agents break from what could be the largest surge ever of illegal immigrants entering from mexico. >> hard to hear those words but it is true because another caravan is in the works, officials confirm tens of thousands of migrants are heading toward the southern border. the white house told him not to come. >> house the administration preparing for the haitian migrants traveling from central america? and we are going to continue to enforce title 42 at the border but we have a system in place we will continue to follow. this is not the time to come. >> this as a group of governors head to the border today for texas governor greg abbott. one of those in attendance, a sergeant in, or getting -- asa hutchinson getting a closer look. >> when you have migrants coming from scores of countries, good across the border timing themselves to pick the right opportunity they can get through, it is not a closed border. >> reporter: rodney scott is sounding the alarm warning of mixed messaging from the administration and national security implications of this crisis. >> 90% don't get deported. we have 400,000 documented got aways. they were not claiming asylum and probably paid extra to go through one of the gaps the cartel controlled. >> reporter: seeing cartels in the last week where those governors are headed, m s 13 gained member arrested along with a mexican national convicted of child molestation in north carolina and guatemalan man convicted of sexual abuse in iowa. jillian: as he mentioned to reiterate there is news happening from the border today because ten governors have been invited by governor greg abbott, they will hold a news conference at noon so we've seen a number of republicans going to visit the border, sharing their stories, some giving us interviews while they are down there when they returned from there and there have been a number of people, just seems to be primarily 1-sided. i won't safely 1-sided because a number of democratic representatives from border states as well have spoken up on this issue. >> contrast that with people awfully in charge, what is the biden administration doing or not doing? here's what we have so far. blinken, mayorkas and garland are headed to mexico city to discuss security issues with the mexican government was the mexican foreign minister saying they are not saying whether immigration would even be discussed at this meeting. if they are not discussing immigration what are they going to be discussing? meantime absent from that meeting one borders our names kamala harris who vowed to get to the root causes but don't know how she will do that by not being at this meeting and president biden still unclear whether he has been to the border, no apparent plan to do so, white house freaked out about potential optics of all this, all of this leading to this commercial from the republican governors association, watch. >> border apprehensions are up 500%. we need to secure our border and end this crisis. of president biden won't step up republican governors will. >> that is a campaign ad trying to prove the point as we head into the midterms in 2022 potential gubernatorial elections as well as in 2021 some republicans running on the same president biden has ruined our country through his border actions. as a result vote republican in upcoming elections. >> a lot of people who live in these border states and border towns and even beyond who have told us what they've been experiencing as a result of this and that includes a 20 year dell real resident we interviewed yesterday. >> we have too many refugees in the state of texas, we just don't have the money. we are running out because we are being taxed on everything, prices on everything going up. imagine sitting there doing nothing, take control of this, we have immigration law on the books and we want them to take them and use them. how many can we afford to keep in the united states? taxpayers being taxed and we have to supply, it is not fair on us. jillian: extremely frustrated if that was your life and that was happening on a day in day out you have an administration since january, 9 months almost that not only caused this problem but now not doing anything to stop it yet we have the three big people in our government besides kamala harris and president biden discussing security issues with no mention of immigration. that is unconscionable. jillian: we will follow the news from the border today as we await the press conference today. let's talk about this. outraged parents responding after the department of justice sent a letter condemning the actions of those who oppose radical education programs as mask mandate in public schools. todd: parents reject the school board association's charge that they are domestic terrorists. this story is not going anywhere, got a lot of laughs. >> reporter: concerned parents are responding to that directive from the biden doj which likens protests against critical race theory and other controversial subjects to potential acts of domestic terror. >> for you to dare to try to smear parents as domestic terrorists just reflects how tone deaf school boards and school administrators have become about the pleas of parents on behalf of their children. >> attorney general merrick garland sent the memo responsible request from the national school board association which asked the biden administration to step in as parents and public school districts across the country stand against directives like critical race theory, sexually explicit school literature and constantly changing covid 19 protocols. the school board meetings entered in shouting matches and even arrests but one parent who herself is a school board member in sarasota, florida says federal intervention goes beyond the pale. >> no acts of violence or threats should ever be tolerated and i believe local law enforcement has been quick to respond but this act by the national school board association, taxpayer-funded lobbying group intended to silence and intimidate parents who have a different point of view. >> republican lawmakers grilling in deputy attorney general lisa monaco slamming the doj for targeting parents while violent crimes servers across the us and calling the directive and attempt to chill speech from anyone opposed to the biden administration's ideology. the doj denies the claim, the national school but association claim some members have received death threats, josh halley called for attorney general garland to appear before the judiciary committee but no word if or when that might happen. todd: congressman jim jordan says the justice permit has other important business focusing on instead of villain icing concerned parents. >> what is the justice department looking at you cannot hunter biden or questionable people or these art sales, what is the justice department looking at, parents, parents the object that school board meetings to critical race theory going to be defined as domestic terrorists with the latest memo that attorney general garland sends out, this is what ticks off

