madrid to ask for asylum. people coming north stop in costa rica and panama, mexico which is somehow still considered a safe country. other places where they could ask for asylum and they should be required to do so. so you believe that particular point could have broad bipartisan support? i really do. it makes sense. if we don t make this political we could fix it. this what is happening on the border is not a democratic or a republican problem. it is a american problem that requires all of us engage in a meaningful way and resolve it. listen, they are great points. i wish you great luck in not making it political. because you re right, it is an issue that needs to be dealt with for all americans. appreciate you joining us this morning and we look forward to that update. absolutely. thank you. still tom could come, thous new york city works are still off the job as the strike entered a second day. workers at one hospital say the travel nurses have not yet shown

The nursing shortage has led to a greater reliance on travel nurses that come with big price tags. Thats causing some hospitals to rethink their nursing staff retention efforts.
