we elected the first republican mayor in mcallen since 1972. people are frustrated what the democrats are doing on the border. we normally apprehend about 435,000 people a year. from san diego to brownsville. we're about 1200 miles and 1900 miles of the border. we are already projecting 2 million apprehended this year. remember, for every one we catch another two or three get through that we don't catch. that's two to three million, maybe more crossing the border just the first year under biden/harris. it is an invasion. people don't like that word. some people don't like it but it's true. that's what is happening. texas and america is being invaded. what do you do with a 15-year-old from guatemala who can't speak english and three grade levels behind? you can't put them in a school. what is their future here? they join a criminal gang or work for slave wages the rest of their left and send money to the cartel. they have created a new slavery class. working in canteen as massage parl lors and low wages sending a third of their paychecks. they a

mcallen is a border town, as you mentioned, 85% roughly hispanic.on. given the fact that that county went blue, it was democratic, what does that say to you that a short time later within a span of a few months, all of a sudden now it's going to you in the mayoral race, do you see a change in tone with the residents in the area. >> having a good dose of competition is important. people realizing, generally the hispanic community is very conservative. for whatever reason, historically they voted democrat. things are changing little by little, changing in different areas. it's findly hitting the south. i think it's very important, we have to keep on having a good dose of competition, competition makes things better. a few months later, everybody knows i was a former republican sheriff, the people chose to elect me. i think that's something that's very important, things are changing and we're very happy. griff: mr. mayor, i want to turn to the vice president's trip. vice president harris in guatemala today, headed to mexico tomorrow. she's addressing t

of the things going on on the border, the reality of the crisis, she's going to need to go to the mcallen recently and i can see it is out of control, it is out of hand. federal resources are overwhelmed and understaffed but the other thing i stood point out is not only does it have a negative impact on federal agents but it is draining resources from state and local officers because federal agents are tied up dealing with the illegal aliens so the state and local officers are dealing with those things. as well. todd: to follow up on what robert was alluding to critics are saying harris visiting the border but going to el paso is like wanting to go to vegas but flying to denver, when you compare the mileage from where everybody thinks harris should be in el paso, the same distance from vegas to denver. is this triple waste of time? >> el paso is a border town like san diego is but in one of many marie antoinette type incidents, the vice president flying her 757 to fort bliss, texas, getting her armored car where the streets are going to be cleared and go to a cafÉ where she will watch the

we went to mcallen, texas, a couple of weeks ago.rder town and they're seeing up close and personal what is happening at the border with all of these people, 2,000 people coming into their area every day from the criminal cartels. it's 85% hispanic, just elected a republican mayor. >> well, apparently it's all climate control, cry mall change. so -- climate change. so i don't know. my grandparents i'm greated from italy and cuba. the reasons they came was opportunity and freedom. what people are starting to realize, this administration sold us a bill of goods. were you there, where's the vice president? it's either whileful ignorance or a complete disconnect of what people want and need. people are going to get smarter. they were sold a bit of goods. now that reality is setting in that more than likely they'll be in a worse position i think the tide is going to start to change really quick, maria. maria: i don't know how she gets away with saying that the root cause is climate change. that is just outrageous. i mean, knowing what we

brian: all right republicans celebrating javier narrow win in mcallen, texas.ic party. here to react is ceo and big data analytics an hispanic market expert lilly valetta. first off your reaction to this election? >> well, we're seeing shifting demographics at play right here in mcallen, texas. it is amazing to see what hispanics are doing to flip seats, but guess what, brian that not only happened in mcallen with mayor villos, but also happened in the 2020 elections, even if trump didn't win the national vote, he's still got places as we know like florida and others that are showing a new trend that both parties must pay attention to. brian: so lili, another thing that comes up conventional wisdom the autopsy when mitt romney lost was republicans have ton easier when it comes to illegal immigration because the hispanic community looks at that as a personal afront. that doesn't seem to be the case >> absolutely, again, look at this mayoral race. he was racing on the economy, supporting small businesses, and we have been running data analytics and incites for th

mcallen is the epicenter of the crisis. here is senator ted cruz. >> to give you a sense of how far they are, chicago, illinois, is closer to washington, d.c. than el paso is to mcallen and so she is going where the height of the problem isn't. kamala, you need to go to the donna tent facility and look at the children in cages that you and joe biden put there in a way that is endangering their safety. >> dana: let's bring in congressman henry cuellar. you are keeping us informed what's going on down there. i believe it was yesterday you had a joint op-ed in the dallas morning news asking the biden administration to come and visit. do you think this is a good step she is going? are you disappointed it will be in el paso? >> you know, first of all i'm glad she is going down to the border because that is part of her job portfolio, number one. number two, yes, the epicenter is down there in lower rio grande, the lower part of my district down there. if you look at the numbers that are down there compared to el paso, you are not

i had an aunt, her maiden name is mcallen.he was 12 years old at the time of the massacre and she and her family were forced into the internment camps at the state fairgrounds. it was a white woman who employed her mother that went to the fairgrounds and was able to get them removed from the fairgrounds, and from there the family left and went to oklahoma city. she ultimately met my uncle bill , and she went on to do tremendous things. she was a social worker and educator. importantly, she was the first executive director of the washington bureau of the national -- of the urban league looking -- working under whitney young and vernon jordan, and she was part of the team that crafted the civil rights laws along with martin luther king, lyndon b. johnson and dorothy height. tracy: i love getting to know about her story and family history during our previous conversations and i know -- and i'm glad the world is getting to know it now. attorney buck frankland, wrote about his escape. you cannot help but wonder at the time whether

