Jerry Moran: “on Sunday, our Border Patrol reported more than 7,500 migrants illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border--7,500 migrants…”

“on Sunday, our Border Patrol reported more than 7,500 migrants illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border--7,500 migrants crossed the border on Sunday. Then on Monday, there were more than 8,000 arrests along the southern border as a new surge of migrants tried crossing on that day. These numbers still haven't provoked any significant, meaningful response from the Biden administration, even though they are just shy of that single-day record for the year that was recorded in May after the end of title 42. Every day, I think that there is going to be a response, a reply, a significant effort. It isn't necessarily a partisan issue. Democratic Mayor Eric Adams stated last week that New York City is being destroyed, and it will cost $12 billion after an influx of 110,000 migrants from the southern border have landed in the city. And while 110,000 migrants clearly are a massive number for any city to absorb, it is only a tiny fraction--a very tiny fraction--of the 2.76--2.76 million migrants who crossed the border in fiscal year 2022. The unending catastrophic situation on the border has continued for so long that it seems like the Biden administration has grown numb to what, in any circumstance, would be considered a crisis--a crisis for the people who are crossing, a crisis for the people in the United States, a crisis for the people in New York City. Gone are the days when the migrants showing up at our borders were from our neighboring country to the south.…”
