Illegal Migrant Crossings Reach Record Numbers Under Biden Administration | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

There have been 9,000 illegal migrant crossings at the Southern Border daily and the numbers keep climbing. Republicans claim the administration's "open border" and easy work permit policies are attracting migrants at a record pace. Even Democrats are now demanding change. The number of illegals crossing under the Biden Administration is now more than the 12 years of the Obama and Trump administrations combined. According to the Border Patrol's own numbers, over 304,000 encounters took place in August - that shatters the record high last December by nearly 2,000. Republicans say change must take place. Senator John Cornyn says, "They smuggle the people, smuggle the drugs that took the lives of 108,000 Americans last year. So, President Biden is effectively giving permanent status to half a million Venezuelans, and giving them work permits is just going to make things worse." Senator Lindsey Graham says, "What I worry about is some terrorist group or a handful of terrorists penetrating the Southern Border, coming here and killing a bunch of us. When you combine the Afghanistan withdrawal with the Southern Border it's a recipe for disaster."
