They have the legal authority. Basically he formed a commission promising you can even look at me. Then when he looked at him he said, lookin at me . Thats it for special report fair, balanced. Streaming into the United States, children. Streaming out of washington, the president. Senate leader harry reid and Speaker John Boehner and hundreds more politicians, the entire house and senate are all streaming out. Nothing is going to get in the way of their vacation, even the crisis they helped create. Theyre illegal. Theyre breaking our laws. Hearing complaints about some the conditions in some Border Patrol states. Theres nothing being done at the border. Whats going on is absolutely insane for this country. President obama is jetting off to Marthas Vineyard for two weeks and the house and senate go into recess for five weeks. This crisis, as some call it crisis, we have to view as an
opportunity. Stay in washington and insist that it be resolved. We can stop this crisis in one week. Harry reid, take up our bill. I invite senator reid and president obama to stop playing billiards and going on vacations. Come here and see for yourself. I dont think people would care he was going on vacation if he was doing his job. Make a statement to the American People that you give a damn. The only way were going to make this problem go away is whether the gop takes over the senate. Theres no sense of urgency around it. President obama, where are you . Our political panel, the Washington Post wes lowery, Washington Examiner chief political reporter. Byron, its vacation time. Theres a reason that congress has a 13 approval, 78 disapproval rate in the latest fox poll. And the president just went
to 39 in a threeday gallup. Im told by people on capitol hill that both houses are making contingency plans to do something, to stay longer if nothing happens on this border crisis. The houses next day is next thursday, the senates last day is next friday. We should point out theyre all going home to campaign as well as vacation. Every Single Member of the house of representatives is up for reelection. Thats more appalling to me. Theyre all going home to get their jobs back, kiss babies and get their pictures taken while theyre kissing babies, meanwhile they havent done their job, which is the immigration. The reason they have an immigration problem is because they didnt do their jobs. Were about to hit the 100day mark out from reelection time. You cant blame them for going home i can. I can and i do. Im not convinced it would do much good to keep them around
for the weekend. It would at least show the nation they give a damn, a problem they created. Youve been hearing a lot from them. Theyve been talking a lot. I dont want talk. I want product. You keep them around from now till christmas and all were going to get a is lot of talk. How long have we been talking about immigration and the border and weve seen nothing. The Senate Democrats are so far away from the republicans and the house, what would they do even if they stayed . I dont care. I want them working. Thats what they get paid for. Why are we going to pay them to get their jobs and campaign . We pay them to work. This is a problem they created and they should do it before they take vacation. It would be good to have a real debate with time pressure, when they have a continuing resolution, the government is going to run out of money. As wes said, this is on the issue of changing this 2008 law thats at the center of this
whole border controversy that makes it very difficult to quickly return children who come here illegally from central america, on the issue of changing that, that has become this enormous divide between republicans and democrats. Its a must have for republicans and its a deal killer for democrats. It would be good to see a big open debate on that. And my thought on that is figure it out. You asked for the votes, you said could you do the job. Im so sorry you have political opposition, im so sorry people disagree with you but thats your job. All youre doing is legislating by crisis. Thats why they need to run out the clock. They said my home is Speaker Boehner wont leave town without doing something about this and hes leaving town. The president has made his vote, he made his ask. I thought the president was
going to start doing things with his pen. And when he does that, well see republicans taking up votes to criticize him for doing things with his pen. Some House Republicans want him to do this through executive action if only thats because its fodder for their lawsuit and criticism of him. You cant have this both ways on the right. Either you want to take a vote on what the president has asked for and vote it down or you want him to do it on his own pup cant criticize him for doing things on his own and then get upset with him when he doesnt. And you see a standard washington way of doing things rising up in this. The president in his 3. 7 billion requests asked for money to fight wildfires. And now democrats have attached extra funding for israels iron dome defense. These are important issues that have nothing to do with it. The 3. 7 billion, where do they come up with these numbers . They pulled it out of a hat. Theres no accountability. The senate wants 2. 7, the house wants 1. 7 and nobody can tell us where they came one these numbers. Panel, have a good weekend. You, too, greta. Now to the surge of immigrant children overwhelming the border control. Last night we reported on sleep deprivation, inadequate food and water. Tonight the Border Patrol respond to those complaints. Good evening, sir. Good evening. How are you . I am well. I know youre overwhelmed. Whats your response to the complaints . You know, greta, the Border Patrol facilities are not designed to hold people for more than 10 or 12 house. Theyve designed to hold 250
