Are sent to the northeast be the encounters last month top 200 30,000 people. That is the highest august ever on record. We are live at ground zero for the surge in the texas town with the mayor there has just declared a migrant emergency. Hello everyone and welcome to Foxfox News Live by eric shawn. Arthel hello everyone i am arthel neville. Another big story we are watching for you. We are three days away from the second republican primary debates, seven candidates will take the stage at the Ronald Reagan a president ial library that is going to happen and simi valley, california. Before coming up we will hear from one of those candidates, Vivek Ramaswamy is here alive. He will join us and discuss what he will say at that debates. And get his reaction to the new Stunning Washingt washington pa poll that shows former President Trump way ahead of President Biden. Arthel we are going to begin at the Southern Border were large groups of migrants are pouring in that daily after a brief decline during the summer. Former u. S. Border patrol chief ron with Expert Analysis in a moment. But first we have like a Fox Team Coverage for you. David is at the white house with the reaction from top lawmakers. But first Griff Jenkins is alive in eagle pass, texas with the latest from there. Hey arthel, things are showing no signs of slowing down for it yesterday we had more than 1300 migrants pass right by our cameras. It has been a steady flow today as well part le lets take you p in the sky with her fox flight team. We see a steady stream of migrants coming up i handful of them trying to come from that Little Island separating eagle pass in texas they will have to crawl through the dangerous, dense razor wire that Texas Governor greg abbott has put here to try to deter them. As we have seen its obviously not working. There is one video i want to show you. I will show it to you now. The Border Patrol agents handing a small child helping a migrants off of these boxes. They were also put here by The State Of Texas to try to deter them. It really speaks to the humanitarian crisis it. The agents had to take care otherwise these migrants and certainly the small child being handed now could be injured. Its really why this is such an important story. Why the community is on the state of emergency. Earlier on Fox News Sunday texas a congressman democrat had this to say about the situation. Listen. We need to have repercussions at the border. What does that mean . You got to deport people and show those images of people being deported. This comes dhs secretary Alejandro Mayorkas visits the border not here in eagle pass but he was in mcallen, texas part of the Rio Grande Valley talking about actions they are taking like increasing deportations in 800 activeduty troops to the border. But obviously things are not under control right now but that is why you got other places like el paso, the mayor they are saying they have reached quote a breaking point. Arthel will take it back here it live from the border, thank you griffin. Eric Alejandro Mayorkas visited the customs and Border Protection he was joined by the honduran president who tried to discuss the recent surge of migrants at the bar this comes as House Republicans they have been investigating and the administration handling of immigration at the Southern Border. They claim the border it was a close. As we have seen that is not what we see, david spot live at the white house with more on the north lawn. No question the Border Crisis has been a massive headache not only for members of this administration and the white house but democrats coming in washington as well. The bottom line for the border is the chaotic situation there has to end. We need to do that on a bipartisan basis for. Trumpet went too much to the right by doing the separation of families and kids. I think of President Biden and the administration not doing enough. A new abc gives a President Biden just a 23 Approval Rating for his handling of this Border Crisis down from 28 seven months ago. But things are tough for republicans on the border with a small group of republicans hoping to shut down the government over odds with that man right there House Speaker kevin mccarthy. Kevin mccarthy is quiche furious saying that will have effects on the border. Meanwhile President Biden who spent the weekend here in washington at the white house. And just two days will head to michigan to meet with picketers who have been picketing for several weeks. Members of the United Auto Workers union are outside at the steady picket light outside General Motors the Parent Company of chrysler and jeep. Uaw announced some progress with the fort and the Union President looks forward to seeing a nether president , that is the president of the united states. Our invitation to anyone today including the white house to Come And Join Us on the picket line, thats an invitation for anybody. That is where you see supports. Proof is in the action. The white house originally had negotiators in the president s team planned to go to detroit to hash things out between the union and auto Giants Riesling pulled them back instead president will go and show solidarity in addition to a 36 pay increase the auto autows also want a defined pension plan that seems to have taken a backseat at the table. But this is only intensifying as this goes on, the strike. Eric r8 david thank you. To be five as a promise will bring in a former u. S. Border patrol chief ron vitiello. Hehe is former acting isa director. I have several things i want to get through with you. This agreement between u. S. And mexico purportedly with mexico agreeing to deport migrants back to their home countries from Border Cities with the goal to what they called depressurized cities like eagle pass where we just saw griffin. El paso and san diego. And mexico again reportedly will implement measures to keep migrants from hopping trains to get here. Im not sure what you know about this. It is not everything but is this something can it help . Outsourcing this a problem to mexico is a big problem. You want to talk about where these folks are coming from. You want to talk about root causes. What is not a disagreement that i have seen us are going to control their Southern Border like they did in the last administration. 