Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to recount the chaos she witnessed during a recent trip to the U.S. Southern border, and explain why she believes the Biden administration isn’t doing nearly enough to fix this humanitarian crisis.
“This is more than a crisis. This is a national security threat. Iran has said the easiest way to come into America is through the southern border. And we’re just saying, come on in. We’ll give you a cell phone and we’ll give you some money along the way. I mean, the problem is, we have to acknowledge what happened. I went to the border. And I didn’t just pull a Kamala, go and come back. I went 400 miles down that border. What I saw was unthinkable. You see, literally, these ranchers wake up in the morning and they go see if anybody died crossing their fence. They go and pick up whatever little kids were left behind. Sheriffs said they go and they turn over illegal immigrants to Border Patrol. Border Patrol documents them and releases them until their court date three or four years from now. And when I talked to Border Patrol, they said, you want to know what we do? We’re glorified babysitters. Five million illegal immigrants have come into this country. We can’t afford one person, not one. And why are they allowing it to happen? I don’t know.”
