pretty on pleasant trying to be responsible while you into her. the airline demanded it. we could not come home until we have a test. that's because our authorities are totally committed to stopping this deadly virus. what if you are coming here illegally? what if you wrote a freight train? well, as it happens, this morning, we interviewed an active ms-13 member, a convicted murderer, who said he did exactly that. so the question is, do people like him, the ones who break our laws to get here, have to submit to mandatory covert test and they've been apprehended by american authorities? and the answer is actually no they don't. under this administration, they don't have to, and they don't. illegal aliens are now exempt from the public health measures that have been imposed by force on the rest of us by the u.s. government. illegal aliens come and go as they please, no one seems to care if they spread deadly viruses to the rest of the american population. it's hard to believe that's actually happening, but it is happening, we verified it today when the new dhs secretary admitted in congressional testimony that the biden administration is releasing foreign nationals into american neighborhoods without even bothering to check if they've been infected with covid. now, given the authoritarian lockdowns the rest of us have lived under for the last year the ones that have crushed the country, it's hard to understand this policy as anything but an act of violence and hostility towards our country. he doesn't utter betrayal. they don't care about you and they are saying that as clearly as they possibly can. joe biden is saying it too. a reporter asked biden if he planned to visit the border to see for himself the disaster that's unfolding there. not at the moment, he replied dismissively, as if he had better things to do. we would love to know what those things are. later that day a reporter asked kamala harris what she knew about the current immigration crisis, the one that hurried administration caused. more than 100,000 foreign nationals are flooding in every month like the border doesn't even exist. some of them are gang members. others appear to be on fbi terror watch list. more than 13,000 of them are children, unaccompanied minors now in u.s. custody. it all adds up to a norm is maybe unprecedented wave of humanity coming into america right now. but kamala harris didn't seem to have any idea what was happening. "i haven't been briefed on anything today about it," she said. she was too busy promoting critical race theory and making sure there are boys on your daughter's track team. has there ever been in administration this reckless nondestructive? what's happening on the border tonight will change this country forever. a lot of things won't. this will, and you should know that. unlike other disasters, mass illegal immigration is permanent. no one ever really gets sent home. over the past 30 years, the population of the united states has exploded by nearly 100 million people, mostly due to immigration. were you even aware that that happened? you're not supposed to say a word about it as every year the united states gets steadily more jammed with people and at the same time, more chaotic and less cohesive. as the open spaces shrink, as nature itself receives in the face of yet another strip mall or apartment complex or fast food outlet to serve the new people. this is becoming a crowded country and crowded countries are ugly, unhappy countries. why are we letting that happen? well, that's a rhetorical question, of course. no one asked we what -- no one asked us what we want, they just did it. no one asked the countries these immigrants are coming from either. that's something that had never even occurred to us yesterday when we talked to the president of el salvador. his lost a third of its population over the years to immigration to the united states. el salvador is a charming country in a lot of ways but it is still a very poor place, so on american politicians offer free education, free health care and free all kinds of things to anyone who can just make it across the border, millions of salvadorans accept their offer and why wouldn't they accept it? so they migrate into huge groups, and that hurts this country. but it also weakens el salvador. listen to that country's president's perspective. >> if you don't provide for your people economic opportunities your economy is doing bad people are going to leave. they are going to go and try to find a rich country, right? they're not going to leave for guatemala, they want to go to the united states. so that makes this country's dependent on immigration because you become a net exporter of people. you are not exporting products or service, you are exporting people. so that makes our economy dependent on that because then those people send money back to their home countries, which is not a good economic formula, so it's bad for the united states because immigration will go up and it's bad for other countries because people leaving the country will go up as well, so it's bad for both of us. >> tucker: it's bad for both of us. the u.s. and el salvador, and he's absolutely right, no one says it. but imagine if a third of the most boldest, most ambitious people in your country just left. what would that mean for your future? the overfunded ngos and self-satisfied compassion mongers who promote open borders haven't thought a moment about that because they don't care. they don't even know who the president of el salvador is. how many souls like moms with no human's illegal signs in the front lawn could even name him? we are guessing right around none. but if you're looking for conclusive evidence of how little they actually care about the latin american servants who walk their dogs and washed their sheets, consider the almost complete silence from fashionable american levels as the biden administration's holding pens for immigrant children filled beyond capacity. they are choosing to ignore this as it happens. here's what it looks like. >> tonight more than 4,000 children are in custody at overcrowded processing facilities, a 30% surge in the last week. >> [indiscernible]. >> someone stole all her money along the way. >> many discover that getting here is just the beginning. some migrants describe crowded immigration processing centers. >> packed with people. >> without showering facilities. >> did they let you shower? >> and some say they slept under a bridge overnight. >> attorneys for some of the children told us kids as young as 1 sometimes go days without bathing, rarely see the sun and the sound of crying is