say the administration's immigration policies are to blame. >> it's the biden open border policies that are inviting even more illegal immigration and actually have created this humanitarian crisis. the border patrol officers told me that the biden administration policies they are enriching and they empowering the drug cartels in mexico. arthel: we'll get into this with our fox team coverage. griff jenkins is near the border in texas. david spunt is following the president in wilmington, delaware. what are you hearing. >> reporter: president biden is touting the covid relief, the $1.9 trillion covid relief package. the border is something the president will have to focus on. this is a big deal that fema is getting involved. it shows that the administration cannot ignore the influx of unaccompanied children at the southern border, no question about this at all. homeland security secretary, alejandro mayorkas, made the announcement yesterday that he's directing fema to shelter and take care of the unaccompanied children for at least the next 90 days, the news announced last night by fema. housing facilities for children exhibit completely overwhelmed, arthel. when president biden took office, gone was the policy of turning away unaccompanied children, put in place by the trump administration. in many cases these children have nothing, no relatives in the united states, no possessions and in some of these cases they are not being turned away. homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas says in some cases they are being turned away, in a statement he said to protect the health and safety of migrants and communities from the spread of covid-19, individuals apprehended at the border continue to be denied entry and are returned. that is true in some cases. if you look at the numbers from customs and border protection in february alone, it shows out of 100,000 total encounters, around 9500 are unaccompanied minors so clearly some are making their way in. >> they're sending fema as reinforcement, not for today, not for tomorrow but for three weeks from now. what is clear, there can be no equivocation when sending a message, it has to be our border is closed. >> reporter: news that fema will house unaccompanied children calls in attention the fate of a fort lee plan, an army post that military post under consideration to house some of these children. there's no official request to use fort lee. administration officials recently conducted a site survey. it's not clear that fema may but involved on the southern border, may put fort he lee out of the equation. when you talk about fema, fema is known for federal disasters, natural disasters. that's the primary responsibility. they'll be dealing with this for at least the next three months. hurricane season kicks in in june. it remains to be seen how fema can handle both. right now they feel confident they can handle both tasks. arthel: we'll keep an eye on it for sure. david spunt, thank off. eric -- thank you. eric. eric: residents and business owners in southern texas are raising security concerns about what is happening there. this comes as federal agents have made a major drug bust we're told near the border last week. they seized a large stash of marijuana, cocaine and meth. griff jenkins has been reporting for us near the border in mission, texas. you showed us an opening to the fence and the stunning fact that the cafe owner where you are that sees migrants lounging and sleeping at outside tables and one woman even gave birth outside. >> reporter: that's right. i'm going to let you hear from lupe carera in a moment. this has been very active today. about 45 minutes ago my cameraman and i were on foot, pursuing some of the traffic that they had. they had three people that they caught. if you want to go up in the sky from our drone, you may be able to see some of the white and green border patrol trucks riding along the levy, just about a half mile to a mile from where that levy is south, is the rio grande river where the migrants are coming across in almost record numbers right now and certainly record numbers for this time of year and governor greg abbott was on earlier today with maria and here's what he had to say about all of this. listen. >> the border patrol officers told me that the biden administration policies, they are enriching and they are empowering the drug cartels in mexico who make money off of the people that they assist in smuggling them into the state of texas. the cartels make money off of these migrants. >> reporter: speaking of those drugs, not just on this past thursday, the dea down here making a major bust seizing 308 pounds of marijuana, 18 pounds of methamphetamine and 88 pounds of cocaine. we had the opportunity to see the drugs and to speak with a special agent in charge, richard sanchez, who had this to say. >> cartels are not going to stop. we're not going to stop either. what they need to know is we're here and we're not going to go away. we'll continue to do our job. >> reporter: and let me just show you since you asked, eric, this is the bar, lupe cabrera is the owner. the family has had this bar for 64 years on the patio, he says he has seen people sleeping there, many mornings and the aforementioned woman that gave birth two and-a-half months ago. he told us very interesting to hear what happens when the migrants get on this side from his experience. here's what he said. listen. >> i had a family that i knew that was crossed over and then the same guy that crossed them over charged them money and a month later went back there and extorted more money because he told her i know where you live, i could send border patrol to you, the same guy that crossed them. >> reporter: unbelievable. so they have to pay to get across the river to the smugglers, then they're extorted when they get on this side. the other