Numbers of illegal crossings as recently as june but now warned the tide is turning reporting a drastic increase so far this month despite extreme heat and new restrictions put in place by Homeland Security. Republicans point to a border wall started under President Trump but never completed. Not a coincidence the thoughts on Physical Barriers Go Hand In hand with what we see as the consequence. The fruit of decisions. The white house insists their border plan is actually working. Listen. As we have said multiple times, our border enforcement plan works. It the deterrent. Diplomacy and enforcement. We have seen that plan working. Gillian officials in Sanctuary Cities including new york and chicago are struggling to support thousands of migrants and Asylum Seekers. It is a major rift in new york between the governor and mayor adams. Cb cotton is in new york with details on the emerging feud. We begin first in El Paso Reporting On The Trump border wall that never came to be. All up and down the u. S. Mexico Border you will come across these Construction Sites that look a bit more like ghost towns frankly and they have for the last 2 1 2 years when President Biden took office and you remember almost immediately pulled the plug on the border wall project. This week we visited a cattle ranch in new mexico west of el paso where piles of border wall supplies are parked untouched. Supplies that were already purchased and allocated under the Previous Administration. Originally 15 billion was budgeted to build about 740 new miles of wall. 450 miles did go up. About 290 did not. The u. S. Army corps of engineers testified before a joint Homeland Security subcommittee last month that work is being done to clear some 21,000 unused wall panels through repurposing or scrapping. As the feds say it costs 160,000 every month just to store these materials. Ive been given no answers to whats going to happen to it. Whats more concerning to me, rather than just this material sitting here on the ground taking up space, whats more concerning is its not being utilized for the purpose that it was produced for. Meantime here in el paso, Officials Say migrant shelters have been operating over capacity for at least the last month. City official eaves say they have resorted to putting some migrants up in hotels. They are even looking to use two vacant middle schools here in the city as makeshift shelters if needed. Gillian. Gillian Casey Stiegel in el paso, thank you. In new york, meanwhile. Mayor eric adams and Governor Hochul are arguing who is at fault for the chaos. Hochuls team blasted the mayors management and messaging. They are failing to use resources the state provided. His team adds should they offer more sites to house the influx of people, they are happy to place them there. Cb cotton joins us from a Psychiatric Center in queens, new york now turned into a tent city for migrants as we understand it. What can you tell us . Hi, gillian. The finger pointing continues. Governor cathy hochuls lawyer said New York City has been too slow to act in some cases or in other terms hasnt taken them up on offers to help. According to state filed Court Documents in response to New York Citys request for more help, the state says quote, the state has identified numerous additional stateowned properties and nonstateowned sites that are Viable Options for sheltering migrants but the city hasnt accepted these offers. The filing accuses the city of rejecting more than a dozen sites that could house more than 3,000 migrants and the city needs to properly manage the 1. 5 billion in state funds it has been given. This morning mayor eric adams pushed back on the idea of a feud saying the city and the state need to go back to the drawing board. The sites that were given to us some of them were in floodplains, some were not suitable to build. So we analyzed each site. We did not ignore any of the sites. Right now a statefunded tent shelter is under construction on Soccer Fields used by children and adult Sports Leagues on Randalls Island and a state funded shelter opened in the parking lot of this Psychiatric Center housing up to migrant men. 13 people were arrested in a protest last night including former gop mayoral candidate. A spokesperson said they need more support to care for and house migrants. The city says it spent nearly 2 billion this fiscal year and will spend up to 12 billion over the next three fiscal years if things dont change. Gillian. Gillian cb cotton in queens, new york. Lets bring in Molly HemingwayFox News Contributor and editor and chief at the federalist. It seems were reaching some kind of Critical Mass here where the border crisis has infected the east coast, it seems undeniable now in democratic strongholds like New York City that it is happening. When you look at the 6 million illegal Border Immigrants we have in the country since the Biden Administration took over, we think a lot about how the cartels have engaged in human trafficking, all the Human Rights Violations that go with that. Think about the fentanyl that crossed the border leading to 100,000 deaths recently of americans. But we also now youre seeing New York City deal with what a lot of cities and small towns throughout the country have been dealing with because of our lack of control over the border. When you have this flood of immigrants, Illegal Immigrants and also the drugs and other problems that come with it, it can cause a lot of administration problems. New york city New York Citys mayor was speaking a big game when the Trump Administration was trying to control the border and now New York City would welcome everybody whether they were Asylum Seekers and Illegal Immigrants. He is dealing with the problem and it is not going very well. Gillian do you think there is still a chance he can get ahold of the situation, start managing this in a way that is sustainable for the city, or this is all the feud with the governor, this is all sort of like rearranging deck chairs on the titanic . It continue to be a very big problem and many people are concerned about it. It is a bipartisan problem going back decades, failure to control the border. Something you talk about this border wall thats there left unconstructed and you remember how during the Trump Administration was asking for 5 billion and even republican senators were fighting him on that and the 100 billion plus that has gone to ukraine. Biden Administration Says our plan is working on controlling the border. In a sense they are right. There plan was always to open up the border and