Texas border residents fed up as migrant influx worsens: 'We don't know' who's coming in
Immigration,Title 42,Border Crisis
Texas resident Bonnie Elbert, Pastor Luis Cabrera and U.S. congressional candidate Mayra Flores shared their firsthand accounts of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border as the situation continues to worsen with the planned end of Title 42 in May.
New footage released Tuesday showed the mass release of single adult migrants into the country in Brownsville, Texas.
"We don’t even know what people are getting on that bus," Pastor Cabrera said on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday.
"People are coming across this land, and we don’t even know who they are."
Bonnie Elbert, a mother of six and who lives just outside Brownsville, said she sees no Border Patrol presence at all, which she claims has led to increased drug trafficking.
"We see on almost a daily basis guys from across in Mexico, backpacking drugs through our community into our cities," she told host Brian Kilmeade.
