EVEN LOOK AT EACH OTHER 9 RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WITH >> ALL EYES ON OUR BORDER TODAY
WAITING TO SEE WHETHER THE U.S.
AND TEXAS CAN HANDLE THE END OF
TITLE. 42, ITS TERMINATION,
BRINGING NEW RULES FOR THOSE
SEEKING ASYLUM AS WELL AS
CONCERNED THAT OUR BORDER WILL
BE JUMPED ILLEGALLY BY
THOUSANDS WHO DON’T QUALIFY.
WE HAVE CREWS ALL ALONG THE
TEXAS BORDER, INCLUDING ALYSSA
COLE IN EAGLE PASS. SO ALYSSA,
THEY ARE EXPECTING 10,000
MIGRANTS CROSSING A DAY ALL
ALONG THE BORDER. ANY SIGN THAT
THE PATROL, THE BORDER PATROLS
WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL
THAT.
URSULA? GOOD AFTERNOON. WE’RE
LEARNING THAT IS PRETTY MUCH
ALMOST 3 TIMES WHAT THEY CAN
COMFORTABLY HANDLE. BORDER
PATROL AGENTS ARE TYPICALLY
USED TO HANDLING ABOUT 35.
>> 100 MIGRANTS FOR PROCESSING
A DAY. BUT THAT NUMBER HAS
INCREASED.
ALYSSA, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN
SEEING SO FAR OUT THERE?
I MEAN, ARE THEY ARE THEY’RE
CROWDS WAITING TO GET IN.
YOU KNOW, RIGHT HERE, THE EAGLE
PASS. IT HAS BEEN PRETTY QUIET.
WE WE ARE RIGHT ACROSS FROM PM
THAT A SNAKE US HERE AND THEY
ARE RIGHT ACROSS FROM MEXICO
BEHIND ME. YOU PROBABLY CAN
SEE THEM. MEXICAN POLICE
AUTHORITY. THEY’VE BEEN OUT
DAY HERE ON OUR SIDE. THE STATE
SIDE THERE, DPS OFFICERS.
THEY’RE ALSO NATIONAL
GUARDSMEN. WE KNOW THEY’RE PART
OF OPERATION LONE STAR.
>> SO RIGHT NOW THEY HAVE JUST
BEEN SITTING OUT WAITING.
THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF
ACTIVITY EARLIER THAT WAY
TOWARDS THE SON, BORDER PATROL
OFFICIALS. THEY DID DRIVE-BY
EARLIER IN THE PICKUP TRUCK.
THEY WERE TAKING SOME MIGRANTS
ON THEIR WAY TO THE PROCESSING
CENTER TO GET THEM PROCESS.
BUT FOR HERE, IT HAS BEEN.
SO FOR THE MOST PART.
A LIST WE’VE BEEN WATCHING SOME
OF THE FOOTAGE OF BEHIND THE
SCENES.
>> WE KNOW THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE IS SENDING ABOUT 1500
SOLDIERS TO THE BORDER. THERE
PROBABLY ARE ALREADY DO WE KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO
BE DOING?
YES, SO WHEN IT COMES TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, THE
SOLDIERS THAT ARE COMING TO THE
BORDER BETWEEN EL PASO
BROWNSVILLE, WE KNOW THAT THEIR
DUTIES ARE GOING TO BE
ADMINISTRATIVE RELATED TO HELP
THOSE FEDERAL AGENTS. THOSE
PEOPLE HERE ON THE GROUND THAT
INCLUDES DATA ENTRY. THIS
INCLUDES TRANSPORTATION
BECAUSE, YOU OR YOU BROUGHT UP
A GOOD POINT EARLIER AS FAR AS
HOW BUSY IT IS GOING TO BE NOT
SO BUSY HERE IN L PATS ARE
SKEWS ME AN EAGLE PASS. BUT IN
OTHER PLACES WE’VE COME FROM
DATA FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY. BACK ON
TUESDAY, THEY MET THAT NUMBER
THAT THEY ANTICIPATED THAT
10,000 THAT NUMBER WAS MET BACK
ON TUESDAY AT 2000. SO WHEN
THOSE SOLDIERS COME DOWN, THEY
WILL BE A HUGE HELP TO THOSE
HERE ARE REDEPLOYED ON THE
BORDER.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
10,000 ALL READY AND TITLE.
