President trump democrats have really let them down. Theyve really let them down. They had this great opportunity. The democrats have really let them down. Its a shame. Now people are taking advantage of daca and thats a shame. Bill that was from the easter egg roll yesterday. Team fox coverage live this morning. William la jeunesse on the trail of Illegal Immigrants in mexico. Lets start with chief White House Correspondent john roberts from the news for overnight and this morning today. Good morning there. Good morning. The caravan of Central American migrants on the mind of President Trump using nafta as a lever to try to get mexico to stop the flow of migrants through their country and into the United States. Negotiators said to be close to a deal on nafta. The president letting it be known that the whole thing could hinge on whether mexico intervenes and turns around the group of people. People coming across mexico and heading to our border had better be stopped before it gets there. Cash cow nafta is in play as is foreign aid to honduras and countries that allow this to happen. Congress must act now. The president is calling on congress to pass tough new measures to toughen up immigration including tightening up laws to make amnesty claims more difficult. It is believed a lot of these migrants will claim amnesty when they get to the United States saying theyll be persecuted if they go back home and end protections for children arriving without parents to allow them to be more easily sent back to the country of origin and families detained longer while their cases are adjudicated. President trump has complained about this policy of catch and release which allows some people to sort of disappear into American Society rather than ever showing up for their immigration hearing. The president driving home that point in a tweet last night saying as ridiculous as it sounds the laws of our country continue easily allow us to send those crossing our southern border back where they came from. A whole big wasted procedure must take place. Ours are an obama joke, act congress. At the same time the department of justice is imposing new quotas on Immigration Judges to try to help clear up a huge backlog of immigration cases. Judges will now be required to complete 700 cases per year to get a satisfactory grade. Thats about three per day. The department of justice also implementing new timetables to speed up ajudd indication of immigration cases. The backlog is enormous. There are some 650,000 people awaiting adjudication in the system and only 350 judges, which means that each judge has about 2,000 cases on the docket with new cases being added every day here in america. Now the Union Representing the judges very strongly opposed to these quotas and promising theyll fight them somehow. Bill thank you, john roberts. More when we get it this morning from the north lawn. The group behind the Migrant Caravan is responding to President Trump. Theyre accusing him of trying to turn Central American refugees against each other. And they claim that they are being used as a bargaining chip with mexico. William la jeunesse joins us now from los angeles with more on that aspect of all this. William. Well, the u. S. Is trying to convince mexico to stop this caravan before it reaches the u. S. Officials on both sides dont want this mass of people hitting the border fence together. Not just because of the image of 1300 displaced migrants stuck in no mans land but the potential of humanitarian crisis in places like tijuana if the u. S. Doesnt except them. According to the Associated Press they crossed into mexico march 25 from guatemala. Theyre headed to pueblo for a legal clinic to best obtain asiel imin the u. S. And some in mexico before heading north. The problem for the u. S. Is existing law only requires Central Americans to claim a credible fear of persecution if forced to return to home. Based on that, most are put in shelters for a short period of time before being released to relatives in the u. S. In the last year and a half the u. S. Has taken in more than 250,000 Central American children and families. Yesterday on special report the mexican ambassador to the u. S. Said he understood the u. S. Position. We certainly understand the concern not only that President Trump has but people in the United States here have about immigration. And i have to say that mexico is now largely a country that receives immigrants. The group guiding this group of immigrants north offered this statement saying trump is trying to turn Central American refugees and other immigrant communities against each other and use them as a bargaining chip with mexico. In the face of this bullying and these threats of Mass Violence we continue to stand in solidarity with displaced people. So it is our understanding, heather, that some of the men have broken off from the group to take the train north. For women and children getting on its much more difficult. If they cant afford a bus or another form of transportation, they could be stuck in mexico. Mexico said theyve already attempted to send about 400 home. It is possible this will dissipate in pueblo. They may continue the trek north and could see them if two weeks if they continue. Well continue to monitor it. Thank you. Bill still coming up on all this Corey Lewandowski is here, the Texas Attorney general ken paxton is here. Stay tuned for reaction on that. Meanwhile another big story breaking. The wife of fired deputy f. B. I. Director Andrew Mccabe speaking out calling out President Trump in a new piece in the Washington Post writing this. The president attacked my reputation, its time to set the record straight. Now that i can speak on my own behalf i want people to know that the whole story that everything is based on is just false and utterly absurd. Byron york, Political Correspondent for the Washington Examiner and Fox News Contributor with me in studio. Lets back up. Mccabe has been fired. His wife, jill, ran for state office in virginia with a lot of money and democratic support. They lost that office. Today we have her first response. What do you think is in this piece . The questions that were initially raised were that she ran with the great support of terry mccaul i have. The democratic governor of virginia and close to Hillary Clinton while her husband was involved in the Hillary Clinton email affair. Should he the investigation, should he have recused himself from that . One of the things we learn in this that wasnt widely known is that Andrew Mccabe along with his wife met with governor. Everything we talked about was about medicaid expansion. I ran because i wanted to make things better for virginia. This had nothing to do with my husband. Bill she says he is a reliable republican and voting republican and democrat. All of that is in the piece. Whats not in the piece is just as telling. She does not address the clinton email investigation. She does not and not what her husband should have done. We do know that the Inspector Generals report, which covers an drew mccabes conduct