The Biden administration claims the border ‘is not open.’ No one else joins them in that sentiment; particularly states, residents, leaders and agents being affected on a daily basis.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) wants the answer to a very pointed and imperative question: “Where is the commander in chief when it comes to the border crisis?”

While speaking with Fox News’ Jesse Waters, Senator Graham expressed the Biden administration’s failures at the border. “We went from the lowest crossings when Trump was president to the highest of all time” the Senator explains.

With the pending lapse of Title 42, Senator Graham stated, “I am calling one President Biden tonight to reinstate Title 42 by executive action. That’s one thing to do. Number two, I’ll introduce a bill. You get behind hit President Biden and we’ll get 80 votes in the Senate to make it a statute.”

Graham continues, “[Biden] is choosing to allow Title 42 authority to go away. He is choosing to allow the number of illegal immigrants to come into our country to double. He is choosing that.”

Additionally, Graham stated:

“If you want to look at a humanitarian nightmare, go to our border. I can’t believe the President of the United States has not visited the border. He is the Commander in Chief. You’ve got the Governor of California, a Democrat, who went to the border and said if we repeal Title 42, you’ll destroy California. You have the mayor of New York City, a Democrat, suggesting that if Title 42 is changed, it will overwhelm New York City.”

“El Paso has declared a state of emergency. Fourteen thousand pounds of fentanyl have come across this broken border. The border is not open, it’s been obliterated by the policies of Biden. He has surrendered the border. Where is the Commander in Chief when it comes to this crisis?”

“Title 42 authority allows the United States to deport people [in the country illegally] based on a COVID problem without a whole lot of delay. It is a tool that actually works. There are thousands of people waiting for it to expire. We are going to double the number of illegal immigrants literally in about 48 hours because people are waiting for Title 42 to go away. The President of the United States could by the stroke of a pen keep the policy in place or he could ask Congress to pass a law to reinstate Title 42. He is choosing not to do this. He is choosing to allow illegal immigration to double in 48 hours.”
