\u201cBecause we have a president who absolutely doesn\u2019t care that millions and millions of people are coming across our border illegally. He has the power to shut the border down, to stop it. He can reinstate the remain in Mexico policy. He could actually build the wall. There is a lot of things he could be doing and this simply is a complete and total failure by this administration. In the state of Arkansas alone we seized enough fentanyl in the last year to kill every single person in our entire state,\u201d Sanders began.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s nearly 3 million people. Every man, woman and child. Enough fentanyl just in this state alone. It\u2019s an absolute disgrace with this president is doing and it\u2019s another great example while in November he has to go and Donald Trump has to be put back in place so we can secure our border and get our country back,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Watters jumped in and asked: \u201cDo think Joe Biden loves this country?\u201d<\/p>\n
If he did, he certainly wouldn\u2019t be trying to destroy it second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. That\u2019s exactly what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s allowed our economy to drop and our border to completely collapse. Our enemy certainly don\u2019t fear us,\u201d Sanders said.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cOur allies don\u2019t respect us. Literally every single thing he does is at the destruction and demise of the people in this country. I think it is frankly totally disgraceful and disqualifying for him to be president of the United States if he cannot do the simple job of securing our border either at the south or the north.<\/p>\n
WATCH:<\/p>\n
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to defy the White House and federal courts regarding his state\u2019s ongoing efforts to combat illegal immigration after years of dealing with millions of migrants following Biden\u2019s repeal of his predecessor\u2019s highly effective border security policies.<\/p>\n
The GOP governor \u201cannounced the construction of a \u2018forward operating base\u2019 near the southern border to bolster the National Guard\u2019s efforts to secure the border in the face of perceived federal apathy toward the unprecedented surge in illegal crossings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abbott unveiled the establishment of the FOB during a press conference held in Eagle Pass. The base will occupy 80 acres of land near Eagle Pass and have the capacity to accommodate up to 1,800 troops in individual rooms. Additionally, it will be capable of hosting an extra 500 troops in the case of special deployments, the outlet continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cTexas is expanding our border security capabilities by building a new Texas Military Department base camp to increase and improve border security operations in this area,\u201d he announced. \u201cThis will increase the ability for a larger number of Texas Military Department soldiers in Eagle Pass to operate more effectively and efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTexas would not be able to respond to President Biden\u2019s border crisis without the brave men and women of the Texas National Guard, and it is essential to build this base camp for them,\u201d he went on.<\/p>\n
