As the national situation surrounding the illegal immigration problem, which started under President Joe Biden, deteriorates, Fox News personality Harris Faulkner opened up to viewers last week.
At the start of the show, Faulkner informed her guests and co-hosts that Governor Kathy Hochul (D) of New York had called in the National Guard to assist in managing and caring for the tens of thousands of migrants that had flooded New York City and other parts of the state. Republicans and Democrats both complained, prompting the decision.
Still, Faulkner claimed in a video showing countless migrants wading across the Rio Grande that “what’s going on in the streets of New York is a microcosm” of what is happening every day along the U.S.-Mexico border, with Eagle Pass, Texas, being the most recent hotspot.
She also brought up the fact that Border Patrol officials have been seen on camera assuring migrants that they are free to travel wherever in the US. She said that even though Biden overturned previous President Trump’s stringent enforcement procedures on day one of his administration and allowed millions of migrants to enter the country illegally, he seems to have little desire to enforce border security.
“I don’t know how much vetting is being done because our Border Patrol agents are literally outnumbered at the border,” she said, adding that although their main job is to process migrants as swiftly as possible, they are not preventing them from entering.
According to sources from Customs and Border Protection, there were over 11,000 migrant interactions in the last 24 hours, indicating that the “Southern border is reaching levels that we have never seen before,” Faulkner continued.
She noted, “We don’t know who they are,” but the amount “marks the highest single-day total in recent memory.”
She proceeded to display a still image from a video of a bloodied and bruised Border Patrol agent who had been “violently beaten in the Rio Grande sector” in the days following his attack by a group of migrants. This indicates that the migrants’ first “official” act following their illegal border crossing was to commit a violent crime.
She clarified, “His attacker was a known smuggler who was branded a ‘rat’ by the cartels.”
WATCH:
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas criticized Biden and Democrats in an interview on Wednesday night over the current chaotic state of affairs at the U.S. border, noting that, in the run-up to the 2024 election, an increasing number of Americans are beginning to prioritize concerns about illegal immigration and migrant crime.
Cruz, who is seeking reelection in November, charged that Biden and his party are prepared to endure “collateral damage” in the form of crimes against Americans in order to bring in “future voters” during an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters.
“They support the open borders we have. The 10.6 million immigrants who have crossed under Joe Biden, Democrats, and the media to view them as future Democrat voters,” Cruz said. “If people have to die, if children have to be assaulted and women have to be, they are willing to accept that as collateral damage.
“The odds of a major terrorist attack in America today are greater than they have been at any point since September 11th, 2001. Tomorrow, I am going to be on the border with President Trump. I am going to be on Sean Hannity’s show with the president on the border and highlighting this invasion that is happening,” he continued.
“Every time I am on the border, when I talk to Border Patrol agents [and] they tell me they are concerned about Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists crossing the border, crossing over and trying to commit another mass murder like October 7th,” he added.

Powerful, but true: Cruz says Biden, Dems willing to accept lots of illegal alien criminal acts against Americans – murder, rape, etc. – as "collateral damage" to cultivate future voters.
Biden should be impeached for this alone. #LakenRiley pic.twitter.com/xegUSyXmAK
