IN TEXAS TALK TO LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADERS AND SOME MIGRANTS. SHE JOINS US NOW. HEY, RACHEL. >> Rachel: IT WAS REALLY EYE OPENING. FIRST OF ALL,GOOD MORNING AND THANKS FOR HAVING ME. I REALLY WANT TO THANK “FOX & FRIENDS” FOR SENDING ME DOWN TO THE BORDER BECAUSE IT WAS EYE-OPENING.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE SEEN TO UNDERSTAND IT’S APPALLING THAT JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS AREN’T LOOKING AT THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR POLICIES AND ARE ACTUALLY PURSUING APPEALING TO THE BLOCKING OF TITLE 42. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED ON THE TRIP BECAUSE I THINK YOU
WILL BE AMAZED AT THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN’T WANT US TO SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING. >> Rachel: GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF. STATE TROOPERS FROM TEXAS TAKING US UP OVER THE RIO GRANDE. WHAT DO WE HAVE RIGHT HERE? >> THIS IS A GROUP OF 130-PLUS THAT JUST CAME ACROSS.
AT LEAST FIVE BORDER PATROL AGENTS TIED UP PROCESSING ALL THESE MIGRANTS THAT CAME ACROSS. EXPOSES MORE VULNERABLE GAPS ON THE BORDER. >> WHAT ARE WE SEEING HERE LIKE A MAKESHIFT TENT. >> DEVELOP SOME OF THE OVERCROWDING IN THIS SECTOR. LIKE YOU SEE THERE, WHAT YOU SEE AROUND IT IS A FENCE.
THERE IS SOME TYPE OF STRUCTURE. GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT, YOU KNOW THINK BELIEVE HAVING A BARRIER IS PRIORITY OR VITAL WHAT THEY ARE DOING HERE AS FAR AS THE PROCESSING, BUT, YET, WE DON’T SEE THAT ON THE BORDER WHERE IT’S NEEDED. >> Rachel: WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT RIGHT HERE?
>> PANELS FROM THE PREVIOUS BORDER WALL THAT WAS BEING CONSTRUCTED OF COURSE WE KNOW THE BORDER WALL WAS CANCELED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. PANELS COULD BE USED FOR THE BORDER WALL. >> Rachel: AFTER GETTING A BIRD’S EYE VIEW HE TOOK ME TO GET A LOOK AT THE BORDER CRISIS
FRONT LINES RIGHT NEXT TO THE RIO GRANDE. >> THIS IS AN AREA THAT WE SEE INCREASED ACTIVITY. WE SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT CLOTHING BEEN DISSCARREDDED, SHOES AND DIFFERENT ITEMS. >> Rachel: THIS IS SOMEONE’S PRIVATE PROPERTY. >> THIS WAS PUT UP BY THE STATE TO STOP SOME OF THE CROSSINGS THAT WERE TAKING PLACE.
WHAT THEY’RE DOING IS SOME OF THE WET CLOTHING THEY USE IT TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BARBED WIRE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO CROSS OVER. THIS IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S JOB TO SECURITY THE BORDER. RIGHT NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS HAVING TO BEAR THIS BURDEN BY PROVIDING ALL THESE STATE RESOURCES NATIONAL GUARDSMEN.
