59 and 60s. the nicaraguans, like me, who came in the 80s. the venezuelans coming now and so many influxes of immigrants fleeing left-wing totalitarian, thuggish regimes. you check off a box and you get brownie points with nicaraguans, cubans, all of whom are voters. it s an issue that matters for us. and the interesting part is, you know, but for cuba, nicaragua and venezuela, there hasn t been a dictator that donald trump has met that he hasn t liked. the difference is that cubans, venezuelans and nicaraguans vote in a purple state that usually comes down to the wire where you can win or lose an election by 534 votes, by less than a percentage point. what we ve seen repeatedly, the theme we ve seen repeatedly used in florida and now nationwide is

known about this program and influxes at the border, they re unpredictable. our job is to be prepared. reporter: the department of health and human services is looking to open five more shelters in atlanta, dallas, houston, and san antonio. in san antonio, local officials are exasperated. it s already cost more than a quarter million dollar since march. should taxpayers in eooting the bill for this? in a perfect world, the federal government would own the entire finish. here, this new facility is holding more than00 will be 1,300. thank you. president trump won a major legry today when a federal appeals court dismissed a lawsuit that alleged his washington, d.c. hotel violated the constitution. two democratic attorneys general had accused the president of illegally profiting from government guests at the trump
