joining us now texas congressman
brian babin congressman we'd love having
you on on the show you're the border
security caucus co-chair okay
politico reporting that the
administration is now racing to do
damage control
as biden's approval numbers plunge over
his border crisis
that their messaging isn't working
saying trying to claim it's not a border
crisis
that they inherited it from trump you
know what's with the messaging how about
just fixing the policies
exactly i mean unless great to be with
you as always
uh the i think the plunging numbers for
for bain's approval stem directly from
a lot of his actions of course but this
this border crisis i think has got a lot
of people scared
they don't like to see how to control
borders they don't want to see
literally hundreds of thousands of
people come flowing across the border
we've already got
16 17 18 000
unaccompanied minors uh that are in
custody i've been down there i spent
three days down there
uh seeing some of these facilities that
you should have should have had uh
you know uh 200 folks in them and
they've got uh 5700
it's it's just outrageous and quite
frankly i think
when you start apprehending over 170 000
illegals coming across in one month a 70
percent increase over last month
that's got to make americans very very
nervous
that's about equal to a fort lauderdale
every month
you know also this the white house press
secretary jenn saki
today downplayed the seriousness of
terrorists being caught at the border
two terrorists from yemen on the fbi
watch list and no fly lists
were caught she's trying to claim this
is uncommon
also homeland security deleted a press
release about the yemeni terrorists
we've got border patrol stopping at
least 19
suspected terrorists at the border since
9 11 including isis
hezbollah the pakistani taliban so you
know
people are saying oh if you talk about
this this is hysteria
no dick cheney also said just one needs
to get through
to create a problem so do you think it's
overreacting to report about terrorists
being caught at the border
and why did homeland security delete the
press release about it
well homeland security has done a lot of
things kind of gag orders
unofficially they didn't want us to take
pictures in some of these facilities
they don't want to talk about people
being apprehended that are
on the terrorist watch list or the
no-fly list
they don't want folks to know about
what's going on down there because they
know it
is an absolute crisis and it is stemmed
directly
from the policies that president biden
reversed
of president trump and then when he he
handed off the
the uh uh the border issue to uh
kamala harris who want to ask if she was
going to come down there she simply just
laughed cackling kamala
we need to see her down there let's see
what what what some of her plans are
uh we've got 17 to 18 000 kids
formerly and known as cages uh in these
detention centers
and uh they need to re-implement title
42 or at least at least do it a lot more
than they are
the migrant protection protocols uh all
of these things and quite frankly i also
asked gao to investigate a possible a
violation by president biden of the
empowerment control act he needs to be
building these this wall yeah we hear
what you're saying you know
the question let me back up why are u.s
taxpayers being kept in the dark about
stuff
about issues that affect their family
security taxpayers don't know exactly
how many illegals are crossing
undetected tucker carlson also asked
about this too
how many terrorists how many criminal
illegal aliens we saw 4 500
criminal illegals since uh since october
how many gang members you know so we've
we're being kept in the dark here
let's watch this watch
the tucson sector is up to you know over
45 000 got aways
so when you start looking at the
individuals that have been apprehended
and people
that are on terrorist watch lists it
should
raise huge red flags been way over 100
000 people
that have gotten away from us this year
i think president biden just doesn't
care
i think he he plans
on admitting between two and three
million illegal immigrants
into our country this year this is
dangerous
uh the border patrol told me that at
least people
from 55 countries have already come in
uh people from all over the world are
going getting to mexico and flooding in
you got 10 seconds congressman 10
seconds sorry about that
all i can say is president biden is it's
incomprehensible what this man is doing
uh and he needs to to listen to the
american people he needs to
to reimplement these these things he's
got to
secure this border yes got it
congressman thank you so much appreciate
it
sorry we're up against the heart breaks
