resources as migrants overwhelm the border there. here s the state s lieutenant governor on fox. we were in good shape on the border bill before biden got elected. we were in good shape. the protocols were working, keeping the asylum seekers in mexico. this is not a crisis. this is a full blown disaster that they ve created. this is the worst high. we ve had higher peaks. this is the worst. what really makes it bad is that there s no end in sight. john: in a moment, we ll talk with the mayor of one texas town who was told to tell his residents to raise hell to get more help. sandra: first to william la jeunesse. he s at the border in southern california. william? reporter: agents tell me they are so busy processing children, unlike a quick covid turn back, which takes minutes. they are not on the line and incenterivizing struggling organizations since they don t have the man power. there s a cost associated to all the images you are seeing beyond the food and shelter

the white house has now started this new spin where they are saying hey, no republicans voted for the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan and there is a bunch of money in there to hire cops. of course, that s not how they sold it they said everybody is going to get a $1,400 check for vaccination for a blue state bailout. not one republican voted for that. but, nonetheless, they are spinning it that the republicans are the ones defunding the cops. but, dr. porcher, i don t remember any republicans talk like this as we watch this montage of democrats. yes. i support of the defund movement. because this is about the investment in our communities which have historically been divested. not only do we need to defund but we need to dismantle and start anew. why would you say use the word defund? this is the word that s coming from the street. look, the reality is we can t
