Well folks, I have bad news for you. I can now confirm that the southern border crisis is much worse than you think it is. I spent some time on the banks of the Rio Grande earlier this week, and the craziness unfolding is downright stomach-turning.
I was in Eagle Pass, Texas (a hot spot for illegal border crossings) to get a closer look at the pure lunacy the Biden administration has allowed to go down. Border agents are overwhelmed and don’t even have the critical resources they need. What a complete slap in the face for the men and women who have the harrowing job of protecting our national security daily.
There’s a lot at stake, but one thing is true: We must come together and fix this mess. Democrats need to check their egos at the door and call it what it is—a major problem at a border that needs to be closed.
As usual, the United States will have to take the reins and help these countries create jobs that encourage their citizens to stay put. And to be clear, I’m not talking about sweatshops. I’m suggesting we find god-honest ways to attract profitable businesses to go down there and employ people for the long haul.
In the meantime, let's rally around Republicans who support strong border security, so we can send a message to the Biden administration that they are accountable for their destructive open border.
