molly: dueling visits to the southern border this week from president biden and former president trump preponderance as immigration dominates the 2024 race. welcome to "fox news live," i'm molly line, happy to be back in d.c. mike: i'm mike emanuel. this comes as family and friends gather to mourn laken riley after she was allegedly murdered on the university of georgia's campus by an illegal immigrant. griff jenkins is live in mission, texas, with the latest. ing hello, griff. >> reporter: hey, good afternoon, mike. 9 and the border encounters are tick up again as we enter march, more than 7,000 in the last 24 hours, perhaps that's why we add those dueling presidential visits. president biden went to brownsville which is part of the rgv sector while 300 miles away former president trump going to eagle pass, part of the del rio sec or tomorrow each man taking a shot at one another, biden calling on trump to join him in supporting that failed senate border bill while trump simply

blamed biden for what he called an invasion is. but look at the numbers. newt went to a heavily-trafficked area. we can show you in the last 24 hours you've got the tucson sector in arizona leading with more than 1800 encounters, san diego, over 1200 while the rgv had just 350, del rio just over 30. but that migrant -- 300. but that the migrant crime continues. in eagle pass just in the last few hours, look at this exclusive video, our fox cameras rolling as two female smugglers were busted smuggling three illegal aliens. and had they gotten away, they would have been those gotaways that the officials talk so much about, keeping them up at night. we had an exclusive interview with border patrol chief jason owens who talked a little bit about that danger. listen here. >> so i know so far the known gotaways, that's the folks that we've been able to detect that we have not been able to get to and apprehend, it's in excess of

120,000 already this fiscal year. as for the unknown gotaways, it's the whole tip of the iceberg theory. it's what we don't know. i'm worried that it could be a substantial amount. >> reporter: and in the wake of the slain uga student, laken riley, obviously part of why americans are so concerned with immigration leading almost every election poll we've seen as of late. it'll be interesting to see if the white house does anything. they're supposedly considering taking some sort of,fingtive action. mike, we'll send it back to you. mike: griff jenkins live in mission, texas, many thanks. molly? molly: family, friends and classmates gathering to remember laken riley. the 22-year-old nursing student's funeral was held yesterday in woodstock, georgia. madison scarpino is live in atlanta with more on that memorial service. madison. >> reporter: molly, it was a really sad day in riley's hometown for her funeral, and it's only about 90 miles away,

woodstock, georgia, from uga's campus where the nursing student was killed while on her morning jog last week. and hundreds of family and friends came to woodstock city church to honor riley at the private service. the church's lead pastor said in a statement, quote, laken was special. she was a gift to anyone who knew her. smart, kind, compassionate and thoughtful, don't even begin to scratch the surface. and riley's death is bringing up a lot of questions and frustrations about how the city of athens and the country handle illegal immigration. >> makes people feel less safe at night, you know? my girlfriend doesn't feel comfortable going on walks with her dogs like she used to now since this murder. so it's pretty tragic. >> reporter: i.c.e. says riley's accused killer, jose ibarra, came to the u.s. illegally in 2022. just a few days ago protesters repeatedly interrupted the athens mayor during a news

conference. the mayor made it clear athens is not a sanctuary city, and this is all while protesters screamed liar, justice for lakin and called for him to resign. as you just heard, former president donald trump was at the border thursday and said he spoke with riley's devastated parents. >> she was beautiful, just so beautiful in so many ways and and brutally assaulted, horrifically beaten, kidnapped and savagely murdered. the monster that charged, charged in the death is an illegal alien migrant who was let into our country and released into our communities by crooked joe biden. he's crooked. >> reporter: now, the accused killer's brother was actually arrested during riley's death investigation for having a fake green card. he's set to be in the federal court on monday on fraud charges. back to you guys. molly: our heart breaks for laken riley's family. thank you, madison, for the reporting. for more on president biden and

former president trump's visits to the border this week, we're joined by democratic congressman from california, a member of the house foreign affairs and intelligence committee, amy bare rah. congressman, thank you so much for giving us some time on this saturday afternoon. we really appreciate it. this young woman, laken riley, who has been -- now been laid to rest by her grieving family and friends has also raised the question of sanctuary cities all across the country and whether or not law enforcement in these areas, if there should be a change. and a lot of critique of this, but the man accused in this murder could have been picked up at some point, possibly could have been deported during one of his prior interactions with law enforcement. your thoughts as this becomes really a central the issue and, sadly are, laken riley right at the center of this. your thoughts. >> thanks for having me on. our hearts go out to laken's parents and the tragic loss of anyone who's been murdered in

