this is the right policy. we don t want people putting their lives at danger traverse their entire way up to the border with the united states of america. we have embassies and consulates in those countries. go to those facilities and make your case, either apply for a visa and asylum. it s a safer, smarter way to do it. it will help alleviate the pain and suffering from people coming north. i do applaud mexico for stipulating up since donald trump put the pressure on him for helping secure the mexico southern border to impede that flow that s coming north. steve: yeah. ultimately though, you have got to wonder whether or not the president is going to revisit the situation with mexico because while the numbers have dropped, i think it was you know, in the last reporting period it was still more than 100,000 in a month. that would be on track for a million in a year. the numbers are so untenable. this is the major difference going into 2020. because donald trump is out
your thoughts on the current situation at our border? well, first, the money that congress may provide for more beds on our borders or more judges to process the claims of asylum, all of which are bogus, the way to prevent the crisis you see is to prevent central americans from coming to our border in the first place. i have to commend the president and secretary of state mike pompeo for the deal that we struck with mexico. using some pressure as well to get those troops in mexico up to their northern border as well as mexico southern border because they can stop the flow of central americans into their country. that is much farther away than it is to stop them getting across our border with mexico. that is the equivalent of trying to stop driving football on the goal line. stopping them on mexico southern border is like the other side of the field. the ultimate solution to this crisis. trace: i don t think people
mexico tariff deal. david sponge tracking it all, hello, david. david: breaking the maximum confirmed mexican national guard troops will head to mexico southern border with guatemala tomorrow. this just one of many parts of an agreement signed on friday that stops tariffs on mexico. but china to learn something from mexico. is the agreement it s a very simple agreement. one page, one page of a very long and good agreement for both mexico and the united states. david: part of that agreement calls for mexican officials to send 6,000 troops to the southern border with guatemala while keeping u.s. asylum-seekers in mexico while their claims are processed. without the tariffs, we would have nothing. we have nothing to weeks ago. david: white house sources told fox news mexico agreed to become a safe third country. meaning migrating through mexico would have to claim asylum in
secretary of labor hat, what do these discussions and this tone entree mean? mexico, watching china, obviously watching europe as well issues of tariffs ongoing on that continent as well? well, look, you know, it s troubling when the president is conflating trade and immigration and as you pointed out this agreement is really only goodell for 90 days or so. what we ve seen with these agreements, these international agreements the president heralded in the past, often there s less that meets the eye. i don t think this definitely removes trade tensions and certainly is doesn t solve the immigration problem as he learned with health care, immigration is complicated. it s not only about closing the border but really dealing with the underlying issues of crime and violence that are causing migrants to leave central america. and this posture of putting troops on the mexico southern border has been tried in the past. ultimately is not a wrong-term
2,825. let me take you for a walk. we are outside of the stadium where they let the migrants come for the night. it s the fork in the road for the treks from the mexico southern border to the u.s. southern border. if they go north they go into texas and eagle pass or mcallen, texas. if they go west they head to tijuana. we have to talk numbers. this one is roughly 3,000 people. that s in addition to the 12,600 migrants given a fast track temporary work visa. they are on the southern border getting their papers. they will make their way north to the u.s. border. then you have two more caravans on social media. one on february 7th and the
