I have just recently returned from a visit to our southern border and itâs worse than I thought.
While touring several sites and meeting with border patrol agents on the ground, they confirmed what I have been saying all along: the Biden border crisis is a humanitarian, national security, and public health crisis.
I arrived at the border last Thursday night and received a briefing from agents at the McAllen Border Patrol Station. Agents confirmed that in March, 172,000 migrants were apprehended - a 71% increase over one year ago and the highest total in 15 years. Agents also saw another 38,000 migrants crossing that they were unable to apprehend, bringing the total to 210,000 individuals. This is the same population as the city of Fayetteville crossing our border in one month â a staggering figure.
