- Biden's huge blunder at the border.

The president inherited a solution

and then went on and created a crisis.

The fallout?

One million migrants are expected

to surge into the US this year alone.

So what will former President Trump say

when he visits the border today?

And what was the reaction of the lawmakers

who recently saw the fiasco firsthand.

Our Capitol Hill CorrespondentAbigail Robertson

brings us that story.

- While the Trump administrationbuilt about 450 miles

of new barriers along the southern border

like this one here in South Texas,

construction stopped whenPresident Biden took office,

leaving most of Trump'sborder wall unfinished.

- The money to finish wallconstruction is already there.

It's just that President Biden decided

he didn't want to do it anymore.

- [Abigail] FloridaCongressman Byron Donalds

recently joined a delegation

at the southern border in Texas.

- Border Patrol is essentially

a medical triage unit right now.

- [Abigail] On the tour, they found out

that only one agent is neededwhere the wall is complete,

compared to unfinished stretchesthat require five or six.

Yet even where thestructure looks finished,

construction stopped withno electricity installed,

leaving the camera andlight systems powerless.

- When you come down here

and you see theinfrastructure for yourself,

you go into the detentionfacilities run by Border Patrol,

and you see what'shappening on the ground,

it just makes sense tofinish wall construction

and bring back some ofthe enforcement measures

that we had in theprevious administration.

- Lawmakers also spoke withagents and local residents,

toured detention facilities,and visited areas

where people are coming across.

On this side of the river here is Mexico

and over here is the United States,

and agents are findingmigrants crossing by rafts

all hours of the day and night.

- We're actually on pace

to add about a milliondifferent illegal aliens

to the already 10 million thatare here in the United States

this year alone.

- [Abigail] Brandon Judd, who'sbeen a Border Patrol agent

for 24 years, says morepeople are coming now

than ever before.

- The ones that are released,they're never going back.

'Cause again, once they getreleased into the United States,

if they don't show up totheir court appearance,

the Biden administration willnot let ICE go after them

if they don't have a criminal record.

The vast majority don'thave criminal records

here in the United States.

- [Abigail] And describesthe current situation

as complete and total chaos.

(child screaming)

- You know, what's disappointing to us

is that the administrationwon't even define this problem,

and if you're not gonnadefine the problem,

you're not gonna try to find solutions.

- [Abigail] Texas CongressmanMichael Cloud led the trip

and pointed out the major differences

between the Trump andBiden border policies.

- What we had under theTrump administration

was an administrationwho looked at a crisis,

put in policies to mitigate the crisis,

and we've seen theabsolute reversal of that.

We've seen an administrationwho's inherited this solution

and has removed thosepolicies to create a crisis.

- [Abigail] He fearsBiden plans to reverse

even more immigrationpolicies like Title 42,

which allows agents to sendmigrants back to Mexico.

- Basically, it would takeone of the few tools we have

in order to return people to Mexico

who are not supposed tobe in the country away

and would de factocreate catch and release.

- [Abigail] Cloud arguesagents desperately need

more resources to fight the cartels.

- Right now, it's difficultwhen you have an administration

who wants the chaos to happen.

And that's what seems to be the case.

- [Abigail] Congresswoman Lauren Boebert

sees it as a humanitarian crisis.

- The cartel are in control

of everyone who crossesthe southern border.

This is organized crime.

This is human smuggling.

- [Abigail] Boebert saysparents are self-separating

from their children toget their kids into the US

and then following behind them.

- They're sending theirdaughters with the Plan B pill.

They're giving them the Plan B pill

because they expect their daughters

to be sexually assaulted on their journey.

- [Abigail] Boebertwants to see wall funding

included in the currentinfrastructure bill.

- That wall allows us to dictate

where illegal traffic take place.

It also allows us tocontrol the flow of drugs

that come into the United States.

Without that infrastructure,

without that barrier there,

the cartels are freeto cross their products

anywhere that they want.

