JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Well, and Abbott dropped them off right in front of the Fox bureau. Smart move by Governor Abbott, he knows what he's doing there.

They dress so nicely. Athleisure -- one guy had matching Nike head to toe. The kicks were clean. If you're fleeing a war-torn country seeking asylum -- think you're going to die -- and you show up looking that good, no one's going to buy that.
JEANINE PIRRO (CO-HOST): As soon as they get here, we dress them.
WATTERS: We put those clothes on these people? Come on, Americans don't dress this well.
PIRRO: They don't give it to us.
WATTERS: Look at that guy's shirt. Look at the guy's skinny jeans. You can't show up to America claiming you're fearing for your life dressed that well. It's not going to fly.
