Biden’s border crisis is literally historic and has been for years now, but this is simply a devastating number.”

“For the second time, Biden’s CBP needs to make a bigger chart to visualize this historic number,” Mora added. “More than 250,000 apprehensions—and that doesn’t even include the rising number of got-aways—mean that even more Border Patrol agents are being pulled off the line to process and release illegal aliens into the interior so that the Biden administration doesn’t get stuck with embarrassing photos of overcrowded facilities.”

Abbott wrote “Your visit to our southern border with Mexico today is $20 billion too little and two years too late. Moreover, your visit avoids the sites where mass illegal immigration occurs and sidesteps the thousands of angry Texas property owners whose lives have been destroyed by your border policies.”

More than 60% of all Border Patrol agents’ migrant apprehensions are made by the five Texas-based Border Patrol Sectors.

U.S. Representative Pat Fallon spoke earlier this month filed articles of impeachment Alejandro Mayorkas, DHS Secretary, was fired for failing to enforce federal immigration and border security laws.

“Since day one, Secretary Mayorkas’ policies have undermined law enforcement activities at our southern border,” Fallon stated this in a Fox News Statement “From perjuring himself before Congress about maintaining operational control of the border to the infamous ‘whip-gate’ slander against our border patrol agents, Secretary Mayorkas has proven time and time again that he is unfit to lead the Department of Homeland Security.”
