>>> I WOULD PLEAD FOR YOU
SUPPORT IF OUR MEN AND WOMEN
DOING HEROIC WORK ALONG THE
BORDER.
WHILE OR 2020 BUDGET WILL HELP
ADDRESS THE CRISIS, WE'LL NEED
ADDITIONAL FUNDING EVEN SOONER.
GIVEN THE SCALE OF WHAT WE'RE
FACING, WE'LL EXHAUST OR
RESOURCES BEFORE THE END OF THE
THIS FISCAL YEAR WHICH IS WHY
THIS WEEK THE ADMINISTRATION
WILL BE SENDING A SUPPLEMENTAL
FUNDING REQUEST TO THE CONGRESS.
DAVID: THAT'S ACTING HOMELAND
SECURITY DIRECTOR SAYING THAT
CONGRESS IS RUNNING OUT OF
MONEY.
A NEW ABC POLL SHOWS THAT EVEN
DEMOCRATS ARE GROWING SHARPLY
MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CRISIS
ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
LET'S BRING IN CONGRESSMAN ANDY
BIGGS, BORDER SECURITY CAUCUS
COCHAIR.
MORE THAN MONEY, YOU HAVE
AMNESTY LAWS THAT HAVE GAPING
HOLES IN THEM LEADING TO TIN
FLUKES OF MIGRANTS.
ISN'T THAT MORE OF A PROBLEM
THAN MONEY?
>> WELL, ACTUALLY WE GOT TO HAVE
RESOURCES BECAUSE VE
RESOURCES BECAUSE WE HAVE NO
PLACE TO PAY PEOPLE COMING
ACROSS.
SO RIGHT NOW YOU GET ALL OF THE
APPLICANTS, WE CAN'T HOLD THEM.
AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE SEEING
PEOPLE NOW THAT WE CAN'T HOLD
WHO COME OVER AND SIMPLY, THEY
DON'T DECLARE ASYLUM THEY JUST
KNOW WE HAVE TO RELEASE THEM
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOWHERE TO PUT
THEM.
WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME FUNDING'
RESOURCE TO GET TEMPORARY
DETENTION CENTERS UP.
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, WE HAVE TO
DEAL WITH CLOSING THE LOOPHOLES
SUCH AS HOW THESE PEOPLE COME IN
AND DECLARE ASYLUM AND WE
IMMEDIATELY LET THEM LOOSE.
>> CONGRESSMAN, THIS IS GARY.
FOR MONTHS WE'VE BEEN HEARING
FOR WHAT CARAVANS AND WHAT
CRISIS EVEN THOUGH WE'VE BEEN
SEEING VIDEO OF VIDEO AFTER
VIDEO OF MANY COMING ACROSS.
SO WE'RE NOW HEARING DEMOCRATS
MAYBE WE DO HAVE A CRISIS.
IS ANYBODY ACTUALLY ON THE MOVE.
DO THEY RECOGNIZE IT'S AN
IMMEDIATE CONCERN RIGHT NOW THAT
HAS TO BE ATTENDED TO?
>> I'M NOT SEEING THE URGENCY
THAT I WOULD EXPECT, IF THEY
REALLY BELIEVED IT WAS AN
EMERGENCY.
SO WHAT I'M SUGGESTING TO YOU IS
SOME OF THEM -- I ACTUALLY HEARD
ONE SAY THE OTHER DAY THAT IS
STILL A MANUFACTURED CRISIS.
I THOUGHT WE GOT RID OF THAT
NARRATIVE ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
IT IS REAL AND I INVITE ALL OF
MY COLLEAGUES TO DISPUTE WHETHER
IT'S REAL TO COME DOWN TO THE
BORDER, I'LL TAKE THEM.
I DON'T TRY TO SWAY IT.
BUT IT'S REAL.
BUT THE URGENCY IS NOT THERE
YET.
BECAUSE I THINK -- BUT I THINK
WE'RE GETTING CLOSER BECAUSE
YOU'RE GETTING SOME COMING ON
SAYING IT'S A REAL PROBLEM.
