me the numbers just this year just in the rio grande valley, 144 pounds of fentanyl that's come in. 27,550 pounds of meth that they've interdicted just in the rio grande valley just this year. let me run that past you again. 27,550 pounds just in that one area just this year. oklahoma bureau of narcotics was explaining to me if you go back to 2020, we didn't have the drugs moving this way because the border was not open at that time. now the drugs are flooding into our state because the border is open. what grade would you give the department of homeland security? when they are allowing our country to be flooded with drugs, when they are choosing to make illegal immigration more efficient rather than stopping illegal immigration. what grade would you give them? when is this going to change? i have to tell you i believe one of the main rolls of the department of homeland security is to be able to shut down transnational criminal organizations from functioning inside my state. but instead just in the rio grande valley when i talked to them this week, just in that one sector, they estim

having an open border policy is funneling crime in mexico and into the us 100 percent in the rio grande valleyy estimate in the one area of south texas they are making $153 million per week on trafficking people $153 million per week in the biden administration is turning their head empowering the cartels to better systems and more money that does not include the drug running $153 million a week the cartels make more money per week than the area of the rio grande valley and they have the budget for one year so that's a lot of money why does this matter? 100,000 people last year died with a drug overdose in the united states the vast majority are coming in from mexico the mexican cartel are not cooperating with the trainees and the organized crime organization to move them why does this matter those individuals between $4,030,000 many of them cannot pay their full amount so the deal is you will work off your feet once you come into the united states we have 1 million people who have entered into the country with the debt that are scattered across the country is that the recipe for crime? 100 pe

and this just focuses in on the region that we were looking at very specifically in the lower rio grande valley rio bravo and in particular there's a chapter on reynosa and daniel arreola's postgard collection where he's giving images of reynosa, which was a very very popular destination for the us tourists to go to beginning in prohibition and probably before and and it's there in the map and and nearby is mission, texas where this little la lomita chapel is located and it's a historic designation. that's that's there. yeah, come on it it's there for it's a relationship to the the historical developments around this area of the rio grande valley in the previous slide to show that the twin cities along the border all of us who live around here. we know that we have the cities that are very intertwined and all act as if they are one community. they're so economically socially intellectually historically intertwined. yeah. and these are some of the postcards that are shown in the book and they they show border crossings and and the physical bridges as well as the traffic and the in the square and

based reporter to the rio grande valley to write a hit piece about the new republican congresswoman maiarez. saying that she embraces the extremes while shunning moderates. she's a far right latino they say about her. you have to ask yourself what's so extreme? her campaign slogan i suppose because it was "god, family, country." it was meant to appeal to what she calls the traditional values of her majority hispanic district. it's all smearing. these people pretend to care so much about the set of minorities in business of education, society, politics but unless minorities told me far left democrat line, they're going to be smeared. here now to respond to the hit piece, congresswoman maia florez. great to see you tonight. i think you have officially arrived, welcome to the club. people who have been smeared by "the new york times," how does it feel? >> i honestly don't really care about "the new york times," they know nothing about me or my culture. we are all about god, family, and country. that's who we are in south texas, that's what they call far right, it's insane how they treat imm

>> i've been here the last two days, i brought a group of seven senators down to the rio grande valley tell you it is the worst i've ever seen it. he continues to get worse and worse and worse. it's utter chaos. we went out last night on midnight patrol with the border patrol. within minutes we begin encountering illegal aliens. just within minutes we encountered a group of three teenagers, two boys had a girl from honduras and mexico. they turn themselves into the agents we were with. a few minutes after that we saw a group of about a dozen, mostly women and children. it included 27-year-old girls, each of whom was a unaccompanied minor. two 7-year-old girls who were absolutely beautiful and precious, with long pigtails. you and i are both fathers. imagine handing a 7-year-old child over to vicious human traffickers. this is happening over and over and over again. and these kids are being horribly treated. the same spot we where we saw a patch of grass just by the edge of the river where days earlier, two little girls age 5 and 6 had been violently raped by the drug cartels. this huma

there's seven republican senators here in the rio grande valley visiting the border.them last night. this was texas senator ted cruz, ron johnson, wyoming's john barrasso, james langford and john hoeven. they met in la jolla. didn't take long to see small groups crossing illegally and several ununaccompanieded minors. they saw two 7-year-old girls. no parents or guardians with them. they had paperwork with contact info of family in the united states already. the union showed some of these senators all the human smuggling cartel wrist bands littering the grounds. i had a chance to take to joni ernst. i asked her how she responds to the claims that the border is closed. here's what she had to say. >> i don't see how you can be here and say that the border is closed. they have control of the border. our border patrol agents are overtaxed. they are overworked. they're disheartened by the attitude of the administration. take a look at this photo. also yesterday here in the rio grande valley border patrol encountering a group of 288 migrants in stark county who crossed ille

