president trump warning mexico to take action or else. >> it's a horrible situation and mexico could stop it at their southern border. it's very easy for them to stop people from coming up and they don't choose to do it. well, we're not going to give them hundreds of billions of dollars and tell them that they're not going to use their strong immigration laws to help the united states. so there's a very good likelihood that i'll be closing the border next week and that will be just fine with me. arthel: allison bar deer is linbarber is livein west palm be latest. >> reporter: president trump threatened to close the u.s./mexico border in the past but this time is different. this time he gave a deadline, saying it could potentially happen next week. when asked if he would close the border to all trade, president trump told reporters it could mean all trade. >> we have two brand-new caravans coming up, if you can believe it, two big ones and they're coming up and mexico could stop them very easily. they have to stop the illegal immigration. we've run out of room. but mexico is going to

a difference back then versus what we're hearing today from mexico is that mexico was onboard with it, they issued an order as well to temporary restrict vehicular and pedestrian traffic across the border. today many are questioning the legality of a full border closure. there are questions about exactly what it would entail, do things like air travel get included? would american citizens in places like mexico not be allowed to come back into their home country. president trump has not given many details in that regard, neither hases the white house, but border officials say the u.s. immigration system is at a breaking point. president trump says it is an emergency. critics say closing the border will do far more harm than good, democrats say it is bad policy and morally bankrupt. new mexico senator tom udall tweeted, quote, the president is not a dictator, but this to offensive threat shows how out of touch president trump is with our border communities. our border is a bright spot of trade, economic activity and cultural vibrancy. shutting it down would devastate border states like

trades with mexico. it also says it would be, quote, an unmitigated economic debacle, could threaten up to 5 billion american jobs. the impacts could be felt at the super march he get where some of the produce comes directly from mexico. those who rely on being able to travel between both countries say the impacts of the closure could be devastating. >> people are moving money, people are moving the economy. if they close this, it's going to be affecting a lot of companies. >> i don't get to see my mom that often and if they close it, i'm going to be more sad. >> reporter: this is all happening after homeland security secretary kirsten kirsn nielsen asked dhs agencies to go to the border and congress for emergency funding. they say a surge of families trying to get into the u.s. is giving them no choice but to release many of them. agents say they could reach 100,000 arrests in march, the highest monthly total in a decade. in california where arrests at its border are up nearly 700% in the last six month

foreign secretary wrote on twitter, mÉxico doesn't act based on threats and also saying mÉxico is the best neighbor the u.s. could have, rick. >> 700% in los angeles, thank you. democratic presidential candidate across texas today, kicking off his grassroots campaign in his hometown of el paso serial your today hoping to boost support in campaign in growing field of 2020 contenders, live in el paso, claudia. >> good evening, rick, the former texas congressman fired up the crowd of more than a thousand people who gathered here in downtown el paso and for about 45 minutes he touched on the familiar scenes like the need to battle climate change and universal health care and he also called for comprehensive immigration reform. >> if you are really serious about security, we have a golden opportunity with republicans, independents, democrats alike to work on comprehensive immigration reform to rewrite this country's immigration laws in our own image with our own values and in the best traditions of the united states of america. >> and it was a busy day for some of the other declared democr

who just come from mexico. they come from mexico illegally, you turn around and send them home. if they come from the central america, you have to keep them there. and there are a lot of people who say if you change that law so that it didn't matter where they came, from you turned them around and sent them back to mexico, u.s. law, not forcing mexico to do something, might be the most effective way to deal with it. it is clearly a problem. >> it is. when you talk to border patrol officials, they had a news conference where they said in the first three months of the year, they've almost reached the number of people that they have had to apprehend and trying to cross the border that, they reached in the entire 2018. doesn't that suggest there is a crisis contrary to what democrats every said about a so-called manufactured crisis? >> yeah, certainly, sure, there absolutely is one. the question is the best, most effective way to deal with it. one of the questions is in a folks are abusing the asylum laws, maybe yo

in record numbers, and president trump doubles down on his threat to close the border this week if mexico does not step in to curb the influx. hello, i'm arthel neville. welcome to a brand new hour of " america's news headquarters." mike: i'm mike emmanuel in for eric sharon. on fox news sunday counselor to the president kellyanne conway on mr. trump saying he's not kidding around about closing the border. >> it certainly isn't a bluff. you can take the president seriously, and here's why. you're giving those metrics, what he's looking at is that 4,000 migrants apprehended in one day recently. we're on track this month for close to 100,000. we have never seen a surge like this. mike: ellison barber's live near mar-a-lago where the president's been spending the weekend. hi, ellison. >> reporter: yeah. the president is still threatening to shut down the u.s./mexico border, and the administration is moving ahead with plans to cut aid to three countries in central america. administration officials are defending those controversial moves today. they claim there is a crisis at the southern boar