- Representatives MichaelCloud and Lauren Boebert

will be among the congressional delegation

joining former President Donald Trump

and Texas Governor Abbottat the border today.

And Governor Abbott is trying to take

Texas federal coronavirusrelief funds and put those

towards finishing Trump'sborder wall in his state,

but he's facing oppositionfrom Democratic lawmakers.

Pat.

- Abigail, you saw it.

What is your personal reaction?

You saw those people.

How do you describe it yourself?

- It...

When you go to McAllen,Texas, where we were,

there, you very much feel whatis happening at the border.

We were talking with a lotof Border Patrol agents,

a lot of law enforcement, and the ranchers

and people who live in the city.

And I spoke with one rancher

who told me, throughout the years,

he's probably spent half a million dollars

in paying for damagesto his personal property

as a result of peoplecoming across the border.

And everyone we spoke with told us

that it is night and day difference

between what was happeningduring the Trump administration

and what's happening duringthe Biden administration,

that they feel like thefloodgates have opened,

and in the past couple of months,

they feel this huge surge of people.

And this one rancher I spoke with,

the day that we were there,they'd already had two groups

of about a dozen or sopeople that they'd spotted

on their property crossingthrough their land just that day.

And he told me, sinceJanuary, they're averaging

about two to five groupsper day coming across.

They're having their fences cut down.

They're getting calls

from their sheriff at two in the morning

telling them that theirfence has been damaged,

their cattle is loose.

They're waking their families up

and they're going to repair that fence

in the middle of the nightto keep their livestock

on their property allwhile there's people loose

running around their land,hiding from law enforcement.

And it's costing them a great deal.

They're dealing with car theft.

They're dealing with property damage.

And I spoke with these agents that are...

The Texas governor, hestarted Operation Lone Star

a few months ago that'sspecifically going after

the criminal activitycoming across the border,

so the guns being smuggled in,the drugs being smuggled in,

and it's getting great results,

but it's costing Texas $5million a week to do this

and it's taking a lotof their resources away.

So if you live three hours away

and you get into a traffic accident

and you call a policeofficer, you could be waiting

a very long time for help to get to you

because so much of their resources

are going towards mitigatingand trying to help

what's going on at the border.

So Texas is really dealingwith a lot right now.

- Abigail, how are thecartels using these groups

to smuggle refugees?

They're getting drugs, and also,

there's some criminalscoming across, the M-13.

Tell us about that.- Yes.

Well, was something that alot of agents told us about

during some of the briefingsthat we sat through,

that this surge ofpeople is a distraction.

So what the cartels are doing

is they're bringing thesehuge groups of people

and they're letting them loose,

letting them cross the border.

It's creating complete chaoson our side of the border

as these Border Patrolagents are trying to round up

the large groups of people coming through.

And meanwhile, whilethe Border Patrol agents

and law enforcement are distracted,

then the cartels are coming behind

with the stuff that they really don't want

the Border Patrol agents seizing.

That's when they're bringingin the drugs, the guns,

that they're then resellingin the United States.

So they said that's one huge problem

and that's part of the reason

that Texas started Operation Lone Star,

to really not just try and crack down

on the people coming across,but also on the illegal things

that we really don't wantin the United States too.

- Thanks, Abigail.

Thanks for that report.

Folks, can you believe it?

I mean, no wonder people are fed up.

I tell you, we are fed up.

This crime, it's awful.

Inflation, awful.

The economy's out of control, awful.

And now this terriblecrisis at the border.

It passes comprehension

that actually they seem to want this.

And Governor DeSantis in Florida has said,

"I'm gonna send someof my people over there

to help your police police this border."

But a little bit of money

and they'd build the rest of the wall.

And you remember how Trumpused to have to fight

and everybody laughed and the Democrats

wouldn't give him a penny.

They fought him on everything.

Now we have a humanitariancrisis, an economic crisis,

and a crime crisis all unfolding

because we've got a bunch of incompetents

running our country.
