Youre watching big developments where President Of The Us and the former president are at the border. Bounceville to the left of the screen there where joe biden is. He will be speaking later this hour. Eagle pass. Thats where President Trump is. He will be speaking shortly himself. At issue, this runaway surge of migrants at the border. Each man has a different prescription for this and each is pointing fingers at the other. What gals many at the border right now is the fact that joe biden is blaming this on inaction on things that should have been done years ago. He said renering to a number of mrsa that republicans dropped the back pushing. Be that as it may, well go to bill melugin in eagle pass and how donald trump is taking all of this in. Bill . Neil, good afternoon to you. The Trump Campaign tells us hes expected to speak in about 15 minutes. Hes at the shelby park boat ramp. Hes meeting with Governor Abbott and texas dps and National Guard. Its been remarkable to watch. We have the split screen. President biden is in brownsville. Notice everybody down there is wearing green uniforms. These are neal Border Patrol officials. Juxtapose that here, everyone trump is meeting with is in military that teagues or tan uniforms. Thats because hes only meeting with texas officials out here. Texas was evicted and kicked out federal Border Agents earlier this year. They felt the federal government was rolling out the red carpet for illegal immigration here in shelby park. They were cutting texas razor wire, releasing migrants to local ngos. Governor abbott said no, weve had enough. He kicked the feds out. They have put up razor wish and legions of troopers and National Guard soldiers here looking this area down. As a result, illegal crossings here have really plummeted. The area donald trump is standing in right now is about 30 yard away from a flagpole with a bunch of flowers on the ground. The flagpole is a memorial for specialist bishop evans. A texas National Guard soldier that drowned in the river there in spring of 2022. He jumped in the river and tried to help a group of migrants that were struggling. He lost his life there. What has happened since . A lot of politicians have called for the end of operation lone star. Greg abbott is wasting his time and money and shouldnt be building his own wall. Texas governor cabbott says he leaning in to it more. He believes in the mission. Speaking from covering the boredter last three years, it feels like everything started shifting once he started bussing migrants to these Sanctuary Cities. Thats when the media on a National Scale was forced to start covering this. Thats when we started hearing the blue cities speaking out about the border. It wasnt just something happening way off in texas in these little dusty towns anymore. The Border Crisis was brought to their door step. Thats when the momentum started shifting. This is where it became an issue. As you look at this remarkable split screen, President Biden down in brownsville, 300 miles away from the rgv. You have former President Trump hire in eagle pass, both visiting the border on the exact same day. Both men know how important this topic has become to voters across the country. What happens here at the border no longer stays here. Migrants have be going all around the country, whether its Governor Abbott, the ngos facilitating travel. Weve seen cities across the country running into fiscal issues now. They have Tens Of Thousands of new people that they have to take care of. Both of these men trying to display to voters that this is a pillar of their campaigns. Donald trump on the right side of the screen continues to get this briefing here in eagle pass. Weve been talking about it all day. Eagle pass a busier area than brownsville where President Biden has been. This eagle pass area, theyre still getting hundreds of illegal crossings every day where The State Of Texas isnt. Its still federal area. In brownsville, they have been getting a handful of illegal crossings each day this week. Its been remarkable to watch how the eagle pass area has changed over the years, neil. We started coming out in fall of 2021. There was no razor wear, no shipping containers, no soldiers. It was when the crisis was just warming up. To see what it has transformed in to over the years with the lockdown here, back in december when we had 3,000 to 4,000 people crossing every day here. Everybody remembers those viral images. Its consistently gotten worse over the years. What were seeing is texas really being the lone state, maybe apart with florida, that has stepped up and said no, were not going to allow this. Earlier today we found out a federal judge is blocking texas sb 4 Security Bill. That would have allowed texas authorities to arrest and jail people of suspected of being in the u. S. Illegally in texas ill illegally. The controversial part, would have given texas state judges the ability to deport people. A federal judge came in today and blocked that, said it cannot take effect. Said that Immigration Law is carried out by the federal government, not by the state. Texas has said that they plan to appeal that. Were both waiting for both trump and buy didnt to deliver remarks now. Youre probably going to hear pretty drastic different approaches here. Probably hear. Trump bash President Biden for his mass Catch And Release policies. Say something along the line on day number 1, he did away with all of my policies. Stopped building the