based reporter to the rio grande valley to write a hit piece about the new republican congresswoman miralores, saying that she embraces the extreme while shunning moderates. she's a far right latina, they said about her . so you have to ask yourself what's so extreme? the new york times is so upsethe about her campaign slogan, i supposer s because it was god family. country was meant to appeal to what she calls the traditional values of her majority hispanic district in the border city of brownsville. >> of course, it's all sneering, right, because these people pretend to care so much about the advancement of minorities and business education and society politics. but unless minorities tow the far left democrat line, what's going to happen is they're going to be smeared just like my next guest here now to respond to the texas congresswoman, mayra flores. congressman, great to see you. tonight. >> i think you've officially arrived. welcome to the club. people have been smeared by the "new york times". got to give you a big hand . how doeses honestly, i honestly don't really care about the

i am an american graduate student here at the university of texas, rio grande valley a and i wholeheartedly believe that mr. donald trump will makel america great again. i was born in tijuana, mexico.ua i amna voting for donald trump o be the next president of the united states. >> for their part, democrats incorrectly assume that the more their party moved toward big government socialismy ,the more minorities thator attract talk about a huge miscalculation. now more from this axiosth analysis. the data show that democrats are statistically tied h with republicans among hispanics on the generic congressional ballotis. according to the new york timesi sienna college poll out this week, democrats held a forty seven point edge with hispanics during the twenty eighteen midterms. that is a staggering collapse. we already know biden's approval with hispanics today is in the toilet. only 32 percent now approve of his job performance, according to a recent "new york times" sienna j college poll. so how does this all translate in the november midterms? well, democrats hopes for retaining power rest

i'll be traveling with some colleagues to the rio grande valley this afternoon. i looked at the weather forecast for today and tomorrow. it will be 104 degrees in the rio grande valley. and no, it will not be a dry heat. demand on our electricity is real because people cannot live without air-conditioning and climate control, but in order to run your air-conditioning you're going to have to pay 14% more for that electricity this year as opposed to last year. propane used at summer barbecues costs 26% more. and gasoline prices, they're about -- there are about 280 million cars on the road today that run using gasoline. the price has jumped 60% since last year. if people want to go on a vacation, they just commute to work, they want to take their kids to summer camp, they've got to pay 60% more for gas leeb than they did last -- for gasoline than last year. for the first time, the national average is a price that has exceeded $5 a gallon. over the last few weeks, thankfully, prices have fallen slightly, and i emphasize the word slightly, but there's no reason to cel

mcallen is the border patrol's rio grande valley sector, it's called, and one of the busiest portions of the u.s.-mexico bored wher it comes to illegal migration. for example, between october and may, rio grande valley sector agents logged more than 333,000 border crossings, more than any of the other 20 border control sectors. during the visit, our colleagues were able to see and learn what, frankly, as texas senator, senator cruz and i have learned long ago about the traumatic heart wrenching consequences of this unabated crisis. groups of migrants with todd levers -- toddlers who are lying asleep on the dirt road, practically ill from the heat and exhaustion. by the way, the temperature is routinely in excease of a hundred degrees this time of year. one mother and her 7-year-old child, the mom in teerps and heart broken having left her 10-year-old -- another 10-year-old child behind in guatemala was encountered. unaccompanied children of 7 years of age with nothing more than the clothes on their back, a birth certificate, and a family -- and family contact information on a piece of

later this week i will be traveling back home to the rio grande valley along with a number of my republican colleagues so that they too can learn from the true experts about the border crisis. senator cruz and i are leading a visit to the rio grande valley to receive an update on the current state of circumstances at the border. i know with everything happening here in washington, d.c., and around the country, it's easy to lose sight of what's happening on the border, the humanitarian crisis that's occurring at the border. so i want to remind anybody who's listening about what we've seen over the last two years during -- well, actually it's the first year and a half of the biden administration. for a year and a half now border communities have been overwhelmed by the sheer number, the volume of migrants crossing the border. since president biden took office, the border patrol has encountered nearly three million, three million people along the southwest border. that's almost an incomprehensible figure, and it's far from the normal situation. let me provide a little historical context. at th

raul dreamed the american dream from san juan, texas in the lower rio grande valley.rved with honor in the u.s. air force and then turned a small civil rights route into one of the most important -- civil rights group into one of the most important ones. in over 30 years as chief counsel for la raza, raul was in undaunted leader, challenging the powerful on behalf of the powerless. born in brownsville, texas, julieta garcia became a professor at a local community college. i know i am biased jill is a community -- biased since jill is a committed to college professor, but community college professors are the best. [applause] it isn't what she or jill do, it is who they are. it is to julieta is. she transformed her college at the university of texas in brownsville where she became the first hispanic woman to serve as a college president in american history.

