“Orderly” and “humane.”
That’s how White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre describes the Biden administration’s handling of illegal immigrants along the U.S.-Mexico border. Others within the Biden administration have denied there’s a crisis at all, insisted the border is secure, and said everything is under “operational control.”
For many in the mainstream media, along with Democrats on Capitol Hill and others on Team Biden, all this is said to be true without any scrutiny or grounding in reality. Yet, the Biden border narrative collapses entirely with just one look at what’s actually happening at the border.
Recently, Townhall’s Julio Rosas traveled to the U.S.-Mexico border to report on the reality of what’s going on and, unsurprisingly, it’s not at all what the Biden administration — including Border Czar Kamala “Do Not Come” Harris — is trying to get the American people to believe.
On the ground in Eagle Pass, Texas, Julio saw first-hand and reported on the thousands of illegal immigrants surging into the United States within a matter of hours, surpassing the capacity of processing facilities that have already been expanded in attempts to handle the ongoing surge of illegal immigrants since Biden’s border policies kicked in.
Julio watched as “large groups of people waded into the Rio Grande long after the sun had risen.” “Boats from different law enforcement agencies were close by, but they were mainly focused on preventing people from drowning, not simply deterring them with their presence. As soon as one group had made it onto the U.S. side of the river, another group would show up on the Mexican side,” Julio reported.
Despite the Biden administration’s claims of having a handle on the surge of illegal immigrants, the mayor of Eagle Pass, Rolando Salinas, said he hadn’t “heard from anybody in the administration” while Julio was on the ground in his city. “We’re here abandoned,” Salinas added.
Out on the choppy waters of the river that divides the U.S. from Mexico, Julio saw first-hand the human cost of Biden’s border crisis. “You should’ve brought a mask, because of the smell,” one member of the Eagle Pass Fire Department told Julio. “You won’t forget it.”
