We begin this hour with Breaking News on the economy. There is new data sugg the american job market remains strong. This morning, the govnmt reported that employers added a whopping 336,000 jobs last month. Thats nearly double t 170,000 Jobs Economists had predicted. The Unemployment Rate held steady at3. 8 . And when you break it down,he hispanic Unemployment Rate fell 0. 3 . While the black Unemployment Rate rose 0. 4 . Were keeping a close eye on the white house where the president is set to speak about this jobs report and national manufacturing. Well bring you those remarks when they begin. Joining us now, dominique chu. Whats behind the numbers . Not many people at all were forecasting for this kind of job growth pointed out by the doubling of jobs created over the forecast. What this does suggest is that the u. S. Economy is still extremely resilient and thats a good thing. Theres a lot to unpack. But the big takeaway from this report, the economy is growing in some ways and not growing as fast in others. Which reinforces this idea that we could see either a soft landing with only a mild recession, if any at all in the coming months, now there was robust job growth there was that job growth was there, obviously, with the numbers. But it was the wages that gave some people some optimism. They grew but at a less than expected pace. This reinforces this idea that the economy can cool off and inflation can be moderated without a massive loss of jobs or a dropoff in wages. Now the percentage of americans participating in the labor force remains steady month to month. Theres a measure for those who are underemployed, those who are working parttime jobs. That fell slightly over the last month. Now, as for where the job creation was, it was leisure and hospitality that led the way with 96,000 jobs. Government added 73,000. Health care 41,000 jobs, and professional, scientific and Technical Service gained as well. In addition, the prior two months of job numbers were actually revised upward by a more than combined 119,000 than previously reported. Jose, the initial Market Reaction was negative. Interest rates rose, stocks fell, because some believe that this means the Federal Reserve could have to raise Interest Rates further and or keep them higher for longer. But over the last hour or so as you just saw, stocks have gone from deeper losses back towards Session Highs and the techheavier nasdaq index is positive on the day now. This tugofwar over economic headlines and fed policy continues. But for right now, there seems to be some moderation and optimism the American Economy is doing okay. Thank you so much. Now to new action by the Biden Administration about the humanitarian crisis at the southern border. The Biden Administration reaching a deal with venezuela to begin deporting venezuelan migrants who cross the border and do not have a legal basis to remain in the country. This comes just weeks after the administration granted Temporary Protected Status to about 470,000 venezuelans who arrived in the u. S. Before august. It also comes as u. S. Customs and Border Protection says it encountered nearly 10,000 migrants crossing the border on wednesday. Most of them were venezuelan. New border wall will be in the rio grande valley. The president says his hands are tied. The border wall, the money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate to redirect that money. They wouldnt in the meantime, theres nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I cant stop that. Do you believe the Border Wall Works . No. With us now to talk more about this, gabe gutierrez. Good morning. The white house has been on offense, insisting there was no option but to do this. Reporter good morning. Yes, the white house today even and also a spokesman for the department of Homeland Security stresses that there was a legal requirement to use this money. But the question remains, even though the Dhs Secretary says yesterday that his comments and that federal register which you read live on the air were taken out of context again, there is presently an acute and need to construct barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the u. S. In order to prevent unlawful entries that appears to have made a contradiction with what you just heard the president say there. But, again, the department of Homeland Security says that that was a legal requirement to waive these laws and to build this extra section of wall which the money was appropriated back in 2019 under the Trump Administration in congress. Take a listen to Peter Alexanders exchange yesterday with the White House Press secretary on this very point. Take a listen. I want to tell you what the president said and what your colleague asked him. A direct contradiction i hear you. Im speaking for the president. He has said that he does not believe a border wall is effective. He has said that for some time now. It still remains to be the case. He asked, right, he asked congress multiple times, his team has asked congress to reappropriate the funds. They refused to do that. Reporter an official says all of this has nothing to do with the Mounting Pressure that weve seen, jose, from northern cities and democrats in new york, chicago and places like massachusetts as well that have been sounding the alarm asking the federal government to do more. The white house and the department of Homeland Security stresses that this recent Border Wall Project was first announced back in june and theyre trying to make the case that it is not new. Still that waiving of environmental laws, jose, in order to fast track this has gotten a lot of attention in many parts of the country and especially in some of those Border Communities, jose. Gabe, the white house announced yesterday that they would resume deportations to venezuela after what clearly is an agreement with the Venezuelan Regime there. Reporter yeah. Still a lot of questions surrounding that. Senior Administration Officials declined to say what if anything negotiations there had been with the maduro government. But just yesterday, there was an announcement of an Arrest Warrant issued in venezuela for the Opposition Leader juan guiado who is here in the u. S. No indication that theres any potential connection there. But it raises a lot of questions on what if any talks the u. S. Has had with the maduro government. Those deportation flights as you said resuming now. And there are also questions about how many exactly there will be. The Senior Administration official said that they would begin soon, but wouldnt provide many details. Jose, as you said, this comes after several weeks, after nearly half a million venezuelans who arrived in this country were given temporary protective status. Gabe gutierrez at the white house. Thank you so much. Joining us now by phone, morgan chesky. What are you seeing there and what are people saying about these new developments . Reporter jose, good morning. Reactions are most definitely mixed. Its interesting, for some of the people who live in these Border Communities, its taking them back to 2019 for those who were against the construction of this border barrier, this wall, and whenever President Biden was elected and he vowed not to extend the wall by another foot, in some communities there was relief. And now their facing this fight yet again, jose. I should mention, as gabe did, the 26 federal laws that were waived in order to move this project along. Some of those include environmental