and we're out there in the rio grande valley working with them and you've been here numerous time andseen this here. and the agents deserve the support and leadership from the federal government to continue doing their jobs. just falsely accused and they deserve, they deserve an apology from the federal government and leadership as well. griff: lt, the state of texas not sitting by idly in addressing this unprecedented crisis. governor abbott, as bill mentioned at the end of his report, you'll now take migrants back to ports of entry, as i understand it. explain what this is and what it means. >> well, griff, this is just another, you know, example of the state of texas and governor greg abbott taking unprecedented action to help secure the border. we have taken on the border to secure the border because the federal government fails to do so and another executive order that the governor initiated is now to actually we're going to bus them to the ports of entry, the nearest ports of entry and release them to u.s. border patrol. unfortunately, we don't have the organizational authority

you're looking live at eagle pass, texas from our fox drone shot there of the rio grande valley. welcome to fox news live, i'm griff jenkins. jacqui: i'm jacqui hinrich. >> they're battling brutal summer heat and steve has the latest for us, hey, steve. >> 104 degrees yesterday, it's supposed to be 100 all week and that hasn't slowed down the stream of mar grants crossing illegally. we've seen small groups here in the morning and several pregnant women making that crossing. in recent days, large groups as well, sometimes 300 strong crossing the river together. many of the towns along the border region, overwhelmed by the numbers and it's been the recent policy of text's governor abbott to bus some migrants to northern cities. that's drawn the outrage of a number of mayors, including the mayor of washington d.c. and new york city. >> not only the federal government, but we need some of those states that have been giving people one-way tickets, we need them to understand that, this must be a partnership in this country, new york is going to do its share, but we have been overburden

also in the rio grande valley if we police photos up, they're getting hammered with these large groupsols reporting the income to three large groups totaling more than 400 people just in stark county pair that includes more than 50 unaccompanied minors. back at your life bringing it back here to the del rio sector, border patrol here also reporting just over the holiday weekend alone there were more than 1,000 confirmed getaways. people they see had cameras, are never able to catch. sending it back to you. >> julie: thank you very much. ♪ ♪ >> people of texas are experiencing innovation. >> i'm here to let you know that the administration's real. >> by the administration want to a thing about. >> we are asking you to step up and do more than you have. >> several texas border counties invoking the constitution declaring the migrant surge as an invasion. that leaves 6,000 counties are declared in a considering it. good morning to you. so you and the clip there, make a case about this invasion. >> good morning, bill, great to hear from allusion down there but the facts on the border i was

lines was democrats support cratering in three majority hispanic and deeply districts along the rio grande valley. they weren't alone. this dramatic shift also happened in maverick county texas. there was a 40 for 7% shift in votes towards trump between 2016 and 2020. maverick county is where we find savanah hernandez who joins us tonight from eagle pass. savannah, that's with his huge mass of humanity is crossing the border illegally. basically being waved into the united states. the g.o.p. foolishly, the old guard believes that a softer approach to the border would draw in hispanic voters but you're seeing the opposite on the ground. tell us about it. >> 100%, laura. locals are extremely upset at what they are seeing. today we saw the influx of illegal immigrants making their way to the southern border. a smaller group of venezuelans had they broke off from a group of 15,000 that are making their way to the southern border so these hispanic communities here that have their family here feeling the impact of job -- joe biden's open border policie. i was talking to a mother telling me that illegal

no reason the rio grande valley should have all of the benefit of diversity.tor davis hanson has watched all of this happen. he is the senior at the hoover institution and joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on paired so you see this massive disconnect where you have this party that is openly and very aggressively white and the democratic party, but its leaders including leaders of color like the obama's live in all white neighborhoods, how long can that continue i wonder? >> i don't think it is sustainable. what is new about the border, tucker is it does not exist. they blew it up. there is no such thing as federal law, it is an insurrection to use that act. you ask yourself why are 3 million people going to come in the first two years of the biden administration? and the answer is it is the manifestation of this bicoastal elite to that is never subject to the consequences of their own ideology. they want vaccination, anybody that is not vaxxed in the military come out, anybody in the federal workforce, out. 3 million people untested, unvaccinated, no

