DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
THANK YOU.
>> WE ARE SENDING THEM TO THE
UNITED STATES CAPITOL WHERE THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WILL BE
ABLE TO MORE IMMEDIATELY
ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE
THEY ARE ALLOWING TO COME
ACROSS OUR BORDER.
>> Dana: TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG
ABBOTT HAS THE NEW PLAN TO
HANDLE THE GROWING SURGE OF
MIGRANTS TO HIS STATE.
YOU SEE IT REPORTED HERE EVERY
DAY.
IN ADDITION TO OTHER MEASURES
THE STATE WILL BEGIN SENDING
MIGRANTS ON CHARTER BUSES
DIRECTLY TO WASHINGTON DROPPING
THEM OFF AT THE STEPS OF THE
U.S. CAPITOL.
GOVERNOR ABBOTT JOINS US FROM
AUSTIN, TEXAS.
YOU ARE VERY FRUSTRATED THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISN’T DOING
ITS JOB TO PROTECT THE BORDER.
CONGRESSWOMAN FROM YOUR STATE
HAD THOUGHTS ABOUT YOUR
PROPOSAL.
>> ACTS OF HYSTERIA AND
GRANDSTANDING, NATIONAL GUARD
AT THE BORDER TO THE EXTENT
THEY ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE.
NOW ANNOUNCEMENT OF MASSES
BUSES OF MIGRANTS THAT MAY BE
COMING ACROSS.
I THINK EITHER SENDING THEM I
SAW THE WORD WASHINGTON
NOT SURE WASHINGTON, D.C. OR
WASHINGTON STATE.
THOSE ARE NOT PROBLEM SOLVING,
THOSE ARE JUST CREATING THE
GRAND MARCH OF HYSTERIA.
>> Dana: TELL US MORE ABOUT
YOUR PLAN AND A PRESS RELEASE
ISSUED THAT EXPLAINED THAT THE
MIGRANTS HAVE TO VOLUNTEER TO
GET ON A BUS TO GO TO
WASHINGTON, D.C.
IS THAT RIGHT?
>> WELL LET ME EXPLAIN HOW THE
WHO PROCESS WORKS.
FIRST THE BIG GOAL WE’RE
SEEKING TO ACHIEVE, JOE BIDEN
HAS REFUSED TO COME TO THE
BORDER TO SEE THE CHAOS HE HAS
CREATED BY HIS OPEN BORDER
POLICIES.
WE’LL TAKE THE BORDER TO HIM BY
TRANSPORTING THE PEOPLE THAT HE
IS DROPPING OFF IN THESE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE OF
TEXAS AND SENDING THEM TO
WASHINGTON BY PLANE OR BUS.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THERE IS
AN INCREASED NUMBER OF PEOPLE
COMING ACROSS THE BORDER THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ARE
PROCESSING AND THEN LETTING
LOOSE.
WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SO FAR
IS THOSE PEOPLE WILL BE GETTING
ON BUSES AND GOING TO SAN
ANTONIO OR HOUSTON OR OTHER
PLACES LIKE THAT AND SO I THINK
THEY NEED LONGER BUS RIDES.
WITH REGARD TO THE VOLUNTARY
COMPONENT UNDERSTAND THIS.
THAT IS DANA, IF I WERE TO GO
TO WASHINGTON, D.C. AND TAKE
YOU AND PUT YOU ON A BUS AND
TAKE YOU DOWN TO THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY, THAT WOULD BE
KIDNAPPING.
SAME THING APPLIES TO ANYBODY
WHO REFUSES TO GET ONTO A BUS
THAT WOULD BE KIDNAPPING EVEN
THOUGH IT WOULD BE BY A LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.
THERE ARE LAWS THAT HAVE TO BE
FOLLOWED IN THE PROCESS.
THAT SAID I CAN TELL YOU THIS.
OVERNIGHT THERE WERE MULTIPLE
COMMUNITIES IN THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY THAT HAVE BEEN IN
COMMUNICATION WITH OUR OFFICE
ASKING US TO PROVIDE BUSES FOR
THEM, MAYBE EVEN PLANES TO
PROVIDE FOR THEM FOR THE
MOVEMENT OF THESE MIGRANTS.
LISTEN, THESE MIGRANTS, ONCE
THEY COME ACROSS THE BORDER
IT’S NOT AS IF THEY WANT TO
STAY DOWN IN THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY.
