Border Chaos

The Biden administration is causing chaos at the border by directing Border Patrol agents to release illegal migrants into the U.S. with minimal processing and little oversight.

The U.S. hit a record on Tuesday, tallying more than 11,000 migrant apprehensions at the border in a single day.
