A state of emergency is now in effect at the border. However, the situation feels unchanged from earlier today. One notable change is the discontinuation of the CBP One app, which was introduced by the Biden administration to create a more humane and orderly process at the border. This decision comes from the Trump administration. Reporting from this location has occurred over four presidential administrations, including the Obama administration.

Republicans are saying that I, President Biden, can close the border single-handedly, but that is incorrect. I do not have the legal authority to do that. I have tried to do what I can via executive action, and have issued certain executive orders, but my hands are tied. This is an intractable problem, and there are no easy solutions. I am limited in what I can do without Congress acting. We need congressional action to fix the broken immigration system. This cannot happen without Congress resourcing this. There's only so much a president can do with his pen and his phone.

We need to surge to the border to hear asylum seekers. The border is closed and secure, but officials are encountering 10,000 migrants a day. It's not a border crisis, but rather imperialism, climate, and trade crises. The president is working on immigration. There have been over 250,000 migrant encounters since December.

The speaker states they will bring back the border security bill that Donald Trump tanked and do more to secure the border. To reduce illegal border crossings, they will take further action to keep the border closed between ports of entry. Those who cross unlawfully will be apprehended, removed, and barred from reentering for 5 years, with repeat violators facing more severe criminal charges. The speaker claims that if someone does not make an asylum request at a legal point of entry and instead crosses unlawfully, they will be barred from receiving asylum. The speaker's goal is to have an orderly and secure system, while understanding that many people are desperate to migrate to the United States.

We led a delegation of 64 House Republicans to the border. The deputy chief of border patrol told us that the situation feels like trying to control an open fire hydrant. He said we need to reduce the flow, and one way to do that is by reinstating Trump's policy of remaining in Mexico for asylum seekers. This alone could reduce the flow by 70%, but President Biden refuses to do it. Making a few other changes would solve the problem, but he won't take action.

Trump says he secured the border. Nobody's coming into our country. Now we have the border totally stopped. We've got the most controlled border we've ever had in the history and in my lifetime in the border patrol, We're going to continue getting there. In Eagle Pass, TX, during the Biden administration, more than 2,000 migrants crossed into The US in a single day. But now, under President Trump's policies, officers encounter just 20 migrants a day here. They were cutting through this barbed wire here and coming across the Rio Grande, sometimes with parents holding their children on their backs as they cross the water. Now it's a total change. What we're seeing and what we're hearing from the border patrol chief and the agents on the ground here is that anyone who crosses now is arrested, prosecuted, and turned back over into Mexico.

To secure our border, we should listen to the experts who successfully did so in the past. For instance, starting with the "Remain in Mexico" policy and stopping fraudulent asylum claims are crucial. It's important to note that around 90% of asylum claims are false, and this abuse of the system needs to be addressed. Additionally, ending catch and release is essential because it allows individuals to avoid court appearances and contributes to the problems in our cities. Differentiating between migrants seeking a better life and the unknown "Godaways" who pay cartels to enter the country is crucial. Surprisingly, the Department of Homeland Security isn't sharing the number of Godaways entering the country, which is a significant concern. This information should be made public as it is a vital statistic.

A family seeking asylum was arrested but later released with a court hearing date, which they attended. This is the first time in US history that asylum seekers must apply in another country. President Trump argues that the catch and release policy is flawed, as dangerous individuals could enter the country. He claims that less than 1% of released individuals return, and only those with low IQ might come back. Vice President Biden disagrees, stating that the president's claims are untrue and encourages fact-checking.

Donald Trump has proposed building migrant detention camps and deploying the military to deport over 11 million undocumented immigrants, potentially the largest deportation in U.S. history. The current estimate of undocumented immigrants may be as high as 25 to 30 million, with many having entered in the last few years. The situation has changed significantly since 2013, with concerns about individuals from countries lacking vetting systems, including potential terrorists and criminals. This is viewed as mass migration or an invasion, requiring a dramatic response. Additionally, there was a bipartisan proposal for increased border enforcement and limited asylum that was opposed due to concerns about asylum officers granting citizenship without judicial oversight.

We need strong borders to protect our country from the influx of drugs and illegal crossings. The current administration's policies have allowed millions of migrants to enter, overwhelming city shelters. Many cities are struggling to cope with this crisis, which is affecting schools and public safety. The border situation is dire, with reports of violence and crime linked to illegal immigration. Former President Trump emphasizes the need for a completed border wall to combat smuggling and crime. He plans to highlight these issues during a campaign event in Arizona, asserting that without strong border control, the country faces significant challenges. The ongoing situation has led to tragic incidents, underscoring the urgency for effective immigration policies.

Julio Rosas of Mace Media asks a former Homeland Security secretary if he regrets facilitating an open border, now that the United States has a secure border under President Trump. Rosas states border crossings are down 95%. Rosas asks if the former secretary regrets allowing Tremder Arawa to gain a foothold in the United States. He questions the secretary about his time in office and facilitating an open border, which Rosas claims was a big issue and one of the reasons President Trump won reelection. Rosas asks if the secretary regrets losing track of thousands of migrant children handed over to HHS. He asks how it feels that mass deportations gained majority support because of the Biden-Harris administration's policies, and claims Tremder Arawa didn't have a foothold in the United States before the secretary's time in office. He asks if the secretary is fine with how they handled the border.

Afghanistan, Egypt, Russia, and China are coming to our border because the federal government has failed to secure it. Governors, like in Texas, are sending National Guard troops to help. The border crisis affects everyone in the country, leading to drugs flooding into communities. This is a national security and humanitarian crisis caused by the administration's failure to act.

