why has media turned a blind eye to the role played by the project's coordinator, alex mensing who is from the university of san francisco's immigration clinic? let's get into that with dan stein in tampa and francisco hernandez in fort worth, texas. dan, let's start with you here. this is quite something. we have american ngos and other ngos working to get the publicity going for this group. they come every year about easter time and make their way to mexico. mexico usually disbands them effectively. they started to disband them before i think the president started tweeting about it a couple weeks ago. but you have these lawyers that basically embed with the group who are american lawyers. they're going over, okay, this is what you say for credible fear of persecution and then they show up on buses and then they all start reciting the same line. it seems like it's encouraging people to gain the system. >> laura, it's aiding and abetting and organized smuggling. the media says it's like a street fair, they're coming in for a festival and going back to honduras. this is organized smugg

you have these lawyers, including this guy who was one of the lead lawyers in this effort, alex mensing, a project coordinator organizing this effort to help the caravan. the concern, congressmen, is that we have american lawyers and other nongovernmental organizations almost working hand in glove, de facto, with media outlets to push, mexican election coming up in a few months. put the political pressure on mexico and as i said, keep it all going. they make their way to tijuana and then walked? >> seeing this caravan make its way towards the united states endeavor towards tijuana and seeing the way they are facilitating this with the media and with the immigration attorneys, i wish the immigration attorney organization has at least 15,000 members in the united states. of that organization. there is federal statutes that prohibit and are a felony for contributing and aiding and abetting illegal immigration. they better have their laws right if they're going to go to a foreign country and help facilitate an unarmed invasion into the united states. we are weak on our asylum laws. that is

david: i want to put out the word coming from one of the groups, a woman called alex mensing, she said there have already been cases of people being illegally turned away by border officials when trying to request asylum at the border. so again, they're talking about the ilillegality. if you can put that up again, i want to focus on the name. organization, if you don't speak spanish, it means people without borders. that is to say, they're totally open. they don't want any borders. that's what this is all about. >> they are the open border folks, and funded by extreme liberal left groups here in the united states, and they're sending attorneys down to coach these individuals to exploit our legal system. and this is what it should not be, and we already accept so many. enough is enough. there's a limit to our generosity and kindness here in the united states, and we should put americans and our families and those poor individuals in our country. what about our military veterans who have all kinds of issues dealing with addiction and pts and homelessness, we should prioritize our own cit

alex mensing was there and said no one was being processed because authorities said they didn't have the manpower, so they decided to camp out at the door. >> they decided to camp outside. >> reporter: so people are just sitting outside in sleeping bags or something? >> we've got blankets. we've got people bringing clothing and food from the community. there is a ring of fencing around them. and everyone is out here, organizing. >> reporter: now remember these folks say they're not looking to go across the border illegally. they're like your average refugee fleeing gang wars in their own country. some officials say if they're trying to flee central america they could ask mexico for asylum. you can check it out on your podcast. >>> and we have breaking news from afghanistan's capital. more than 20 people are dead after a double suicide bombing carried out in central kabul. the police chief says the second bombing was meant to catch those rushing to the scene of the first one. one of those killed was a photographer for the french news agency. no one has claimed responsibility. >>> sout
