Summary

The country's deadliest human smuggling operation ever recorded was uncovered earlier this week, with more than 50 migrants found dead inside an abandoned 18-wheeler in San Antonio. The tragedy quickly reignited the debate over the border and immigration. Republicans quickly pointed fingers at the White House's policies. Supporters of President Biden suggested the deadly incident was proof their border security approach was working. One Democrat who disagrees with how the Biden Administration is handling the border is Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX). Rep. Cuellar joined host Lisa Brady on the FOX News Rundown earlier this week to give his take on what he believes is going wrong on the southern border and how those problems can be addressed. The Texas Democrat also weighed in on the politics of the issue and how voters are becoming increasingly concerned about the surge of migrants coming into the country. He warned his party and the White House to change course and take action. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversation within our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the entire discussion with Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and get even more of his unique take on the border crisis. Learn more about your ad choices.
