Very political and Karen you actually were able to ask the president a question yesterday about this so I want us on Baltic listen. People pledging. To heal these changes. I just say why are they there I mean I've this other first of all that your guess is a very. Minor form of the tear gas itself. It's very safe the ones that were suffering to a certain extent were the people that. We're putting it out there but it's very safe but you really say why is apparent. Running up into an area where they know that your guess is forming and it's going to be formed and they're running up with a child. And in some cases you know then that the parents these are people they go and grabber is they grab a child because they think they're gonna have a certain. They get have a certain status by having HI you know you have certain advantages in terms of our crazy laws. That frankly congress should be changing the interview change allows you wouldn't be having this problem. Karen so much to talk about here a day late and a daily questions but one and he mentioned some allegations of grabber is this true too early talks about congress being blamed three left me very emotional question.

A keeping asylum seekers on the Mexico side of the border there was a lot of talk over the weekend that the administration had agreed to this with the incoming Mexican president. So people who have applied for political asylum would not. Be allowed to stay in the US while they're process plays out which sometimes can take months if not years to go through the court system. The present would not say is a very telling answer he didn't deny that there's a deal in the works but said there was nothing to announce at this point. It wouldn't be surprised Maggie after the new president is inaugurated in Mexico over the weekend. Perhaps this is the first show of cooperation between the two countries next week this is something the president is really pushing hard for with Mexico. Right Karen thanks as always for breaking everything down.
