[applause] >> i've said it before and i'll say it again today, i'll work with anyone to solve these problems. >> the president's border policy is coming under more scrutiny this week after a suspect was arrested in the death of rachel moran. he entered the u.s. illegally february of last year. >> they released a statement. we extend our condolences and fundamentally people should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. the biden administration has not mentioned if they plan to reach out to morin's family. >> the president will be prepping for the debate, on the grounds of the white house, they can say whatever they want regarding the border and their policies, american people may look at it in a different light. when it comes to the head to head match-up, the polling shows the president is two points ahead. is there any sense that they're worried about the issue when he has to face off with donald trump and go toe to toe and take accountability for what's happened here? >> i think privately the president and his aides are concerned about how voters may perceive him on the issue of immigration. publicly, they have projected confidence. you've heard the campaign, you've heard president biden say that they're doing all that they can on the border, case in point, again, that executive order restricting asylum in the order. and that he issued for the migrant spouses of u.s. citizens, but we expect him again, we expect this to be a big issue coming up this thursday. >> thank you, madeline, thank you so much. and the border is front and center as a string of criminal cases of migrants continue to develop. nate foy has more from houston. hi, nate. >> hey, yeah, this houston community is very much still briefing with hundreds attending a vigil for the 12-year-old jocelyn, she was murdered and body found in the creek across the street and police say two illegal migrants from venezuela are responsible for her murder. take a look at the video that jocelyn's family showed up and spoke up, as did the mayor of houston who says he's going to keep a close eye on the criminal justice system in this case. listen to this. >> we're going to see that these criminals are held accountable. and what we need to do is send word tonight, don't even think about it, if you're thinking about harming one of our young ba babies. >> so the two capital murder suspects remain in jail today. prosecutors requested a one million dollar bond each for 26-year-old franklin pena, and 22-year-old martinez. but if a sexual assault occurred it could be prosecuted differently and prosecutors wrote in court documents, if this case the defendant lured a 12-year-old codefendant under the bridge, remained for two hours, took her pants off, tied her up and killed her and threw her body in the bayou. and in el paso, they were arrested and released both men. martinez in march and pena late may three weeks before jocelyn's murder. they gave both migrants a notice to appear in court. the same thing happened with the ecuadorian migrant accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in new york. he was caught at eagle pass, texas in june of 2021 and released with a future court date. and live, new numbers released by border patrol, agents report in the month of may, just shy of 118,000 illegal crossings at the southern border, that's actually 9% down from the month of april. we'll send it back to you. >> it's getting hot which could be why we see some of the shift in the pattern, nate. but i want to ask you this because you hear the details about this particular case where you are. i was reading the details about the little girl in queens that was raped as well. rachel morin, laken riley, the list goes on and on and people across the border committing heinous crimes here and literally shaking up communities. what was the reaction on the ground there from people that you talked to? i mean, at least here in new york there's a lot of anger. >> well, it's the same thing that you're seeing in new york from the people on the ground, from lawmakers, senator ted cruz calling for the death penalty against these two suspects or defendants, which could still happen. right now, it's sort of unclear. it depends on the evidence that is found and how prosecutors decide to move forward with this case, but it is a capital murder charge. people are disgusted, this is a 12-year-old girl who, you know, ran into these guys at a convenience store, and according to police, and then they took her to this bayou behind me and according to police killed her then. of course, they'll have their day in court, but people here are absolutely outraged. >> you've done a fantastic job reporting on this, as have so many other fox news reporters down at the border every single day. we've covered this story and nothing has really changed since that executive order per se, either. a lot of people are wondering, you know, what the president is thinking. this is, you know, a huge issue for people toe to toe with the economy as well. it's something that people are very worried about, their safety in communities. one of our guests earlier was saying, for example, that it's women who are the swing voters potentially in this election. when they hear stories like this about young children, it really just takes it to a new level with respect to how you might want to vote in the next election. >> yeah, it absolutely does. if you don't have safety. if you don't feel comfortable going outside your home then you don't really have anything. everything else at that point sort of becomes a luxury. you know, when you see people who are committing crimes or at least accused of committing crimes who are in our country illegally, a lot of people feel this was a crime and that it could have been prevented that this is a 12-year-old girl who is no longer here and that if we enforced proper immigration law that she'd still be here today. so voters had certainly be keeping that and other issues in mind as the election approaches. >> nate foy, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> you've got it. >> texas congressman dan crenshaw has been calling for stricter border security and he's on the combat mexican cartel task force. congressman, thank you for joining us. talking about the staggering number of cases in different parts of the country where people are falling victim to criminals that have come across our southern border illegally, they've got rap sheets and yet, the white house will issue some sort of statement saying that it's sorry to the members of the family, but essentially they've opened the door to allow this to happen. >> they have blood on their hands, pure and simple. one too many, but it's much moron that one, of course, and you know what's even more infuriating a lot of democrats will defend this and say it's such a small percentage that cross that do this. it becomes a smaller and smaller percentage because you keep allowing more and more people to cross. again, one is too much and then they're doing these half measures and doing half measures that, you know, to stem the flow of illegal immigration. why? because it's election system and realize it's a bad campaign issue for them. no way that president biden is going to escape this politically. he can try and pin it on republicans because the deal