Cornyn says illegal immigration along border 'is a crisis'

President Joe Biden's crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border continues as thousands of immigrants continue to try to cross over illegally after the president announced that he would soften existing immigration policies.

Sen. John Cornyn (R) visited the border this past weekend, and made the assessment that the Biden administration's immigration misstep will usher in “Republican majority both in the House of Representatives and in the United States Senate,” adding that “the signals that Biden Administration is sending by eliminating the migrant protection program, or ‘Remain in Mexico’ program, that was negotiated with the Mexican government, as well as the failure to enforce the Title 42 public health order which basically gave the Border Patrol the ability to keep people out of the country...”

“It is a crisis,” added Cornyn. “When a similar surge happened a few years ago, President Obama himself called it a ‘humanitarian crisis,’ and as I suggested, this is going to get nothing but worse as the spring comes.”

On the same program, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) the only people benefitting from this huge influx of illegal aliens are the Mexican drug cartel, who is “making money off of the people” they are smuggling over.

"The Border Patrol officers told me that the Biden administration and policies, they are enriching, they are empowering the drug cartels in Mexico who make money off of the people that they assist in smuggling into the state of Texas," Abbott said. "The cartels make money off of these migrants that you and your viewers see on TV.”

According to the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), 100,000 illegal aliens were detained at the U.S. southern border just last month.
