Arizona rep. accuses Democrats of being 'complicit' in border crisis: They had two years and 'did nothing'

Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko joined "Fox & Friends First" Friday to discuss the growing crisis at the border after Title 42 ended and sparked a migrant surge.

REP. DEBBIE LESKO: I've been in Congress now for a while, and I've seen all the legislation that has been passed through the Democrat-controlled Congress. And it's purposeful. They want an open border. For what end goal? I do not know. I can only guess. But yesterday on the floor of the House of Representatives, Republicans passed a border security bill. We have a solution. The Democrats complained about it. They said that we should work with them on a comprehensive plan. Well, they had two years. Two years in total control of the House, the Senate, the presidency. They did nothing to secure the border. And these people, even the immigrants, are being hurt by the cartels. Girls are being sold into sex slavery. This is something that the Democrats and Biden are complicit in. They're doing absolutely nothing to help our country be secured. It's awful. 

Migrants could be seen arriving at the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexico border early Thursday, hours before President Biden's administration was scheduled to end Title 42.

Members of the Texas National Guard could be seen patrolling the barbed wire fences of the border barrier in El Paso on Thursday. Maj. Sean Storrud of the Texas National Guard pointed to groups of migrants ranging from a few dozen to well over 200, saying that they were waiting for Title 42 to expire.
