Rep. Monica De La Cruz (TX-15) Speaks at Press Conference on H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act

Published | Video Starts at 00:47

I'm concerned about the inhumane treatment by the Biden administration and his failed border policies on the immigrants that have been coming through. Between April 16th and April 30th, we had 30,000 illegal immigrants cross through the RGV sector. 30,000. 20,000 of those assigned to Brownsville, Texas. My sources in the Mexico area tell me that between Matamoros and Reynosa, we have 50,000 illegal immigrants waiting to cross our border. (00:47–00:57)

CLAIM

Asserts that 30,000 illegal immigrants crossed the RGV sector in a two-week period.
