In a pair of statements issued this weekend via email from his “Save America” PAC, 45th President Donald J. Trump weighed in on the Haitian migrant surge in Del Rio, Texas that has exploded under the Biden administration, warning, “This is not just a Border Crisis, this is a Crisis Crisis.”
Fox News’ Bill Melugin posted footage on Twitter over the last few days, showing Haitian migrants walking across a dam in the Rio Grande, traveling to the International Bridge in thousands, and causing major concern for the already ongoing crisis at the southern border, occurring after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office.
Statement(s) by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America:
It is incredible that our National Guard is standing at the empty Capitol, not at our Southern Border, where the number of illegals coming into our Country is at a level that has never been seen before!
The largest number of illegal aliens in the history of our Country are pouring in by the millions. They are totally unchecked and unvetted, can do whatever they want, and go wherever they want. Our Country is rapidly becoming a cesspool of humanity.
Murderers, drug dealers, and criminals of all shapes and sizes are a big part of this massive migration. Tens of thousands of people are coming from Haiti, and many now from countries in Africa, even more so now than South America.
Nothing is done and the corrupt Mainstream Media is giving almost no attention to what will be perhaps the greatest Crisis in the history of our Country. This is not just a Border Crisis, this is a Crisis Crisis. God Bless America! Continued Below
On Wednesday, the numbers under the bridge were more than 4,000, by Sunday that number had spiked to approximately 12,600 migrants according to U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz.
Multiple sources told Fox News that they have been told that there are “tens of thousands” more on their way. A source had told Fox on Thursday that Border Patrol was overwhelmed and that the situation is “out of control,” while Texas lawmakers have expressed horror at the squalid scenes of thousands of migrants huddled under the bridge waiting to be processed into the U.S.
Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano called for the administration to act on the crisis. “This is just something that needs to be brought to light, that we need quick attention from the administration, we need quick attention to this, we need a response in real time,” he said. Videos Below
