0 food and we will come here. >> will: no laughing either. adam, this was fun. thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> thank you for watching fox news primetime. i will see you on fox and friends tomorrow. tucker carlson is next. good tucker carlson. happy friday. jupiter is a pretty little town in the east coast of florida, 90 miles north of miami. it's a safe and orderly place. a ton of nice people. not all by the way are rich which is unusual for a coastal town. it's a normal place in other words. it's the country you remember. you woulden mind living there for sure. but over the weekend jupiter florida looked less like the america of 1980 and more like the america that joe biden is creating right now which is to say chaotic, crazy, out of control. families sitting on the beach in jupiter this sunday watched as a boat carrying dozens of unemployed illegal immigrants pulled up on shore. people ran through the waves and scattered. not what you would expect on a sunday on the beach but not everybody was surprised to see this happen. another boat handed there just in the summer. it's becoming a regular occurrence in jupiter, florida. in the end federal authorities caught a number of migrants according to customs and border protection. haitians will be processed for removal proceedings. that doesn't mean they're sent home. in fact, most will not be sent home but will stay here forever. they came here illegally. take a look at this chart that shows data, the results of immigration hearings so far under joe biden. more than 70% of the illegal aliens have been allowed to stay in your country after their so-called deportation proceeding. there's no deportation involved. immigration officers hate this. they're not allowed to do their jobs but they're not in control. joe biden is in control and joe biden is trying to change this country as fast as he can. you may not know this, most americans have no idea it's happening but the rest of the world is watching closely. if you live in an impoverished country and like a better job and free health care courtesy of american taxpayers, come on in and they are. >> the sheriff's office. >> the best way i can describe the border is chaos. absolute chaos. >> the arizona national guard. >> this has been the largest surge of immigrants that i have seen in my career. >> since october of this year, customs and border protection reported close to 22,000 encounters in the huma sector, a 2,600% increase from this time last year. dennis cook's backyard overlooks the unfinished border wall and sees the crossings and knows how overwhelmed border patrol is. >> there's time i call and border patrol says we can't do anything. since i've been on camera, i bet you we have had 20 people cross already. >> this is totally crazy. you're not supposed to mention they racialized everything so you can't say anything. most republicans intimidated into silence. they don't want to be called names. nothing like this has ever happened in the united states and important for two reasons. the first is the rule of law. remember that? there are people right now still being held in solitary confinement because they trespass in a building that technically they own that's called the capitol of the united states and they're still there in jail. but millions of foreign nationals just walk in, ignoring our laws completely and that's totally cool because equity or something. how can anybody respect the laws of the united states when they are being ignored by the people in charge of enforcing them? there's a massive cost to that. and here's the second point to make. you cannot overstate the scale of demographic change underway right now in the united states. it's a direct assault on our democracy. democracy is the process by which the population elects its representatives. if you change the population you dilute the political power of the people who live there. it's an assault on democracy. at what scale, here's an example, customs and border protection caught more than 170,000 foreign nationals crossing into our country from mexico last month. how many people is that? well, that's the equivalent of the entire population of knoxville, tennessee. in the single month that's a record. but it's happening every month. month after month. under joe biden. and those are just the people we're catching. so this and let's not lie about it, this is the democratic party's reelection plan. new york is only allowing noncitizens to vote. expect that trend to spread because equity. has nothing to do with equity or race. it's about politics. the whole point of this. in the end, a lot of these people may turn out to have political views the democratic party does not expect whatsoever. particularly the latino immigrants. we'll have more in a minute. purely as an economic matter, this is a disaster. no wise person would do this. this country is getting poorer in part because of inflation. no one wants to face that truth but it is true. is this really the time to import millions of low skilled laborers? probably not. what are all these people going to be doing for work in ten years? that's a real question. the current labor shortage has accelerated the automation of low skill jobs. it's simple. ask anybody with a business. employers can't find workers. food delivery service grubhub has rolled out autonomous delivery on college campuses across the country everywhere. there's a lot less low skilled work available very soon. how is that going to end for us? we have got millions of new arrivals with no jobs. opening the border may be the single most destructive thing that any administration has ever done to this country and we have chronicled this from the beginning. hey, bill. >> hey, good evening to you. look, if you want an indication of how overwhelmed and undermanned our border patrol agents are, take a look at this video. this was five nights in a row, we imbedded up in the kinny county area looking for illegal immigrant runners. these are guys dressed in black and camo trying to evade. everywhere you're looking at, this terrain, this is ten miles inland from the rio grand. >> all these runners have made it past border patrol. only troopers are patrolling the private ranches. if they weren't out, all these runners would make it into texas without any resistance whatsoever and we were with them five nights in a row watching them arrest dozens every night. these people are not coming here to give themselves up or claim asylum. they're trying to sneak further into texas and when the troopers catch them, they arrest them and take them to jail for criminal trespassing. so far they have made more than 2,000 arrests on those private ranches just in the last couple of months or so. and then we'll show you the video from yesterday in the rio grand valley. la hoya migrants continue to spill in. everywhere they're crossing is federal land. no federal wall. there's no resistance. these units show up by the hundreds pretty much every day looking for border patrol to give themselves up. we talk about how they're coming in from all over the world. a source telling me yesterday border patrol picked up two men traveling together. one from morocco and the other from syria. back to you. >> amazing. so texas is the state in to which the majority of these migrants are coming. greg abbott is the governor of texas and announced he's building a border wall in texas to protect his state. this strikes us as big news. and grateful to have governor abbott join us to explain. thanks for coming on. so tell us, you are building a border wall? >> we are. tucker, this is unprecedented. both in speed and in reason because never before has a state of the united states of america had to step up and build its own border wall. we have to do that because of all the things that you were talking about that joe biden has done. but also, the speed with which we have been able to do this. i just signed a document exactly six months ago directing the texas facilities commission to begin billing a border wall and month after that i signed two budgets where texas taxpayers are spending $3 billion, that's with a b, $3 billion for texas to do the federal government's job to step up and secure the border. a large portion of that money is going to build this border wall. i don't know if you're showing images of it or not. but the border wall we're building is built by some of the people who built the border wall for the trump administration and is the exact same wall. 30 feet high. it's made out of steel rods. the steel rods are about six inches by six inches. and this is an extraordinary barrier that we're putting up by the football field per day. we're putting up well over 100 yards each and every day. we're going to continue to build it. and i can explain in part why we're able to move so rapidly. even faster than the trump administration was able to move. first, part of the land that we are building on is owned by the state of texas. second, there are so many large landowners on the border who are so fed up with the biden administration that they are allowing texas to build the border wall on their property. we have 100 miles or so of land being donated to the state of texas for us to build the wall to better secure our border. >> for hundreds of years people have gone back and forth between mexico and texas, never a huge deal. i mean, you know, texas was never uptight about immigration but the scale got so crazy, it seems like people's attitudes are changing. >> well, people's attitudes are changing, especially those who live on the border. >> right. >> as you point out, people coming across the border, it was kind of commonplace. however, the people who live on the border are primarily hispanic. >> right. >> and the hispanics who live on the border are fed up with these open border policies. candidly they're socialistic policies and that is why you see all these counties on the border, they voted overwhelmingly and strongly in favor of president trump. and they are turning republican because they are against the socialistic policies that are advocated by the biden administration. open border policies are globalist policies destroying the united states of america and that's why we're building the border wall, we have the national guard on the border, that's why we are arresting and jailing people coming across the border. >> amazing development. i appreciate your coming on. thanks. >> thank you, tucker. >> the governor didn't overstate the change in political attitudes because of this wave of immigration. 60% of latino voters backed democrats last year. which is actually a lot smaller than most people in washington ever expected but according to a new poll hispanic voters divided between democrat and republican. what is going on here? i mean you don't see changes like this in american politics this abrupt ever. but you're seeing it now. associate editor of chronicle joins us now to help explain what we're watching. thanks for coming on. what are we watching here? >> so i think the important thing is that the shift is ultimately unsurprising. we have been here before. the policies of mass immigration supported by white liberals directly affect the lives of these people. economically and culturally. stuff like latinx was always a liberal project to turn his us panics into a progressive voting block identifiable only by support for blm, transgenderism, mass immigration and spicy food. but when you look at service on national populist positions, you'll see many hispanics mirror their white counter parts and view political correctness as a problem. they value america's european heritage and worth preserving. they believe america must reduce the number of immigrants it admits every year. i fave a immigration moratorium. all these positions are horrific to the white liberal who view brown people as tokens to signal their virtue. these people are sick. there's another problem a part from these pathetic white liberals. many independent of rhetoric want to use this new found support among hispanics to justify and name progressive projects like mcdaniel's new coalition and criminal justice reform. last year in wisconsin you saw a shift among hispanic voters partly due to blm rise. they're not fond of those. this year a blm supporter, daryl brooks drove his car in a christmas parade, killing six and injuring more than 60. where is the gop's law and order message? where is their national vision that isn't just a moderate version of the democratic platform with more foreign wars? we haven't seen it yet. >> i thought if we did real polling in spanish of salvador immigrants what do you think we should do about law and order? that should be the republican platform on law and order. thank you for your analysis of that. >> thanks for having me. >> so you're watching colleges and universities across the country shut down. but wait a second. everyone there is fascinated. they can't be on campus if they're not. why are they shutting down again? one major school district announced it's going back to virtual learning. something very strange is going on. we'll explain next.