news, we've been watching and david spunt was talking about earlier, the unaccompanied minors, they play a big role in the migrants they're apprehending here. it could be north of 170,000 unaccompanied children by the time we get towards the end of the surge and we're only getting started, remember, because april and may are the heaviest traffic months of the traditional time of year. eric. eric: griff, before you go, will you give us a tour of that fence. we got the drone up. it's unbelievable, the fence is only a certain amount. and the rest of it is totally open of. you see where they drive through. there's not much of a fence, it's like -- you can drive a ton of -- take a look at that. there's no fence really there. you can go on either side. tell us about that. >> reporter: you can. so this is a unique situation because if you look from the drone, eric, that's a very good question, you have the river comes up to the levy which is south of where we're standing. then you have this wide open valley and then they essentially created a levy and a levy wall here. now, what they've got is enough fencing that they needed simply to sort of keep the flow of traffic because remember if you're a migrant coming at nighttime, you can't see where you're going. the border patrol knows where they are. they have certain ways of corralling the migrants so they can watch them and put them where they want, that way only a few are trying to he evade the system that they've got. while it looks incomplete, it's very, very structured, very organized and well thought-out to give border patrol officials the benefit of the doubt because it's not like a land border where you put a wall up to keep them from coming you across a certain area. they have to stop them from coming across the river. the hole we showed you was a hole that was used bus the construction trucks were coming in and out when they were building it, they intended to close that but they did not get to finish it because biden came in and stopped all construction. eric. eric: yeah, as you point out, the trump wall dead because the biden administration has as you said stopped it. griff jenkins right near the border, live in mission, texas. thanks so much, griff. arthel. arthel: house speaking nancy pelosi speaking out on the scandal surrounding new york governor andrew cuomo this morning on abc, saying he must, quote, look inside his heart to decide if he should resign. meanwhile, new york governor andrew cuomo remains he defiant as more members of his own party demand his resignation. the list growing, as a seventh woman comes forward regarding sexual harassment. let's go to alex hogan, live in new york city with more. hi, alex. >> reporter: hi, arthel. well, chuck schumer says he supports all of the women speaking out this morning, he commended their bravery. he also said new york like everywhere during the pandemic deserves a leader with strong skills right now that they can depend on. chuck schumer is joining the long list of lawmakers calling on cuomo to resign. >> there are multiple serious credible allegations of abuse so that governor cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners and of so many new yorkers, so for the good of the state he should resign. >> reporter: more than 100 new york lawmakers say they want cuomo out of office. this week, new york state assembly speaker carl hasty approved the start of an impeachment investigation. nancy pelosi commenting today as well, striking a slightly different tone. >> people have to look inside themselves and say -- and governor cuomo also, -- how effective is there leadership in leading the state under the circumstances that are there. but i do think the women deserve to hear the results of these investigations as does the governor. >> reporter: half a dozen women accuse governor cuomo of harassment, inappropriate behavior or advances, other women describe a toxic or hostile work environment. linde di boylen -- lindsey boylen tweeted this was the worst place to be. and according to the state attorney general, the cuomo administration under-reported covid-19 deaths and delayed sharing the information. this is cuomo's third term as governor. if he finishes it, it would match the legacy of his father, mario cuomo. cuomo repeated this week that he will not step down. >> i have been under public scrutiny since i was 23 years old. and ran my father's campaign. new yorkers know me. wait for the facts. wait for the facts. then you can have an opinion. >> reporter: that is something that we have heard the governor repeat, simply asking new yorkers to wait for the facts that come out of this investigation. his administration continues to say that they are focusing on passing the budget, of course the vaccine rollout just within the last week, new york administered more than 1 million new doses. arthel. arthel: and in a few moments we're going to talk with the new york state senate minority leader about the push to get governor cuomo to resign. we'll have that coming up soon. alex, in the meantime we thank you for that live report. take care. eric: and washington, president biden signed the nearly $2 trillion stimulus package the other week. he's looking to build on that, pushing for a new infrastructure bill. during the campaign, the president promised to spend another trillion dollars on infrastructure. now he hopes to get bipartisan support for that, something that was lacking in the stimulus bill. mark meredith reporting in washington with the very latest on the new plan. hi, mark. >> reporter: eric, good afternoon. in the days ahead, president biden is expected to urge congress to spend billions if not a whole lot more investing in infrastructure. the question becomes of course will congress end up getting on-board. infrastructure is normally an issue that both parties are willing to work on or at least