fell apart, he can say he inherited a bad system from trump. nobody believes that. everybody knows at the end of trump's presidency, we had it under control, and a deal with mexico, and he had it in his power to make it work and biden reversed that. and it's a disaster the last years. and mexico has implemented a ton of restrictions in their own country, they have basically-- they keep recycling people back to the southern part of mexico until they give up. so the mexicans are doing their part, actually, but the biden administration continue to just message politically. it's sad and getting people killed. >> well, the thing is, the fact that the president has made this about-face, or at least he's trying to make it appear that way to the american voter, if he really wanted to do something about the issue, congressman, he would have done it sooner. >> exactly. he would have done it sooner. the alarm bells were going off a long time ago. his own democrat mayors and governors were sounding the alarm, at least a year or two ago. it's too late at this point. everybody knows election season politics. and again, it's not enough. if you actually really sealed the border and those numbers went from 180,000, they're touting these 180,000 numbers like they're a big deal because it's down to 300,000, get it to 20,000 and i'll clap my hands for you, credit where credit is due. i don't care who solves it, i just want it to be solved. if you solve it, i'll give you credit, but you're not doing it. >> outlets including the new york post writing about how there is an effort to essentially mobilize to make sure that the people who are crossing in will be given an opportunity to vote, even though that is illegal as well, but you know, many states are not checking voter i.d. so, people can register and they can vote in the election and some would say well, that's what this was all about. >> yeah, sometimes it is. i mean, there's a bunch of reasons. i think the left just doesn't care about illegal immigration. one potentially cynical reason is politically they believe in the long run they're going to have more voters out there on the streets than we will. i actually think they're wrong about that, but another reason is look, they just don't care. you have to understand how the leftist thinks. they don't necessarily care about protecting one's land, protecting one's border. they believe in this kind of oversize sense of compassion, people need help so we have to let them in. that's not actually compassionate at all. it's not compassionate to people who try to do it the legal way, who wait in line. as i always say, there's an infinite number of people that want to get in the united states of america. you have to have some kind of process and line that allows them in. it doesn't make anyone happy because the line is long. if you allow them to cut the line, that's a degradation of the law of legal immigrants. >> and it's also not compassionate to the families a we have been talking about, murdered and assaulted in this country by people who cross illegally. but i want your take on this, president biden has a new plan to crack down on fentanyl traffickers which i know is a huge concern of yours. neil cavuto asked treasury secretary janet yellen about that earlier this week and here is part of that exchange. >> we would have sanctions on eight individuals who are part of one of the most vicious mexican drug cartels responsible for trafficking fentanyl into the united states and we're -- we intend through these actions to try to cut them off to make their business very difficult or impossible by cutting them off from the u.s. financial system in the dollar. neil: why wasn't this done sooner? it seems like a pretty good idea, why not sooner? >> well, we've been working jointly with our law enforcement colleagues and also productively with the government of mexico to amass the information necessary to bring these actions forward and our work with mexico has intensified over the last several years. we've had very good cooperation with mexico. >> congressman, your reaction to that? >> that's actually about right. so, neil asked the right question, why didn't you do it sooner? i'm sure the cartel is something i've researched every day and talking to treasury agents to figure out how do you follow the money? it's hard to follow. the way they do the money laundering, the money never leaves the border and the mexican government doesn't cooperate, but the current president has never been a friend of the united states. very, very difficult to deal with. and one thing in cartel task force, you need a lot more analysts to build cases to create the sanctions and that's about accurate what she's saying. >> congressman, thank you so much for being here. >> thanks. >> all right. two big named progressive stumping in new york city today trying to save a member of the squad facing a tough primary battle. right, cb cotton? >> that's right. all eyes are on new york's 16th congressional district for this democratic primary where people are watching to see if a progressive squad member could be unseated for the first time ever. i'll have that story after the break.

well, the economy, the border and crime here in philadelphia. this comes as we're taking a look at new polls. take a look at the screen, too. it's part of the swing state tour. he's hitting michigan, wisconsin, georgia and today, pennsylvania there. these are states the former president won back in 2016, but lost in 2020, right? so recent polling shows trump's now doing well in those states this time around, gaining support with young and non-white voters as you see here on your screen who say they're upset biden's handling of the economy is a big issue and also with gaza. we want to pull up the latest fox news poll now that shows 32% of voters say the economy is in excellent or good shape, that's the highest during biden's presidency, but still overall sentiment seems to be negative. so we're now just days away from the first presidential debate. right now, president biden is out preparing at camp david. while former president trump is on the campaign trail appearing at an event in d.c. and then coming here to philadelphia. so a busy day for him. he was in court for quite a while and trying to make up lost time. both candidates will stay in the south and biden will stay in south carolina where he lost to trump in 2020 and two decades in virginia, since a republican carried the race for the white house. trump's team is investing heavily in virginia. and glenn youngkin is on a short list. and we'll see what happens later tonight. >> busy day, alexis mcadams, thank you. of course, voters are weighing options. according to a new fox poll, 15% of voters say they would vote third party or they're still undecided. what do they need to hear from each candidate next week to help them make up their minds? joining me now it would undecided voters from key states. wisconsin voter, kaitlin singleton and georgia voter, bernadette wright. thank you both for being here. i'm going to go ahead and start with you. as alexis points out you're both in swing states and you're both women. these are demographics that president biden needs to continue to win over and president trump wants to get some of you on his side to win. he lost them in 2016
