Tremendous this tremendous backlog of asylum seekers and asylum claims by republicans and again some democrats as well are resistant to allocating more money for this type of immigration infrastructure until, in their view, the border is completely sealed. so think of it as a goal post that are basically on roller skates, that constantly keep moving. and meanwhile congress does not want to take the type of action we need. our presidents, trump or president obama, now president biden, they have attempted various executive actions on their own, and the only thing that really seems to result in long term is more lawsuits challenging these moves. so we end up in sort of this status quo that stays the same. it is unsustainable in the long run, and we re seeing also through decades that these deterrence-based efforts, they do not work. i m painting a bleak picture here, but the worst part of it

The economy. 58% disapprove of how the president is handling this. even worse 52% say he s willfully choosing to ignore the issue and had to have known he was coming. he s wanted this job his whole life and ran for it a number of times. i feel like only three. immigration is an important issue and knew about title 42 and knew all these things were coming. what we need is an immigration infrastructure to get everybody here he can t go it without congress. he had congress for two years. well, had congress, i think, is a little aggressive knowing what happened to two of the democrats in the senate. okay, but i mean this is an issue that they could have made some kind of compromise on. this is the thing i find fascinating republicans and democrats agree that it s broken, we might disagree on ohio we need to fix it. republicans might talk about a wall. others might talk about a path to citizenship.
Just in recent months. clearly, i think the administration has plenty of cover at the end of the day, it is a band-aid. and we need a permanent solution. my idea of doing this having the same operations i have here in my southern district do it 1500 miles away from here. this is permanent immigration infrastructure that, if we bill today, will be here for a very long time. right now, the majority of the migration is fresh honduras, guatemala and el salvador. we re the greatest condition in the world we need a permanent solution.
I want to talk to people and figure this out, whether it s a democrat or republican in office, whoever is in control. i gave this to president trump as well. at the time the administration was interested. then the pandemic hit globally and they triggered title 42 neil: wait a minute. she s in charge of dealing with the border. she s the president s point person on this. you tell her this a year ago and you haven t heard back? well, i gave it to the administration. i filed the bill finally. we re trying to get folks on both sides of the aisle on this bill and continue this conversation. when i gave it to them, title 42 was still in play. there wasn t an urgency that we have today. we need a long-term immigration infrastructure plan further away from our border. it took me a long time to get in deal with the president of guatemala. i m hoping the state department and the administration gets behind this. this is going to help us for a very long time. right now the vast majority of migrants are coming from
President morales from guatemala at the time. another president when president trump was in office. and i brought that proposal back to the white house, back to president trump at the time, and they were interested. it s a good idea, whether you re a democrat or republican. what happened, though, is we went into global covid, and they triggered title 42. and it really put a band-aid on the problem, and here we are, three, four years later, and we re dealing with the same thing. and i believe that until we have a long-term immigration infrastructure in place further away from our southern border, we will always deal with and we don t change the law, we will always be dealing with this massive influx of asylum seekers and migration on our southern border. here s hoping that your fellow lawmakers recognize the urgency of the issue here. we re going to have to leave it at that. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. thank you. a storm known as a bomb cyclone is developing right now
Until we build long-term immigration infrastructure further away from the border, we will always be dealing with this issue. people are running from poverty around the world and coming in very high numbers. i think our laws are antiquatedp and we need to fix them and create legislation that fits modern day. in the short term, the white house says that there is a plan, they re surging resources to the border. how much of this plan are you aware of and give me a gauge of your degree of confidence in the administration s plan after title 42 i m concerned, and, obviously, when we talk to officials on the border and we talk to border patrol and customs they re all concerned and concerned they will be overwhelmed if title 42 is lifted. our communities of brownsville and all along the border are concerned of how what what
