he is enabling mass shooters. biden administration has destabilized the southern border. it s a lie when administration officials claim they have operational control over the southern border. mexican drug cartels have control of the southern border. they have allowed it to worsen. they have actually refused to take any action to meaningfully secure our southern border. there is a war at our southern border and right now we are losing it. sandra: begin america reports with slamming biden for surrendering the southern border to the mexican drug cartels. i m sandra smith in new york. great to have you here, trace. trace: they argue biden could have cracked down on the cartels and drug smuggling by putting pressure on mexico s president when they met earlier this month but he failed to do so. sandra: those lawmakers also say open borders have helped turn human trafficking operations into a multi-billion dollar business for the cartels, which has made them even more of
we have a secure border. the border is secure. we have taken unprecedented action over the past year and a half to secure our border. the border remains closed. it is not open. we re turning away the majority of adults. we have a process in place to manage migrants at the border. bill: arrests are surging and so are the number of so-called gotaways. new numbers show nearly a million evaded detection since president biden took office. allowing so many to disappear into the u.s. and this is nothing new. julie: you re right. bill hundreds of these migrants crossing the rio grande in broad daylight. border patrol doesn t have enough agents to process the folks. the situation is completely deteriorating. migrants used a rope to cross the river some carrying infants. a free for all. if people can get across the river they can walk in. the bus pulling out now is full of unaccompanied children and young teenagers. julie: his relentless coverage at the southe
even though the president was face-to-face with the fed chair today, he says he s still staying hands off. my plan is simple, respect the fed, respect its independence which i will continue to do. even though biden wanted interest rates raised is not an economic cure without its own side effects. put jerome powell in a box. they have to raise interest rates. when they raise interest rates, it makes it harder to buy a home, usually make the stock market go down as we ve seen. and that will affect people s 401(k)s. jerome powell doesn t have a lot of options. republicans say the best option to get inflation under control is to get government spending under control. the white house today is not second guessing any past spending. do you think that any part of inflagrants this year is because of president biden s spending plan or is it all putin s fault? brian just spoke to this. we re at a historic place when it comes to the economy. now we re going to a place where i
