During testimony before the House Wednesday, Border Patrol chief Raúl Ortiz contradicted Biden administration officials by stating that there is a full on crisis on the southern border, urging that it is not secure, and calling for a wall to be built.
Biden officials, including DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, have repeatedly claimed that the border is under control, yet Ortiz confirmed that there is no operational control of the entire southern border.
Rep. Mark Green questioned Ortiz with a display behind him that noted “operational control,” as defined by U.S. law, is “the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics and other contraband.”

Ortiz went on to talk about the numbers flooding the border:

At today’s Homeland Security Committee hearing, Chief Ortiz testified that there is an additional 20% of illegal alien ‘gotaways’ that’s completely unaccounted for. https://t.co/yVwWRF94OQ
Elsewhere during the hearing, Ortiz said it was a mistake to stop building President Trump’s wall. He also defended the agents who were accused and cleared of whipping migrants while on horseback.
The Biden admin has claimed that there are 23,000+ Border Patrol agents working nationwide.

US Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz just testified that he only has 19,000 agents right now. He says he requires 22,000 agents or he will have to continue pulling from other fed agencies.
Not a single Democrat was present at the hearing:

The Defense Department is spending millions on not building a wall:

Twitter/X owner Elon Musk announced Tuesday that he is going to visit the Southern Border later this week after speaking with Republican Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales.
Musk tweeted that he will visit Eagle Pass, where unprecedented numbers of illegal immigrants have crossed into the U.S. in recent days.
Musk noted that Gonzales told him “it is a serious issue,” and that “they are being overwhelmed.”
I spoke with Rep Tony Gonzales tonight – he confirmed that it is a serious issue.

They are being overwhelmed by unprecedented numbers – just hit an all-time high and still growing!
Am going to visit Eagle Pass later this week to see what’s going on for myself.
Musk has been tweeting and retweeting material in recent days concerning the border crisis, and seems genuinely concerned about what is unfolding.

Strange that there is almost no legacy media coverage of this.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 20, 2023
About 2 million people – from every country on Earth – are entering through the US southern border every year.
The number is rising rapidly, yet no preventive action is taken by the current administration. https://t.co/EF7HTS1ktT
What could Musk be planning?
According to reports, up to 11,000 illegals are crossing at Eagle Pass every day now.
The new head of the Border Patrol warned earlier this week that the agency cannot protect Americans because they are being forced to process illegal immigrants:

Video: Border Patrol Head Says Agency Cannot Protect U.S. Because They Are Forced To Process So Many Illegals
“In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it”

Jason Owens, the new head of the Border Patrol has warned that the agency is unable to protect Americans from “hardened criminals” smuggling in weapons, drugs and gang members because it is so overwhelmed with processing thousands of illegal immigrants every day.
Appearing on ABC News, Owens stated that the Border Patrol cannot lawfully send back people illegally trying to enter the country over the Southern border, and has to “enforce the laws that are on the books.”
“In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it,” Owens urged.
He continued, “This isn’t sustainable. This is up-and-down the system, everybody is overwhelmed. Even the government of Mexico, which have been great partners for us, the U.S. Border Patrol, a lot of times our facilities are already over capacity.”

— This Week (@ThisWeekABC) September 24, 2023
House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner blasted the Biden administration Sunday, charging that they are “encouraging” unsustainable surges at the border.
The GOP Rep. said that “the manner in which they have — have provided assistance to migrants, not really communicating that our borders should be closed. Instead, have encouraging an open border policy.”
“You know, this is a national security and an economic security threat. On national security, we’ve seen individuals on the terrorist watch list be apprehended. We certainly see fentanyl and other drugs coming across the border. On economic security, you even have the mayor of New York saying that it’s destroying his city,” Turner added.
He added that “the Biden administration just in the last 10 days took action to give 200,000 Venezuelans temporary protective status, which includes that they cannot be deported and work privileges.”
“If we had the right policies, they wouldn’t be here. By providing them these — the open assistance, what you’re seeing is an encouragement for others to come,” he further asserted.
Watch:
Less than a quarter of American voters approve of Biden’s handling of the border, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Joe Biden claimed Thursday that it is really Republicans that are to blame for undermining the security of the southern border, despite a massive surge in numbers of illegal immigrants coming across under his administration.
Addressing the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Biden also claimed President Trump “spent four years gutting the immigration system.”

He further claimed that he has “developed federal experts” to deal with the surge of illegal immigrants, whatever that means:
