in a 5-4 vote the supreme court blocked the biden administration from repealing the trump-era policy letting border agents turn away migrants over health concerns. the high court will hear oral arguments in february. rich: president biden has no plan to secure the border. images of large groups of migrants crossing into the country illegally every single day. leaders there are getting frustrated with the lack of action from washington. we re asking the biden administration to come down here, visit our border, talk to our border patrol agents, and to the cities around here. we re talking 10, 12,000 people crossing our borders at one time. they have not put any policy nor any plan in place. rich: big numbers. three days border patrol encountered nearly 15,000 migrants, plus 500 pounds of marijuana, one gang member, one murder suspect and the list goes on. julie: we re covering the crisis from every angle. council president brandon judd joins us in a moment but first mat
Reacting to this last night came out with a statement. the president a couple hours after the supreme court ruling spoke on the lawn of the white house. here is what the president had to say. president biden: the border is not going to be decided we have to enforce it. but i think it s overdue. the white house said it was advancing its preparations for the end of title 42. how much have they prepared for this? i can personally tell you that they have done absolutely nothing. there are no new programs, operations or plans in place. no new programs, operations or plans even forthcoming. if they were they could implement them right now. we could stop the border crisis right now. president trump proved that and we can go back and do it again. unfortunately, again, this administration plays to its base. it panders to that open border crowd that they know will get out and support this president.
How significant is this ruling? the situation is pretty bad already. it continues that for a few months. like congressman gonzalez said i m grateful we re able to keep title 42 in place. the border is already broken and biden can skirt around the title 42 supreme court decision. all he has to do is give more carve-outs to individuals. when you look at what we re doing, we re only expelling a third of the people that cross our borders under title 42 as it is. the reason we re only doing that biden has given too many carve outs to too many different countries and why the border is broken. if he would keep title 42 in place as it was intended where we were expelling 95 to 99% of the people, people wouldn t cross the borders illegally. people stop putting themselves in the hands of these dangerous criminal cartels. the vulnerable women and children would not be drowning in the rivers, dying in the des erodes of arizona or being
wow, that looks so nice. that looks beautiful. nice and warm and the sun shining. great day here, happy wednesday, everybody. we get to see you guys on the five. see you then. fox news alert. title 42 remains in place stopping a flood of migrants from crossing the board are and into the country for now. good morning, i m rich edson in for bill hemmer. julie: i m julie banderas in for dana perino. this is america s newsroom. you re in person. you are real. rich: i am. julie: we don t get to meet when we re in different bureaus. i enjoy being in person.
That s why they are doing what they re dochlth it is all about politics. it is bad governance, not about the safety and security of the american people. rich: title 42, title eight. title 42 is in effect right now. when it goes away the administration says it will use title eight. what is that and why does it make it more difficult for border agents? title eight does absolutely nothing. what it does, it allows us to put people in deportation proceedings. if the people challenge the proceedings or claim asylum they will be released into the united states. and that s what is the magnet drawing so many people across the borders illegally is the ruling. if we held people in place or reimplemented remain in mexico, we would see illegal border crossings drop to 45-year lows. when they drop we can go after the cartels and able to go after the profits and all of the dangerous things that cross our border illegally. title eight is broken, borders are broken.
