HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS ARE STREAMING INTO AMERICA. I GOT A FIRSTHAND LOOK AT HOW THEY ARE LEAVING THEIR MARK. WATCH. >> IF YOU LOOK DOWN IN THE RIVER, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE TRAIL. THEY HAVE ACTUALLY WORE A TRAIL IN THE RIVER BOTTOM COMING ACROSS. >> YOU SEE IT, MARIA? MARIA: YES. HOW WIDE IS THE RIVER OVER HERE? >> 80 FEET MAYBE. YOU YOU CAN SEE IT'S ONLY -- IT'S SHIN DEEP. MARIA: JOINING ME RIGHT NOW IS JACKSON COUNTY TEXAS SHERIFF, AJ LAUDERBACK. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU THIS MORNING. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE. >> GOOD MORNING, MARIA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MARIA: WE'VE SPOKEN A NUMBER OF TIMES ABOUT THIS CRISIS. WHERE ARE WE NOW? ASSESS THE SITUATION. >> WELL, THE INSTITUTIONAL ROT OF THIS ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES TO GROW. IT'S GROWN AT A RATE OBVIOUSLY THE WONDERFUL MEN AND WOMEN OF THE U.S. BORDER PATROL, TEXAS LAW ENFORCEMENT, OUR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS THAT HAVE BEEN DOWN HERE ARE EXPERIENCING ALL OF THE EFFECTS OF BIDEN ADMINISTRATION POLICIES. AND THEY ALL AFFECT NATIONAL SECURITY AND THEY ALL AFFECT EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY HERE IN THE COUNTRY. OUR CRIME IS UP. OUR MASS CHAOS IS UP. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE EXPONENTIALLY INCREASING. WHEN YOU HAVE A MODEL OF NO ENFORCEMENT, AND THIS ADMINISTRATION IS ACTUALLY PRACTICING PROBABLY THE MOST HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT LACK OF ENFORCEMENT AT THE U.S. BORDER THAN ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. IT IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL THE CHAOS THEY HAVE CREATED FOR AMERICANS. MARIA: YOU'RE SEEING IT FRONT AND CENTER ON THE FRONTLINES. THE U.S. BORDER IS ESSENTIALLY WIDE OPEN. I'VE SEEN IT NOW THREE TIMES. AGENTS HERE NOT GETTING A LOT OF HELP. THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER IS REPORTING THAT ONLY 11 NATIONAL GUARD SOLDIERS FROM OUTSIDE OF TEXAS ARE LEFT IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY, DOWN FROM NEARLY 200. THAT'S JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. SHERIFF, GIVE ME THE IMPACT OF THE FACT THAT THE BORDER AGENTS DON'T HAVE THE SUPPORT. >> WELL, IT'S NATIONAL SECURITY. MARIA, IT'S NATIONAL SECURITY. I THINK AMERICANS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE. WHEN YOU HAVE ZERO ENFORCEMENT ON YOUR BORDER, THEN YOU SUBJECT AMERICANS HERE TO A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE. THIS IS COMPLETELY LOST ON THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. THEY HAVE NO INTENT OF PROTECTING AMERICANS HERE IN THEIR BORDER -- FROM THEIR BORDER POLICIES. MARIA: HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? WHY? WHAT DO YOU THINK THE REASON IS? >> IS IT A MOVE TO A PERMANENT MAJORITY? THESE THINGS THAT FOR PROFESSIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, WE DON'T UNDERSTAND. THESE ARE AREAS THAT A SECURE BORDER IS FUNDAMENTAL TO HAVING A COUNTRY AND THIS IS NOT -- THIS STRATEGIC MODEL THAT THEY HAVE PUT IN PLACE HERE TODAY IS NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THAT. MARIA: WHAT IRONY THAT WE ARE RIGHT NOW WATCHING THESE PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON NEGOTIATE TO SPEND $3.5 TRILLION ON SPENDING, CREATING A WHOLE NEW ECONOMY, AND YET WE'VE GOT $100 MILLION OF BORDER WALL ALREADY PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS GOING TO WASTE. FOX NEWS CATCHING IMAGES OF THE ENORMOUS NUMBER OF PANELS GOING UNUSED AS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TERMINATED ALL BORDER CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AT THIS POINT. TELL ME ABOUT THAT. >> WELL, ANYTHING TO DECREASE SECURITY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES SEEMS TO BE THE OBJECTIVE HERE. BUT LET'S ALSO -- THAT'S THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. LET'S NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE AFGHANISTAN -- THE BILLIONS THERE THAT WERE LEFT