constant. >> tucker: so it's bad it is about to get much worse. there's been a 300% increase in the number of families apprehended by customs and border protection's since october. that number is rising. keep in mind it takes about three weeks for migrants to make their way from central america to the mexican border with the u.s. so the border gets more porous by the day, that's intentional the administration has made it that way. early indications suggest that this month, march, will see the largest surge of illegal entries in a generation. so who are all people coming? we don't really know who they are and we don't have a good way to find out and that's the scariest part. in the last day we have learned that at least four people arrested at the southern border were identified by law enforcement as "known to be or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activities." that seems like a front-page story, but it's not. democrats know perfectly well how unpopular open borders are with americans. americans of all races. so they are doing their best hysterically in fact, to suppress news about what is actually happening. here's veronica escobar, who some somehow got elected to congress from texas letting you know that if you say a single word about what's happening on the border right now, you are a racist. >> they can either join us in being part of the solution, or my fear is what they are going to continue to do is seek ways to divide our country, fuel xenophobia and racism, and i want to warn them that their words and the feeling of that xenophobia, that racism, that hatred of the border, that fear of the border, there are consequences to that language in that rhetoric. >> tucker: divide the country say the people who are leading and millions of foreign nationals with no right to be here against the will of the population. it's interesting to watch a demagogue like that yap into a camera and then compare her to a leader who actually cares about the people he represents. our conversation yesterday it was striking, president of el salvador took was once ability for the fact that millions have less of country. el salvador he said needs better security and opportunity and he seemed to mean it as he said it. so compare that response to the response from an incompetent like gavin newsom in california or an open race-baiter like veronica escobar of texas. those kind of people blame whites of premises and qanon for their failures and then they keep going. they never looked back. it's pathetic. joe biden isn't much better than this. biden knows the american public doesn't want a million new poor people showing up illegally this year. our country can't handle that obviously, especially not right now. again, open borders are not popular with anyone. they are not popular with hispanics, by the way. all the guilty white liberals assume hispanics love illegal immigration. they don't. they are american, why would they love it? biden is trying to blame the whole thing on trump, of course. apparently the promise of a border wall was a massive lord to central americans hoping to sneak in. that's pretty funny. but at the same time, and not so subtly, biden is telling more illegal aliens to come here. here was biden on "good morning america" this morning letting the world know that america's top priority is making foreign nationals feel comfortable in the united states. >> we have to sit quite clearly don't come? >> president biden: yes, i can say quite clearly don't, we are in the process of getting set up and it's not going to take a long time. to be able to apply for asylum in place. so don't leave your town or city or community. we are going to make sure we have facilities in those cities and towns run by dhs and also access with hhs, health and human services to say you can apply for asylum from where you are right now. >> tucker: oh, got it? just don't come yet, we are not quite ready. and by the way don't trouble yourself, we will come to you. we will spend whatever it takes to make the whole process easier for you so that more people from your country can move to our country entirely at our expense. that's our promise to the world and we hate ourselves enough that you know we mean it. has any country ever promised something like this to the world? can any country survive once it has? joe biden hasn't thought about that. he doesn't care. none of them care. all they know is that the democratic party will never lose again once they pull this off and that's all that matters to them. jason jones is a former texas border security captain who joins us live tonight from the southern border as he did last night. jason, thanks so much for coming on. we asked you last night for the latest on what you're seeing and hearing down there and i would ask that again tonight. what does it look like? >> tucker, thanks for having me it's good to be with you tonight. well, we were in roman texas this morning and for the viewers, roma is a small community that lies between laredo and mcallen, texas right in the center, and we were sitting on the bluffs at 7:40 this morning when a large gun battle broke out. across from roma, texas, is a small community. that community has been in battle between two cartels between the last few years. the gulf cartel and cartel [indiscernible], known as the [indiscernible] by many. those two cartels have been battling for years and we caught that gun battle this morning. >> tucker: remarkable. >> gunfire, gun battle. >> there we go. we are still alive. >> tucker: not iraq, texas. >> yeah. that's a great point, and that's where we talk about that what's happening at our border is much more in-depth than just the immigration lawyer and i don't want to say just, because it's a serious issue, but it's important that the american people know that what is happening down here is much broader in scope than just people crossing our border and you know, these gun battles are happening -- we were talking with cbp officials, state and local law enforcement, they are hearing these gun battles between two and four times a week and in december we were down there with lara logan and her team and we caught an hour and a half long gun battle and tucker, i want you to know i'm talking everything from 40 millimeters grenades .50-caliber belt bed machine guns, armored vehicles. these things are massive and it goes really to the breadth of how the cartels have evolved and gone through quantum leaps and changes, but this is what is occurring at our southern border and, you know, it's much bigger than just an immigration issue down here. >> tucker: apparently the new president has moved additional u.s. troops to syria, is resisting pulling american troops out of afghanistan. do you see american troops on our border as the war rages right across the river? >> i do, and it's time. we need to do a lot more in that arena. the cartels are not just a u.s.