as well as james comey and others is coming out sometime. Were in early april now. We think it may be around the beginning of may. We also know that Andrew Mccabe set up a go fund me Legal Defense fund which a spokesperson said he closed down last night after gathering more than 500,000. He is expecting some sort of Legal Expenses. He said two things in setting up the account to anticipate any Legal Expenses and also any lawsuit he might pursue against someone else. Bill do you think its some sort of revelation in the Washington Post based on her story . Do you think it advance test story that weve been tracking so far . A little bit. What you see with the mccabes now, both andrew and now his wife jill, i think you see a kind of Public Relations offensive to try to get ahead of possible bad publicity thats coming out. Not just publicity but bad substance that could be coming out in the i. G. Report. Bill another story. President trump is tweeting about Jeff Sessions yesterday. Here is the tweet that went out. So sad department of justice and f. B. I. Are slow walking or not giving the unredacted documents requested by congress. An embarrassment to our country. Thats the tweet. Trust me on that. The wall street journal defends sessions saying by reading the riot act to his f. B. I. Director and shunning the employment of another special counsel he rendered the session to the constitution, Good Government and even mr. Trump. Even worthy of a celebratory president ial tweet. Thank you, Jeff Sessions. What is there . Bill he has a point. From the president s perspective sessions has done two positive things. One sessions clearly leaned on the f. B. I. Director to be more responsive to congressional investigation requests. Remember when paul ryan accused the of stonewalling congress. The special arrangement sessions put together to investigate the trump investigation. And a lot of republicans have been unhappy with that but the man appointed to do that, john huber, the u. S. Attorney in utah, was actually a favorite of mike lee and orrin hatch, the two republican senators there and he has a lot of powers that an Inspector General might not have. Bill check it out in the wall street journal. Two days in a row byron york in new york city in person. Heather, on we roll. Well talk about the markets coming up. Kind of volatile day yesterday. Bill investors on edge. The dow plunged 500 points yesterday. It did. More attacks on amazon part of the issue. Fears of a trade war. What happens today . Just minutes away from the opening bell.

Heather President Trumps legal team asking a federal judge to order private arbitration in the case filed by Stormy Daniels who claims she had an affair with mr. Trump more than a decade ago. Daniels attorney wants the case heard publicly. He has been looking to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement signing it prior to the 2016 election. The white house says the president denies daniels claims. Bill 16 past the hour now. Brutal day on wall street yesterday. Opening bell 14 minutes away. The dow down more than 700 points at one point. Closed down 458 to the down side. Amazon has been hammered. The president went after the online giants again and fears of a trade war rising with china. The tar i have issue is out there and the host of mornings with Maria Bartiromo live in studio to break it down for us. Such a hot market and great for fox business, too. The amount of interest right now that is in this economy and how it goes with the confluence of a president who is very active in these hitech flyers along the way and theyre coming to a head. What happens with the amazon deal . For starters amazon i think the president has to be careful about calling out individual Companies Number one. Having said that, i do think that there is an issue about dominance. Every industry is getting afraid of big bad amazon because its coming in disrupting that industry whether its Grocery Stores or healthcare, insurance, you know, beyond. Media. So i think this president has shown us that he doesnt like dominance whether it be dominance in terms of this at t time warner deal and trying to figure out if theyll have a dominant position or media and amazon. I think there is risk in the president calling out individual companies. I dont think anybody wants to see that. Bill im looking at the tariff fight and the tax reform deal that was passed. Im looking at the economy. I see an election seven months away. Among those with whom you speak every day on your program, is there concern among leadership perhaps that the tax deal was a great idea and they got it done and they showed the American People they can accomplish a big piece of legislation. But are they stomping on this thing now based on the president s policy . Because of the trade story and because of these tariffs. Everybody gets it when you talk about china. China has been stealing our intellectual property. They have put an incredible amount of restrictions on American Business buying into china. If you want to sell to the 1. 3 billion people in china, you will never have an ownership stake. You will be able to at some point be a 49 owner of a joint venture. You will never have a dominant position in china. You will also be faced with is that industry one of their 10 industries deemed off limits to foreigners . We dont have any of that here. I think people understand what the president is doing with regard to china. The bigger issue is aluminum and steel tariffs that have rattled the markets. It is more of a negotiation the president has launched than anything else. Im not afraid of a trade war. Bill does he chip away at it to get a better deal than before or is this an entire remake . Bill, we have 800 billion in deficits in terms of trade across the world. China has a 375 billion surplus with the United States. Pick any country, germany, 70 billion surplus. I dont think these countries will do too much to mess around with the positive position they have. So i think its just about fair trade. It is not necessarily a trade war. Bill last point here you are on the air yesterday and the market is falling through the floor. Its a tough monday. Peter is on the north lawn of the white house saying the economy is humming now. Not only American Economy but International Markets as well. Is that true . We are humming along. Its true. We are bow to enter an Earnings Period and corporate earnings up 16 1 2 . 2018 earnings expected to be up 18 . Thats largely due to the tax cut plan and it is very good. Were talking about groigt of 3 this year as numbers go up. Yes, things are humming. Well get the jobs number out this friday. Expect a 4 unemployment rate. Near full employment. Expect job creation in the last month of at least 180,000 jobs. Im positive on this economy and where we are now. Stock market will go up and down but you are looking at fundamentals that are solid. Heather love all the positive news. The battle lines have been drawn in the next fight between the Trump Administration and the state of california. The Justice