THERE. THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS COMMITTED -- WHAT DO YOU REFER TO THAT AS, WHEN YOU LEAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF EQUIPMENT EVERYWHERE, LEAVING IT SITTING OUT HERE IN THE ELEMENTS DAY AFTER DAY. AND NOT GOING TO HAVE NATIONAL SECURITY. MARIA: I LEARNED A LOT DURING THIS TRIP. IT'S BEEN A SHORT TRIP BUT I LEARNED A LOT, NEW INFORMATION ON TOP OF EVERYTHING I HAD LEARNED FROM MY PAST TRIPS AT THE BORDER AND I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH SOME RANCHERS YESTERDAY WHERE THEY'RE GETTING THEIR PROPERTY TRAMPLED ON EVERY DAY. THEY DON'T EVEN LEAVE THEIR HOUSE WITHOUT THEIR PISTOL. THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR GUN ON THEM AT ALL TIMES. WE'RE GOING TO BRING YOU THE VIDEO AND THE STORIES LATER ON IN THE WEEK. GIVE US A SENSE OF HOW THIS IS IMPACTING PEOPLE, WHETHER IT'S PROPERTY OWNERS, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE GROUND IN TERMS OF PEOPLE BEING IMPACTED HERE, IN TEXAS. >> THESE STORIES ARE LEGEND HERE IN TEXAS ALONG THE BORDER AND OTHER AREAS WHERE THE PENETRATIONS ARE EVERY HOUR OR EVERY DAY, EVERY 24 HOUR PERIOD. SO IMAGINE YOURSELF THAT YOU'RE IN YOUR BACKYARD AND YOU SEE FOREIGN NATIONALS ON YOUR PROPERTY. YOU'RE AFRAID TO LET YOUR CHILDREN GO HOME FROM SCHOOL. YOU HAVE TO REARRANGE YOUR SCHEDULE FOR THAT. YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY GO IN AN ARMED STATE. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY VIGILANT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO IS ON YOUR PROPERTY AND WHO ISN'T. SO IMAGINE YOU PUT YOURSELF OUT AS AN AMERICAN HERE AND LOOK OUT IN YOUR BACKYARD IN URBAN AMERICA AND SEE A GROUP OF FOREIGN NATIONALS IN YOUR COUNTRY, IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD. SO THIS IS WHY WE HAVE DOORS. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE GATES AND FENCES AND SO FORTH. THESE ARE SECURITY ISSUES. THEY'RE VERY BASIC HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. BUT YET AT OUR NATIONAL BORDER WITH ANOTHER COUNTRY, THEY'RE NOT. MARIA: HOW HAS THIS CHANGED IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS AS JOE BIDEN WALKED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE AND REVERSED ALL OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION POLICIES? WHAT HAS BEEN THE IMPACT? YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS YOU NOW FOR SEVERAL YEARS. TELL ME HOW YOU'VE SEEN THIS EVOLVE. >> WELL, WE'RE LEADERLESS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. SO FROM JANUARY 20th ON, WHERE WE CAME FROM A VERY STABLE, SECURE BORDER FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, BY JANUARY 21st CHAOS HAS DESCENDED UPON THE UNITED STATES IN THE FORM OF NO ENFORCEMENT POLICIES HERE. IT'S TRAGIC. IT'S -- YOU KNOW, I LACK THE VOCABULARY REALLY TO EXPRESS WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE TO AMERICA HERE AND TO TEXAS. MARIA: IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO JOE BIDEN RIGHT NOW? >> YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT I'D LIKE TO SAY TO OUR PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW. BUT I'M AFRAID THAT THE INSTITUTIONAL ROT OF THIS ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE JUST REPLACED. MARIA: ALL RIGHT. SHERIFF, THANKS VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. MARIA: I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT IT IS CLEAR AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY OTHER WAY TO LOOK AT THIS, THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR MONEY, ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE'S MONEY. THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO SAY THIS. NATIONAL SECURITY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ECONOMIC SIDE OF THIS, ALL OF THAT MONEY AND THOSE ARMAMENTS LEFT IN AFGHANISTAN, ALL OF THAT EQUIPMENT LEFT ON THE GROUND, NOT FINISHING THE BORDER WALL, NOW TALKING ABOUT PUSHING THROUGH THIS $3.5 TRILLION PACKAGE THAT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER IS GOING TO PAY FOR, THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOUR MONEY. UNDERSTAND THAT, BECAUSE
