0:00.0 | Good evening. We begin tonight. Keep it up on us. The Biden administration is sending |
0:04.5 | 1500 more active duty troops to the border with Mexico. The move is aimed at freeing up |
0:09.6 | resources so customs and border patrol officers can cope with the expected surge of migrants |
0:14.2 | when a Trump error policy expires next week. The policy was called Title 42 and it allowed |
0:19.5 | authorities to quickly expel certain migrants using the COVID pandemic as a reason. The new |
0:24.8 | troops will join 2500 others who were sent to the border last fall because clearly there |
0:29.8 | is a problem. Whether it isn't, not now and not for decades, is a comprehensive solution, |
0:35.1 | at least not one that enough people in both parties can get behind. The administration |

1:21.2 | this in a bipartisan way. He's going to continue to do that. In the meantime, he's put forth |
1:27.7 | some, he has tools that he's used to make sure that we do this. We actually deal with |
1:33.6 | the immigration system in a humane way. In a way that is, that actually deals with what |
1:41.3 | we're seeing at the border. And that's why you've seen the PURLLE program be so successful. |
1:46.4 | It has, it has, when it comes to illegal migration, you've seen it come down by more than 90%. |
1:54.5 | And that's because of the actions that this president has taken. |
