after mayor declared an emergency with governor abbott sending the national guard out there and texas it actually stop the bleeding were slowed the bleeding down. the number went way down. that took the national guard having to install barbed wire there to get a control on the situation. so something needed to be done. if you want to call it drastic, so be it. but something needed to be done. and since all of that, the numbers have gone down. speak to the situation is surprising to me because in arizona, they were using containers to secure the border. the biden administration made them move the containers but you see what is going on in el paso and the administration hasn't said anything about that. are you surprised by that? >> i am surprised, but it just tells me it is a different situation in el paso than what we saw in arizona. i believe those containers are on federal property. so i think we are seeing the difference in el paso. believe me if the federal government or the white house would step in and say you couldn't do that, they would avert that. >> carley: talking about the