talk about. republicans are likely to question the cost especially as you mentioned congress spending nearly 2 trillion on the latest stimulus bill. democrats will likely push forward with the plan as they control the house and senate. house speaker nancy pelosi says a bipartisan bill is possible. >> so i put out the -- called upon my chairs of the committees of jurisdictions to reach out to the republicans to see what we can do as we have traditionally done in a bipartisan way. this is about broad band, it's about water systems, mass transit, about good paying jobs all over the country. >> reporter: like the stimulus, though, republicans may argue any future bill will contain too much money for democratic priorities. some republicans are already speaking against any potential tax hikes and conservatives may also have issues with any climate change provisions included. some gop lawmakers say they're eager to hear what the white house ends up laying out. >> we're hoping to get more than 10 republicans. the president wants to work with us. we want to work with them. i don't know what the topline number will be. we need a robust plan, that's for sure. but we've got to pay for it. >> reporter: as for how the administration will approach congress and when, that still those be worked out. we will hear more about those efforts later on or in the weeks ahead. eric: we'll be hearing about it. thanks so much. arthel: violent protests breaking out on the west coast, the overnight chaos and whether there could be more in the days ahead. plus, president biden relying on fema to help deal with the recent spike in migrants at our southern border, why top republicans say

i mean, what's the first step beyond what they've done? >> well, they're looking for anywhere they can find beds that they can use to house these unaccompanied minors who are coming over the border. i mean, everything they're saying says there's no emergency. that everything they're doing says there's an emergency. fema obviously is the federal emergency management agency. so they're trying to find some way to increase capacity. one thing they're not doing is trying to limit the number of children who are coming across the border and the adults who are behind that, an 8-year-old child does not wake up in the morning and say i think i'll cross illegally into the united states today. there are adults behind this. the administration rather than trying to stop this, is trying to increase the capacity here on the u.s. side of the border. >> i understand your point. >> for children who come over here to stay. arthel: right now you have more than 3200 migrant children in the border facilities at the border and they're trying the to make sure -- they're not supposed to hold them beyond three days but half of them have already reached and sured passed that limit. they're trying to accommodate the crisis at hand. senator cassidy of louisiana saying that the message has to be clear that the border is closed. so here's another way to look at it. if president biden goes to the source, what's the approach with mexico, the northern triangle countries, honduras, el salvador, guatemala, how can the u.s. assist those governments to quell those problems at the root. >> when you hear people -- in my opinion, when you hear officials like jen psaki, the white house spokeswoman said this several times, the biden administration is going to attack the root problems, the roots causes of this migration. that means they don't really know quite what to do now. and fixing rot causes takes a long -- root causes takes a long time, making some of these countries into stable, democratic, peaceful, affluent states will take a very long time and in the meanwhile we have all of these children and others coming to the united states illegally and if i might add one thing, i think we could use a lot more press coverage of this and i don't mean that the press doesn't want to cover it but the biden administration is not allowing. arthel: i get your point. i don't know that they're not allowing press. everyone has freedom to go to the border and report on the situation. >> have you seen the photos? arthel: i understand that. listen, the point here is i have you on byron because i think you have a good mind and i think you may having to add to the conversation in terms of fixing the problem. not just doing the blame game. that's been the problem so far because this crisis at the border has been a persistent problem across multiple administrations, now it is on president biden's watch and he has to do something about it. if the northern triangle countries, those governments can't stem the flow, then specifically what do you think physically, tactically, strategically, what kind of steps the biden administration can take to stem that flow, to fix the problem right now. you're right, there is a big problem with messaging and the human smugglers are taking advantage of it, parents are taking advantage of it. they seem to think because he did roll back some trump immigration policies, they seem to think let's go to america, now's the time to do it. how can they fix that? >> the trump administration came up with a plan of forcing people who were asylum seekers and most are denied asylum, a large majority do not receive asylum in the united states. they came up with the plan to wait outside the united states while the cases were considered. and the biden administration has done away with that. i'm not sure exactly short of building enormous facilities here in the united states or just releasing people into the united states to live with either families or people who will take them, i'm not sure that there actually is another solution. i will say one thing. problems get solutions when there is an outrage over them. and if you remember with the whole trump kids in cages thing, the administration