this manner. we've got to deal with this. and and, you know, how i'm thinking about it and how i think some of my colleagues are thinking about it, separate legal immigration wells the immigration system from what we're seeing at our borders which does seem to be more of a national security issue is, and i think you'll come up with a different solution for this. i do think we need to do a border bill. i think we need to address that issue, and then we need to address the chronic influx of folks that are showing up on the border. molly: one other thing to highlight because you are a congressman from california, now we've seen an enormous influx shifting there to the san diego area. and that city on the border is really struggling to handle that recent influx. there were some migrant shelters that were open, now the money has run out. there are hundreds and perhaps even more than a thousand people going to bus stations there in the city. your thoughts on this shift and now california has become a little bit more the epicenter that we saw texas being most

recently. >> yeah. right now ground zero is arizona and california because it really has shifted westward. again, i would say, you know, there is a real urgency to address what we're seeing on the southern border. and the reality is it's going to get worse before it gets better. you know, i was in europe last week, and europe is seeing that influx of migrants over the past decade. what you're seeing in the global south with climate change, with instability, with crime, it's a different sort of migrant that is coming up through the border. whereas a decade, two decades ago you'd see folks that were coming here for work, but they'd go back and forth over the border and, you know, it wasn't the same issue that we see today. molly: i think it's interesting we were saying there needs to be two issues, there's the border issue and then migrants across the country and policy issues there. what we're seeing in san diego is that people are coming across the border, there's the border impact presidentially, but then they do dispossessor and go a--

disperse and go across the country and we're seeing cities like boston struggling to find housing for migrants. so your thoughts on what can be done between those two separate points that you're talking about. >> i mean, i think it's compounding an issue, we see e it -- it here in sacramento, my hometown, where we have a tremendous homeless challenge, and this is dropped on top of that. you hear eric adam talk about it in new york, the mayor of chicago talk about it. so, again, i think we've got to come up with a long-term solution. i think, you know, it's not going to be an easy solution. it's going to take democrats and republicans coming together to do this. probably have to keep folks closer to the border. you know, if it's setting up camps where you can process them, treat them as a human being, but again, this problem is not going to get better. it's going to get worse because you see that instability in the global south. molly: there were these dueling visits, the president, the former president down there on the border. biden pointing at former president trump saying you need

to do more to bring congress onboard, but does the president, joe biden, need to do more? can he do more? we've seen executive orders in the past that trump had in place that biden rolled back, could biden be doing more? >> you know, i think president biden is thinking about executive orders. i certainly think when we hear the tate of the union this coming -- the state of the union this coming week he's going to have to address address the border, and perhaps you'll see some announcements there. and i think what president biden is alluding to is there was a bipartisan bill that was negotiated in the senate. i think it's a good bill. it's not the end of this, but it is a good start. it gets needed resources to our border and customs folks down there. and we also have a fentanyl crisis there. we've got to have better scanning and stop fentanyl at the border. molly: all right. congressman berra, a little foreshadowing for us, we appreciate that. thank you for giving us your time on this saturday afternoon. >> great, thank you. be well. mike: from the same state but the other side of the aisle,

member of house foreign affairs and judiciary committees, congressman darrell issa. welcome. >> i was thrilled to go second in this case because my democratic colleague said one thing that was accurate which is democrats have to join the enforcement effort because it's their president who, in fact, deliberately reversed policies in order to welcome in the arsonists that now have burned down the house, speaking metaphorically. the reality is that it was a policy change that a did this, it's a policy change that turns it back around. and that negotiation in the senate, i just want to speak to it because my colleague alluded that it was good but not perfect. no, it was imperfect and flawedded from the beginning. the idea that 1.a 5 million people -- 1.5 million people would be the additional illegals coming in as the so-called cap of 5,000 a day is ridiculous. the fact is the president, since the 1950s, has had the authority to cease bringing in people that are claiming asylum,

mostly falsely, at any time for a national security basis. we have decades worth of backlogs, 7-9 million people right now who will be decades before they could even be add jawed candidated. the list of just 1.5 million goes out 4 years, and they haven't even given dates to people beyond that. so the idea that you need more people to greet and bring people in at the border goes back to the same problem. no, we need border patrol to be able to do their job which is to stop people from coming in. right now they have an open border by policy, they need to close the border by policy. the president has the authority to do so. i look forward to his state of the union. i do not expect him to say is, yes, i'm going to close the border, an authority aye always had, i'm going to reverse the policies of three years that have brought in 7 plus million if people that are not going home anytime if soon, that were not evented that, in fact, are displacing the people standing in line waiting to get into this