YOU'RE GETTING PLACES IN STATES
LIKE NEW MEXICO DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY.
THAT'S CRITICAL TO GETTING THE
CRITICAL MASS NECESSARY TO TURN
THE TIDE.
>> CONGRESSMAN, JOHN, GOOD TO
HAVE YOU ON THE SHOW, SIR.
I SAW ONE REPORT THAT HAD
860,000 ASYLUM CASES STILL
PENDING RIGHT NOW.
THIS HAS GN GOING
THIS HAS BN GOING
THIS HAS BEEGOING
THIS HAS BEENOING
THIS HAS BEEN GNG
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE
SOME TIME.
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE OF
YEARS TO WORK THROUGH.
EVEN IF YOU ADD A DETENTION
CENTER.
WE CAN'T BUILD A DETENTION
CENTER FOR A MILLION PEOPLE.
I KNOW YOU'RE NOT IMPLYING THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN
YOU CLOSE THE LOOPHOLES.
WHAT HAPPENS PHYSICALLY AT THE
BORDER.
DO YOU TURN THE PEOPLE AWAY?
HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE ASYLUM
SYSTEM.
EVEN IF YOU BUILD THE WALL,
PEOPLE CLAIMING ASYLUM, THIS IS
THE NO GOING TO WORK.
>> OF THE 860,000, HERE'S THE
WAY TO THINK OF IT.
THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE GENERAL
PUBLIC.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET THEM BACK
ANYTIME SOON BUT THERE'S A FLOOD
COMING OWE
COMING OVER NOW.
WE CAN MAYBE DETAIN SOME OF
THOSE WHETHER WE GUILD
THOSE WHETHER WE BUILD THE
DETENTION CENTERS.
THE WAY WE GET AT THIS AS WELL
IS WE CAN MAKE OUR CBP AGENTS,
TURN THEM INTO IMMIGRATION
OFFICERS.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEY CAN
MAKE SOME DETERMINATIONS
IMMEDIATELY AND THAT MIGHT HELP
US AS WELL.
BUT WE HAVE GOT TO ALSO LEVERAGE
MEXICO.
MEXICO HAS GOT TO KEEP SOME OVER
ON THEIR SIDE OF THE BORDER.
THE WAY YOU LEVERAGE THAT THEY
HAVE TO SIGN AN INTERNATIONAL
PROTOCOL SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO
BE RECOGNIZED AS THE LAST SAFE
STATE AND THEY'LL HOLD THOSE
PEOPLE.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEAT
THE NINTH CIRCUIT RULING THAT
CAME OUT TEN DAYS AGO.
>> CONGRESSMAN, CAROL ROTH.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAUGHT THE
'60 MINUTES "PIECE OVER THE
WEEKEND BUT THEY DID A PIECE ON
THE BORDER AND WHAT WAS STRIKING
TO ME WAS THE LEVEL OF TREATMENT
THAT THESE PEOPLE AT THE BORDER
WERE RECEIVING.
THEY WERE GETTING FOOD, THEY
WERE GETTING SHELTER, THERE WERE
DIAPERS FOR THE YOUNG KIDS,
MEDICAL CARE.
THE REALITY IS THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE BUCKING OUR LAWS ARE BEING
TREATED PET
TREATED BETTER THAN THESE IN OUR
OWN COUNT FRIDAY.
THE PEOPLE ON THE WEST SIDE OF
CHICAGO WHERE I LIVE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE CITIZENS
WHO ARE SEEING PEOPLE COMING
HERE ILLEGALLY, BREAKING OUR
LAWS AND GETTING MORE DOLLARS
AND ATTENTION THAN SOME OF THE
CITIZENS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY.
DAVID: QUICK ANSWER,
CONGRESSMAN.
>> THAT'S THE FRUSTRATION.
THEY'RE GETTING THREE MEALS AND
MORE ATTENTION THAN SOME OF OUR
CITIZENS.
THAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY AND
MORALLY WRONG.
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO DO
