People want to come in. >> sean: here is the truth we all need to know. this is much more than politics. it is all about politics. it is also a matter of national security. the wall is just not some hallowed campaign tactic. it is something that our own border patrol agents are calling for, that they desperately say they want and need. you dont have to take my word for it. take a step back and listen to them. they are on the front lines. >> ive been a border patrol agent for 21 years. i can pers...

New house speaker nancy pelosi, and senator chuck schumer. you also saw senator dick durbin off to the side there, as well, coming out of the white house moments ago after meeting with the president. it certainly didnt sound like there was any progress made in all of this on border security. now i want to bring in hector garza, who is border patrol agent and vice president of the national border patrol council. hector, great to see you today. you were standing behind the president yesterday as h...

From twitter to cabinet meetings and all over the white house, the president continue selling his case for more funding for a wall on the southern border. yesterday it was the briefing room, alongside numbers of the national border patrol council. they all pushed for wall funding. the president says other forms of border security work well, although only in tandem with a wall. >> call it what you will, but without a while you cannot have border security. it wont work. having drones and various o...

Right now. it has >> bill: i dont know if you are aware of his comments, he seemed to break. congress needs to take further action but that work should be done when the government is fully open. let democrats explain why they no longer support border security. take that last part, go ahead and pass the bills that are on the table. do they make it a black-and-white issue? >> unfortunate, this is a pretty black-and-white issue and what we are talking about is if we took up the house bill, we would...

Territory. at every stage our group was polite, compliant, invested in deescalating any conflict, but eventually without explanation, border agents brought out metal barriers and corralled us right on top of the international borderline. its a bit chilling when you read it. im curious as a member of congress why didnt you just leave, or what have you taken away from this that shapes your debate on this? >> you know, one of the things that i noticed is just a lot of the desperation of these famil...

>> no, youre right, and democrats have always supported strong border security, and that requires a combination of border secure agents, it requires technology. it requires barriers, call them what you want. >> you do admit some barriers need to be there. >> theyve been there for years, many of them, some of them can be strengthened. the point is the president keeps misleading the country into thinking we can somehow stop all the problems of the border by building a 2,000 mile concrete wall. tha...

Very publicly. will we hear from these leaders? we expect that theres a likelihood that at least democrats will want to speak out after the meeting, have a chance to give us their first take. will the president speak out? we saw him do that yesterday where he came to the briefing room here, the first time he had ever used the podium thats behind me. well see what the president wants to do in terms of sort of shaping the nar trative of this day. is there a chance for a breakthrough? will they wan...

Were there. we dont know the nature of her injuries. thats private information for the family. we have been told they expect her to fully recover and our first concerns are for her. we will be looking in the future to make sure we change that particular experience of the physical barriers to make sure no one can slip through those bars again. >> this is a hands on experience, right, where visitors to the zoo are able to pet the rhinos or touch them or what? >> correct. so what happens is every d...
