> bill: thank you for your time. i don't know what it is behind you. is that a part of the border wall that wasn't finished? what is that? >> no, that's the morales dam where people walk across. we have had a large release of water so the numbers have been down the last two days. border patrol expects it to surge once the river recedes a little bit. >> bill: i was talking about on both sides of you there looks like a door is open. >> that's the yuma gap. that's where everybody just walks across. >> dana: this is incredible. thank you for joining us today. we appreciate you. you have so much on your plate. >> bill: thank you, sir. on a lighter note. i got a little something here. >> dana: there is an incredib

homeland secretary mayokas initially defended the agents but then walking back his support.e whipping narrative was false but still repeated the claims. steve hilton, host of the next revolution in "focus" now. your top line thoughts, steve. >> it is so disgusting. harris. biden used the term embarrassment. this is an embarrassment that they could behave like this. democrat politicians. it is disgusting. it reveals deeply worrying about today's democratic party which is that they, the people who constantly lecture us about humanity and compassion, they have no humanity, they have no compassion. people, individual people like these border agents just totally thrown under the bus in service to the democrat narrative. that's all they care about, their narrative. are they sending out the right message? in this case they wanted to send a message about racism and that's what they tried to do no matter how dishonest it was. they go on about how government workers, public sector workers, constantly praising teachers and nurses. only the right kind of government worker. if you are on

the two people behind him mayokas and kamala harris the vice president and secretary of homeland, hedn't do any of that. the president gets to move forward without the strongest voices in the republican party in the house even having a say. >> but even with -- they never really were the strongest voices. we know that they could be but the biden administration and this is partly why the mid-terms were not as good for the republicans as it could be. the messaging has never been on point. it has never been strong, never been consistent. so even though there is really no house of representatives right now because they haven't gotten a speaker. it will change and this is an important process. the fact is i really hope that they are appearing to be shell shocked by this process and surprised by it. that it's not the case when it comes to all the work they have to do for these next two years. >> harris: vice president kamala harris is teasing the biden administration's 2023 priorities after a cabinet meeting yesterday in a tweet. the v.p. said today she has never been more optimistic about

. >> we'll hear from more mayors, secretary mayokas of dhs will meet with the u.s. mayors on thursday, bill. >> bill: thank you, griff. we'll wait for news from there then. griff jenkins at eagle pass, texas. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: victory for the cowboys last night over the buccaneers despite this setback. >> great job, great drive dallas. and now he misses again. >> dana: cowboys kicker missed four extra point attempts becoming the first player to do so since officials started tracking that statistic in 1932. the cows boys still won the game 31-14 after scoring five touchdowns. they will face the 49ers on sunday. with his season now over, here we go again, guys, another season of speculation over tom brady's future on the field begins. >> i will go home and get a good night's sleep. feels like the end of the season. i love this organization. a great place to be. thank you for welcoming me. very grateful for the respect and hope i gave the same thing back to you guys. >> dana: things are a little different this year from last year. family considerations and

all of this comes as homeland security secretary mayokas is in miami, florida today touting new measures the administration says will put a dent in illegal crossings. two borders. shocking numbers tell a different story than the one coming out of his mouth. cbp sources telling fox there have been nearly 300,000 gotaways just since october. those are the ones our scanners and cameras can pick up. we don't know anything about them. we know that 300,000 of them roamed across our border and are traveling like they want to across our country. there are plenty of people who come and we don't see them coming. the number that you see there, 2,450 per day is not just the southern border, though, as i mentioned that we're worried about. new photographs show people wading through 12 feet of snow on the border with canada. illegal crossings in the past three months more than the last two years combined. >> as they see what's happening along the southern border and how easy and those coming across the border illegally are rewarded and released into the country and provided with all the resources to l

we saw secretary of homeland mayokas there but not the leading woman in this usa government. your thoughts. >> we invited both the president and vice president harris to join us here in eagle pass. so that they could really see what is going on. what we're seeing is not sanitized. we stood at the water's edge. we watched these people come across. we watched the coyote bring them across. we have talked to people who have made this journey. we have talked to people that are sur -- that have survived the sex trafficking. talking to a young woman who was raped 400 times, 400 times, put into a sex trafficking ring. people that were apprehended when they were 12 years old and put into these cartel rings. harris, this is something that we should never have a policy that is going to embolden the cartels and encourage them in what they are doing, which is trafficking human beings. using them as a product. trafficking drugs, destroying families all around this country. there should be bipartisan agreement. and this administration should be willing to say let's do what border patrol say

your piece on christmas day saying biden was stuck with a god awful mess and mayokas talked about inheriting a dismantled system. did you buy it? >> the crisis of his making. it is one thing to go to a meeting in paris and not visit the border and another thing to go to mexico city and criticisms are beginning to tell when he hasn't visited the border in a crisis largely of his making. >> dana: one of the things that criticism is widespread. >> do you think it's important for president biden to go to the border for himself? >> president, senior leaders, absolutely. senior leaders need to deal with a crisis. >> the dhs secretary has been there many times. >> is there value to the president going? >> there is value to the president going everywhere. >> more interested in the border communities. i'm the president of the united states and here at the border, i feel your pain border communities. >> dana: do you think this biden border visit is a check the box exercise so he stops getting asked the question when will he go to the border or will there be some genuine recognition there is a huge pro

mayokas will detail this after i finish at homeland security. one step we're taking. over the summer we saw a huge spike of venezuelans traveling through mexico and attempting to enter the united states without going through our legal processes. we responded by using an insuring that there are two safe and lawful ways for someone leaving the country to come to america. go first, if they are seeking asylum, they can use an app on their cell phone called cbp one, o-and-e. you have to spell it out, not the number one trend. to schedule at a point of entry and make their asylum claim there without crossing the border unlawfully and having the decision determined by an asylum officer do they qualify. second, in october we worked with the mexican government to launch a new parole program. there is another program, you all know but the public may not called the parole program. it immediately show results. it reduced the number of people crossing the border unlawfully. the way this parole program works, one must have a lawful sponsor here in the united states who agrees to sp
