Migrants from heading towards american southern border. Ed henry has the latest. The big picture is that President Trump is trying to fire up his political base, which propelled him to victory in 2016 in large part because of it the fact that he focused so hard on illegal immigration. Its another issue that could come up obviously in the midterms and fire up conservative voters at a time when republicans have an uphill battle. Dt democrats are scoffing about all the president tweets about this caravan. In fact, that caravan is giving the president a lot of grip. Its about 1100 people fleeing Central America. They were organized by the promigrant Rights Group People without borders. S. The name alone shows its a nonprofit and their agenda isou dramatically opposed to this administration. Started out in honduras then left the southern tip of mexico on about march 25th, traveling over 1,000 miles by foot, bus, cargo train, whatever they could get. They first want asylum in mexico but at least some of them want to come to the United States. As that drew the president s ire on easter sunday. As he walked into church with the first lady, and read a report in buzzfeed that mexican immigration officers are simply monitoring this caravan of our because of its large size, rather than figuring out who has valid passports and who doesnt. Mexico has got to help us at the border. If they are not going to help us at the border, its a very sad thing between two countries. Ng mexico has got to help us at the border. A lot of people are coming in because they want to take advantage of daca. We are going to have to really see. They had a great chance, the democrats blew it. They had a great, great chance but they will have to take a look. Mexico has got to help us at the border. They flow right through mexico, they send them into the United States. It cant happen that way anymore. Politifact noted that its misleading to conflate the caravan with daca, because only people who have lived at the u. S. Since june of 2007 were eligible for daca, that we have seen Illegal Immigrants find ways too get all kinds of other benefits in california and other states, which is why the president sentee a series of tweets, including a demand that the republicans kill a filibuster barrier one legislation so they can get the wall so he can get right with 51 votes, a simple majority. Tonight, the president sent these tweets, one saying, as ridiculous as it sounds, the laws of our country do not easily allow us to send thosedi crossing our southern border back where they came from. A whole big wasted procedure must take place. Y mexico and canada have tough immigration laws, whereas ours are an obama joke. Act, congress. He then added, honduras, mexico, other countries that the u. S. Is very generous to, sends many of their people to our country through our weak sends many of their people to our country through our weak immigration policy. Caravans are heading here, he said, must pass tough laws and build a wall. Democrats allow open borders. Democrat Dianne Feinstein did not take kindly to this today, saying that its not fair for the president to be blamingrs democrats for no daca deal. The president saying today that daca is dead. Feinstein insists she can support funding for the wall but she said President Trump is wrong on daca, you know unilaterally rescinded daca on his rejected every bipartisan proposal that will protect dreamers from deportation. Its simply false to say the democrats walked away from the table. We should note the president also threatened again in the last 24 hours to kill nafta, the controversial trade deal, on i unless mexico gets tougher with the border. Katie . Katie joining us with more reaction, Fox News National security strategist sebastian gorka. Mark, i want to start with you first. What is this caravan and who are these people coming to our country . S they are a group of a thousand or so Illegal Immigrants, mostly from honduras who have been organized by a u. S. Based group, san diegobased organization, that basically is an antiborders group. What we are seeing here is a kind of test or challenge of the administrations willingness to enforce the law. There are two things that i think need to happen. The Administration Needs to make clear these people will not get past the border or if they get in, they are not going to get into the interior of the country. If that requires a tent city to be set up on the border, whatever it is, they have to be kept where they are to send the message that this is not going to work. The other thing and this is Something Congress has to do r as it is now, if you are an illegal immigrant and walk up to our immigration inspector at a a border, and say, hi, i want to claim political asylum, we have to take that seriously and let you in while we do that case. Instead, we need the law to change so that anyone who passes through a country that has its own asylum system, like mexico, doesnt really get to apply. They just say, sorry, try mexico, that is where you should have sought refuge, you are supposed to look for it in the first country you are not being persecuted in. Aor katie dr. Gorka, this has been framed as Asylum Seekers coming to america because they feel like they are being persecuted. The group that organized this ii called people without borders. Obviously, a leftist Progressive