Sen. Hagerty, during southern border visit, says US is facing 'a crisis beyond measure' as numbers rise

Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., during a visit to the besieged southern border, is warning that Border Patrol agents are facing a “crisis beyond measure” as the Biden administration moves to roll back Title 42.

"The border agents are so overwhelmed right now that they are spending more time processing than they are doing their job defending the border," he said. "That’s the goal of the cartels, to get the Border Patrol distracted and overwhelmed so they can move the high value cargo -- the fentanyl, the methamphetamine, the ‘high value’ people, meaning those who are on the terror watch list, and things of that nature who would otherwise suffer terrible consequences if they're caught."