25000 National Guard troops. So yes, relieving the cities and war as, tijuana and all those is fine. Thats going to help the people on the ground down there. Is not going to end of the problem is not going to keep people out of the pipeline. They keep people off of the train, then dont just use smugglers, buses and trucks and Dangerous Vehic vehicle succumbe southwest border. What needs to happen is that each got to the root cause the needs go after why these people are coming and the need to put in place, there needs to be consequences for people across the border illegally. If you let a third of everyone who shows up at the border or more into the united states, with a promise to appear at some date in the future they succeeded in that just encourages more people to come. That has to end. That is with the policy they inherited and they have broken it all down. This is what the results are. Arthel meanwhile as you know four days ago the Defense Department announced they are sending at least 800 new active personnel to the border for the going to enforce the 2500 National Guard members already there. Is there presence alone enough to deter and curb the overwhelming number of illegal crossings we are seeing . It worked in 2019. If you dont think it can work now, how best can we use our Uniformed Service members down and to make a difference of the Southern Border . 800 on top of what is there the people theyre not stopping the flow. Because again the root cause is the policy of this administration. I am grateful the National Guard is down there upping my former colleagues. It is a rich history of us using soldiers in these roles but they will not stop people from coming across the border. They will add and help the operator. As an operator you want more boots on the ground. This will not end until the policy changes. I am afraid this is an additive to the operation but nothing thats going to solve the problem that we have. Arthel you know this, Under Federal Statute The Department Departmentopponent Security Andt Biden can temporarily close the particular ports of entry along the Southern Border to protect national interest. There are limitations. However do you think he Biden Administration would have the support from the majority of americans to temporarily seal sections of the Southern Border . Subordinate communities are up against this. Closing their for business and commerce in places like eagle pass and laredo where i was stationed. If you shut the ports of entry down theres Economic Impact both sides of the border. Again its not going to stop this problem. Heres an example pay the president has been involved in government since 1973. He ran for office many times. He was a senator for a long time. He was a Vice President during the last surge. I could not believe for a sack and he does not know its going out the southwest border in the sense this chaos has continued from day one he took office. And has done nothing to relieve what is going on in the pipeline. Droves of the people every 24 hours about 6000 people cross the border illegally. Those are only the ones encountered by the Border Patrol. That does not count for all the other people that are getting away. It does not count for the fentanyl that is getting away and being smuggled across the border. It does not account for the people being trafficked by smugglers. This is a big problem and it has been a big problem for this is someone who knew better. 2014 had unprecedented surge of families that are southwest border. He was the Vice President , Alejandro Mayorkas was a deputy at dhs. They know what fix the problem in 2015 but they refused to do what they know works. Why . Arthel is 62 of americans disapprove of bidens handling of the Southern Border. You menti mentioned, we talked t the notion of showing pictures and sending a message of showing people being deported because theyre coming here illegally. You seem to think that would help. Im Running Out Of Time if you could quickly close for me on what do you really think could help now . I get it President Biden according to 60 of people polled these not doing the job right. What could we do right now to help fix this . They could reinstate the protocols pretty want to leverage mexico to keep people in mexico until they have their hearing. They cannot be released into the Night Say Sale stop coming. Its happened every time weve done it. In 2014 we have specific Detention Centers to people are peoplecoming and wanted a s. We held them until they had their court dates. They stopped coming and if they are not released into the united states. Arthel you are saying retain them and mexico, is that what you are saying is the best . In mexico or in detention. That is worth every time they have tried it. They rip this down when they took it over and this is the result of it. Arthel look, it is complicated but will bring you back its definitely a problem americans are tired of this problem and is to get solved. Former border pool Border Patrol chief ron vitiello thank you for joining us.

A woman with a history of arrests for trespassing in the wetland areas. This all occurred on friday near largo, florida right outside of tampa. A place where there is known to be alligators. Residents say theyve never seen anything like this. This as you said was a massive alligator. It ended up measuring 13 feet eight and a half inches. It really shocked at the local community because it was paddling down a canal along a residential streets. That alarmed neighbors, called the Fire Department they called fish and while officers who came in. They pulled that gator and the half corpse out of the water. Shot it multiple times, killed or put on a Flatbed Truck and measured at more than 13 feet. Gators are common in florida and all 67 counties. But fatal attacks on humans are rare. Just 26 since the end of world war ii. I never would have dreamt and alligator would be in this area. Of course i know there is a lake over across the street and i know about the lake in taylor park. But not in this neighborhood, no i never wouldve thought that. Experts advise if you do find yourself in the jaws of a gator to fight back and target the eyes and hope of gaining release, arthel back to you. Arthel steve harriga
