Hello, and welcome to another edition of The Firing York Show, the No Chip Chat Podcast

brought to you today by the Bradley Foundation.

We'll talk a little more about that in a bit, but first we want to get right into it.

And what we want to get into is a first-person report from the border, the US-Mexico border,

and I'm going to start out with a bottom line.

Everybody who is paying attention to the news knows the situation on the US border is terrible.

Anyone who actually visits the border discovers it is worse than that.

I visited the border recently. I went with 10 Republican members of Congress who asked me to cover the visit.

So I went down to McCallan, Texas, and then to Mission Texas, very close, right to the US border

and observed some of the most problematic, distressing aspects of the Biden administration's crisis on the border.

And I want to talk about what I saw and perhaps give you a better idea of what's going on.

Start off, here's the most striking thing about the government's response to this unprecedented surge of illegal border crossings.

The most striking thing about it is it is entirely improvised.

It is jury rigged. It is thrown together in a scramble to accommodate thousands of migrants who weren't coming just a few months ago.

Now, the reason it is being improvised is that during his first days in office, President Joe Biden blew up the foundation of the government's handling of migrants.

Just blew it up. He had a series of executive actions. He threw out key policies, and here's the most important thing, with nothing ready to replace them.

He threw out the way things were working, with nothing ready to replace it.

Then he did it with rhetoric that invited migrants to rush to the border. So we saw 172,000 in March, just March alone, including 19,000 on accompanied children.

So the U.S. government is improvising, scrambling to deal with this situation created solely by the President of the United States.

You have the Border Patrol, you have immigration and customs enforcement, you have the Department of Homeland Security, you have the Health and Human Service, they are all desperately trying to put together a new system to deal with the damage that Biden's hurried and irresponsible actions.

Now, under the orders of the administration, they are no longer really trying to prevent people from entering the U.S. illegally.

I didn't see that. I didn't see anybody actually trying to stop people from entering the United States illegally.
