us citizens or our children of us citizen. now, what do protections actually mean? it means that these immigrants are not going to be deported. it means that they are going to have an eventual pathway to citizenship. and it also means that they are going to be able to legally work in the united states as they wait for their status to work their way through the system. one important piece of fine print is that they must have been in the who us for ten years as of june 17 of 2024. that of course is yesterday, prior to this announcement coming out today. and it really does amount to the most expansive up protections for immigrants via executive action in years and years. and we saw the biden campaign saying that all of this really boils down to the fact this is according to the campaign manager that families belong together. it's that simple. they said in a statement, it's why president biden's actions today are so important, and it's also a powerful stark reminder of donald trump's unforgivable legacy of ripping crying children away from their parents when he put in place his fans family separation policy. now, at this east room event here at the white house where the president is expected to lay out these details. we do expect a bit of a celebratory mood and we of course know that that is in part because politics is it's really heavily at play here on an issue that has been a really big up political vulnerability for president biden with republicans and critics continually hitting him for not doing enough to get the situation you're not the border in a good place and also the just addressing more broadly the issue of immigration and what to do about immigrants who are here illegally and today's announcement is also just quite the contrast from the announcement that he made earlier in the week that really put in severe restrictions on asylum seeker. so you put the two next to each other and you certainly see president biden up playing a bit of a juggling act on an issue do that again, has been such a challenging one for him and democrats mj lee live for us from the white house. >> thanks so much. i'm jay briana. >> let's talk about this more now. this executive action by president biden with congressman adriano so sbi, he's a democrat who represents parts of new york city. it's also the first former undocumented immigrant to serve in congress. thank you for coming into the studio. we appreciate it how much of this executive action today is a concession to progressives who were very dismayed with biden's executive order. executive action two weeks ago that severely limited asylum i don't think is a concession, i think is a balanced common sense approach to immigration issues that can i just be about border enforcement? he already addressed that, but it also has to provide some help to some people that have a meritorious argument to be made. >> why they should stay here. and i think this action balances that out in a real smart way. >> if it balances, it, does it make the other executive action makes more sense to you? >> well it says that border protection is important but that the spouses of us citizens and their children that have been here for over ten years also deserve to work and to regular, regularize their status so this is important that, that it is balanced in its approach that is common sense, that is practical and that the american people see it for what it is. a smart way to move forward the aclu is suing the biden administration over that executive action. >> that will limit asylum once the average number of entries hit a certain threshold. do you support that lawsuit? >> i haven't seen the details of the lawsuit, but there will be lawsuits from both sides and i think the president has moved forward because congress has enacted and in light of that, i think he has shown leadership to move forward and address what seems to be more and more an important issue to the american public you haven't that lawsuits not brand new. >> i just want to be clear. and there was a similar lawsuit with the trump administration because former president trump used similar authority and the congressional hispanic caucus supported that lawsuit against the trump administration. why not? >> then support the aclu's lawsuit? >> i'm trying to understand the balance of that between the biden administration in the tree that i have to see the details the lawsuit i haven't seen that. and so i'll cross that bridge when i get there. i think that i am very happy that the president is taking this action today to help dreamers, daca recipients that have been here since they were little kids. and there have been educated by our universities. why not give them the opportunity also to get a job and so this is very smart, very practical. the american people on understand this and i think this is the first step forward that will be greater discussions about other other factors within the immigration debate. >> the lawsuit targets the authority that the president is using, which is the same section 212f in the 1952 immigration and nationality act, which is what trump used are you giving biden a pass on that when you didn't know? no. i mean, i think that there's some level of border security that should occurred. i don't know if that executive action maybe went too far for me. obviously not for everybody. but i'm happy with what's happening today and i think just to do enforcement or just to do what we're doing today alone is not an answer to the vast majority of the american people that are concerned about this what do you say to senate republicans like john foun who are worried that this new policy will create, pull factors that it will incentivize more people to come. oh, no, that's not true. i think that people come because of different reasons. some become because of violence, because imam is being threatened by a gang to recruit her 13-year-old. some of them come because of food security after a drought or an environmental crisis. they come for different reasons. i don't think that necessarily these actions will generate a greater numbers at the border. in fact, amnesty was really implemented by ronald reagan. that was the full amnesty program. there and i think the senator, now the senator's look at ronald reagan as an american hero. so he was the one that implemented amnesty. these these are very important part of the broader immigration, immigration debate that has tps. he has family reunification. it has dreamer and dhaka recipients. it has are also farmworkers. the immigration debate is very broad. it's complicated, and these are very specific items within that broader debate that are being addressed. >> are you forgiving biden, the executive action on asylum because of this one i act i ask just because i believe in a silent, but i asked just be because there does not seem to be at all close to the same level of heat for him that there was a very upset. >> and i am a strong supporter of the concept of asylum. if fundamental part of the american experience for someone he is being persecuted by, by, by dictatorship to come to our border or to come to our ports and knock on the door and say, i don't want to be killed by that government. can you let me in? >> that's a fundamental piece of america, right? >> and i think that we, as a democracy, must always provide asylum for ukrainians. four people fleeing communist regimes for people fleeing violence in a war torn country or in a country, gripped by gang violence. >> this is so important to the american experience. >> i'm not willing to sell that out. absolutely not. not anything that has to do with immigration because i'm an image good but i think that today's action is a good one. it's one that makes us look forward. and i think that biden should be commended for congressman. thank you so much for joining us. >> we really appreciate it. >> horus extreme heat is pulling 65 million americans at risk. that's about a fifth of the entire population, right now, people in at least 19 states across the midwest and northeast are under heat alerts as millions more face temperatures topping 90 degrees this week meantime, 29 large active wildfires are raging across the united states among them, a pair of fires burning in new mexico going through tribal lands. and forcing thousands to evacuate and north of los angeles, crews continue breathing dangerous conditions as they race to put out the post fire cnn meteorologist chad myers joins us now. so chad, what's the deal with the wind?

well, you don't need ten inches anywhere. but if you get rain right where they need it, this could be a big help force, potentially some relief on the way, glad to hear at chad myers and weather center thank you so much still ahead. >> a boeing bombshell, the plane makers ceo about to face lawmakers over a string of safety concerns and a new whistleblower flaming the company likely installed broken or mismatched parts after hiding them from regulators. plus, he was a key face of the government's response to the covid panel endemic. and now he's telling sanjay gupta it was painful to correct former president trump during the shutdown and pop star justin timberlake arrest sued allegedly driving while intoxicated. with new details on his first court appearance and just a few moments, they would see an a new central historically the soviet union killed traders i started to run two kgb cars had come behind us. i didn't know what to do secrets spies, a nuclear game sunday at ten on cnn. you found the right model for sure. now, how can you be sure you're getting the right deal?
