Border Mayor Pushes Back On "Border Under Control" Narrative

[#TexasPolitics365]
 

The Democratic mayor of Del Rio, Texas says he believes the U.S. southern border is "wide open" for illegal immigrants, despite insistence from the Biden administration claiming the opposite.

During an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Bruno Lozano reacted to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ comment, reiterating that the "border is closed."

Lozano said that he had reached out to the administration for help regarding the influx of migrants, but was told repeatedly that the border is "under control."

Pointing to statistics indicating that there was a 393% increase in border crossings in the 2021 fiscal year, Lozano said he could not understand the administration's assertion.

Del Rio is a border town with a population of 41,000 people and sits 150 miles west of San Antonio.
