Over the past several days, shocking media drone footage of illegal immigration caused quite a stir. Thanks to coverage from the press, America has seen images and videos showing thousands of illegal immigrants packed under a bridge in Texas. The hoards of illegal immigrants come as thousands per day are arriving at the southern border. These consistently high numbers have proven to be too much for Border Patrol officials to handle; however, this isn't stopping President Biden from doing nothing at all to get this under control. It goes without saying that Republicans are not pleased about this at all. Therefore, 26 GOP governors have sent a letter to Biden, calling to meet with him over the present immigration crisis.

The letter to Biden from Republican governors

In sending the aforementioned letter to the 46th president, Republican leaders did not mince words. These governors noted their interest in meeting with the president to arrange a solution to what's currently happening at the border. GOP governors furthermore made it a point to note that because of the federal government's inaction, individual states have faced the burden of trying to fix what's going on at the U.S.-Mexico border. Likewise, the letter reminded Biden that as president, his oath of office entails enforcing immigration laws that Congress has passed. At this time, there is no word on whether the president intends to engage in a sit-down with Republican governors. As of late, however, Biden's amped up his aggressive rhetoric against GOP governors, criticizing them more harshly than he has the Taliban.

Getting the border back under control

What's most unfortunate about this situation is that when Biden got into office, he inherited an orderly southern border from former President Trump. Nevertheless, Biden mucked it all up in repealing the border policies of his predecessor. Getting the border back under control means restoring the immigration policies that worked before Biden arrived. This is something the White House remains sadly oblivious to; in fact, since leaked drone footage of the border, the White House is now barring press from overseeing the area. At this time, the border remains dangerously out of control.
