In the opening segment of “Outnumbered,” Fox News host Harris Faulkner addressed the escalating illegal migrant crisis, highlighting the lack of interest from the Biden administration in enforcing border security.
Faulkner began by informing her co-hosts and guest that New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) has called upon the state’s National Guard to aid in the processing and care of the numerous migrants who have inundated New York City and other parts of the state. This move comes amidst complaints from both Democrats and Republicans. However, Faulkner emphasized that the situation in New York is merely a small representation of the daily occurrences along the U.S.-Mexico border. She shared a video clip showing scores of migrants crossing the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas, highlighting it as the latest trouble spot.
Furthermore, Faulkner pointed out that Border Patrol agents have been captured on video informing migrants that they are free to go wherever they please within the country. This, she added, is a clear indication that President Joe Biden lacks the intention to enforce border security, despite the millions of migrants who have illegally entered the country since he assumed office.
“I don’t know how much vetting is being done because our Border Patrol agents are literally outnumbered at the border,” she continued. “Southern border is reaching levels that we have never seen before,” Faulkner added, “and it has been for the past few days,” with Customs and Border Protection sources reporting more than 11,000 migrant contacts during the previous 24-hour period.
“We don’t know who they are,” she said, adding that the number “marks the highest single-day total in recent memory.”
Following the incident, she proceeded to display a motionless video image of a bruised and bloodied Border Patrol agent who was subjected to a brutal assault in the Rio Grande sector in the past few days, following an attack by a group of migrants. This indicates that their initial ‘official’ action after unlawfully crossing the border was to engage in a violent criminal act.
“His attacker was a known smuggler who was branded a ‘rat’ by the cartels,” she explained.