-mexico problem i think the way most people see them. they have gone through massive changes, and to give you an example of that, a cartel is in 54 countries around the world. [indiscernible] is in over 48 now. this is a global problem and we have continued to do the same thing hoping for a different result. building cases on the spokes as they have evolved all over the world and begin using military grade weapons and tradecraft that we are seeing, you know terrorist organizations around the world using, and that's why we've been calling to designate them as foreign terrorist organizations. that doesn't mean we go to war with the cartels but what it does mean is that we use the tools of national power to finally focus on them. >> tucker: yeah, and to protect our country. i mean, these cartels backed down the entire mexican army, so i mean, these are sophisticated forces, obviously. i appreciate your report tonight from the border, thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: so why are so many people coming all of a sudden two months into the biden demonstration? it's not a comp located question to answer. first, biden promised to let them come, not send anyone home no more deportations, and second he and his party promised a lot of free stuff like health care education, food stamps to anyone who can make it. again, would you come if you were poor? of course he would. who wouldn't? and they are. the biden demonstration is also and this is the most maybe amazing fact of the year letting illegal migrants into our country and letting them dispersed out the country without testing them for the coronavirus. your member the coronavirus? that was the deadly global pandemic that wrecked our country? yeah. >> there were times earlier when individuals were apprehended and we sought to expel them and we were unable to expel them, and we were compelled to release them and we did not have the opportunity to test them. >> tucker: so you can't fly back to your own country without getting tested, but if someone comes and breaks are laws, the biden demonstration may release them into your neighborhood without knowing whether they have the coronavirus and r. has anything more insulting than that ever happened in the history of our country? josh hawley of missouri says there may be awake to stop this. senator, thanks so much for coming on. galling doesn't really describe this. how can we fix it? >> one of the first things you have to do is you have to make clear you can't come to this country and get welfare benefits and all sorts of handouts from the federal government but the biden administration has done the reverse. they have eliminated the rule that says that you had to show you could be independent financially, economically independent before you could come into the country and when you throw up in the border -- listen, policy's destiny. when you tell people that you can come and welfare, when you say that there's not going to be a border wall, when you say that unaccompanied minors will get released into the interior of the country, guess what? you create a border crisis, you create the human smuggling crisis. you create the humanitarian crisis and that is exactly what president biden has done. >> tucker: and done it without the consent of the governed. none of this has been voted on in the congress. this is done executive willie -- primarily by executive order. then to exempt people from breaking our loss from the coronavirus regulations the rest of us have been crushed by, what message are they sending to us? >> well, the message they are sending is just lawlessness and it's one standard for american citizens and a different standard for people coming illegally into the country. it is a major public health disaster and created, as you've been reported on, they've created a humanitarian disaster at the border but also this tucker. these cartels, lets her member nobody sets foot across that border on the southern end of it without the cartels. the cartels control that border so what joe biden has effectively done is empower those cartels to make money empower them to smuggle children. empower them to run drugs. they are now in full control of border policy because the u.s. president is letting them be. >> tucker: so we got thousands of troops in washington protecting the congress against q, whatever that is. maybe we could move some down maybe our pregnant seal teams to protect her border from the cartels. has anyone thought of this? >> how about the endless war in afghanistan, now in its 20th year, president biden doesn't seem to have any interest in ending. this is a national security threat, it is a humanitarian crisis of the border and it's time that president biden admitted his policies have caused it and it's time for him to do something about it. >> tucker: i couldn't agree more. senator, great to see you tonight, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: so a horrifying series of shootings in atlanta yesterday left eight people dead. they were murdered. authorities are still trying to understand why this happened. they don't know, as far as we know, at this hour, but that didn't stop some in the democratic party from exploiting their murders to further divide the country along ethnic lines if you can even imagine. it's hard to imagine, but that's what they did, and we have the tape. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ it's hard to imagine, but that's what they did, and we have the tape. >> tucker: authorities have arrested a man called robert aaron long for a series of murders at three massage parlors in atlanta. eight people were killed yesterday. the investigation is still ongoing and there's a lot we don't know. but thankfully, kamala harris believes she's got the answers. >> i do want to talk about what happened in georgia, in atlanta. it speaks to a larger issue which is the issue of violence in our country. i do want to say to our asian-american community that we stand with you and understand how this has frightened and shocked and outraged all people but knowing the increasing level of hate crime against our asian-americans, brothers and sisters. we also want to speak out in solidarity with them and acknowledge that none of us should ever be silent in the face of any form of hate. >> tucker: what a fraud and a reckless liar s
