Fox News host Harris Faulkner got real with viewers last week as the illegal migrant crisis that began under President Joe Biden is worsening throughout the country.
To begin the segment, Faulkner told her co-hosts and guests that New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) had summoned the state’s National Guard to aid in handling and attending to tens of thousands of migrants who have inundated New York City, predominantly, along with other regions of the state.
Republicans and Democrats both voiced complaints about the action.
Nevertheless, “what’s going on in the streets of New York is a microcosm” of what is taking place daily along the U.S.-Mexico border, with the most recent trouble spot being Eagle Pass, Texas, Faulkner said in a video clip of scores of migrants wading across the Rio Grande.
Additionally, she highlighted that Border Patrol agents have been captured on video telling migrants that they are at liberty to go anywhere they want within the country. She also said that Biden appears to have little inclination to enforce border security despite millions of migrants being permitted to enter the country illegally since he took office and reversed former President Trump’s strict enforcement policies on day one.
“I don’t know how much vetting is being done because our Border Patrol agents are outnumbered at the border,” she continued, adding that they are processing migrants as quickly as possible but not deterring them from entering, which is their primary law enforcement function.
“The southern border is reaching levels that we have never seen before,” Faulkner added, “and it has been for the past few days,” with Customs and Border Protection sources reporting more than 11,000 migrant contacts during the previous 24-hour period.
“We don’t know who they are,” she said, adding that the number “marks the highest single-day total in recent memory.”
She then showed a still video photo of a battered and bloodied Border Patrol agent who was “violently beaten in the Rio Grande sector” in recent days after he was attacked by a group of migrants — which means their first ‘official’ act after committing the crime of illegally crossing the border was to commit a criminal act of violence.
“His attacker was a known smuggler who was branded a ‘rat’ by the cartels,” she explained.
WATCH:
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called out Biden and Democrats during an interview Wednesday evening over the ongoing chaotic situation along the U.S. border as illegal immigration and migrant crime begin to become top concerns for a growing majority of Americans ahead of the 2024 election.
In an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Cruz — who is running for reelection in November — accused Biden and his party of being willing to accept “collateral damage” in terms of crimes committed against Americans in order to import “future voters.”
“They support the open borders we have. The 10.6 million immigrants who have crossed under Joe Biden, Democrats, and the media to view them as future Democrat voters,” Cruz said. “If people have to die, if children have to be assaulted and women have to be, they are willing to accept that as collateral damage.
“The odds of a major terrorist attack in America today are greater than they have been at any point since September 11th, 2001. Tomorrow, I am going to be on the border with President Trump. I am going to be on Sean Hannity’s show with the president on the border and highlighting this invasion that is happening,” he continued.
“Every time I am on the border, when I talk to Border Patrol agents [and] they tell me they are concerned about Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists crossing the border, crossing over and trying to commit another mass murder like October 7th,” he added.
WATCH:
Powerful, but true: Cruz says Biden, Dems willing to accept lots of illegal alien criminal acts against Americans – murder, rape, etc. – as "collateral damage" to cultivate future voters.
Biden should be impeached for this alone. #LakenRiley pic.twitter.com/xegUSyXmAK
