eric adams for shipping migrants to his community. by the way, a community that isn t friendly to this sort of stuff or had a remotely heads up on this stuff. he will be joining us in just a few minutes. welcome. i m neil cavuto. this is your world. this of course 72 hours ahead of title 42 going away at the border and already prompting nightmare scenarios at the border that could get worse as the days drag on. the very latest right now on all of this from bill melugin in brownsville, texas. bill? neil, good afternoon to you. border patrol says in just a three-day span over the week and, they made more than 26,000 migrant apprehensions. that s almost 9,000 every single day. we haven t seen these numbers since the haitian crisis under the bridge in del rio two years ago. remember, last week, the white house claimed that i m legal immigration is down 90% that is not the case whatsoever. case in point, take a look at this video. our team shot it in brownsville. one of the bi
