A Texas House GOP delegation spent the past few days in the Rio Grande Valley to put a spotlight on the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, which has seen record-breaking apprehensions resulting in overcrowded immigration facilities only a few months into Joe Biden’s presidency.
At the delegation’s press conference, led by Rep. Jodey Arrington (R), they talked about the overcrowding they had seen while touring the Border Patrol facility in nearby Donna. That particular facility has made headlines for being over 1,000 percent capacity due to the continuing large numbers of unaccompanied minors and family units illegally crossing into the United States on a daily basis.
The Texas delegation provided photos of the facility of their Monday tour to Townhall. The photos show the pods being filled with people, with the floor almost being unable to be seen in some of them.
Up until recently, members of the media have only been able to obtain photos of the overcrowded facilities through members of Congress and their staff, with the Biden administration often citing COVID-19 and privacy for keeping journalists out. Reporters were able to tour the Donna site on Tuesday.

During the press conference on Tuesday, Arrington said the crisis at the border was also a “Constitutional crisis” because Biden was not enforcing federal immigration laws. He also highlighted the dangers illegal immigrants take when at the mercy of the cartels and human smugglers.
We treat corpses with more respect than this, but none of our favorite whiny liberals are here denouncing “kids in cages” or “kids in baggies” or “kids in Biden-bubbles”. Nothing. Utter silence. All they care about is “How quickly can they be released so the price of mowing my yard will go down?” or “Will they be available to vote in 2022?”. All they cared about before was blaming Trump for Obama’s policies.
And Kamala wants nothing to do with it.
