>> it won't get better, when biden talks about giving amnesty to illegal immigrants and we have two bill, for this we, when we give amnesty to dreamers and when the gives amnesty to illegal farmworkers people will try to get here as quick as they can so they can be here when this amnesty happens in our country and i feel very confident it will pass the democratic, pelosi led house so it will be up to the senate and they will try to shove this through the house this weekend push over the senate in hopes they give amnesty to all the illegal people in the country. when you talk about policies like that that is going to push and illegal push from as many people as can get here during that time because if you are here in the country and we give you amnesty you will be included in that so i don't think it will slow down. i think it gets worse. we are on par to get to a number that if you take 100,000 the cayman in february they will have 4 people legally come into this country than we had combined in the last three years. that is very problematic to our nation. we don't have a border we don't have a nation at all and i don't think most americans think this is a good policy including the fact that 10% of people are testing positive for covid and we are not doing anything about that. benjamin: not to mention four arrests of people on the terror watch this. i want to put out some figures to show our figures, in february it was over 100,000, the highest since june of 2019, up 174% and if we look at the number of children coming across, unaccompanied per day it has gone up with 313 in february to 565 now. this is the worst in 20 years according to alejandro mayorkas, using the words, it is just semantics but the biden administration, is this true and why not? >> absolutely not taking it seriously, they clearly want open borders, they talked about it during the campaign, biden tried to act like a centrist or more moderate candidate and we are seeing the most progressive open border policies we have ever seen in the history of the country and we are seeing children come to the border because we have chain migration. of a child gets here and we give them citizenship because they are here is a dreamer as they like to call it which is more supportive of illegal immigration amnesty planned giving status to these dreamers, if you were here is a child because of migration law they can bring in all the rest of their family not just the nuclear family but cousins and aunt and uncles, they want to be the anchor children through the chain migration program and that is problematic for the country. jillian: yesterday the biden administration announced federal investigators found no evidence that foreign powers manipulated any election result in the 2020 presidential race. however the report finds russia and iran tried to influence the election. what do you know about this? >> they tried to influence the election. they are one of our enemies and the fact that the biden administration will reverse policies the trump administration had that was tough on iran and stuff on our enemies, the no-fly list will never allow terrorists like iran to fly and travel to the united states. that is not breathing for the safety and security of our nation and not the direction we should be going to the safety and security of our nation. you will see significant problems, especially the biden administration like they talked about the jcp oh as it relates to the iran nuclear deal, that is problematic for the country. the last thing we need in the world is iran's ability to give to or have nuclear capabilities. it's not good for the region of the middle east or domestic partners like israel in that region. we need to be tough on iran and the sanctions we have impose on iran have been very very productive in pushing back the number one state sponsor of terror in the world. benjamin: meanwhile we see iran launching more rockets at us bases in iraq time and again. thank you for joining us, that is all we have time for but appreciate your time. jillian: have a good day. benjamin: coming up st. patrick's day called off in many cities but not everywhere. jillian: ashley strohmeyer is outside an irish pub in new york that is free to let the good times roll. benjamin: inside inside. jillian: inside. ♪♪ benjamin: welcome back. janice dean is tracking several severe weather issues across the country after days of storms in the west. >> janice: it will be a rough day for millions of folks across the south, the mississippi river valley, severe thunderstorm watch is posted for parts of texas towards arkansas and missouri and kansas and several severe thunderstorm warnings, large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes and i am positive we will see tornado watches over the next couple hours as things start to perk up especially in the late afternoon and evening, the foreign in the overnight and that is the worst time you can have severe weather when people are sleeping so i urge you to know the watches and warnings. it is quite rare to see a high risk area which is what is happening today. all the ingredients will come together for severe weather outbreak and potential for large, district of potentially deadly tornadoes so this is the area we are watching closely over louisiana towards mississippi and alabama towards tennessee and kentucky and tomorrow the threat continues over heavily populated areas of the southeast, florida towards the mid-atlantic. this is a big deal, pretty rare you see a high risk area. we are confident we will see tornadoes today and know what to do there is a watch or warning or have a way of getting those warnings in the overnight hours. we will keep you up-to-date. back to you. jillian: you have an excuse for not wearing green, the green screen. benjamin has no excuse. benjamin: next up a live look from the hearts of the island courtesy of earth cam, festivities looking different this year but you can find ways to celebrate. jillian: ashley strohmeyer is there this year. >> reporter: we made our way inside, not celebrating just yet but don't think i haven't thought about it. some good news from the economy standpoint. covid next all celebrations last year and this year looks a little different. chicago and boston canceled their parades once again. new york city's parade will be virtual, adding footage from years past and live stream from facing to patrick cathedral but not everything was canceled, there was a bronx covid friendly parade, the grand marshall say what it meant to her. take a listen. >> the irish-american community. heritage is important. >> reporter: i am just getting word, a fox news alert on tap. it is only for people wearing green, not people who put green highlighters. jillian: i will join you later. up next president biden going back to his roots on the help is here to war. benjamin: will working-class americans by in the agenda? a pennsylvania republican has his doubts. join us next. ♪♪ office, and bank balance are... far from glamorous. that means expensing nothing but pizza. your expenses look good, and your books are set for the month! ...going up against this guy... and pitching your idea 100 times. no, no, no! no. i like it. -he likes it! ...and you definitely love that. intuit quickbooks helps small businesses be more successful with payments, payroll, banking and live bookkeeping. >> reporter: i see it from scranton. you know what i'm talking about. you see it from erie. that is why my program to build back better is focused on working people. do more than just provide the ppe. we are in a position to bring immediate relief. jillian: president biden ran on his promise to stand with workers but now that he is pushing the democrats progressive policies and tax hikes that come with them, is scranton joe winning over the working class now that he is in office? jillian: bill brett joins us live. you heard on the campaign trail. president biden full of energy compared to the later soundbite but promising to be a man for the working people. does that stand true 56 days into his presidency? >> his actions thus far stand to support the things we were saying during the campaign that he was going to do the things that were the opposite what he was suggesting. jillian: let's pull up the proposed tax hike plan including raising corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% raising the income tax rate on individuals earning 400,000, raising capital gains tax for those earning 1 million annually. look at the screen and a lot of people say that is not going to affect me. how will this affect more people than you would think. >> many small business owners fall into that class of people and many small businesses are set up to be as one issuance, their incomes above that level, they will be doing hiring and all those things ultimately crushed jobs and make a difference in the recovery. benjamin: any insight into how democrats are viewing president biden? those who voted for him whether they are happy with how his policies have been enacted? >> many people that voted for joe biden were voting against donald trump's personality and not the policies. many folks are experiencing buyers remarks when they experience what a biden administration is pushing forward with an agenda. jillian: something that struck me in the notes you sent over his people don't want to pay off, they want their jobs back and that resonates with people across the country especially people who lost their jobs because of the pandemic and desperately want to work and are not able to. that hits home. >> any person in need will be happy to receive a stimulus check, but the long-term way to bring the economy back is to get people back to work in meaningful ways and that is not happening. they are trying to win the working-class back over with a check in the short term and having long-term policies to continue to undermine the american workforce is not good policy. benjamin: i think i am writing that donald trump won your district with 63% of the vote. what are you thinking about a potential run from him? >> four years is a long time but donald trump and his policies are extremely popular in westmoreland county and he did win by a large margin he