AS YOU HAVE ALREADY REPORTED
PREVIOUSLY THEY ARE MOVING
ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
AS THEY MOVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WHAT BETTER PLACE FOR THEM TO
GO TO THAN THE STEPS OF THE
UNITED STATES CAPITOL.
THEY GET TO SEE THE WONDERFUL
CAPITOL BUT GET CLOSER TO THE
PEOPLE MAKING THESE POLICIES
THAT ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO
COME ACROSS THE BORDER
ILLEGALLY.
>> Bill: GOVERNOR, IN SUMMARY
THEN YOU’LL MAKE THE OFFER AND
IT’S UP TO THEM TO SAY YES OR
NO TO GET ON BOARD THAT BUS.
>> BILL, HERE IS THE DEAL.
THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR
WEEKS IF NOT MONTHS NOW.
WE KNOW THE PROCESS ALREADY
WORKS.
IT IS JUST A MATTER OF
RELOCATING THE DROP-OFF POINT
AS OPPOSED TO SAN ANTONIO,
HOUSTON OR SOME OTHER PLACE.
AS YOU ALSO KNOW, THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN
TRANSPORTING THESE PEOPLE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY THE SAME
PRINCIPLE APPLIES FOR THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
THEY CAN’T BE KIDNAPPING PEOPLE
THEY’VE AUTHORIZED TO BE IN THE
UNITED STATES LEGALLY.
THEY HAVE TO GET THEIR
PERMISSION TO MOVE THEM ACROSS
THE UNITED STATES ALSO.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE
KNOW THERE IS HIGH DEMAND FOR
ALREADY AND WE WILL BE
FULFILLING THAT DEMAND BY
PUTTING THESE PEOPLE ON BUSES
AND PLANES AND TAKING THEM TO
WASHINGTON, D.C.
>> Bill: UNDERSTOOD.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT MORE YOU CAN
DO WITH SECURITY AT THE BORDER.
A STATE ISSUE THAT YOU CAN
FLESH OUT THERE.
WITH REGARD TO TITLE 42 A MONTH
AND A HALF AWAY NOW SEEMS LIKE
THE BALL IS UP IN THE AIR.
WE TALKED TO TOM COTTON TWO
HOURS AGO.
SENATOR MARK KELLY FROM ARIZONA
WANTS MORE ANSWERS.
A NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS ON THE
BUBBLE FOR BEING REELECTED IN
NOVEMBER.
APPARENTLY CONCERNS FROM THEM
AS WELL.
JOE MANCHIN IS NOT ON BOARD.
NEITHER IS KYRSTEN SINEMA FROM
ARIZONA.
SEEMS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE SOME
WIGGLE ROOM WHETHER OR NOT
CONGRESS CAN PUSH BACK ON THE
IDEA THAT TITLE 42 WOULD BE
REVOKED IN LATE MAY.
>> WELL, YOU ARE SPOT ON.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THIS
IS A BIPARTISAN ISSUE.
BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
REALIZE THE CHAOS THAT THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS CAUSED.
THE INHUMANITY OF WHAT THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAVE
CAUSED.
A DISCHARGE PETITION IN THE
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
THAT WOULD REQUIRE A VOTE ON
THIS.
AND YOU MAY SEE THE SAME THING
ON THE SENATE SIDE.
LISTEN, EVERYONE REALIZES, LET
ME GIVE YOU THIS NUMBER.
ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY THEY ARE
EXPECTING AFTER TITLE 42 IS
REMOVED TO HAVE AS MANY AS
18,000 PEOPLE COME ACROSS THE
BORDER A DAY.
IF YOU CALCULATE ON AN ANNUAL
BASIS THAT WILL BE MORE THAN 5
MILLION PEOPLE COMING ACROSS
THE BORDER ILLEGALLY EVERY YEAR.
THOSE WILL BE THE ONES
APPREHENDED.
THIS CLEARLY IS UNPRECEDENTED.
A HIGH VOLUME THAT THE UNITED
STATES AND STATES LIKE TEXAS
ARE ILL EQUIPPED TO BE ABLE TO
DEAL WITH AND THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION HAS NO IDEA
ABOUT THE CHAOS IT STOKED.
YOU THINK AMERICANS ARE ANGRY
ABOUT INFLATION?
WAIT UNTIL THEY SEE THE CHAOS
ON THE BORDER BECAUSE OF
BIDEN’S OPEN BORDER POLICIES.
>> Dana: IT HURTS THOSE TRYING
TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS
LEGALLY BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE
GETS BACKED UP.
