“It’s very emotionally draining what we’re seeing here, but the nation needs to see this,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas – After touring “Camp Monument” where 10,000 migrants were processed after crossing the southern border the day before Title 42 expires, Sen. Roger Marshall was “very emotional” having witnessed what he described as a “humanitarian crisis.”
As one bus passed by Thursday evening, the tiny hands of children could be seen waving through the windows at a gaggle of reporters after Marshall spoke. As the night inched closer to 11:59 p.m. ET — when Title 42 expires — 22,000 migrants were waiting to come through Camp Monument at the stroke of midnight. They set campfires and sat in hammocks waiting counting down the minutes.
“The Biden administration has sped up their processing … They are sending 40 or more buses a day full of illegal immigrants to detention facility,” Cruz said. “They pull out a phone, they scan their documents, they take whatever they say – name, age, what country you’re from – and boom, they put them on a bus and send them to the facilities.”AFP via Getty Images
In Brownsville alone, more than 35,000 Venezuelans crossed illegally in less than a month, “not counting the whole rest of the border,” according to the Texas Republican.Ron Sachs – CNP / MEGA With border crossings at the temporary processing site totaling 10,000 in recent days even before Title 42 ends, Cruz said tomorrow – and beyond – could be even more overwhelming for border resources in the quiet southeast Texas town.The Arizona Republic-USA TODAY NETWORK/Sipa USA
