does the administration say we have to go back to what was working? it clearly not working and brought us not to believe what we are seeing with our own eyes, i don t know if they are going to reverse it, i don t have the imagination to explain why they did what they did knowing full well the search would occur so how do we fix it? there some states taking it on in federal court and congress needs to act and give authority for the remain in mexico program and put into legislation and their poles exploited now by criminal cartel and this policy. if congress could sure that up with legislation, obviously they re not even talking about it and you can t see the administration making any move to alleviate this. it s unfortunate for the men and women of dhs to pick up the pieces for this reckless abandonment of policies evading

to working with you going down to the district also. we just had a phone call. i have always told the administration i m a democrat, i ve been very respectful about the administration. i said you don t have to listen to me. i want you to listen to the border communities and i want you to listen to the men and women of dhs and their families. this weekend i spent three hours with agents and their families and especially their families and they don t need pats on the back they need help down there on the border. today we had a phone call, i want to thank the senator and his staff for being there because i want people to hear from my local communities. i want you to hear. so we had folks from hidalgo county with the epi center, county judge and commissioners and mayors, police chiefs and other folks there. we went to another county,
democrat congressman henry cuyler. it s not fair to my local communities, and we make sure we communicate each other and what i m asking on the biden administration is to do a pause, do a pause, they need to prioritize border communities and they need to prioritize that men and women of dhs. henry cuellar is a democratic congressman speaking out. that s his response to the growing chaos but first we go to rich edson who joins us live in la joya, texas. rich? and julie, they are seeing four to 500 migrants are printed in large groups here and this is all part of the rio grande valley where last week the larger sector thought 20,000 apprehensions here.
encounters in one week. what happened is that as the story, la jolla is in my district. i talked to the officials this afternoon. we re going to talk again friday. what is happening is when border patrol drops folks off at a charity, the charity gets overloaded and then they drop them off at a hotel without telling the local officials. that s not right. the charity needs to tell the local officials especially if there are covid positive. it s not fair to by local communities, people being released there that might have covid-19. we need to just make sure that we communicate with each other. what i m asking on the biden administration is to do a pause. do a pause. they need to prioritize border communities, they need to prioritize the men and women of dhs. they need to prioritize our border communities and dhs.