but i'll close the border if mexico doesn't get with it. if mexico doesn't stop it. they come in from guatamala, they come in from el salvador, they come in from honduras, they come in in mexico. we're working hard to stop it. we're building the wall. until the wall is completed, and it's really moving along well, we will have a news conference very shortly over the next couple of weeks at the wall as it's completed and going up, sections of the wall. it's moving along rapidly. still we have a current crisis. we have a you go back 30 years and go back 40 years. but i can't imagine it being any worse than it is right now. >> two children died in december in u.s. custody, migrant children. do you believe given the rising number of make grant childrens your administration is equipped to handle that in a way that children aren't dying? >> president trump: i think that it's been well stated that we have done a fantastic job. one of the children, the father gave the child no water for a long pertained of time, he admitted blame. the other was being brought to the hospital

we had a huge surplus with mexico. then we did nafta. we lost over the last six or seven years with mexico, $100 billion. before nafta, we made 40 50 million. which doesn't sound like too good of a deal. so we have right now the usmca and it's very good if the democrats want to raise their hand. but otherwise we don't go to prenafta. so that was okay with me. a short time later, i traveled to detroit to cancel burdensome regulations that unfairly harmed the motor city which was getting decimated. we renegotiated the u.s. trade agreement to double the american auto exports to korea. we doubled them. they were not happy about it. and to stop the cheap foreign pickup trucks from flooding our market. that's your best market. you knowow why? because we have a chicken tax, we have a tariff, 25%. that's why it's your best market. they can't come in here and take away your business and take away your jobs. they weren't thrilled but that's okay. under my administration, we live by two simple rules. buy american, and hire american.

and frankly i wish mÉxico would stop them at their northern border, i wish mÉxico would stop them, because you know, they have a border, they call their southern border 2,000 miles down from our southern border, i wish mÉxico would stop them, but they have their own difficulties frankly i understand that, we are working along well with them and they are doing a lot of things to help us with asylum and other elements of what we are doing, but mothers who love their daughters give them massive amounts of birth control pills because they know their daughters are going to be raped on the way up to our southern border. think of that. true story. told to me by the border patrol, so true and think about how evil that is. think of how bad it is, those caravans, you look at those caravans and some are phenomenal people but in those caravans you have stone-cold killers, you have the interview done by some innocent person who i think is actually back here now and what is it that you want asylum for, why are you coming to america, murder, she goes what? murder. i mean, what's going on is incredible a

we know from el chapo, the level of corruption in mexico. this has to be dealt with way more aggressively. the poison is made in labs in china. it is being dumped directly into mexico, through the mail, through fedex, u.p.s., dhl, any type of mail service, it's being sent to our country via the internet directly from china. the other thing you got to keep in mind, our laws are so antiquated on our technology in our country. and the way law enforcement is such a disadvantage, they're just taking advantage. in my view, this is chemical warfare from china. they love to see america in dysfunction right now with our border crisis. it's really, really disturbing. just keep in mind, last year, cbd reported they were involved in seizing about 2400 pound of fentanyl. that can kill over 500 million people. that's more than the entire u.s. population. so until we get more aggressive, until we start taking this seriously, we're just gonna continue to see mass amounts in our country. unfortunately people are dying and families are being destroyed. >> dan

and mexico. some lawmakers want to find a bipartisan solution. for instance new jersey congressman says he wants to help dreamers stay in the country, but also supports stronger border security. >> i see nothing wrong with getting even more beds. i see nothing wrong with even more security. i see nothing wrong with holding these folks in mexico so we can process them properly. here is a look at the border by the numbers. custom and border protection said there are more than 12,000 migrants in custody this week. according to the agency that's unprecedented and double what's called a quote, crisis level. arrest of families are up high, up 138% border-wide compared to last year and includes a nearly 1700% increase in the el paso area and almost 700% increase in the san diego area. neil. neil: all right, ray, thank you very much for that update. so the president is saying in response to this, i'm going to close the border. it's beyond an emergency, a crisis, as jeh johnson says, so i'm going to do it. andrew mccarthy, former assistant u.s. attorney,

what people need to know, the chemicals are coming from china and indian companies and going to mexico where they have industrial size labs now. one thing that happened recently, they seized a lap in atlanta, the dea. it was 400 pounds of meth. six out of seven workers were from the cartel. they were illegally in america. there was 2,000 pounds of toxic waste. each pound of america created in america creates five pounds of waste. the meth problem is booming. a lot of cities, the biggest problem is meth. >> dana: i want to ask you about something else.