acted very quickly when that became a huge controversy. and from the washington post, in recent days there have been more than 3,500 unaccompanied teens and children stranded in steel and concrete detention cells designed for you adults. if we had press coverage of those f we had photos of those, there would be outrage, i think. and then you might have quicker action. arthel: well, there's a lot to unpack there. i think people are outraged. i think the media is covering it. we're definitely covering it. it needs the attention. i hope that the biden administration will continue to push. i hear you, that perhaps they should not have kind of allowed them to come in, maybe keep holding them in mexico, like was happening in the former administration but, listen, we're going to keep watching. i want to make sure we have conversation that's we can try to move this forward because nobody wants an open border, nobody wants that? right? right. byron york, thank you very much. >> thank you. arthel: eric. eric: in new york, governor andrew cuomo he is digging in despite the growing number of lawmakers who say he must go. straight ahead, new york state senate republican minority leader robert horn is here, he is calling for cuomo's impeachment now. how and what comes next, straight ahead. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a short list of quality candidates from our resume database. claim your seventy five dollar credit, when you post your first job at indeed.com/home. tempur-pedic's mission is to give you truly transformative sleep. so, no more tossing and turning... because only tempur-pedic's proprietary material adapts and responds to your body. so you get deep, uninterrupted sleep. during the luxe event save $300 on our most premium mattresses. so you're a small business, during the luxe event or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back?

what comes next. >> thanks for having me, eric. it's a great question. i think that is why i was one of the first legislators and my whole conference now has called to move, if he does not resign, to move towards impeachment in the assembly because that's the only way. if he is not willing to resign at this point, i don't know what else it would take. i don't know if it would take speaker pelosi who stopped short of it this morning, if it would take a call from the white house but every other new york elected leader, republican, democrat, senator schumer this morning doubled down, calling on him to resign, but he has said obviously that he will not. if he does not go of his own volition, if he does not resign which is the right thing to do given all that we know, two investigations, multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, a coverup into 15,000 deaths in nursing homes, if he is not willing to go then the legislature those take action and begin the process to forcibly remove him. eric: some say this is you reap what you sow. you know how he operates firsthand. i covered the cuomos for years. he's described as being vindictive, relentless, punishing, seeks vengeance and revenge, even on his own a al. it's historic that two senators came out of together, there are reports that say the democrats wanted to come out en masse because they knew if they do it individually he'll come after them like he allegedly went after assemblyman ron kim. >> no he question. assemblyman ron kim who you mentioned when he recounted that phone call, i don't think there was anyone in albany that either had covered albany, covered the governor in an elected position that didn't believe that that call happened exactly the way ron kim recounted it. i have never received a phone call like that but i know many colleagues who have and so, look, it's a reap what you sow, like my mom used to say when i was a kid, what goes around, comes around. this is someone who didn't have a lot of friends. people did things because they were afraid or they thought it was their advantage to be aligned with him. that is no longer the case. i think that's why you're seeing democrats and republicans uniformly saying you need to go, he's a huge distraction. we should be talking about reopening our economy. we should be talking about getting people back to work, getting people vaccinated. we should be talking about the state budget. instead, we're talking about all of his scandals and the investigations and that's why he should resign and again, if he refuses to do so, we have an obligation to begin to forcibly remove him. eric: of course, he does have the ability to rely on due process but at the same time are you surprised that a lot of the democrats didn't jump on the bandwagon until these allegations, the new allegations came up? i mean, you're talking about allegations of coverup and 15,000 deaths, allegations of incompetent policy that put people who are covid positive into nursing homes and not properly cared for and allegation that's the administration tried to hide the numbers to keep it secret from the legislature, didn't tell you guys and from the public and basically his administration and he basically lied for months, are you surprised that that has not been the generating issue behind the efforts to get him out? >> i am. and i'm not. having been in albany for six years, knowing my colleagues across the aisle, look, they were very unwilling to challenge this governor on those nursing home deaths, on the data. they didn't subpoena one administration official for the information which we now know they had for months. and so it was cowardly, it was speckless, our conference has been calling for independent investigations for months. we finally now have that. but we have that i think in some regard too late or later than we should have. and it's surprising also that it took seven -- multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. when you think of what happened