inquiry the call on the white house and state department to provide communication, intelligence assessments and documents on ending the war. they have 14 days to respond. also widespread bipartisan criticism how the evacuation was handled, what it means for the future. >> i can't recall one that was one that we experienced in afghanistan over the capability or limited knowledge of what it takes. >> of the thousands of american-made weapons seized by the taliban, some sold by dealers and they pop up around afghanistan. $83 billion put towards supplying the afghan army. the marine officer locked up for criticizing the evacuation has been released from a military brig. he spoke out 3 days from retirement, uphold the way the situation unfolded and lieutenant scheller is subject to a gag order but has huge public support because millions of people want to know what went wrong in afghanistan. jillian: thank you. todd: a new regulation in the gabby petito case, getting supplies and days after this flight with petito. brian laundrie joined petito before she finished, remaining a person of interest after petito's body was found in a wyoming part, her family demanding brian laundrie turn himself in. petito has a strong message. >> a coward, too coward to kill himself, too, to come forward. just on the run. >> anyone who lived in that house is a coward and they don't want to stand up for their actions. todd: we await the final coroner's report. jillian: president biden heading back at republican lawmakers on tax and spending agenda. >> these bills are not about left versus right. these bills are about competitiveness versus complacency, opportunity versus dk. to support these investments is to create a rising america, americans moving, to be complicit in america's declined. >> to sell america on his belt back better vision, he was met by pro-trump demonstrators after arriving in michigan was one of the democrats holding out his senator joe manchin who is open

>> unless you are a science denier that can't be true. it is well-documented at this point anyone who's vaccinated can indeed still get and transmit the virus so it is still going around the facility, the world's biggest science experiment because you will see positives popping up. >> and vaccinated healthcare workers allowed to take care of patients before we had vaccine but now kicked to the curb. >> the question i'm still asking myself to this day why. couldn't tell you. todd: here's the statement from north well. having a fully vaccinated workforce is an important measure to protect the health and safety for staff and patients and the communities we serve. with your reaction to that statement? >> i applaud the statement but the way they went about it and forced the vaccine, take it or lose your livelihood i think the way they went about it was totally wrong. todd: 13% of your health workers face termination for refusing to get this vaccine. what will that lots of staff due to patient health? >> it will create an emergency throughout the healthcare system. it was manufactured by the governor herself. basically she needs emergency powers to do things but you can't fix that. it is for staff industry where they keep their checkbooks balanced so right now when they specifically laid off 1400 people terminated to reach their 100% compliance goal that sounds good but there are people on disability, still people on leave, on maternity leave facing termination. todd: i don't know a lot of doctors, nurses, hospital staff that have been sitting on the sidelines for 20 years waiting for the call so where these, quote, substitutes coming?

>> for me i have taken the same page out of john's playbook, so tired fighting for what i believe in and keep speaking up for the truth until something has got to give. new york is my home. todd: how are you getting by? >> i also agree with abigail, full time becoming an activist trying to get the word out to make a change. i'm one of the lucky ones because i can afford not to work for a little bit. i am not supporting a family or raising children at this point so i consider myself one of the lucky ones that was able to stay know and stick to it and not be forced by having my livelihood and my insurance and medical and career held at ransom. todd: a lot of people are not in that position and are in trouble right now it is a tough spot not only for workers but patients and the entire state. we got to run. we will have you back, appreciate your time, thank you very much. jillian: 25 after the hour, 60,000 migrants are expected to reach the texas border, local authorities dealing with the last wave. talking to a texas sheriff. do you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep?

>> the first wave, quite a few people trying to get through them, the second wave, we believe they will expand the southwest border. jillian: can law enforcement handle that? >> know. jillian: what do you do? >> let them come in. from the federal government, they tried to do that, what do they do? jillian: what do you wish they were doing? >> i wish they would quit enticing these people. jillian: what are residents in your community saying? >> they are not happy with it at all. ranchers constantly get their fences cut and homes being broken into, and exploiting these people, it is a win/when in the illegal business. jillian: when you look at the history of the area and the worst it has ever been, when was that? >> probably 2006 is when we see it coming. not the way people come across. jillian: did you expected to get this bad? >> not at all. a few years back we anticipated this but not surges like we are getting. dealing not only with dealing with cartels but coming from everywhere who knows what?

>> this is a question america needs to ask itself. wise this occurring to conservatives? if donald trump was the flat formed completely never to be allowed back on, what do these think tank companies like twitter or facebook in the future?