country legally. mike: so we saw president biden at the texas border this week. texas governor greg abbott mocked the location saying he picked some sanitized location in brownsville, texas, didn't see the full impact. southern california has really heated up in terms of the migrant crisis. what's the impact on your district, and should the president visit southern california and arizona to get a full picture? >> he should visit the 40,000-square-foot fentanyl locker that just services a portion of the border, my 100 or so miles of the mexican border in my district and realize the amount of killing drugs, drugs that killed over 100,000 people last year, that are coming in because of his open policy. you can't have an open border and then try to protect against drugs. you can't have an open border and try to protect against gangs and criminals coming in. the reality is we can do immigration reform. we can take the 1.3 or 1.4 million legal immigrants every

year, we could raise it to -- 1.5. what we can't do is have millions of people every year come in unvetted without exactly what happened in georgia and around the country which is these people include a large amount of people who are fleeing where they were criminals to be criminals here. it includes the ms-13, it includes all of that. and, by the way, it includes the drugs and the drug smugglers that are killing people. and, by the way, the idea that it's climate change, climate change may be coming, but these people are coming for jobs. they don't even pretend anymore if to be coming for asylum. when i'm inter-- i've interviewed people in chinese, russian, portuguese and spanish through the translator that i hold up, the reality is they all say they're coming here for jobs. they know what cities they're going to, and they have a general idea what kind of jobs they're going to do. i appreciate people coming for a better life, but it should be orderly and legal, and it's not. and that is the president and the president alone who can

change that. no law is going to change a president who doesn't enforce the law. that's what we need to change. that's what you're going to hear us say, you know, monday night which is we need to have border enforcement. we don't have it now, and the president has neutered the border patrol. and that senate bill would only have socially legalized -- essentially legalized and maybe capped at. 1.5 million. we're not prepared to bring in 1.5 million unfiltered people every year, or and my if colleague in sacramento e is a long way from the border, but the fact is the president's policies mean there is no border. and as a result, my district isn't suffering that much more than other districts, the reality is all of america's suffering from it, and they're suffering from it because the president poland to do it, and he planned to do it -- planned to do it because it changes the demographics for elections in this country, i believe wholeheartedly that is his reason. mike: congressman dale issa of the great state of california, thank you so much for your time.

of michigan's 13 congressional a districts, they've been holding individual meetings to pick their e preferred candidate. so far 11 districts' results are in, all of them voting overwhelmingly for trump, securing him 33 delegates. two districts have yet to make a decision, so that means 6 delegates are left for a total of 39. michigan gop chair pete hoekstra has been running the show here, and he tells me he's operating under the assumption that former president trump will secure the presidential nomination. in fact, in an interview with me, he called trump the presumptive candidate. and because of issues like the economy and immigration, he thinks trump's got a good shot of winning this critical swing shot in the general election. swing state in the general election. >> no one ever said it would be with easy. i've chaired president trump's campaign in michigan in 2016. i'm proud to be a part of that team again in 2024. we delivered it once, and i think we can deliver it again.

>> reporter: so here's where the delegate count stands right now after several early states are in. former president trump with 155, former south carolina governor nikki haley with 24. she's, of course, hoping to reverse those fortunes on super tuesday. the magic number to win the gop if nomination is 1,215. we should also point out, molly, there are contests and delegates up for grabs in idaho and washington, d.c. this weekend ahead of super tuesday where there are more than 800 delegates up for grabs on that single day. molly? molly: great. thank you for doing the math for us. very exciting times. we've got a few more days. grady trimble, thank you very much is. mike? mike: three astronauts along with one russian cosmonaut are set to launch to the international space station tonight. we are take you live to the kennedy space center next. ♪ ♪

this unfolding. mike, to you. >> reporter: and as you mentioned, the u.s. air force has dropped badly-immediated food into the gaza strip. air force c-130s dropped some 66 pallets with meals into the gaza strip. they were assisted by the royal jordanian air force. and this follows a tragic incident in which an aid convoy was mobbed. at some point the truck drivers passengerred and drove, israeli forces opened fire saying they were threatened. israel says most of the casualties came from the stampede or the trucks driving over people, palestinians say most of the casualties were caused by idf soldiers firing into the crowd. at least 115 people were killed in the incident, another convoy driving food into the gaza strip was mobbed today underscoring the need for air drops. ceasefire talks are not dead. an israeli delegation has arrived for talks in cairo set