than el paso is to mcallen.iles. on it goes. and the number of encounters on the border are stunning. you had 180,000 in the month of may, brandon. >> yeah, there are different problems across the border. what we've seen in the past is that there has normally been two areas that are trouble spots. right now under this crisis, which is the worst crisis in the history of the border patrol. right now we're seeing problems everywhere. el paso just happens to be one of those places that is more secure than the vast majority. if she wanted to come to see where the majority of people getting away, she would come to tucson, arizona. if she wants to go where most apprehensions are taking place it's mcallen, texas. if she wants to see both you go to del rio. you don't go to el paso to see what is actually going on on the border. she won't get a true sense of what we're dealing with as i put on a uniform and patrol the border. she is not going to get that sense from a visit to el paso. >> bill: it is true that el paso had

equipment to my quick response to that and then i want to move on for the election of the mayor in mcallen >> i think, you know, charlie is right, president obama's election was a real moment in the country in terms of going forward, people on the left think he didn't talk about race sufficiently end he lost ground when he talked about a policeman arresting a professor at harvard so i think what you get here is a situation where it's a rapidly changing country right now and i think the people, the politicians on the right thing by stirring racial grievance on the right it benefits them politically and i think that's a big difference about what's going on right now. >> john: the other issue i wanted to talk about was the election of the new mayor in mcallen, texas, pretty much ground zero of the border crisis down there. the very first republican hispanic joe win that seat in a city that is 85% hispanic, what is to say about what hispanics are thinking, how much does the border play into his victory and what does this portend for november 2022 when it comes to hispanic voters? >> i think po

they goal to an area close to mcallen which is where kamala harris is avoiding.caught coming across the border and the things that we have caught in country up in the tarrant county and dallas county area. we are having huge loads of drugs that are being seized. so there hasn't been any progress. the border is open. and, you know, talking about the kids coming across. and we have got a crisis on the border. and that crisis is growing throughout america. and we have got to draw a line in the sand some place and take care of it. ainsley: congressman, what do you think the action will be from border patrol and people shaking hands with president trump and governor abbott? >> look, they spoke very highly of president trump when i was there because he took care of them. he gave them the tools they need. if you meet with our border patrol agents, they are wonderful people. but they took this job because they want to get control of the border. they want to push the drug cartels out of america. they see the fentanyl coming across right now in record numbers. and they see

it's not the size of mcallen, where the rgb sector headquarters are, or el paso, it's basically in theof the southern border between texas and mexico. so it has not seen an unprecedented crush of illegal migration across the border. only in 2019 committed -- in 20, did del rio get an organization to deal with the crisis. so this is something they are unfamiliar with, and understandably unprepared for, and is crushing the county. host: a lot of questions this week about vice president kamala harris and her efforts on migration. when she will go to the border, if you are advising her, where would you tell her to go? guest: i would definitely tell her to go to del rio, because it was eye-opening. we had a townhall meeting hosted by some local officials there, and we were able to hear firsthand from people living in the area and how it is affecting them, their businesses, their personal lives, families, ranges and properties. and -- ranges and properties. and one thing i didn't do, i wish i could have taken a poll -- i have been out of office for several years, so i am rusty on these thing

this is the mcallen area, the hottest spot along the mexico border. the rio grande valley sector, the busiest in the border area. in a sign of growing frustration they elected the first republican mayor in two decades. it is a strongly democratic strongholds, 85% hispanic and the newly elected mayor says washington better gets it. take a listen. >> a lot of what we have in washington, our senators and congressmen, take a look at the immigration issue and take care of that. we are being burned with hundreds of thousands of immigrants almost daily. our taxpayers shouldn't be paying for that. we are taking care of it. >> reporter: you are taking a live look at the fox drone nearly joya. this is some of the brush, the dirt roads they walk down once they cross the rio grande and present themselves to where we are. we are heading into the summer months. i can tell you it is incredibly hot out here and incredibly humid with a lot of standing water, mosquitoes all over the place but border patrol agents, do not expect the heat to slow the migrants surge. the

was days ago, receiving some criticism because texas border officials say the problem spot is the mcallena where the former president will be, 800 miles away from el paso. governor abbott pledged state dollars toward building a border wall and looking at public funding campaigns online, crowdsourcing, figuring he will take matters into his own hands the government won't, half $1 million has come in. the biden team not the only one taking criticism from the border, so is governor abbott and he is doing it from another prominent republican. >> he has been in office 7 years. i'm hoping it is not political theater. we need to know where does the wall need to be built, how much needs to be built and how do we pay for it. >> reporter: draft circulated from the house homeland security committee showed a cut in funding for customs and border patrol by $1 billion. now is not the time to cut funding from that agency. looking at apprehensions, up 180,000 apprehensions, 674% from 2020, some governors in different states, south dakota, they are taking matters in their own hands by sending national gua

so i was in mcallen, texas, not too many weeks ago to see what's going on at the border and including the detention of juveniles and i met with the federal law enforcement officials to talk about the borders and the necessity of them being secure for purposes of avoiding crime, criminal activity, drug trafficking, narcotics, sexual abuse, and i just am really concerned about the mexican cartels. i think they are probably our greatest drug trafficking threat. they continue to supply most of the cocaine methamphetamines, heroin, fentanyl. i'm particularly concerned by the flood of methamphetamines. we have -- the senate spends lots of time on a variety of drugs and i sometimes think methamphetamines is overlooked as we have moved on to others. other 74% of all of the drug se su -- seizures in kansas are methm ap amphetamines, and so i want to expand the question to see if you have any knowledge about the terrorism or the espionage aspect of crossing the border related to the cartels? my understanding is that the chinese come to the united states at every opportunity to steal our secrets
