in about three weeks ago, secretary mayorkas came to my office in d.c.d spoke about a few things. i asked him for one thing in particular, to help with this crisis. that's repatriation flights out of del rio, texas, those are essentially flights where folks who do not qualify for asylum which are about 95% of the migrants coming over. they get put on a plane and instead of getting sent to another ice tee deposition in de united states they get sent back to country trim of origin only way this goes away. >> ainsley: or cities across the country. most of them come in through arizona and texas. the governors saying we can't handle all of this. governor of texas is putting them on these buses and shipping them throughout various places throughout the united states. voluntarily get on these buses and go to cities where their loved ones are living. many of them are going to d.c. and new york. you have got the democratic leaders that are complaining, but you have representative tony gonzales how just heard from. he is the republican. and he says democrats have