42 IS NOT YET OUT OF PLACE.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ALSO
LISTS ARE ROLLING OUT SOME NEW
RULES TO REPLACE TITLE 42.
AND WE UNDERSTAND THEY’RE
PRETTY STRICT HAVING TO DO WITH
ASYLUM.
THEY ARE PRETTY STRICT. AND,
YOU KNOW, THESE RULES ARE GOING
TO PLAY. LET’S LET’S GIVE A
LITTLE BACKGROUND CONTEXT
BEFORE WITH THESE NEW RULES
WILL BE GOING INTO EFFECT TODAY
BEFORE WE GET INTO THOSE
DETAILS. SO WE KNOW TITLE 42
WAS ENACTED BACK IN 2020
BETWEEN 2020 UP TO NOW DHS,
THEY HAVE TO TAKE 2.8 MILLION
MIGRANTS ON OUR SOUTHWEST
BORDER HERE AT THE TEXAS U.S.
MEXICO BORDER. THAT’S A LARGE
NUMBER. SO ONCE TITLE, 42 IS
GONE TONIGHT, ONE MINUTE BEFORE
MIDNIGHT AT 11, 59, THESE NEW
RULES THAT ARE STRICT THAT YOU
MENTIONED WILL BE GOING INTO
PLACE. AND THAT INCLUDES IF
ANYONE IS CAUGHT CROSSING THE
BORDER ILLEGALLY, THEY WILL
BE BARRED FROM ENTERING THE
UNITED STATES FOR 5 YEARS AND
THEY COULD FACE FELONY CHARGES.
NOW, THE REASON WHY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS GOING IN THIS
DIRECTION WITH THE STRICT
RULES, THEY’RE TRYING TO
ENCOURAGE HIM, PUSH THOSE SAFE
PATHWAYS TO THAT LEGAL ASYLUM
LEGAL RESIDENCY IN THE UNITED
STATES. THEY HAVE A PLAN THAT
THEY’RE ROLLING OUT. WE DO KNOW
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS IN
THE WORKS OF SITTING UP 100
PROCESSING CENTERS IN THE
WESTERN HEMISPHERE. THAT
INCLUDES A LATIN AMERICA,
COLOMBIA, GUATEMALA, TO BE
SPECIFIC. THEY HAVE OTHER
LOCATIONS THAT THEY HAVEN’T
RELEASED YET BECAUSE THOSE
PLANS ARE STILL ROLLING OUT THE
EVEN WITH THOSE 100 PROCESSING
CENTERS. THAT MEANS ASYLUM
SEEKERS CAN GO TO THOSE
COUNTRIES INSTEAD OF TRAVELING
THIS DANGEROUS TRAIL TO THIS.
OUR OUR SOUTHWEST BORDER, THEY
CAN SEEK ASYLUM THERE FOR THE
UNITED STATES FOR CANADA AND
FIRST AID ARE SOME OF THE BIG
THING IS RIGHT NOW. WHILE THESE
PLANS SOUND GREAT AND THEY’RE
UNDER WAY, THAT’S EXACTLY THE
THING. THEY’RE UNDER WAY.
THEY HAVEN’T BEEN ESTABLISHED.
SO RIGHT NOW THERE IS SOME
CONFUSION. THERE IS A LITTLE
FRUSTRATION FOR THOSE MIGRANTS
THAT ARE IN ROUTE FOR THE
MIGRANTS THAT ARE ALREADY HERE
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BORDER
BETWEEN EL PASO AND BETWEEN
BROWNSVILLE BECAUSE THEY PASS
THOSE COUNTRIES ARE READY.
WILL THEY STILL BE ABLE TO GET
ASYLUM? THAT’S THE BIG QUESTION
FLOATING AROUND TODAY.
ALL GOOD INFORMATION, ALYSSA,
IT IS. YOU KNOW, IT IS KIND
OF IT.
>> A LITTLE LATE TO BE CHANGING
THE RULES. BUT HERE WE ARE.
WE’RE GOING TO SEE HOW THE NEW