to bring in just millions of illegal Border Crossers and not do anything about it. Their plan is working. The problem for americans is the plan is not what a lot of americans want. Gillian listen to senator sinema. She laid blame specifically at the feet of Democratic Leaders who sent 1 Hundred Million in federal border funds to new york and only 24 million to her state and she singled out Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries claiming the reason for the discrepancy is obvious. The announcement about the 104 million came out first in a joint Press Release from schumer and jeffries, not from the white house or fema. She called the decision deeply wrong. She is running for reelection in arizona and trying to appeal to people other than the Democrat Party that she was once in. The fact is that she voted for everything that these people did including she voted to confirm mayokas. Everyone knew it was the plan. Biden was pretty clear what his plan was for the border when he ran for office and why you saw a flood of Border Crossings even before he was inaugurated and people do Pay Attention to what the border policy of a president is. You saw that during the Trump Administration and you see it during the Biden Administration. For her to feign confusion about what is going on financing some of what is happening in new york and not dealing with the border problems in arizona i think is a bit too cute by half given everyone was honest they wanted to have an open border and they have worked steadfastly to insure that beginning on day one. Biden talked about how his first objective when he took office, day one, was to take away some of the Executive Orders from the Previous Administration to insure he would be able to up hold having this making taking away the Trump Administration border poll seals that he ran against. Gillian look at the devastating picture out of maui. 111 people are deceased after the wildfire. Families of the victims are being notified in a process expected to take many weeks. Plus this. Republicans insisting that despite the nation focusing on former president s trumps alleged crimes theyre hard at work pursuing the biden family. All the headlines are about trumps indictments. Certainly seemingly what democrats would want to see. What were not seeing are the things that we in congress are working on such as the potential crimes of hunter biden with his taxes.

Officials are still in the early stages of identifying the 100 plus people that have lost their lives to the wildfire. Officials said tuesday the lahaina fire is 85 contained. The white house has announced President Biden is ready to roll in. The president has been kept updated on a daily basis, kept close contact with the governor and senators in hawaii. The president and first lady will travel to hawaii on monday to meet with first responders, survivors, as well as federal, state and local officials. Gillian the republicans critics are pointing he has yet to visit east palestinians, oaf owe, the site of another disaster. We have details. Hey, mark. Good morning. The white house says President Biden has remained in Constant Contact with hawaiis governor as well as other officials on the island chain in the wake of the historic and horrific wildfires in maui. He faced criticism for early on not offering a huge response to the disaster. So far at least 110 people have been confirmed killed in these wildfires and fema officials believe the death toll could rise even higher. Today the president offered a direct message to the hawaiian people with a video on good morning america. President biden the entire nation is with you as you recover, rebuild and grieve. As you seek to heal from the loss of family and friends, homes and businesses, and the native hawaiian history gone forever. Well be with you for as long as it takes, i promise you. While hawaiis governor praised the president s response, some critics were less than kind after the president was on vacation in delaware as the fires were growing larger over the weekend. Reporters asked for an update and he said no comment. The white house says it is the gop who deserve some of the blame there. A spokesperson telling fox today we wont be lectured by republican officials in washington doubling down on denial of the Climate Crisis that is deaf eaves stating red and blue states who attempted to slash the Wildfire Response budget and cutting off puerto rico from hurricane relief. Former President Trump is among those who have spoken out against the president s response to this hawaiian disaster. No word yet if the former president plans to go to hawaii himself. He will head to maui with the first lady on monday. Gillian thank you. New fox polls are reviewing americans thinking about the Special Counsel investigation into hunter biden as well as the criminal indictments of former President Trump. Half of the people polled believe Hunter Bidens foreign businesses involved illegal activity. That number is up from 44 in april and 37 in february. Meanwhile more than half of those polled say former President Trump acted illegally when he tried to overturn the 2020 election. When it comes to the indictments against him, though, more than half say the actions are politically motivated. Here is republican senator. The twoteared system of justice. If you are acting in any way thats contrary to the party in power you will be prosecuted. What is happening with President Trump across the nation is a travesty right now. You have joe biden compromised and the closer that Congress Gets to uncovering what has happened with the biden family, the more effort is being put into prosecuting President Trump. Gillian a new fox ed argues it risks the greatest threat of all. Americans no longer believe in the fairness of our judicial system. Thanks for joining me today. How do you square the polls show that more than half of americans think that trump acted illegally in 2020, but at the same time more than half of americans also believe that the prosecutions are politically motivated . Its a tough one to square. My best bet is whats going on here a lot of americans look at that and say well, maybe trump did something wrong, maybe he did something illegal. But at the same time they look at the way the prosecutions have been carried out and they compare and contrast the trump prosecutions with whats been going on with hunter biden and based on that difference in treatment they conclude there is a bit of twotiered justice and a double standard. It is a complicated situation. Were in