I will keep pushing for a complete ban on the border initiative to increase Border Patrol and asylum officers. President Trump's statements are unclear and confusing.

The speaker discusses border security and immigration, stating that those in the U.S. without deportation orders should self-deport to avoid reentry bars. He claims that entering the U.S. illegally is a crime and encourages using the CBP One app or ICE to arrange for self-removal. He asserts the Trump administration aims to bring people into the U.S. legally, preventing exploitation by cartels and allowing Border Patrol to focus on security rather than humanitarian crises. He claims that illegal border crossings lead to increased fentanyl trafficking, sex trafficking, and potential terrorists entering the country. He states the American people voted for stricter immigration enforcement and that the administration is prioritizing public safety and national security threats for removal, using existing laws, including the Alien Enemies Act. He accuses the Biden administration of violating the law by not conducting case-by-case analyses for parolees and creating "shell games" with programs like CHNV and the CBP One app to lower border crossing numbers artificially. He insists the Trump administration achieved a more secure border by detaining those without proper documentation. He commits to following the law and Supreme Court rulings.

Thousands of migrants are waiting in shelters in Northern Mexico, while officials claim the border is closed and secure. The situation at the US southern border is said to be reaching a breaking point, with nearly 10,000 daily encounters on average. However, some argue that this is not a border crisis but rather a result of imperialism, climate issues, and trade problems. Despite differing opinions, the president is praised for his efforts in securing the border and addressing immigration. Since December, there have been over 35,000 migrant encounters and a total of 250,000 encounters so far.

You recently visited the southern border and discussed President Biden's crackdown on asylum seekers, which he implemented in response to increasing border issues. This included an executive order that significantly reduced border crossings. However, the administration's approach in 2021 was different. Upon taking office, Biden and Harris suspended the "Remain in Mexico" policy and halted border wall construction. They initiated a review of Trump-era immigration policies, aiming to reverse controversial measures. Biden signed three executive orders to address these issues, emphasizing the need for time to establish more migrant-friendly systems. They also reviewed the expedited removal process and expanded the refugee admissions program, rescinding restrictions from the previous administration.

The speakers discuss immigration and border security, questioning why the Biden administration doesn't secure the border. One speaker believes Biden has the executive authority to do so. They claim the asylum system is overwhelmed, with a significant backlog and increased immigration compared to 20 years ago, even more than during the Trump administration. They discuss the percentage of cases that result in deportation, suggesting that many asylum seekers are approved, even if their initial entry wasn't legal. Some enter legally on visitor visas and then apply for asylum when their status expires, which one speaker describes as a loophole. They also claim that the Democratic Party platform is influenced by whoever gives the most money to the party, resulting in control by special interests.

President Biden has seen a surge in illegal border crossings, causing strain on southern border states. This has led to challenges in immigration and border security.

The speaker was asked when the border situation became a crisis, and responded that the immigration system has been broken for a long time, even before the Trump administration. The speaker stated the system needs to be fixed and more resources are needed, such as more judges to process cases faster. Congress is the only place that can fix it. The questioner noted that many Trump border policies were rescinded and that the border patrol union supported a bipartisan bill, but also endorsed Donald Trump and called the current administration a failure on border security.

In the last 24 hours, over 10,000 illegal immigrants have been apprehended by border patrol, with the numbers continuing to rise. The border patrol facilities in Tucson, Arizona are currently operating at 200% capacity. Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has not sent any state resources to help with the situation, unlike Governor Greg Abbott of Texas. Governor Hobbs is calling for more federal action and comprehensive immigration reform. Additionally, narcotics are also being smuggled into the country, as seen with the seizure of over 1 million fentanyl pills in Nogales, Arizona. GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis promises to use lethal force against cartel members cutting through the border wall. The situation remains chaotic in Lukeville, the epicenter of the border crisis.

President Biden expressed his willingness to address the border issue and take action if Congress is committed to solving it. He emphasized the need for Congress to pass a bill that would enable quick and effective solutions. The speaker also mentioned the possibility of shutting down the border to resolve the issue promptly.

The US president intentionally opened the border, leading to a catastrophe. This has caused his approval rating to plummet, with 60% of people disapproving. The failure of leadership has put the presidency at risk. The American people are fed up and demand border security. The president has the authority to act without Congress, but he refuses to do so.

Last night, a new record was set with 10,000 people crossing the border illegally. This highlights the ongoing crisis we are facing. It's not just people from South America, but also individuals from 160 other countries. Recently, it was reported that someone with ties to dangerous items was involved in smuggling people across. I have requested a classified briefing from the White House for Congress, but it has not been provided yet.

People are coming to the border, but the majority are being sent back. Efforts are being made to work with Mexico to send more families back. Children are the only ones not being sent back immediately. A system has been set up to verify if they are with a parent or relative. The vice president commits to transparency. The policies of the previous administration did not slow down immigration. Reversing those policies may lead to a new border crisis if not done well. The goal is to improve the situation quickly. Texas morgues are overwhelmed with the bodies of migrants, including children.

Why don’t we just clean up the border? Biden has the power to do that, but the asylum backlog is overwhelming due to increased immigration. Many cases don’t lead to deportation because they’re often approved for asylum. The current administration is influenced by special interests, which complicates immigration policy. There’s a significant number of people applying for asylum at the border, and many enter the U.S. on visitor visas before seeking asylum, exploiting a loophole. While some argue deportation is necessary, it doesn’t align with the Democratic Party platform, which is shaped by those who fund the party. This influence affects how immigration issues are addressed.