the same thing mexico will have to do something otherwise i'm closing the border. all disclose the border. with a deficit like we have with mexico and we have for many years this will be a profit for us. jeanine: that is president trump say he may be forced to close the southern border customs border protection commissioner says this is the breaking point and good to have you here. so what we've got, the numbers are unbelievable migrant family apprehensions are up 338 percent and up 1690 percent in el paso and is san diego. the numbers are huge and we are at a breaking point. in an article and interview that she did where she said i don't want to hear anymore what the president should do or should have done many months ago. what do you say to that quick. >> the president can do it himself he needs the help of republicans in congress. he has been trying to secure the border not only from democrats but republicans and those who promise their own constituents they would seal the border now what is happening at the southern border is unsustainable just last month 76000

most of them came through mexico. why aren't we doing that? >> actually they just started in san diego, they are actually doing that and they started with a port of entry and they're starting to expand it in between the ports. and of course, who filed the lawsuit, the ninth circuit right now? there is an ongoing suit to challenge that. that's what they need to do. they need to challenge it because once you stop that and you make them wait new mexico while they wait for the asylum hearing, you're taking away an interval incentive for them. >> tucker: what are port courts? >> this has been done and this is another example. they need to triage down there, through intelligence and experience. the cvp, the officers and agents, they can triage the people to come to the board and claim asylum. ones that appear to be legitimate, bring them in and port courts means we put down on the border of the immigration judges in all the resources we need from a holistic approach to bring the men, go through the hearing and determine whether it's legitimate. if n

yeah, he said mexico would pay for it. clearly they aren't. at least he can say -- first of all, he will build new wall with the money appropriated by congress and the money he will repurpose. even if he's blocked in the national emergency and he builds i think john said 77 miles of new wall, at least he can say look, i have done everything i could. i took it to congress, i vetoed when they disapproved my national emergency declaration. i've done everything i could and lord know as democrat wouldn't. that's the argument he makes. >> shepard: real quickly. looks like there were five that were going to vote against him here. getting to 12 wasn't as john roberts the worst case, but if any of those individuals, do you see one who is making a statement on some other level or is this all about the constitution says the house controls the purse strings and sir, mr. president respectfully you do not? is anyone saying more than that? >> i don't think so. maybe some of the more moderate people like susan collins, lisa murkowski potentially. this in a se

i think that minnesota is in play, and new hampshire and new mexico>> and nevada. jesse: what gives you a sense that those states like min mip or neminnesotaand new mexico. >> polling data. democrat party lying on those, people, i think that president is in a very good position 2020 to open the map, they play with data a lot, like in 2016, when i was one of few people that saw the right data, we're not going to listen to their fake narrative data. jesse: you say, if you have a rally in michigan, you can see how many democrats are there you believe 30 possibly democrat represented in a rally leak that. >> they came to the rally in misch america like el paso -- michigan like in el paso, we know how they voted in the past, what they do. and we had tens of thousands of registeregregistrants were demo. >> are still harvesting new voters first time voters, independent and democrats? >> i am harvesting nearly a million voter data information in key swing states every month. we're 4 times ahead of where we were in 2016. >> now, what is data telling you about socialism? the

/mexico border. sources say the $8.6 billion will include $5 billion from homeland security, plus $3.6 billion from the pentagon's military construction budget. one administration official tells me $3.6 billion is meant to backfill the $3.6 billion that was in the national emergency declaration. in all, the money is said to be enough to finish building all of the 722 miles of border wall president trump wants. according to the source, the administration believes president trump has enough funding currently from among other areas, congress, forfeiture funds and the national emergency to build well over 400 miles of wall or pop-up walls at the southern border. they say with the additional $8 billion plus in the new budget request, the president could build well over 722 miles of wall, but it is an ask that could lead to another government shut shutdown. house speaker nancy pelosi and minority leader chuck schumer said president trump caused widespread chaos during the government shutdown. congress, the

