SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Senator John Thune was with a number of Senators who visited the U.S.-Mexican border on Friday.
Thune was alarmed at the state of affairs for undocumented migrants, stating on Facebook:
“What I’m seeing on the border is harrowing: facilities are dangerously overcrowded, border patrol officers are overwhelmed & under-supported, smugglers (often w/ties to drug cartels) are profiting massively, hundreds of scared kids are on their own.
We’re being told by CBP that the Biden border crisis was totally avoidable if this admin had listened to the warnings of our border experts. Once again, they caved to their political left, and the result is a humanitarian and public safety emergency, which is worsening by the day.
Strong border security, enforcing immigration laws, stopping asylum abuse, and cracking down on the traffickers and cartels that prey on migrants are among the steps the administration should take to end the Biden border crisis.”