people, we have 1,200, 1,500 people at a time. Theres no beds, no hot water. Were stuck with these people. And in the interim basis, theyre throwing them in our lap. Were doing the best with what we have. The food, rightfully so, its terrible. I wouldnt eat it. The food the sleep deprivation, its a detention center, its an active process center. We just cant turn off the lights and go to sleep. We work there 24 7. Go ahead. I take it that it would be very helpful to you because theres these conditions are tough and you have a very tough job, it would be helpful to you if congress and the president of the United States and the Senate Majority leader harry reid didnt go on vacation while you struggle with trying to give food to these kids you wouldnt eat yourself and problems with
overcrowding. I take it you would like this solved as fast as possible . Yes, maam. We would like it to be solved quickly, the kid in custody would like it to be solved quickly. If harry reid wants to go on vacation, he should come down here and see whats going on down here. That might be a good idea. Its much better to take a look at something. Theyre on reading at it in the newspaper at best and i know you guys are really struggling. I guess the biggest problem is this just isnt your job to be essentially sitters. No, maam. And unfortunately it is a humanitarian crisis but it is creating a National Security crisis because so much of our manpower is being diverted away from preventing criminals from coming in, gang members, narcotics coming through the borders and everybodys caught up with the babysitting aspect that the real criminals are getting past us. Agent cabrera, thank you very much. I know you all arent taking extra vacation, youre working overtime, its overwhelming and difficult and heart wrenching as well and the people who should be handling it are getting out of dodge. Thank you, sir. Thank you for having me. The border crisis raging right here at home. Meanwhile, wars rage between israel and hamas. Fox news is covering it all. Were going to take you to the fierce and dangerous war zones. First just yesterday the honduran president went on record right here today. So wendell, how did it go . Reporter after those talks, the president said hes considering allowing limited refugee status, triggered by the crisis of Central American children arrive on the
u. S. mexico border. Their numbers are down in recent days but as we heard from agent cabrera, theyre still taxing housing facilities and swamping the housing courts that a 2008 law requires for them, some communities doesnt want them an immigration hearings take more than a year to schedule, during times theyre placed with family or friends and often dont show up for court. Granting them refugees in their own countries would keep many from making the dangerous trips during which many are physically or, sexually abused. The Central American leaders told mr. Obama the u. S. Bears some responsibility for the problem because the kids are fleeing crime fueled by americas appetite for Illegal Drugs and by the illegal sale of guns in their country. The president conceded there is a shared responsibility. Meanwhile, republicans, even
some democrats, are skeptical of his 3. 7 billion request for funds to address the border problem, republicans arent convinced hed spend the money the way they want and time is running out, set to take their summer recess at the end of next week. And president obama is heading out of town as well. Wendell, thank you. This is a fox news alert. Just moments ago israel and hamas agreeing to a 12hour humanitarian ceasefire. After rejecting john kerry as longterm peace plan. Now john kerry is scrambling to figure out what to do next. Greta, the good news is they have agreed to a ceasefire here in gaza. It is seen as a positive step. Tomorrow morning both israel and hamas have agreed to a 12hour humanitarian ceasefire that will allow for medical supplies and food and gasoline to be brought in here to gaza to the many who are sick and in need here. More than 150,000 people have taken shelter in u. N. Facilities across all of gaza. Secretary of state john kerry and others were hoping there would be a wider, longer, much bigger ceasefire put in place. Kerry was pushing for a sevenday temporary ceasefire. Hamas never responded to the framework. Israels security cabinet rejected it outright saying it was too close to a hamas proposal, which was ironic because many thought the terms of the agreement that hamas would have rejected it outright, the big, the longterm ceasefire would have allowed israel to keep israeli troops here in gaza during a sevenday period. That seemed like it was des tend to be rejected by hamas but it
