Texas Congressman, Dan Crenshaw, didn’t mense his words during an interview on Fox News, Wednesday. The Republican was reasonably livid that the Secretary for Homeland Security would blatantly claim the US southern borders are ‘secure’ when the world knows otherwise. ‘They’re lying’, Crenshaw snapped.
This appears to be a full-scale effort to maintain the Biden narrative that the border crisis does not exist. Though the administration has enlisted the assistance of the US disaster relief agency, FEMA to gain control of their non-crisis.
Crenshaw was asked to respond to the claim that everything is fine. The Texan, who sees first hand, the problems brewing had plenty to say:
“They’re lying,” Crenshaw said of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s false assertion that the southern border was secure. “We have an unprecedented crisis. Look, in the past month, we’re looking at about 100,000 people crossing per month.”
“We are keeping our borders secure, enforcing our laws, and staying true to our values and principles,” the DHS boss said earlier this week.
“That adds up to $30 million in the drug cartel’s pockets when you calculate how much it costs for one person to go across. The Biden administration is literally funding the Mexican drug cartels,” Crenshaw said. “Do you know what they call this? They call this compassion, they call this a humane border policy. But there is nothing humane or compassionate about funding drug cartels.”
Crenshaw points out that this open-borders mess Biden created is a slap to the face of every immigrant who took the long path to freedom and US citizenship.
“There is nothing compassionate about incentivizing people to throw kids across the border to engage in human smuggling, and there is nothing compassionate about cutting in front of millions of people around the world who are trying to use our system legally, get a Visa here, claim asylum here, because they actually have a valid claim to asylum,” Crenshaw said. “But instead, we’re allowing people of a geographical advantage to take advantage of the system and clog it up. And it’s not moral. It’s not fair to legal immigrants, and it’s certainly not compassionate, and it must stop.”

Crenshaw is just one of the thousands of voices speaking out about the serious injustices he sees happening to his beloved state and country. We’ve seen reports from other officials, locals, business owners, and even the migrant children detained at the detention centers. The situation is bad now but only getting worse as the Biden administration continues to ignore the problem.