laws, those impacting wildlife, endangered species, et cetera, and that is why were already hearing some of the pushback against this. On the other side, though, however, there are leaders in these communities, jose, that acknowledge that the numbers of migrants theyve seen come across the rio grande are unsustainable. And they are hopeful although they dont know when this new portion would go up that it would curb the numbers coming across. At last check, u. S. Customs and Border Protection said on wednesday alone, along the u. S. mexico border, there were more than 8,000 attempts to illegally cross. Those are the kind of numbers that theyre seeing on a regular basis here, jose. I want you to hear from one local leader who is unconvinced, however, that this will make any significant impact. Take a listen. I dont think these physical structures are going to stop anything. I think what its going to do is maybe enrich the cartels by making the crossings even more costly for people to do. People are going to find a way to cross. Humanity will find a way. Rather than doing a wholeofgovernment approach, we just have this silence. Reporter again, this stretch of Border Wall Barrier would be 20 miles in length and would go in star county. That is just to the northwest of where we are here in mcallen. Were headed that way right now and expect to hear from their county judge later today. Jose . Morgan chesky, thank you so much. With us now to continue our conversation, california congressman robert garcia. He sits on the Homeland Security committee. And hes a member of the biden campaigns National Advisory board. Its always a pleasure to see you. Thank you for your time. I just like, if you could, to kind of expand on this. The president says very directly, that this is congress forcing his hands on this. Is this indeed what were witnessing . I mean it is, first, lets be clear, i agree with many of my colleagues in the house and certainly with the president that border walls do not work. Theyre inhumane. They have not stopped migration into the united states. Weve wasted an norms amount of money on a symbol that is not about the humanity about what is actually happening. They dont work and the president has reiterated that point as early as we as we saw yesterday. At the same time, we also know this was authorized prior to President Biden taking office. Congress actually moved forward and funded this before the president asked congress to reallocate the funds. Congress chose not to do it. Theyre moving through something that keeps hes legally required to do. Lets be clear, border walls do not work and we should not be constructing more. Were working with the white house on to ensure that Environmental Review that folks that are on the ground are plugged in. We should not be building anymore wall. I know the president is committed to that. Congressman, you are a member of congress responsible for writing the laws and certainly that was a budgetary law, 2019, that really mandated that the president begin to do this. But is there anything in that 2019 law that implies states, orders the president to waive 26 federal laws in order to build this new section of law . Look, weve talked to the white house about this. Dhs and the white house are convinced that theyre mandated to build this wall. I think the bigger issue and the broader concern here is that we do not have a an Immigration Policy, a National Policy on how were going to solve the huge challenges that are happening not just here in the u. S. , but certainly across Central America and South America. The president on day one introduced an Immigration Policy to the congress when he was in office. Theres many bills in congress that republicans in the house choose not to bring up. Even within our own committee and within Homeland Security. We have tried to Fund Additional programs. We tried to fund organizations on the ground. Bring in other nonprofits. Were trying to expand programs across central and South America where migrants can seek help in their own home countries. But theres we need to do a comprehensive plan across the country. It does not exist. The fact that weve not passed major Immigration Reform in this country since the 1980s is a shame. Im an immigrant myself. I came here when i was a young kid. I earned citizenship in my 20s. What were doing in the u. S. Right now is shameful. It is the responsibility of congress to deal with this issue. Something that you very well point out. Hasnt been dealt with by the folks on capitol hill since 1986. The u. S. Is announcing an agreement with the maduro regime to resume direct deportation flights to venezuela. Whats your take on that . I think this is this is part of a broader policy and plan. I think what is really beneficial is the extended opportunity for venezuelans that are here, 400,000 of them plus to actually stay and work and have some type of status here is really, really important. And so the broader plan to address the humanitarian crisis thats happening in venezuela, i think is really positive. And we applaud the president on the expansion of that Temporary Protected Status program. And i also think that we have to start thinking about and rethinking our relationships in central and South America. We have years and years of sanctions and years and years of not really using diplomacy and foreign aid in the appropriate ways and it has led to this moment. We have an opportunity now to move forward, to work within congress to pass broad Immigration Reform that protects our borders, which democrats are also interested in, but also brings foreign aid, a program that works, supports nonprofits, brings people in a way that is humane and we should never forget that the folks that are coming here are desperate. Theyre fleeing extreme conditions and we should be viewing this as a humanitarian opportunity for us to help as a country. Congressman robert garcia, i cant thank you enough for being with us. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Coming up, former President Donald Trump weighs in on the speakers race. Will his Endorsement Tip the sales . Were back in 60 seconds. The sales .

Former President Trump put his thumb on the scale in the House Speaker race throwing his support behind jim jordan. He posted that he will be a great speaker of the house and has my complete and total endorsement. Nbc news spoke with Republican Voters in michigan about the chaos in the house and several explained why they think it was a good move to oust former speaker Kevin Mccarthy. He cant be stagnant with these liberal policies. We cant. We have to stand up to that and otherwise were going to lose our country. If he was, you know, Working A Little Bit too cozy with the democrats and im all for him being voted out. Joining us now is nbcs Garrett Haake on capitol hill. Also with us is a former congressman from virginia. Garrett, whats trumps endorsement mean for the House Speaker race . Reporter its hard to say exactly. Trump has endorsed Kevin Mccarthy, never formally got rid of endorsement. I think that the fact that trump has endorsed removes one variable from this discussion. And while it might have helped scalise wrap up some of the more maga members more than it helps jordan, i dont think its settles this one way or another. If your jim jordan, your problem is convincing some of these more moderate members of the conference that youre not going to just run the whole house like the House Freedom caucus or like the