over the past year, going back whether it was brett kavanaugh or others, it took several allegations from women who worked for this governor to get members on the other side of the aisle to finally come out and say that's enough. i think that speaks to maybe some cowardace, i think it speaks to the fear that you referenced of this governor to speak out against him even when it was morally right to do so. eric: and maybe wonder if that's the governor trying to ping you now, to yell at you about this interview. >> you never know. eric: this obviously will continue. take care. arthel: a peaceful dem vacation in louis -- demonstration in louisville, kentucky led by breonna taylor's mother, it marked one year since police killed breonna taylor during a botched no knock raid of her apartment. to date, no police have been held responsible for breonna's death. what you're seeing here, some rioters used the date to sow chaos on the west coast with some protesters seen smashing store windows in los angeles. let's go to charles watson with us now, covering all of this. >> reporter: as you mentioned, numerous arrests were made as police in los angeles, seattle and portland clashed with protesters who were marking the one year anniversary of breonna taylor's death at the hands of louisville police officer. there were hundreds of people in louisville and other cities marching in the street. by night fall, chaos erupted in the streets, where some demonstrators were seen smashing store windows, other throw rocks at police officers, others were jumping on top of a police cruiser as it sped away. the seattle police department said it had to make more than a dozen arrest as protesters there confronted officers, some allegedly smashing windows and graffitiing property. at one point, officers were seen spraying protesters with what appears to be an eye irritant as the two sides get into a physical confrontation. a similar situation in portland last night where breonna taylor protests started off mostly peaceful but descended into chaos. police were seen physically pushing protesters after officers repeatedly tried to disburse the crowd, this following protests one night earlier that saw police detain people and make arrests as people were vandalizing property. president biden calling for police reform, the president tweeting, quote, breonna taylor's death was a tragedy, a blow to her family, the community and america. as we continue to mourn her we must press ahead to have police reform. as this was going on, the fbi in louisville field office did tweet yesterday and said that investigators are making significant progress in the civil rights probe into taylor's death. arthel: charles watson, thank you for that report. eric. eric: arthel, remembering legendary boxing champion, marvelous marvin hagler, he has died. no official cause of death was given. he legally did change his name to marvelous, he was 52 and 3 with 52 knockouts from 1973 to 1987. one of his most memorable bouts was in thomas herns in 1985. it lasted less than 8 minutes. marvelous marvin hagler was 66 years old. my name is trisha. i'm 70 and i live in mill valley, california. my biggest passion is gardening. i love to be outdoors. i have jaybirds that come when i call. i know how important it is to feed your body good nutrition. i heard about prevagen and i heard about the research behind it. taking prevagen, i have noticed that i can think clearly. my memory is better. i can say that prevagen is one of the most outstanding supplements i've ever taken. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes was knocking me out of my zone, but lowering my a1c with once-weekly ozempic® helped me get back in it. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic® ♪ my zone?

>> no, no, they don't have the will to do that. i wish they did but they don't. we've seen it. there were several times during the trump administration when he laid on the table, for example, da. daca. a lot of republicans didn't want to do it. i did. i thought it was a good approach. the president gave the democrats more than they asked for and they walked away. they didn't want to do it because they didn't want president trump to get credit. the wall that they hated so much until they built one in washington, d.c. or around nancy pelosi's house, which they said was immoral until it was theirs, it was working. it was keeping control. it's not just to keep people out. it's to make sure that the people that we do let in are the people that we want to let in. right now, the inability to control that border, arthel, has five components. kids, cages, cartels, coyotes, and covid. we're telling people that by july 4th we might get to have eight or so people for a hot dog in our backyard. you got thousands of people jammed up in facilities, overwhelmed and not being tested and not wearing masks. i don't buy it that the biden administration thinks that the covid issue is the number one if they're not taking care of it as the border. arthel: well, i mean, listen, you're right, you raise so many issues including a lot of people crowding there in florida for spring break with no masks. there's that issue. you talk about the walls. there's the so-called trump wall, there's the retractable fence around the capitol due the insurrection. those are two separate issues. i get your point, sir. governor huckabee, i have to go unfortunately. i'm asking you, maybe is there any way you as -- i believe an influential republican to try to get -- get some word out to everybody to get the word out for the sake of the country. >> it would be great for all of us if that would happen. arthel: i hope so. thank you, nice to talk to you. i think we're going to go to a break right now. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa ♪ what's the #1 retinol brand we're made for. used most by dermatologists?