wall. Hundreds of millions of steal has been rusting in the dessert. Youll hear President Biden point the finger at republicans and say for several months, senators, bipartisan, were trying to hash out a bipartisan border deal. They got it done. Republicans shot it down within hours of being released. They didnt want to go for it. This is on the republicans. Is that going to fly with voters . You know, its up to how President Biden delivers his remarks today and how he frames this. It become very obvious and we see it poll after poll that Border Policy has surged to the top of the list when it comes to concerns for these voters. That is why you see the former president and the current president down here touring completely different areas of the border. I will say they have both chosen areas that are not as busy as other parts. We just got back from san diego sector last week, which is completely overrun. Mass releases happening by the hundreds every day. As we watch here in texas, you continue to see Trump Meeting with texas officials, President Biden meeting with federal officials. Now we wait to hear what they both say. Now back to you, neil. A quick question for you. Unusual to see two president s in the same state at the same time addressing the border with very big differences not only the venues 300 miles apart. Did one know to go first and say im going to go the same day, almost the same hour. How did this come to be . So the Border Patrol union actually put out an oped that is fairly interesting. They are very close with team trump, the Border Patrol Union President is walking with President Trump right now. Thats you see him in the black shirt and tan pants. Thats brandon judd, the president of the Border Patrol union. We have a small screen here. The union says that team trump selectively leaked that he was going to be coming here to eagle pass to try to get a reaction out of the biden campaign. Then after that is when biden announced that he would be coming to the border as well. So according to the Border Patrol union, they Say Team Trump leaked that he was going to come to the border thursday. Then President Biden said he was going to come down here. President biden while he was having ice cream the other day denied that. We saw his sound bite where he said i was making plans to go to the border thursday and found out my friend was going too. President biden claims he didnt know trump was coming. Regardless of the planning, theyre down here now. Its a rare moment. President biden has not be down here since a little over a year ago. He went to el paso, which was cleaned up before his visit. El paso had been extremely busy in december of 2022. He shows up the next winter. All of the streets had been cleared out. He didnt visit a Border Patrol station. He went to a port of entry. He went to a Migrant Center where he didnt meet a single migrant somehow. This time is different. He met with Border Patrol by the rivers edge in brownsville. Its unclear if hes seen migrants today yet. We havent seen any in the footage yet. Well have to check with griff jenkins. Here with are, neil, over three years in this crisis now and something that originally only fox news has been covering since the beginning the last few years. Now we have the current president and the former president out hire on the exact same day at different parts of the border as this Border Crisis has exploded and has become top of mind for voters really all across the country. Neil absolutely. And it started with you and griff covering this when nobody was. They laughed at the coverage and there was nothing to see here, move on. Theres obviously something to see here. The uniqueness and the historical nature of this as youre watching two president s, the present occupant of the white house and the former occupant of the white house recognizing the severity and how big an issue the border has become. It was the number 1 issue in every primary. Far from the border. In all starts, what was happening there and the surge that is real and scary there is a topic number 1 for voters everywhere. Be it republican or democrat. Its coming to a head today, two respects, 300 miles apart. Well take you there after this. All right right now we have i apologize. We have raul ortiz, the Border Patrol chief. I apologize for that. Lets get your take on what were witnessing what is so confusing about it, the fact that now two president s are joined in recognizing the serious any of this. It was a huge topic for President Trump when he was president , remained so as a candidate and trying to return as president. Joe biden not so much. Again, it might be just recognizing poll numbers now for the president. I talked to one border official that said better late than never. What do you think . Certainlily its important that the president meet with Border Patrol officials to see what needs to be done to remedy the crisis that is ongoing. Its not just in south texas or west texas. Its happening in tucson, san diego, el paso. Those are the three busiest areas along the southwest border right now. The only way youre going to actually hear first hand is by talking to those Border Patrol officials by meeting with the chief of the Border Patrol. When i was the chief, i never met with the president or the vice president. Its long overdue that they sit down and roll up their sleeves and start coming up with solutions. Let me ask you, three decades you devoted your life helping to