A Republican congressman named Andy Biggs recently spoke before Congress about the dismal state of the border crisis in the country and provided a detailed account of his most recent encounter with some illegal immigrants. Then he continued to criticise Jerry Nadler.
Rep. Andy Biggs began his account by saying, “I want to tell you about my experience at the border again just last week because I travel often, and I grew up in a congressional border district.
We were travelling along the 62-mile-long Tohono Odom reserve, which forms the boundary between Arizona and Mexico, continued Andy Biggs. We had just visited the Bama Washington on Thursday to see the new bridge that had just been installed. This large, open wash is being filled with water for the first time. Human traffickers and drug smugglers utilise it frequently. Over it, a bridge was constructed. It’s fantastic, however it barely stands around six feet tall. Therefore, the bridge washed over during the first significant downpour they experienced, preventing CBP from using it. It was strange.
As a result, we left the Banbury Washington and headed over to the San Miguel gate, where groups from the Tucson area usually arrive. They arrive at the San Miguel gate, which we were once more inspecting. We then continue to travel along the border road. I noticed three little children playing in the road about 250 yards in front of us as we travelled along the border route. Even though we were really out in the middle of nowhere, we were on a reservation, so I assumed that perhaps these were reservation kids.
As we drew nearer, we noticed that everyone was starting to emerge from the high desert vegetation. They had appeared. And because we had to wait for the border patrol, we stopped and spoke with them. We needed to warn them. The signal is absent. To acquire signals so they would call, we had to stand atop the cars. And we discovered that there were 21 people there. There was a Chiapas-born family there. Where are you headed? ‘I’m going to the Carolinas,’ he declares. I intend to work as a roofer. He, his wife, and the couple’s five-month-old child.
A single woman, two adult single women travelling alone, two adult single women travelling with children, and then another alleged family unit aroused doubts with the border patrol official present as well as with myself. Why did they arrive? because they were aware that they would be made public in America. In fact, the border patrol agent told me when I asked that we had so many agents there because they were overworked in this very isolated area. Finally, they arrived. How soon will these people be allowed to enter America and travel to the interior, where they wish to go—Washington State or Austin, Texas?—we asked. Why on earth did you choose to travel to the Tucson sector rather than the El Paso section? We are here because of the cartels. We visited Caborca, a town in Sonora with around 60,000 inhabitants, whose most well-known inhabitant is Miguel Quintaro, a renowned drug lord associated with the Sinaloa cartel. What did you spend? On average, 75,000 pesos each individual. They were hauled over there. They were informed that they would be dumped off south of the border and would have a two-hour desert walk in temperatures above 95 degrees.
A 10-year-old youngster who was wearing Harachi sandals was carried there by coyotes. They travelled for two hours before waiting for another two hours till we arrived.
