Policies is now impacting the people of chicago in a very dramatic way. We still have Public Safety to address, still have the unhoused to address, still have a budget i have to address and i am doing all of that with three black children on the west side city of chicago. I am going to the border as soon as possible. Chicagos mayor sounding the alarm about the migrant crisis overwhelming that city. The governor of texas is sending 22 busloads of migrants every day up from the Southern Border as Southern Border struggles with a continuing huge surge and this is the result. Thousands of migrants, including families with small children, have been living and sleeping on the street in chicago. Chicago is not alone in this. The number of buses of migrants arriving in New York City has tripled, up to 600 migrants arriving here every day. New york citys mayor is on the ground in mexico to see the problem firsthand. Migrants defying Security Rushing the border near el paso. Now the Biden Administration is giving the green light to build a new border wall to deal with the crisis. The department of Homeland Securitys secretary says there is a, quote, acute and immediate need. Priscilla alvarez is live at the white house. This move by the Biden Administration runs counter to what they said they wanted do during the campaign. Why are they doing it here . Reporter they have 2019 funds that were appropriated for this exact purpose, building Additional Border barriers, and they are going to focus the funds on an area that has received a lot of traffic of migrants. Now, according to the numbers and federal data, this area, the Rio Grande Valley sector south texas, has seen 300,000 encounters since last october and august. Clearly, an area of concern for Administration Officials as they look to set up this Border Barrier. Now, last month customs and Border Patrol sought input from the community. This would be up to 20 meals of Border Barrier and what include a number of fixtures, for example, lights, cameras, and gates as well as access roads. To do it and to do it in an expedited manner they are waiving certain laws, including the clean air act, Safe Drinking Water act, the endangered species act. They are sure to come under criticism by democrats for making this move. In fact, texas Representative Henry Cuellar said they shouldnt be taking a 14th century solution to a 21st century problem. The Officials Say when they see Border Security and te talk about Border Barriers would want to focus on border technology. The funds have been appropriated for these physical barriers. Look, the white house is acutely aware this is an area of concern for them, there has been an uptick in border crossings, they are facing criticism from cities across the country, including democratic allies. This is an area they are focusing on for this wall. Also, Secretary Of State antony blinken, Homeland Security secr secretary mayorkas are there for talks and you know that will come up. Thank you. This morning New York City mayor eric adams in mexico for what he calls a Factfinding Mission in an effort to address the migrant crisis at the source as the number of migrants arriving in the city has surged to 600 a day. This comes after Texas Governor greg abbott ramped up his controversial Migrant Busing Program sending more and more migrants to cities like chicago and new york. Our Polo Sandoval live outside of the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. This a huge area of focus where a lot of migrants have been. I would ask, is this the Breaking Point for the city . The mayor of new york said weeks ago that it already was then. Reporter we heard it before, right . Here is a figure thats quite telling. New york city has been grappling with this migrant crisis a year and a half now, yet it was last week, according to the city yesterday, the city saw one of its highest number of Asylum Seekers arrive here in the big apple, some 3,700 arrived here just last week alone. All of them now added to the nearly 63,000 Asylum Seekers that are still in the citys care. As you mentioned, many of them having to make their first stop at the Roosevelt Hotel in manhattan where they assess their situation before they are placed in the shelter system. The daily arrivals has grown from about 400 to 600, according to the last update, and the Buses Chartered by Texas Governor greg abbott seem to be a larger factor with the number of buses arriving to the busy and loud streets of New York City. The city saw little bit of relief when they began to enforce this controversial 60day notice to. So aadult Asylum Seekers who have been in the system for quite some time. When you have a large number of migrants coming into the city, its difficult to see any fruits of their labor. Obviously, this coming as mayor eric adams wakes up in mexico city this morning. The first stop in his multistop what he is describing as a fact finding trip to mexico as part of it, plans to make a stop in South America potentially approaching that treacherous derien gap which we heard about. They make their way into chicago, washington, d. C. , of course here to the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. Thank you for the reporting. Lets bring in david, jessica. Guys, thanks for being here. Jessica, david pointed this out last hour. Its a critical point to recognize here. This has been hotbutton political issue. You have democratic mayors, democratic governors, state and local democrats reaching out to the Biden Administration saying we need help here. What do you think the administration will end up having to do here from a Policy Perspective . Yeah. It seems like the administration is willing to take efforts to slow the flow of immigration of the country, slow of migrants into the country. I think from a Policy Perspective they are going to have to do that. They also have to contend with the fact that there are elements of the party that really want a compassionate response to this crisis and may have a different response than mayor adams sqwho has said things many find insensitive. They are going to have to, if they dont want to alienate democrats on either side of the issue, find a compassionate way to deal with this issue. David, is this good for the Biden Administration politically or