Stain on her record. the president is still going to give a state of the union and frankly i think a lot more people will listen to it now and hear the message about why its so important. >> laura: why is she afraid of the people hearing the president and what hes going to say? congressman biggs, you have an idea. >> we have invited the president to come to arizona. its a border state. its a great backdrop. he is loved in arizona. i dont want it to be a rally. i want it to be a true state of the...

Barrier in el paso. agents tell you that barriers are critical in urban areas. they deter, stop and slow. technology and cameras and drones compliment but not a substitute for a barrier without which they would be overrun. agents are supporting the presidents call for a barrier 250 miles. half that will go into the rio grande valley. they arent happy. theyre working without pay. families are struggling but somebody has to guard the border. >> bill: good reporting in los angeles. >> sandra: presi...

More exaggerated numbers then we saw with us all kicked off. >> harris: exactly, this is what people are saying. >> jessica: im saying its increased because people may have seen the real world effects that tyrus was mentioning. talking about the fbi releasing a statement that they cant do their job. if you watched the video from that of the coast guard that he put out, saying its appalling that -- >> harris: he said its unacceptable people had to go to food banks. >> jessica: it is. and you have...

Not 1950 miles of the entire southern border. >> jessica: absolutely. i think of something interest in going out if you look at the messaging, come up from steny hoyer and nancy pelosi, who are in lockstep and have been allies for a long time. >> harris: a "no," steny hoyer so the barriers work. >> jessica: i mean for their careers. i wonder if theres a good cop bad cop thing going on. >> harris: can ask you a serious question? if theres a good cop bad cop between the house majority leader, sten...

Portman with neil cavuto. he is a moderate guy. he said the president has been bending on this and democrats havent given anything and new barriers are exactly what the democrats want in terms of border security. so if thats true and if you believe that, this comes down to personality, does it not? >> it comes down to personality. i think the democrats are dug in. it is also with semantics. the secure fence act that passed in 2006 that passed schumer, barack obama and hillary clinton voted for i...

Fences. however the one restriction theyre putting on it is they dont want to build a wall. so sir i dont hear you saying the wall is necessary to have border security, do you believe our border can be secured without a wall without the wall that the president is talking about? >> yeah, look, i think were getting bogged down in rhetoric here. were not going to build the great wall of china, great wall of america, massive concrete structure from sea to shining sea. parts of the texas border look ...

Money possibly to repair border wall and no money for new barriers. is the thinking now that basically we have to given him a way out because utters with this thing is going to go on and something will break? >> i would say were going to always put forward some kind of a plan around our own border security package along with immigration reform and this is saying look, this is what we believe based on evidence based practice, its not a wall, a 2000-mile long concrete barrier. frankly, it never wa...
