WATCH: Subcommittee Chairman Bishop Opens Northern Border Crisis Hearing
While the historic crisis at our Southwest border warrants primary focus, the disastrous consequences of the Biden-Mayorkas administration's open borders policies have spread to our once-secure northern border.
While portions of the US-Canada border are rugged and extremely difficult to cross, many sectors feature woodlands and fields, and even residential neighborhoods that offer easy access for illegal migrant crossings.
The mix of bad policy, understaffed border patrol offices, and relative ease of crossing is leading to a massive influx of illegal aliens coming across the northern border. It’s overwhelming Customs and Border Protection, local law enforcement, and local communities.