bad for them or kind of both . Doesnt it junt cut the critics, republicans who say they are doing nothing but at the same time is going to anger some democrats . Yeah, i mean, its complex for them and so there is opportunity here for them politically to start looking a little tougher on the border, but as jessica was saying, had has to be a bproposition for them. This is not either or, we are just going to do Border Security and not focus on what we do with the migrants already here in this country and how we are treating them. It has to be from the administrations perspective for their political purposes a comprehensive kind of solution that we were saying last hour, of course. There is no comprehensive legislative solution. Thats not available here to resolve this in this way. As the Biden Administration is trying to piece together the acute moment they are experiencing on the border, as well as this overrun of what is a humanitarian crisis in the cities that are on their friendlier political turf, they are going to have to thread the needle. Comprehensive Immigration Reform is available should there be the will sorry. I am not correcting you, david. I am just reminding, like, lawmakers, like, they could do it. Thats all. No. You are both right. I think the reality is though, thats the only thing that people could point it as an actual solution here. To davids point, its a bunch of one offs dealing with it. I want to shift over. We were talking to Fred Pleitgen earlier who is on the ground in ukraine and there is a real i am not sure everybody grasped the Inflection Point for the western coalition that is currently underway. Its not just because of what is happening on capitol hill, but capitol hill has a big part of that. Take a listen to what jim jordan, a leading candidate to be the next speaker, said to our colleague manu raju. At some point we are going to have to deal with this Appropriation Process in the right way. We will try to do this we are down to 41 days. The most pressing issue on americans mind is not ukraine. Its the border situation and crime on the streets. The question manu asked was about additional funding for ukraine which jordan seemed to kind of dismiss to some degree. David, is there a pathway right now on capitol hill given how paralyzed the house is . Hfrmts i wouldnt rule out there is some pathway for additional funding given that you do have bipartisan majorities in the house and senate that are in favor of it. Are thats a place to start where you see a path. But you just noted the problem. The republicans are now in this chaotic moment of looking for a new speaker and ukraine aid is one of those litmus tests where the base is not at all interested. By the way, we have seen in our polling overall over time the American People broadly are getting less interested in supporting this war financially. You heard President Biden yesterday, phil, preview he is going to be giving big speech on. This you saw him gather on the phone with the western leaders this week. This is a clear moment and the Leadership Vacuum on the republican side in the house definitely further complicates this moment, which is why i think you are going to see the president step up his appeal to the nation to stay in this and try to lay out for the country while its diminishing in its thinking about supporting this, why they need to stay the course here. There are all these urgent issues converging at once with such limited time. So ukraine funding, keeping the government open, what are we, 41 days away from a shutdown . The crisis at the border that the Biden Administration is now taking really interesting sort of sweeping action on. All these things happening at once. Thats The Big Picture we are looking at here. And no speaker. Yeah. I mean, its always an unprecedented time in this country in the last, ten years. Phil and i decided i decided we needed a program, call unprecedented. I like it. Every day. There is something that happens that is unprecedented. It falls feels that way. It is that way, unfortunately. Yeah, i mean, you are seeing all these issues come together. Certainly and jim jordan says americans we dont care about ukraine. Is he right its not the most pressing issue . Probably. Its not a majority. I agree its not the most pressing issue between a Government Shutdown and supporting aid in ukraine, most americans would prefer not to shut down the government. It doesnt have to be that way. We have a political system that pitted all these different issues against each other. It feels chaotic where particularly us in the news are trying to figure out what to focus on. David, to that point, the final point, you have often pointed out the sense of people feel this, right . They have been feeling it since they came out of the pandemic. Its been an issue the Biden Administration tried to figure out how to address. Two plus years in office politically and polling what is it and how do you address it. Is that something that is going to carry into 2024 . How do you is see this playing out . This feeling you are talking about in the country of everything being off course . Kind of bla. Yeah. Remember, the 2020 election was an election in the midst of the paddleboard. This is going to be the First National president ial election postpandemic and as we know, postpandemic is a very different meaning for very different folks but has created this sense of concern and angst and not settled into a new normal fully yet for the American People. And that no doubt is going to have reverberations from now through next november. Something we definitely have to keep watching. Thank you, guys, very much.

In this particular case, is that problematic . Is that rare . He shows up and says my wife knows the driver of this car and she asked me to take her friend up so that she would have someone there. There is nothing on the tape that indicates he asked for anything else like any special consideration, can you give her a break . What he does ask is, and this is a very wall tailored coptocop question, he asked if the Prosecutors Office is going to be involved in new jersey and in that county. The Prosecutors Office handles fatal accidents. What he is saying is, is that guy make it . Is that guy dead . Is the Prosecutors Office going to
