would have done it in a matter of moments. it s a very effective but only if you have the agents in the film to apprehend the individuals. but because the administration continues to pander to open border activists, our agents are doing administrative duties, hospital watch, transport, all things we shouldn t be doing and out on the border with those individuals would have been apprehended. rich: is that because the systems overwhelmed because it s an overwhelming number of people coming across? or has the department of homeland security changed your mission explicitly? no, simply because we are being overwhelmed. you look at this time, historically, right now we should be apprehending between 30-40000 people every month. that s a very small number compared to what we are apprehending. we are at 200,000 and we are overwhelmed once we hit 50,000, but at 200,000. that s what s pulling all the resources out.
resources become available, and not needed in one state, we ll forward deploy them and move them to the next state in greatest need. this is a constant evaluation, making sure that we can try to stay ahead of the anticipated need and get the resources in place ahead of time. are you thinking other states will need these resources? i think it is probably a good possibility that we re going to see additional states as we have seen these surges, they spread in a wave across the country. we have been doing this again since day one, sending resources out, moving them from one state to the next, in order to help all of those hospitals maintain the level of care that they need to. so what do you do if some of these staff members end up sick themselves. they have protocols in place to make sure that we re protecting our workforce as well as those that they re treating. it is not uncommon to see some of the individuals get covid and then they isolate just as anybody else would. yeah,
that is open today in pennsylvania inside a former automotive shop at state college. tell us more about this spike. we also know nearly 46,000 students are going to be returning to state college this week from around the world. how worried are officials there about this? reporter: yeah, i think health officials concern hasn t really gone away over the last few months and to that point, mt. nittany medical center here in state college is seeing more covid patients right now than they saw at this time last year. most of those patients are unvaccinated but we re here at a covid testing site, a former sears automotive center turned into a covid testing site and that s a point of all this, right? this is the epitome of getting the resources out, into the communities, into the places that need them the most and boy does pennsylvania need that right now. we are seeing a lot of positive cases across the state, as you mentioned, 6,000 cases every single day this week. that s up 60% from what
effort but a senior state department official tells us that they disbanded that unit. all in the face of americans being left behind. maria, we did create a unit. it was really well done. it was an important team we put together. it was in response to what i had seen whenpo i was a young congressman he when we saw an american diplomat killed in benghazi, libya. we need to put resources on the ground. this administration will have to explain why they didn t want to follow us down that path. look, as for why the state department was in charge, it temakes sense to put the state department in charge of getting diplomats and resources out. but more importantly than who is in charge, in the end the commander in chief is in charge. itnd was president biden s responsibility to provide the resources and the political freedom and the space for our military and our state department to make sure we got every american out.
