you re not voluntarily going to go back for anything. not when they have given up their life savings to get there and risked life and limb to get there. we ll see. from a state of texas standpoint, our orders are clear. the national guard stands ready. thousands of troops have been deployed. states spent billions and we have troopers deploying to say hey, you can t come between the ports of entry. we have to fill the gaps and the cartels push them across, we have to seal it off, move them down the road. martha: thanks, director. wish you all the best, sir. to congressman vincente gonzalez. he s been leading a charge to get bipartisan support to do something there and to be proactive about it. congressman, very good to have you. you think this will work out, the way things stand right now, particularly this feature where those who don t fight, you know,
severe one at the southern border in the wake of the deadly kidnapping of four americans. could be getting the inis military involved in the process. we ll have bill melugin in brownville, texas on where this could be heading. peter doocy at the white house on what the administration is seeing. last but certainly not lest, vincente gonzalez that wants to see action taken on these carteling not in the near future but like now. welcome. i m neil cavuto. glad to have you with us. bill is at the border. what can you tell us? good afternoon. there s growing bipartisan outrage about this deadly cartel attack on americans leaving two of those americans dead with republican senator lindsey graham saying that he plans to introduce legislation that would give president biden the authority to use u.s. military force against these cartels directly. meantime, we want to get you up to speed. let s take a look at these photos. this shows the moment the two
control. neil: what if we re not invited in? they say no way. at the point when our national security is at risk, we need to consider every option. i think we can begin by working aggressively with our military, with law enforcement, with our government to bring this under control. if that doesn t happen, we have to look at other options. neil: thanks very much, congressman gonzalez. just trying to find some way to advance the ball on something that has turned tragic. in the meantime, the name of the hearing says it all. worldwide threats hearing. boy, were they talking worldwide. aishah hasnie on what went down in washington today. aishah? good to see you. intelligence officials say that tik tok screams national security concerns. they don t see a reason why
specifically designated to combat narcotics trafficking organizations. we have not been afraid to use them. they would rather use the treasury department and law enforcement on this side of the bordered to combat cartel threats in the u.s. as opposed to what these republicans are talking about, taking military assets and going across the border to confront them in mexico. neil? neil: if this were isis or somebody else doing the same thing, i would expect the reaction would be slightly different. again, a lot of the time with domestic threats, they use the fbi and dhs to go find isis guys and al-quaida guys. so the way they see it, it s really not different, neil. neil: interesting. thanks very much, peter doocy. congressman vincente gonzalez joins us right now, the texas democrat trying to put this together himself in washington.