biden than any time in my 35 year career. 700 and now at 53 to that and two more today in the rio grande valleyer 100,000 americans have died from drugs coming across the border. 95% of fentanyl comes across the border. they are overstretched and 70%. fentanyl is coming across the border. joe biden has made cartels richer than they have ever been. people are dying because of his policies. they are not humane. i worked with president trump closely. when you add illegal immigration down 89%. it was at a 40 year low. how many women are being? how many children are dying? how many u.s. citizens? his policies saved lives. >> that's what we are getting back to. when you see what is going on, the nature of the soul crushing horror that these people are put through as we see in every democratic city. and clearly now at the border. what do you think has been key when it comes to what the democrats have done as this is an unforced error reversing everything president trump did which saved lives across the board? >> they have been obsessed with unpacking what president trumpeted. president trump's policy

it is no longer the rio grande valley. it is eagle pass where we are. take a look at this video we shot here yesterday in eagle pass. this was one of many massive groups we have seen crossing all at once. this group in particular was about 200 people in total crossing over during these blistering hot temperatures. in this exact same spot, this is a private ranch, every day since we got here last week, we've seen enormous groups like this crossing like this. the biggest one we saw was on wednesday, about 540 people in total. as you can imagine, this is a huge drain on border patrol resources. the del rio sector has limited infrastructure, smaller infrastructure, compared the other sectors. when these big groups cross, it is a huge drain on their resources. take a look at this ground video we shot of this large group as well. remember, this border crisis is not seasonal, despite what the white house has claimed. here we are in july. the temperatures are pushing nearly 110 degrees every day. these migrants continue showing up in astronomical numbers here i

the del rio sector has become the epicenter of this border crisis and it's no longer the rio grande valleypass are getting these massive single groups almost daily here. just over the fourth of july holiday weekend there were nearly 5,000 illegal crossings. they were 1-800-50 just on the fourth of july alone. so this is more of the same right here, these massive groups showing up every single day, day in and day out, and border patrol here overwhelmed. >> harris: no doubt you're keeping keeping up with the news that is at backing today. that's pushing arizona and that is a declaration of an invasion on our southern border so that resources can be attracted now to deal with the scenes you're showing us now. which is overwhelming border patrol, the shares can go down to help. we simply just don't have enough. what is the talk among the border agents that you are hearing? i can't imagine what the word invasion is being thrown around, that people aren't sensitive to the fact that could be a game change down here. >> i can tell you border patrol morale is at rock bottom. agents are processing i

jessica cisneros, not ramos down in the rio grand valley who lost that very closely contested primaryey coming from is the other question, right? i mean, you've got huge -- i mean, there's a huge check being written. >> yes. >> some of it gets disclosed later on, but my sense is that ironically enough in these races where they run ads saying so and so iswh not a real democrat, th super pac will run an ad. the money will come from people themselves who are not democrats. >> some of thee biggest donors are republicans. in fact, they lead republican institutions. the head of the manhattan institute which is a very prominent kind of right-leaning think tank which basically supports ale very conservative agenda gave a aipac super pac $ million, for instance, so, right. aipac really does not care whether democrats or republicans win. they simply want people who will support israel unconditionally to win, but those people by and large are also less likely to take a progressive stance on other issues, because if you don't basically believe in the idea of equality under the law for palestinian

any time in my 30 year career, seven now and fifty three to that and two more today down the rio grande valley, more migrants have died. over one hundred thousand americans have died. drugs have come across t that border. dea says 95% in fact, not comes across southwest border because the border patrol's overstretched 70% of them off i the mine. fentanyl is coming across the border. joe biden has made the cartels richer than they've ever been. people are dying because his policies are not humane. and i a had this . people want to come in him and i work with president trump very closely. whenely. you have illegal immigration down eighty three to 90%, when you have illegal 8 immigration t a 40 year low, how many women are being? en how many children are dying? how weny measure how many u.s. citizens are drug overdoses. >> his policies save lives well represented. and that's what we're getting back to here. you seeee what's goinge on , the nature of the soul crushing horror that these people are put through as we see in every democrat city and clearly now here also at the border, has been key t w
