enforcement officer the victim of this terrible thing and i agree with you entirely, there is no way raoulhis country, no way at all. okay? now, do you expect the president or any member of his administration to give you an answer to your questions? >> i would hope that he can at least acknowledge that he receives this letter from me answered stans the issues and i'm talking to him about in the letter. he has news worthy opportunities, when people approach him and thank him for obamacare that they have insurance. and i really feel this is a news worthy situation. my son took an oath to protect people in his community and he fought to get people like this off the street to keep our community safe and president obama needs to acknowledge that there are problems like this happening and our children are being killed by illegal criminals who are allowed to stay in this country thrill and repeatedly commit crimes. >> this wasn't a low level guy. this is a guy who assaulted a colorado police officer. >> absolutely. >> burglarize. this wasn't somebody who, you know, was caught with a misdemeanor a

louise and raoul were only toddlers when their parents were separated each taking one child. thirty-seven years passed, eventually, each learned the other was a solder, and both were serving in iraq. so now all of these years later they are together again, and they say their connection was immediate. >> kind of look liking at a twin but just a little shorter. >> i knew that was coming. >> you new the shortness would come. but we're blood brothers. now we're brothers in arms, brothers in uniform. >> now that they're home the two say they have a lot of catching up to do. i believe that connection was immediate, too. >> yep. and they look, they look exactly the same. >> yes. >> hey, still ahead, surveillance capturing two guys on prowl in florida high school decked out in camouflage wearing masks. how their plans were derailed by a box of fruit loops. what's with the suit? oh, i had to go to the bank. if you look legit they give you special treatment. seriously? seriously, yeah. the banker dude set up my checking account so if i make one deposit a month, no monthly maintenance f

joining me now is raoul rayas. it's something that would not effect affect the current crisis ongoing. >> right. it would not affect the kids already here. what i think the administration is doing here is i think they are floating a trial balloon on the idea of establishing a place in these countries starting with honduras where children could apply for refugee status there. currently you're fleeing gang violence. that's not enough to qualify for refugee status. there's almost sure to be push back from conservatives. the estimated cost for two years are about $47 million. there's the fact you're admitted to the united states as a refugee. you are eligible, unlike most eligibles you are eligible for public assistance. those two areas could raise a lot of red flags. for example, among house republicans. >> yeah. i'm curious, if not fleeing gang violence whab is the criteria for refugee status? particularly from the central american countries or is the criteria does it shift from one region to another? >> it can shift

louise and raoul were only toddlers when their parents separated, so each parent took one child with. and then 37 years passed. then they never saw each other. so eventually they learned each one of them learns the other one was a soldier, both of them serving in iraq. so, now all of these years later they're together again, and they say well they got a lot of catching up to do. >> amazing, 37 years later. >> that's parent trap, remember? >> yes, when they met at summer camp. >> you know it as the lindsay lohan vehicle. >> not the girl -- >> haley mills. >> bowl cut. >> yes. >> bowl cut, yes. >>> time mars on. still ahead: stop the beauty madness for goodness sake. new campaign is encouraging self-love. how these advertisement, aim to get people to focus on inner beauty instead of what's on the outside. and my favorite segment of the day is coming up. the transplant games of america are this weekend. coming up: the local competitors gearing up to head to houston, texas, where the games are this year, almost all of our team is outside right now. let's go out and meet them. right now.

on newsmakers this week, we were joined by arizona congressman raoul gri a lot of va and the situation at the southern border. here is a bit of what he had to say? >> the law has become the middle ground for whether or not the president gets what he needs and wants for these agencies in terms of supplemental. i think that's a mistake. and to tie these two issues, the need to -- you know, the supplemental is basically a request to implement the laws that exist. i worry that there is going to be piling on. i think when chairman rogers is through with the request, i think it will be much different than what the president said. i think the focus will be enforcement, issues about letting the national guard and the governors to have authority to put them on the border. you will see a dilution of the 2008 law. it's a huge mistake for many reasons. the law was put in place because there was violence, there was a legacy of violence in the region and now that it has been tied to kind of the boiling point of everything having to do with immigration, i think there is some political expediency to g
