“it is common knowledge that America's southern border has been in crisis since President Biden took office 3 years ago. Since then, 6.7 million--6.7 million--migrants have shown up at the border, only to be released by the Biden administration into the interior of the United States. That 6.7 million people is higher than the Obama and the Trump administration combined, and that was over a period of 12 years. In just 3 years, we have experienced more illegal immigration than we did in the preceding 12 years. Well, despite the eye-popping statistics, leaders in the Biden administration have repeatedly tried to mislead the American people into believing everything at the border is just hunky-dory. In other words, they are saying: Don't believe your lying eyes. President Biden has consistently attempted to downplay concerns about the border crisis. Of course, my State, the State of Texas, which has 1,200 miles of common border with Mexico, we are a ground-zero. But the President has even refused to visit the border until last January, nearly 2 years into his presidency, and then he did sort of a drive-by in El Paso after much of the evidence related to the crisis had been cleaned up. At one point, the President defended his decision not to go to the border by saying: Well, there are more important things to do. What an abdication of responsibility.…”