-mexico border this month. 50% of which, harris, our families with children. this could be the highest monthly total in a decade. >> harris: during the last hour i went to our wall and "outnumbered" and i took a picture and put it up on twitter of all of those statistics, regardless of politics, that you need to at least be aware of. thank you for your reporting. this is breaking right now. sources telling fox news that linda mcmahon plans a step down as that of small business administration. not a lot of details coming forth at this time, but we are told she will not be joining the trump reelection campaign. we are expecting to get more info on this and i will bring it to you as soon as we get it. linda mcmahon, exiting the small business administration as that of that. controversy -- more controversy? surrounding the jussie smollett case. chicago mayor rahm emanuel says he wants to recoup costs the city spent on this investigation. not just the $10,000 that they kept that he put up for bonds. the city writing in the letter to the "empire" actor, this -- "in

this latest caravan, there are seven imported cubans living mexico because meo mexico. they are now making their way to aborted. speech of the most compelling thing i heard from kevin from br patrol, when he was saying thatt 40,000 kids to come over the border and be intercepted or encountered this month. that is the largest number ever. and he said that he is afraid something horrible is going to happen to one or more of those children. >> harris: we've lost three already. >> melissa: that tragedy would focus the nation's attention. we don't want to see that happe happen. if nothing else, that possibility and the humanitarian crisis should focus everyone away from the politics of this and on some sort of solution. >> katie: can i say one more thing about the kids, the 40,000 that come here? if you come as an unaccompanied minor you are now up with a sponsor. the last bill that president trump signed with the national emergency allows for amnesty for anybody who says they will be a sponsor. they don't have to be their parents or a family member. there was a whistle-blow

you try to get mexico to get involved. mexico is not doing anything. you send eye e asylum seekers to mexico and they get in. without a barrier if you don't close the border it is not going to stop. >> what we can do and it's controversial but i don't care. i've done it and it worked. ice needs to get out there right now and look for these family groups and these single adults that enter the country illegally. they had due process and demanded to see a judge. we've done that at great taxpayer expense. they've been ordered removed by a federal judge. ice needs to find the family units, detain them and remove them. because if those orders from a judge don't mean anything, there is no integrity in the system. i did this about 3 1/2 years ago and once we removed a large portion of family units showing we have -- there is deterrents and some sort of consequence to strie lateing our laws the number on the border went down. nobody is leaving right now. it's a win/win. there has to be a detriment. we need to get out there and donation wide operation. i've done

new government he'll take dramatic steps if mexico does not stop new caravans heading to the united states. >> if we don't stop them, we are closing the border. will keep it close for a long time. i'm not playing games. >> the president has been threatening to close the border for a while now. they didn't close the border crossing for three hours as members of a caravan seemed poised to cross. the number of people apprehended at the border has strained the system to a written point. >> we've run out of space but we can hold people anymore. >> in the late afternoon conference call, the secretary of homeland security kristen nielsen said closing the border is absolutely on the table and she warned of significant disruptions to cross-border commerce unless mexico does something to avoid a closure. bret? >> bret: john, thanks. kirstjen nielsen also saying that the department is immediately redirecting additional personnel from across the department to assist agents and officers at the border. agents there say they are so overwhelmed by the sheer number of migrant families crossing that

if they can't, they go back to mexico? is that because statutory reason or why? >> trying to do this in reached way. we are expanding that program across the border. we work and notify the mexicans as we do that you have seen statements made by their secretary, the equivalent to secretary pompeo and my equivalent that they are determined to protect the humanitarian rights. that we do it in conjunction with them as we expand the program we are doing it in a very systematic way. but the goal is to expand that across the border. >> you are trying to get to the point where only people can get in for their hearing at the time of their hearing? >> yes. >> excellent. what can we help you to make that happen more rapidly? >> so we have all of the authority we need from the underlying ima statute. what we are looking for is additional requests, if any, that we need to come back to you with. this requires some new things, for example, transportation from the ports to the courts. so when we have the court date, we will go back to the port to pick up the migrant, take he or

so mexico could help more, they should help more. the triangle country, 70% of the people coming here come from three countries. we need those countries to help more. so if the president feels like the only way to control this person is to move people from the port of entry to the ungoverned spaces, i will support him. i hope we don't have to do that. to my democratic friends, let's sit down and change these laws that end tice people to come here illegally -- entice people. maria: i want to keep talking about this and your re-election campaign. stay with us, senator lindsey graham. we'll be right back. l.a. bookers book apartments and vacation homes as easy as hotels. ridin' scooter! l.a. baby! l.a. baby! be a booker you're welcome. at booking.com you're welcome. can we talk? we used to play so beautifully together. now we can barely play anything... even cards with the girls. if you have bent fingers, and can't lay your hand flat, talk to your doctor. it may be dupuytren's contracture. your hand is talking. isn't it time you listene