Group trying to make some kind of political statement. Can you give us perspective on how this isnt just an immigration or illegal immigration issue, this is a broader, more comprehensive issue for the sovereignty of the country . Absolutely, katie. Absolutely. Whether it is crushing isis, whether its tariffs on aluminum or steel, or whether its the wall, the trump doctrine, makes America Great again doctrine, is built on the platform of national sovereignty. This is the most obvious one. I know this will make liberal minded people explode but guess what, no Foreign National has a right to come to america. No one does. If we dont have borders, the word america ceases to have meaning. We now know, thanks to the leaked speech that hillary gave during the campaign, that her wish was to have a borderless hemisphere, meaning no borders from canada all the way down to central and south america. In that case, america ceases to exist, but these people hillary may have lost but the ideologues, the ideological activists, havent given up. This is a direct threat to National Security because you cant have a porous border and keep americans safe. It doesnt matter whether these people want asylum. That border is there to protect us from drugs, from coyotes, from illegal weapons. Guess what . From terrorists as well. Katie mark, i want to go back to the point you made about how the law in america is working against us here. If an illegal alien is from mexico or canada, we can send them back, but if they are fromi honduras, el salvador, a number of other countries, we have to put them into our court system, which the majority of them do not show up to. How can congress act to change this so we have more control of who comes in and out of theo country . The difficulty in sending Illegal Immigrants back who arent from mexico or canada, obviously mostly from mexico, not that many canadians sneaking across the border, is that with a mexican, we just take them to the border, the mexican authorities work with us. They do cooperate with us pretty well and we will send them back. If its anyone beyond that, Central America, africa, asia, anything, those people need travel documents, passports, they got to be flown there, a lot of stuff. A lot of countries basically drag their feet or refuse to take people back. Katie what about the factt that coyotes, drug cartels, corrupt members of government, these migrants are passing through on their way to the u. S. , are being trained to say that they are seeking asylum because they feel like their lives are endangered . What about changes to the law like the trafficking victims protection act . Obviously that law had good intentions as it was implemented in 2008, but now we are seeing it being abused over and over i again, for example, it was abused in 2014 during the child Immigration Crisis then. How can Congress Work today to actually make sure that people cant just say they are seeking asylum when there is no m background check to prove that they are actually here for that reason . There is no way to prevent really. Its not as though somebody persecuting you is going to send you an affidavit saying, yes, im persecuted you. That law you refer to, the trafficking victims protection act, is for people who are minors, and who are trafficked. Its a jargon term, but if you are smuggled, that means you are doing it voluntarily. You pay, your parents paid you to be smuggled. Trafficked is some kind of coercion or trickery. You are being used for sex slavery or Something Like that. The Obama Administration used the law, that as you suggested, is a wellintentioned law, but misused it and said, these people are all being trafficked so we will let them all in. That points to a problem that that points to a problem that congress cant see and fix every eventuality. It does sort of matter who implements the law. If you have an Administration Like the Obama Administration,te they will take whatever law, however its written, and distort it and interpret it way they want. Katie dr. Gorka, congress doesnt want to seem to move on anything when it comes to illegal immigration, criminal aliens. What can the president do in terms of his leverage with mexico . H he threw out the idea of nafta being a negotiating piece, to encourage mexico to help us stop illegal immigration. What do you think he will do Going Forward to make sure that this is a hot issue and its a big reason why he won . Its not that congress isnt doing anything. Half of them are actually making it easier to undermine our national sovereignty. Lets look at the recent hubbub on the census. The democrats were screaming blue murder because we want to know if you are here as a citizen or not, and then they shouted, but thats going to lead to voter suppression. What does that mean, katie . Whose votes are we going to suppress if we ask if youre a citizen or not. Only one group of people. He illegal aliens. So half of Congress Wants to see these ways, the democrats are losing the white vote in america, the middle class, the working class vote. They think the hispanic vote is the future. So they are actively undermining the president and our national sovereignty. The president could do a lot of things with his executive orders. Weve got to stop the catch and release. Weve already seen more than a a 70 decrease in illegal migration across the southern