A heated confrontation unfolds as a brave Congresswoman challenges CNN over the shocking border crisis numbers.
Republican New York Representative Nicole Malliotakis confronts CNN’s Jim Sciutto, highlighting the stark contrast between the Biden and Trump administrations regarding the ongoing border crisis. Malliotakis emphasizes the need for Congress to provide border agents with necessary resources while stressing the importance of asylum applications in other countries before seeking refuge in the U.S.
Malliotakis raised concerns about the significant backlog in asylum claims, suggesting the appointment of more judges to expedite the process. Additionally, she calls for an increase in work visas and family-sponsored visas to address the overwhelming demand.
CNN host Jim Sciutto continued to downplay the crisis, but Malliotakis challenges him by pointing out the undeniable differences in New York City. She highlights the staggering number of six million individuals who have entered the country, with 1.2 million of them unaccounted for. Moreover, she criticizes the mayor’s misinterpretation of the right-to-shelter law, allowing migrants to be housed in hotels and schools, which poses a serious threat to public safety.
Sciutto shifts the blame to governors in southern states who are facilitating the transportation of migrants to northern cities like New York. However, Malliotakis remains steadfast in her position, underscoring the dramatic increase in encounters under the Biden administration.
The report turns to the record-breaking numbers at the southern border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered over 250,000 migrants in December 2022, the highest ever recorded, according to a Department of Homeland Security source. September 2022 also witnessed over 227,000 encounters, surpassing all previous Septembers. In fiscal year 2022, CBP encountered a staggering 2.3 million individuals at the U.S.-Mexico border.
As the border crisis escalates, it becomes evident that Biden’s failed policies are to blame. The numbers don’t lie, and the alarming surge of migrants is a pressing concern for our nation’s security. Congresswoman Malliotakis’ bold stand against CNN’s attempts to downplay the crisis sheds light on the truth. It’s time for Americans to demand effective solutions and border control. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and be part of the movement for change.
