any effort -- did mayorkas or dhs make any effort to meet with cbp officials on his trek down to mcallen, texas? >> there is no border security measures in everything the president has announced. all he's doing, announcing more magnets that's going to cause even more people to cross illegally. they continue to forget all -- everything that's necessary to secure our border and they continue to incentivize more illegal immigration and more cartel activity. no, secretary mayorkas is not in communication with anybody willing to tell him what is necessary to secure the border. they are going to secure to use talking points to pander to open border activists rather than do what's right for the american people. >> john: the former dhs secretary in the obama administration jay johnson said over the weekend if the numbers continue as they are, it's going to create a real mess, could hurt biden politically in the election next year. >> this needs to be all hands on deck issue for the federal government and purely political terms, you want to maximize donald trump's chance of re-election, fail to d

he recently visited these communities including mcallen texas. what are residents there and along the border telling you about the issue of immigration? it's such an important question and i'm glad you framed it around our communities. when the surges happen and we don't act at the federal level we leave our counties are municipalities are charities and these border communities have to deal with the fallout. this is the price that we're paying for a lack of action and washington d.c.. we haven't acted since the reagan era to reach some kind of bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform. yes it secures a border, but also puts our immigration system in a place where it's not subject to the rumors. and innuendo that the smugglers take advantage of. that it better meets our immigration system for the needs of our economy. that deal is out there escobar has a bill that i'm supporting that i think is a version with where we can be. but we need it bipartisan folks that will do that. >> congressman thank you so much for joining us, texas congressman all