THIS IS STATE FUNDED OPERATION. IT SHOULDN’T BE THAT WAY BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THIS IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO SAFEGUARD THE AMERICANS, SAFEGUARD THE BORDER. >> Rachel: WHO CONTROLS THIS AREA? HONESTLY? IS IT THE CARTELS. >> THE CAFERTTLES THEY ARE USING THAT MESSAGING AS FAR AS THE BORDER IS OPEN TO ENCOURAGE
THESE MIGRANTS TO MAKE THIS JOURNEY. EVERY PERSON THAT CROSSES THAT RIVER WHETHER IT BE A CHILD, A WOMAN, FAMILIES, THEY PAY A FEE TO THAT CARTEL. >> Rachel: I SPOKE TO SOME CUBANS INTERDICTED THIS MORNING. EACH ONE OF THEM SPENT ABOUT $12,000 TO THE COYOTES TO GET TO THIS POINT RIGHT HERE BECAUSE
THEY ARE BEING ARRESTED. >> Rachel: WE JUST SAW A GROUP OF ILLEGAL MIGRANTS CROSS OVER HERE. >> SO THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE ANY BENEFIT WHERE HE COMES FROM IS IF THEY WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT IN NICARAGUA. >> SO I STARTED TALKING TO THEM. THEY WERE WILLING TO GIVE ME AN
INTERVIEW BUT THEN THE BORDER PATROL CAME AND SAID NOW YOU ARE IN MY CUSTODY. YOU CAN’T TALK TO THEM — THE MEDIA ANYMORE. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOESN’T WANT US TO KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON. >> I HAVE BEEN SHOCKED BY THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY.
I DON’T BLAME BORDER PATROL. >> THEY NEED TO BE TRANSPARENT ON WHAT’S TAKING PLACE. THIS EFFECTS EVERYBODY THIS EFFECTS THE STATE OF TEXAS. EVERY STATE NOW IS A BORDER STATE BECAUSE OF THIS CRISIS. >> PROBABLY ONE OF THE SADDEST THINGS I HAVE SEEN IS THE CHILDREN THAT ARE COMING ACROSS.
LITTLE LIFE JACKET RIGHT THERE. OBVIOUSLY A CHILD’S LIFE JACKET. THEY ARE MAKING THIS JOURNEY WITH KIDS. >>THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN IMMIGRATION. OF COURSE IT’S BORDER SECURITY, NATIONAL SECURITY THE CHILDREN COMING ACROSS AND HOW BEING VICTIMIZED BY NOT JUST THE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION BUT WHERE DO THEY END UP.
>> Rachel: WE ARE STANDING IN FRONTS OF THE UNACCOMPANIED MINORS MIGRANT FACILITY FOR THE ENTIRE DEL RIO SECTOR. NOT EVEN THE MAYOR IS ALLOWED TO SEE WHAT GOES ON INSIDE. RECOMMENDATION WE HAD LOCAL CHUNKS AND DIFFERENT THINGS WENT OUT AND BOUGHT CLOTHES, FORMULA, FOOD FOR THE KIDS IN THERE.
TRIED BRING IT WEREN’T ALLOWED. >> THIS IS THE MOST NONTRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. YOU SEE SECRETARY MAYORKAS, AND HE HAS THIS GREAT ENTOURAGE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PEOPLE FOLLOW HIM EVERYWHERE HE GOES. GO STAY ON THE RANCH TWO MILES FROM THE BORDER. SEE WHAT THE COMMON ORDINARY
AMERICAN CITIZEN HAS TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE OF YOUR LACK OF ABILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THE BORDER. PARENT WON’T LET KIDS PLAY OUTSIDE UNLESS ONE OF THE PARENTS IS OUT THERE WITH A GUN BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S COMING BY. >> YOU CAN’T HANDLE THIS AMOUNT OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION COMING THROUGH.
>> WE CAN’T. THEY PULLED MOST OF OUR AGENTS TO GO OUT TO PROCESS. THEY DON’T PLAN TO SEND THESE PEOPLE BACK. THEY PLAN TO PROCESS THEM AS QUICKLY AS THEY CAN TO RELEASE THEM. THEY’RE NOT STAYING IN UVALDE. THEY ARE PASSING THROUGH. THEY ARE GOING TO YOUR COMMUNITY. GOING TO YOUR BIG CITIES.