protect the border. You sacrificed a lot. I can not imagine what you and your women went through for that. Every effort that, you know, the governor of texas has taken some controversial, others maybe a little less so, has come with criticism and generally lawsuits. Now the latest is there judge, a federal judge that has blocked texas law that would allow the police to arrest migrants that illegally enter the u. S. Other suits filed from the white house and the justice department, limiting or preventing what the governor is trying to do there. So theyre clearly not on the same page. When i was the chief in del rio, when i was down in south texas, we had a level of cooperation with The State Of Texas, the department of Public Safety. That needs to continue. You know, Law Enforcement officialings on the ground, they know actually how to do the job. Theres certainly an opportunity to enforce consequences against the illegal migration coming across the river. Its long overdue that the president visit and once again, it needs to be a joint effort. Cant just be The State Of Texas or the federal government. All Law Enforcement has to work closely together. Neil were watching President Trump. He is speaking right now. Were having some audio issues. Lets listen to donald trump. It will be even more secure by the time you finish, which will be soon. I just want to thank some friends of mine, brandon judd has been a friend since day one. He knew what we were all about. Knew what we were saying and doing. I think we were ahead of our time. General thomas is something that is always right there and understands this Texas Military department. He understands more. Thats what youre in, a war. William gorby. Hes been fantastic. Just an Incredible Group that you put together fortunately. I might ask brandon to say a couple words. Right at the beginning, we were in to it. We saw what was happening. The governor was there. Then he really stepped it up. Its been amazing. I came when i was lucky enough to receive his endorsements. I endorsed him also. Very proudly endorsed him. A lot of things have happened in the last little while. This is an incredible operation. Brandon, would you like to say a couple words . Absolutely. Thank you, sir. President , thank you. President biden went to brownsville, texas rather than going to arizona. Rather than going to san diego, california, rather than coming to eagle pass, texas, which has been the epicenter. What President Trump has seen right here is hes seen how his policies have worked, but hes also seen how he can expand upon those policies once he takes goes back in to the white house. Hes seen how Governor Abbott has been able to use his policies to secure this specific area. The epicenter of the last two years of the illegal Border Crisis that we have had to endure. Your agents are pissed. Border patrol agents are upset that we cannot get the proper policy that is necessary to protect human life, to protect american citizens. To protect the people that are cross the border illegally. We want to protect them as well. We cant do that because the president s policies continue to invite people across here. Thank goodness we have a governor like Governor Abbott. Thank goodness we have somebody willing to run for president of the United States, forego Everything Else hes been doing to serve the American People as president. Thank you. Thank you very much. The reports have come out. Weve been covering them. I spoke to the parents of an incredible young lady. You saw her the other day, what happened to her in georgia. The parents are devastated. They are incredible people. This is a joe biden invasion. This is a biden invasion over the past three years. I call him crooked joe because hes crooked. Hes a terrible president. Probably the most incompetent president wee ever had. Allowing thousands and thousands to come in from china, iran, yemen, the congo, syria. All these mean are at a certain age. Something is going on bad now. The United States is being overrun by the biden migrant crime. Its a new form of vicious violation to our country. Its my grant crime. We call it biden migrant crime. Every time you hear the term migrant crime, you know where it comes from. Could be 15 million, could be 18 million by the time he gets out of office because hopefully the biggest risk we have is nine months. A lot of bad things can happen. I always say in speeches and rallies, if you take the ten worst president s, you added them up, all of the problems, all of the lousy jobs that they have done, you can add them up, it not as bad as this one man has done for our country, what hes done to our country. Hes destroying our country. We would just have to look the general was saying, he cant believe what is happening. Cant believe it. So sad. Last year almost half of all ice arrests were criminal aliens charged for more than 33,000 assaults, 3,000 robberies, 6,900 burglaries, 7,500 weapons crimes. This is all migrant crime. 4,300 sex crimes, 1,600 kidnaps and homicides and murders. These are the people coming in to our country. Theyre coming from jails, theyre coming from prisons, theyre coming from mental institutions. Theyre coming from Insane Asylums and terrorists. Theyre being led in to our country. Its horrible. Its horrible. You know, i know many of the leaders of these countries doing it. Its not just south america. Its all over the world. The congo, a very big population coming in from jails from the congo. L