s borders. Allowing our customs and Border Patrol to do their job helps aac lot. But its not enough. Katie mark, isnt this a test for the Trump Administration in terms of how they react . They know this group of 1,000 plus people is coming. The way that they react is probably going to be watched by a number of other people who are maybe planning on pulling one of these political stunts, as well. Absolutely. This is probably the most important aspect of what we are seeing with this caravan, is that it is test and an opportunity for the administration. Are they going to react the way Angela Merkel did . The way jimmy carter did years ago, when cubans started to being let out by castro, and essentially resulted in bringing about an avalanche of Illegal Immigrants . Or will the administration drawn the line and send the message, this is not going to be tolerated. You are not going to get into the United States. If you pull this kind of stunt. This is i hope they pass, obviously. I think they probably will pass the test. Its an important opportunity for them to send the message that its not just bluster, theres actually somethingre behind the bluster, that we really are going to enforce our borders. Katie dr. Gorka, last word to you. Re its very clear that the bottom line is we have no idea who these people are, where they are coming from, what their history is. There are Big Questions abouthe the protections of americans at home when thousands of people are just walking over the border. Katie, look, its very simple. The United States is a house. It has a front door. Pl you lock your door when you go to sleep at night. We have a right to control whock comes into our house. That is what the president is doing. I have a word for all these nations that are complicit in undermining our national sovereignty. Donald j. Trump is not a president do you want to test. Katie dr. Gorka, mark,k, thank you very much. Thank you. Katie coming up, if you thought californias dangerous actions on illegal immigration couldnt get worse, think again. Well tell you what governor jerry brown just did that has President Trump fired up as this special edition of hannity continues. Up as this special edition must be 25 continues.

Because my body can still make its own insulin. And i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like its supposed to. Trulicity is not insulin. It comes in a onceweekly, truly easytouse pen. And it works 24 7. Trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. Dont use it as the first medicine to treat diabetes, or if you have type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, youre allergic to trulicity, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your low blood sugar risk. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. These can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. To help lower my a1c i choose trulicity to activate my within. Ask your doctor about onceweekly trulicity. Katie welcome back to the special edition of hannity, americas illegal immigrationnga crisis. On friday, california governor jerry brown granted a series of partisan commutations, including pardons for five exconvicts, facing deportation. C in reaction, President Trump tweeted over the weekend. Joining us now live from los angeles with more, trace gallagher. Trace . Katie, the president s tweet is clearly taking aim at how california has downplayed governor browns pardon of Illegal Immigrants. The Governors Office says that the majority of them were convicted of nonViolent Crimes. Badly beating your spouse isnt exactly nonviolent, neither is kidnapping, robbery, or use of a firearm. Stealing a car may be nonviolent but its not jaywalking and Law Enforcement officers will tell you that saying a convicted drug dealer has a drugrelated offense is a bit of sugar coating. The governors ochanged their wy well might be true, but its also true that they fall under homeland securitys definition of criminal aliens. The list of counties and cities that may opt out of californias sanctuary laws is about to get longer. Nt on wednesday, the city of escondido, northeast of san diego, which is 50 latino, will consider whether to join the Trump Administration lawsuit against california. On april 17th, san diego countyh will discuss the same matter in a closeddoor session. Last month, the Southern California of los alamidos voted to join the department of justice lawsuit and so did Orange County, and now Orange County commissioner sean nelson explains part of the reasoning. What californias laws are requiring our our shares not even complying. Its resulting in people who have committed crimes ending up on the streets of every county, certainly Orange County. We got involved because we dont think thats right. We are tired of the state trying to use these arguments to prevent us from keeping the citizens safe. Ed even though the San Francisco bay area has not opted out of this states sanctuary law yet, the sheriff is cooperating with immigration agents by posting the release dates of jail i inmates, including those inmates in the country illegally. Katie. Katie trace, thank you very much. Joining us now with reaction is the man challenging governor brown, california g. O. P. Gubernatorial candidate john cox. Mr. Cox, thank you so much for being here tonight. We appreciate it. Thank you, katie, great to be wit
