bill: he is one of nearly 40 on the watch list arrested at the border so far this year. fiscal year 2023 which started in october, okay? your october, november, december, january, we re already at that number. the problem is growing under president biden. republicans today will begin the process trying to hold him accountable. dana: one hour from now house republicans hold the first hearing on the border crisis. the focus will be on smuggling and the influx of deadly fentanyl. bill: arizona sheriff mark dannels says the situation is untenable. i m coming to d.c. to address the reality of what s going on in our community, talk about the destruction and disarray and crisis on our border. there is no political spin. this is reality coming at them this morning. i appreciate chairman jordan bringing this committee together to address this today and have me here. i m looking forward to it. dana: former border patrol chief rodney scott is here in reaction. let s begin with
14,000 pounds in 2022 and just through december this is fiscal year from october to now, almost 10,000 pounds. we re on track to possibly quadruple that number. what do you think the committee will talk about today? i hope again they talk about what we don t know. what is getting away. those seizures are amazing numbers, that s the known. i was talking to somebody in the border patrol this week and they said an entire station s enforcement was shut down. that station is now processing immigration cases. when they are normally on the highway running checkpoints. they had almost a seizure of narcotics every day. for the last couple of months they ve been putting 0s on the board because they haven t been allowed to leave the station. my worry is the bigger the loads are, that means the cartel is more confident that those loads will get away. we need to be talking about that. clearly you see the deaths across america.