to begin tomorrow. what we know about the talks involve the potential release of 40 israeli hostages, women, wounded and elderly, in exchange for about 400 palestinian prisoners held in israeli jails, also in exchange for six weeks of ceasefire. molly, back to you. molly: mike tobin, important updates, thank you. mike: joining me live from tel aviv is israeli government spokesperson tao heinrich. welcome. >> my pleasure to be joining you. mike: u.s. forces dropping humanitarian aid into gaza is. what is your reaction? >> well, israel, just like our international partners, we want to see as much humanitarian aid arriving in gaza and reaching to the civilians who need it the most. you see, israel has been facilitating the insertion of more than a quarter million tons of humanitarian aid, equipment

and food and wart on which we place no restrictions since the beginning of the war. and and so far we have facilitated these in this kind of an effort which is unpress i i dented -- unprecedented in urban warfare, in the history of modern urban warfare, you know? and this is an enemy zone, just to remind the viewers here, which still holds our stolen people. our hostages have been there for nearly five months. mike: we're told more than 100 people were killed on thursday as israeli forces were delivering humanitarian aid, some trampled, others shot. what about calls for an investigation into that incident? >> well, of course the idf is looking into this incident. but as your reporter just stated correctly, this is a tragedy. and like every other tragedy throughout this war, it should be blamed on hamas. these are the images that you're showing on the screen right now that hamas wants to see, exactly these images. they want the civilians suffering in gaza. they want increased casualties,

civilian casualties in a gaza because they're stealing humanitarian aid from them. and they hope that by producing these kind of images and civilian suffering, israel will succumb to international pressure and take the fire for their own vile actions, and by doing so we hope that we will stop crushing them on the ground. this is not going to happen. our fight is not with the civilians of gaza here, of course. our fight is with hamas. we will dismantle the terrorist organization and make sure that they no longer have a military capability to ever hurt us again. mike: there's also talk of a temporary ceasefire. let's hear from president biden, and i'll get your response. >> we're trying to would recollect out -- work out a deal between israel and hamas, the hostages being returned and an immediate ceasefire in gaza for at least the next six weeks. and to allow the surge of aid

into the entire gaza strip. not just the south, but the entire gaza strip. mike: are you hopeful there will be a deal? >> well, we always have hope. we want our stolen people back, full stop. and we're investing a lot of efforts, military efforts on the ground and diplomatic efforts behind the scenes. we're pursuing these avenues as well because we want to see another deal that will see the release of the remaining hostages, 134 of them. we have a moral duty to them and to their families. we want to see them reuniting. but you see hamas so far has presented terms in the negotiations that have been delusional as prime minister netanyahu referred to them, and secretary blinken, he referred to them as nonstarters. we know that what works against hamas is this combination of very heavy military pressure on the ground, and that worked back in november. this is how we got that framework that we had in place that saw the release of more than 100 hostages.

but we've set very clear red lines for any potential such deal. we said that we will not agree to release thousands of palestinian terrorists in exchange, and we will not agree to withdraw idf forces from the gaza strip entirely because that would mean giving up on a total victory in this war. mike: i want to play for you a clip from defense secretary here in the u.s. lloyd austin, and i'll get you to respond. >> mr. secretary, about how many palestinian women and children have been killed by israel since october 7th? >> it's over 25,000. mike: austin spokesifwoman later clarified, backing off that number, but does it trouble you when he cites numbers presented by gaza's hamas-run health min if city? >> i'm sure everyone knows, the secretary and everyone, you said it yourself that it was somewhat backtracked or clarified later that these are numbers provided by hamas. we do not take any claim, reports, number, narrative,

propaganda by hamas at face value. that's a rule of thumb. these are the same terrorists who invade saided our borders on about on the 7th with their death squads and raped and mutilated and burned entire families alive. of course we should not believe them. mike: tal heinrich, thank you so much for your time and help today. >> thank you. mike: molly? molly: avalanches, whiteout conditions and power outages are all -- that the national weather service is predicting as treacherous winter storms pummel the sierra nevada region. that is next. ♪ ♪ this looks like an actual farm. it looked cute on the app. ( ♪ )
