Biden admin facing pressure to replace VP Harris in border role

MIKE TOBIN, THANK YOU IN CHICAGO TODAY. >> Dana: TO THE BORDER CRISIS. NEW REPORT REVEALING THE UNITED STATES WILL START TRANSFERRING SOME MIGRANT FAMILIES INTO ICE CUSTODY AS BORDER FACILITIES DEAL WITH OVERCROWDING. SOME OF THEM OPERATING AT NEARLY 600% ABOVE CAPACITY. HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT IS FORMER ACTING ICE DIRECTOR RON VITIELLO. TELL US IN YOUR MIND WHAT HAPPENS, THE MIGRANTS END UP GETTING TRANSFERRED TO ICE CUSTODY. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? >> THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT SITUATION THEY’RE IN. IF THEY ARE YOUNG CHILDREN WITHOUT THEIR FAMILIES THEY WILL HAVE A BRIEF STAY WITH BORDER PATROL AND ON TO HHS CUSTODY TO A SHELTER AND PLACED IN THE UNITED STATES. FAMILIES WITH OLDER CHILDREN CAN BE EXPELLED CURRENTLY UNDER TITLE 42 TO MEXICO. FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN ARE BEING RELEASED IN RECORD NUMBERS. YOU HAVE SEEN THE IMAGES. YOUR AUDIENCE HAS SEEN IMAGES. THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IN 2021 AND WE CAN’T DEVELOP POLICIES TO KEEP THIS SURGE OF HUMANITY FROM COMING TO OUR BORDERS EVERY DAY. THE BORDER PATROL IS OVERWHELMED. YOU HEARD ABOUT CAPACITY NUMBERS. I FEEL BAD FOR MY FORMER COLLEAGUES IN BORDER PATROL. THEY KNOW SOLUTIONS EXIST. WE DON’T HAVE THE POLITICAL WILL IN CONGRESS OR ADMINISTRATION TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THOSE INDIVIDUAL BORDER PATROL AGENTS AND NOW ICE ASSISTANCE LEFT TO PICK UP THE PIECES AND TERRIBLE CONDITIONS. >> Dana: TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ALSO. CHRIS CABRERA IS THE BORDER PATROL UNION VICE PRESIDENT TALK THAN ON FOX NEWS ON SATURDAY WITH THE ISSUE THAT MANY OF THE MIGRANTS COULD BE COVID POSITIVE BUT THEY DON’T HAVE GOOD NUMBERS. LOOK AT THIS. >> NOT EVERYONE WE ENCOUNTER WE TEST. ONLY THOSE EXHIBITING SOME TYPE OF SYMPTOMS. NOT EVERYBODY HAS SYMPTOMS THAT HAS IT AND WE’RE RELEASING PEOPLE OUT THE DOOR. DAY IN AND DAY OUT WITH ACTUAL POSITIVE TESTS FOR COVID AND MORE JUST KEEP POPPING UP. >> Dana: WE HAVE THAT SITUATION AND HERE ARE PICTURES OF MIGRANTS BEING SMUGGLED IN IN CARPET AND PLASTIC BINS. 102 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THERE, RON. >> IT SHOWS YOU THE DISREGARD THAT SMUGGLERS HAVE FOR INDIVIDUALS AS THEY ARE TRANSPORTING THEM. THE CONDITIONS DOWN THERE INSIDE THAT VEHICLE 102 DEGREES. DURING A PANDEMIC FACE-TO-FACE AND THEN CHRIS IS A FRONT-LINE AGENT AND PART OF THE UNION LEADERSHIP AND A FRIEND OF MINE. HE KNOWS WHAT THE SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM IS. HE KNOWS WHAT THE CONTOURS ARE. HE KNOWS THE JOB OF A BORDER PATROL AGENT IS RISKY. ON TOP OF THE THE OTHER RISKS THEY DEAL WITH COVID. PEOPLE IN THE PIPELINE ARE NOT PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING. STASH HOUSES, TRUCKS, OVERPACKED VEHICLES. CHRIS KNOWS THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THE RISKS THE AGENT AND THEIR FAMILIES FACE. >> Dana: BIPARTISAN CALLS FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN TO PUT A NEW BORDER CZAR IN CHARGE AND NOT VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS. TAKE A LOOK AT SENATOR GRAHAM. >> SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING. I DON’T DISLIKE HER BUT SHE IS SUGGESTING WE SHOULD INVEST A LOT OF MONEY IN THE NORTHERN TRIANGLE COUNTRIES BUT NOT CHANGE OUR BORDER POLICIES. CONGRESSMAN CUELLAR’S DISTRICT IS UNDER SIEGE. HOSPITALS ARE GOING BETWEEN -- THERE IS COVID POSITIVES EVERYWHERE. IF WE DON’T GET NEW EYES ON THIS PROBLEM THE WORST IS YET TO COME. >> Dana: YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT? >> THERE IS CLEARLY NO INTEREST AT THE WHITE HOUSE LEVEL INCLUDING WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AND SO LINDSEY GRAHAM AS A FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. CUELLAR IS A BORDER RESIDENT AND REPRESENTED AND EVEN AS A DEMOCRAT I AGREE WITH HIS POLICY. LET’S STOP THIS CHAOS AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND PUT RESOURCES IN PLACE SO IT ISN’T AS BAD AS IT COULD BE. CONGRESS COULD ACT HERE. THEY COULD MOVE TOWARD GETTING THE ADMINISTRATION TO GO BACK TO THE MIGRANT PROTECTION PROTOCOLS. TO REENGAGE WITH THE NORTHERN TRIANGLE ON THE ASYLUM PROTOCOLS. AT THE WHITE HOUSE LEVEL THEY AREN’T READY TO DO THAT YET. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE DONE. THE LEGISLATURE COULD ACT TO FORCE THIS MOVING FORWARD. >> Dana: WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CONDITIONS WITH THE PEOPLE DEALING WITH PLUS BORDER PATROL AGENTS AND WHAT IS HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE HOW MORE -- WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO GET WASHINGTON TO PAY ATTENTION AND DECIDE TO ACT? IT IS REALLY REMARKABLE TO ME
