ICYMI: Comer Joins Fox News Calling for Hearing on Biden’s Border Crisis and Child Container Facilities

WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.) joined “America Reports” on Fox News today to discuss the current crisis occurring at the southern border stemming from President Biden’s open borders policies. Ranking Member Comer noted container facilities holding unaccompanied children are nearly overflowing and President Biden plans to open even more facilities to accommodate the surge of illegal immigration. He concluded the interview by emphasizing the need for an immediate hearing to examine the Biden Administration’s plan to mitigate this crisis and to conduct oversight of the welfare of migrant children being held in container facilities.

Key excerpts from the interview:
“There is no question there is a crisis at the border … Joe Biden has signaled to the world that he is not going to take border security seriously. As a result, we are seeing more caravans, more people cross the border illegally, more children crossing the border … In just 47 days, Joe Biden has done more to open the border for illegal immigrants than he has to reopen our schools for America’s children in public schools. We are going to have more human trafficking, more drugs cross the border illegally … We have a terrible crisis at the border.”