was israel that rejected it. Now were trying to see if there will be a longer extension of this 12hours. No word just yet but israels defense minister has warned the izs military may expand the scope of operations here in gaza in the next 24, 48 hours. So there is a potential after this ceasefire, greta, that the fighting could escalate going forward. Thank you. And developing now, an investigator stepping over debris, walking over that site where a missile took down a passenger jet killing more than 298 people and after more than a week, that crash site still not secured and russia escalating its military action in ukraine. Steve . Greta, no real signs of progress in the investigation at that crash scene site. A small number of european crash site experts have been at the scene for several days, special
from the osce, where in the past to days, they have found more human remains at the scene, more body parts. But for the most part, the site is unguarded. There have been talks about bringing in perhaps some armed security, some dutch police, some Australian Police but eight days in really thats still just talk as far as the return of the remains of the recovered bodies go, 74 more bodies in coffins were brought from Eastern Ukraine to the netherlands. Its likely that the transport of recovered bodies will finish up tomorrow. Still some remains at that crash site. And its really the fighting thats kept people and experts away from a that site. In a fighting going on between Ukrainian Government forces and russianbacked rebels but more and more as the fight goes on and the rebels continue to lose ground, the Russian Military playing a more direct role in the fighting, even shelling from the russian side of the border,
something that has alarmed not just ukrainian officials but u. S. State department and pentagon officials that the Russian Military increasingly is playing a direct role in this fight. As the rebels lose ground, their headquarters is heretsk, they promise to hold up here and fight it out to the end in what they promise could be another stalingrad. Weapons, tanks, shelling systems may help them in their fight. And president obama taking heat for fundraising. 12 fundraisers in just three weeks . Rnc chair Reince Priebus joins us. Hey, greta. I take it you have something to say about 12 fundraisers in the past three weeks. Can he not multitask . Well, the frustration by the border, you can have a fundraiser by the border and
get the president there and he can see firsthand whats going on. I dont know what it takes to engage the president. Some of this frustration you have and others have, we have at some point we have a speaker thats a republican, if you have a president that would engage, would knock heads together, i just think that this president is unfortunately, hes bizarrely aloof i think to the world around him. You have 300 people nearly that get shot out of the sky, all this conflict around the world, we have our own issues on the border. At some point i think the president has to engage and say maybe were going to cancel the fundraiser. Maybe were going to stay here in washington and im going to march down the halls of congress and try to handle some of this stuff. The word we keep hearing over and over, it looks bad if he
keeps going to fundraisers. Air force i is an office. President bush in 2004 but people would have been fired in bushs administration if a plane went down with almost 300 people on it and instead he went golfing. But he went to a fundraiser in 2004 when 200 people died on a train in madrid as a result of terrorism. My point is others have done it. Is this any different . I think its different because its a fixation on the politics, its a fixation on constantly campaigning. This idea that people are tired of the gridlock. I get it but harry reids got over 330 bills sitting in his office. Its not like the republicans arent passing bills. You need somebody to actually take the reins and try to get on top of this stuff so we have a president. Why doesnt harry reid put them on the floor . If he doesnt like them, let them get defeated. At least great vote. The problem with senator harry reid is he has a pocket veto. In order for anything to get to
the president , its got to be agreed to by both the house and the senate but by his inactivity, he stops everything from being considered. You cant even get it to conference. What the president is doing instead, hes doing fundraisers for the dnc and party committees. Hes not going out by mark udall in colorado. Theyre avoiding the president. The president s numbers are at 39 approval. All he is doing is raising money because thats all he can do. 30 seconds. It it doesnt go unnoticed that you and senator rand paul have gone into an area where we typically dont see republicans, which is the urban league today. I assume this is a new strategy in the Republican Party . I think we have to show up, earn trust. Its about time that the party reclaims or rightful history of the party of equal opportunity, freedom. Thats what our party is. Were the party of equality and
freedom. Its the other party that has a shameful history. You wouldnt know it because we dont talk about it. Mr. Chairman, nice to see you, sir. Thank you, greta.