GOING TO THE EAST COAST, GOING TO THE WEST COAST AND TO MID AMERICA. >> Rachel: IT WAS JUST AN INCREDIBLE TRIP. SO EYE-OPENING. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH LIEUTENANT AL VARES. THIS LITTLE BOY WAS CAPTURED ON THEIR CAMERAS. WEIGHS ABANDONED BY THE CARTELS. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR HIM TO SEE
WHERE IS HE AT. VERY COMMON, ONCE THE CHILD IS OF NO USE TO THE CARTEL AND TO THE GROUP THAT’S CROSSING OVER, THEY ARE OFTEN JUST LEFT THERE. THE MAYOR — BY THE WAY, I HAVE BEEN PRAYING ALL WEEKEND FOR HIM. HE IS THE SAME AGE, ACTUALLY LOOKS A LITTLE BIT LIKE MY
LITTLE BOY. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW HEART BREAKING IT IS THE MAYOR OF UVALDE TOLD ME WHILE HE CAN’T GET INTO THE FACILITIES, EVEN THOUGH HE HAS HAD CHURCHES WILLING GO IN TO HELP THE MIGRANT MINOR CENTER THEY WANTED TO MINISTER TO THE KIDS. READ TO THEM. BRING TOYS.
THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANYTHING. THEY ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO GET FROM OR SEE ANYTHING. THEY DO SEE OCCASIONALLY 11, 12, 13-YEAR-OLDS IN THE HOSPITAL IN THE LOCAL HOSPITAL IN UVALDE DELIVERING BABIES. WE KNOW THAT CHILDREN ARE BEING MISTREATED AND VICTIMIZED COMING ACROSS THIS BORDER. OUR GOVERNMENT KNOWS THAT AND
FRANKLY WE ARE ALL COMPLICIT IN IT. BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING. OUR GOVERNMENT KNOWS IT THEY ARE CONTINUING TO DO THIS. THE TAKE AAWAY FOR ME FOR THIS TRIP THIS IS NOT ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY. THIS IS ENTIRELY A PROCESSING PROGRAM FOR OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. INSTEAD OF SENDING PEOPLE BACK. THEY BUILD BIGGER PROCESSING
CENTERS MOVE PEOPLE THROUGH QUICKER AND SEND THEM OUT TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. >> Brian: RACHEL, REMAIN IN MEXICO TITLE 42 IGNORING THE POLICY. TITLE 42 THEY HAVE ALREADY TRANSFERRED IT. ALREADY BASICALLY LETTING PEOPLE THROUGH ANYWAY. YOU GET HERE, YOU’RE IN. THAT’S WHAT YOU WALK AWAY FROM.
I ALSO, WHAT A GREAT REPORT YOU DID. AND TO SEE THAT. >> Rachel: THANK YOU. >> Brian: SEE THAT FENCE, THAT WALL SITTING ON THE GROUND THAT WE PAID FOR. WE ARE PAYING TO STORE IT. INSTEAD OF ASSEMBLING IT AND PUTTING IT UP WITH THE TECHNOLOGY. THAT WOULD HELP THE PEOPLE THAT
YOU WERE WORKING WITH TODAY. >> Rachel: IT WAS SO INCREDIBLE TO BE UP ABOVE IN THAT HELICOPTER AND YOU SEE THIS NEW TENT CITY PROCESSING CENTER SURROUNDED BY A WALL BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN’T WANT US TO KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN THERE RIGHT NEXT TO IT THE RUSTING TRUMP
WALL WHICH THE STATE OF TEXAS OFFERED TO PAY FOR AND PUT UP THEMSELVES. AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAID NO, WE JUST ARE GOING TO LEAVE IT THERE RUSTING. WE PAID FOR THE CONTRACT TO PUT IT UP NO. ONE IS WORKING. THE WALLS ARE SITTING THERE. >> Will: ALL RIGHT. RACHEL. GREAT JOB.
IT’S A GREAT PIECE. IT TAKES US BEHIND THE SCENES AND ONTO THE FRONT LINES SEEING WHAT IS HAPPENING. >> Ainsley: HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIND THAT LITTLE BITE BOY. I CAN’T IMAGINE AS A MOM WHAT GOES THROUGH THEIR HEAD JUST GO. JUST
