Support for Biden in border region crumbling as crisis benefits illegals over Americans: Texas' Mayra Flores
Fox News
Mayra Flores, a former Republican congresswoman running to reclaim her old Texas seat, said President Biden's support is crumbling in the border regions.
"This is the poorest area in the nation and yet the funding is being used for the humanitarian crisis. And we're not getting that money back for the people of South Texas," Flores said. "If this issue is hurting New York tremendously, the biggest city in the country, and the mayor of New York says it's going to destroy New York, well, what makes them think that small little towns here in South Texas can withstand thousands and thousands of migrants crossing illegally every single day?"

Noting the eye-popping number of migrants coming into the country in a single day, Flores said crime is also rising because of the criminals taking advantage of being able to join the floods of people crossing the border.
