Summary: Last week, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson led the largest congressional delegation ever to the border. It consisted of 64 House Republicans representing 26 states and one U.S. territory. He said that there's no order at the border. It's completely open and what was seen was so alarming, it would break the hearts of every American and infuriate them as well.--Returning to Crosstalk with an update on this vital issue was Mark Krikorian. Mark is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.--How bad is the immigration problem-- According to Mark it's really bad. It terms of numbers, he indicated it's at almost 300,000 illegals entering the U.S. per month. This has occurred because both during the campaign and through almost 3 years of his policies, President Biden basically invited people who have no right to come here to cross the border and turn themselves in, at which point they're let go.--Last week, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted that over 85- of those who show up at the border are let go. Mark believes it's almost certainly over 90-. They're here, they're not going to leave on their own, and Mark feels this administration isn't going to make sure that they do leave. The result is historically unprecedented numbers of individuals crossing the border. They're not fleeing war, prosecution or climate change as the administration tries to say. Instead, they're trekking through up to five different countries to arrive here because they know they can get away with it.
