Page 3 - Border Security Agents News Today

Tomorrow. vice president mike pence, you on the ground, and some others. can you tell me what is forecast for that visit? >> harris, we hope to get to a lot of facilities, talk with the border security agents, perhaps speak with some of the detainees to really get a finger on the pulse of whats going on down there. theres no question that we have challenges down there. if we have multiples of what we expected to have crossing the border illegally. lindsey graham, the chair of the judiciary commi...

I think the president has to use every device at his disposal. we have 40% of the border security agents today not doing the jobs they were sworn to do. theyre doing daycare, driving buses, trying to figure out how to handle the burgeoning population we have them. 80% are not from mexico and 80% who apply for asylum are deemed not to have a valid claim. we can solve it by stemming the tide and mexico is a very, very part of doing that. >> here is the mexican ambassador to the u.s. pointed commen...

Something has to be done. the plan that i put forth will put money towards more border security agents, more lawyers. it wasnt just about a wall. but i think he was concerned about these federal workers not getting paid. you saw three bills motivated, even of the shutdown continued, get these federal workers. democrats want the drama of trump, youve got to cave otherwise all of this is on your back. i think he knows that and i think is going to be forced into declaring a national emergency and t...

The past have voted for a wall. i think some might come around to that. i dont know that trump will get all of the money he wants, but i think he will get something. at the very least. and i think there will be pressure coming from democrats on nancy pelosi to do that. the thing here for the president though, he clearly believes that the border security was his ticket in 2016 and that it will be his ticket to re-election. the question is whether there are diminishing returns here for the preside...

Businesses are down. some businesses are offering discounts. some are offering ious if they can. we are doing what we can to help our community. but we also have to survive as a business, as well. >> this morning, we got news that five former heads of dhs which of course oversees coast guard have said this is unconscionable. you have to fund this. can you tell me a little about the conversations you have had with your husband who is a coast guard pilot just about the concerns you guys have about...

>> absolutely. when the president brought out the border security agents, i thought that was brilliant and i wish he had done it sooner because the left doesnt want to hear anything out of donald trumps mouth. bringing on the experts was very smart. when you hear where they feel there needs to be a wall or better technology or more agents how do you ignore that? democrats by ignoring that and going to the general public and lying to them in the camera to their faces is quite appalling. they are ...

Post. >> im inside two minutes, well be able to hear exactly what the president said. >> there was also a letter sent to pelosi by 30 house democrats saying we should be talking about border security money. that is her often ramp, okay? >> i had a ton of democrats get nervous in the last two weeks saying whoa whoa whoa, this looks like democrats dont want border security. there has been some concern. >> and the polling says that while a minority sports the wall, the number for increasing the num...

>> well, we had certainly very challenging endeavors to hand until the 115th congress and the president was very reluctant to sign an appropriations bill in 2018, january, 2018, without the kind of enhanced physical barrier border security that border security agents and law enforcement professionals had stated they certainly needed. what the president moved forward with that in good faith that as we moved into the 116th congress he would receive the requested funding for enhanced physical barri...
