On August 16th, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) joined Dagen McDowell on Mornings with Maria on Fox Business this morning to slam Democrats on their failed border policies. New border patrol numbers released for July show that almost 200,000 illegal immigrants were encountered at the southern border last month alone – a 325% increase from the average July number under President Trump.
Since President Biden took office, over 4.2 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border – the size of more than 13% of the population of Texas.
Representative August Pfluger: “I’d like the Mayor of New York City to come down to the southern border to see the chaos that is being wreaked on Texas and other border states, on communities just like mine… Come down to our state and see what’s going on here – with the increase in drug trafficking, increase in human trafficking, and the increase in crime rates all as a result of the chaos that President Biden has caused.
“If they were really worried about this situation, they would be securing our southern border.”
