What Senator Roger Marshall describes in his eyewitness account is not surprising, given the magnitude of migrants at the Mexico-U.S. border.
It is inhumane to encourage this mass influx, but that is the result of Biden’s lax immigration policies, and of course major drug trafficking as well as human trafficking are involved.
The open border is also a serious national security risk to Americans, not to mention an economic strain during the current downturn.
Recall the frequent, frivolous, conjured-up impeachment calls by Democrats against Trump. Biden, by contrast, is getting a free pass as he systematically dismantles America domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, he spends American money freely in aid to Ukraine without any accountability.
“Exclusive–Roger Marshall: ‘War Zone’ at U.S.-Mexico Border ‘Worse’ than What I Saw at Poland-Ukraine Border,” by John Binder, Breitbart, May 23, 2022:
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), one of only 11 Senate Republicans who voted against a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine, says the “war zone” at the United States-Mexico border is “much worse” than what he witnessed at the Poland-Ukraine border.
While visiting the U.S.-Mexico border over the last few days, Marshall exclusively told SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily in an interview that the “human tragedy” he has seen from human smuggling to drug trafficking is “the most threatening situation” facing Americans, not the war in Ukraine.
“We’ve already done more than all the rest of the world has done,” Marshall said of his vote against spending another $40 billion in American tax dollars on the war in Ukraine.
“We have 107,000 American troops on the front NATO line … meanwhile, the biggest, the most threatening situation right now from a national security standpoint … is the southern border,” he continued.
“We need to spend $25 billion right now to fix this border. I’m calling on Joe Biden to come down and see for himself what’s really going on,” Marshall said. “It’s a human tragedy. This place turns into a war zone every night.”
In Fiscal Year 2022, which began October 1, 2021, about 5,300 pounds of fentanyl have been seized at the border. Last year alone, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seized 9.6 million counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl. This is more than the number of counterfeit pills seized in 2019 and 2020 combined.
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) official Anne Milgram said last month that there was enough fentanyl trafficked into American communities last year, via the border, “to kill every American” citizen.
“The war is the fentanyl. That’s the real war here,” Marshall said. “Along with just the gang members and the terrorists coming across the border.”
Meanwhile, illegal immigration has hit record-breaking levels under President Joe Biden. Since taking office, the Biden administration has released more than 954,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior — a foreign population larger than five U.S. states and twice the size of Miami, Florida.
Marshall said that compared to the scenes at the Poland-Ukraine border, which he saw first-hand weeks ago, the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border is “much worse.”
“So I just was at the Poland-Ukraine border three weeks ago, and the sea of humanity I’m seeing here [at the U.S.-Mexico border] is much, much worse than what I saw,” Marshall said.
“Just the volume of people, the crisis going on. I’m a physician, I’ve done humanitarian work all across the world,” he continued. “I shouldn’t be emotionally disturbed by what I’m seeing, and what I’ve seen these past four days [at the U.S.-Mexico border] just literally makes me want to vomit. It’s so horrifying.”….

Secure strong borders was a great achievement of President Trump. The tragic reality is that dangerous subversive, Un- American impostor “president “ Joe Biden got into the White House Oval Office and ruined everything and likewise wrecked all the good that was accomplished.
Furthermore President Trump understands the need for a good strong US/Mexican border control, likewise he cares.
In contrast, feeble-minded Joe Biden doesn’t understand this need. Or Biden does understand and just doesn’t care or he understand and is intentionally attempting to harm America. In any case Biden is dangerous.
For porous borders Mexico has enabled Iranian jihad operatives as well as jihadists of other like-minded Islamic terror entities to infiltrate into the United States. Furthermore, illegal immigration from Mexico is dangerous because of crime by gangs of hooligans who enter the US through pours borders with Mexico.
As for example, the gang of thugs called MS-13 who originated in El Salvador the come into America through Mexico. Those gangsters commit crimes as murders, rapes, drug dealing. They are also known, for a price, to smuggle jihadists of Al Qaeda in America.
In addition, to all this, with illegal immigration also comes higher welfare cost and an increased chances of the spread of contagious diseases, such as coronavirus.
Furthermore, with more illegal come more environmental degradation and more urban sprawl. Therefore, there is a great need for a good for a good border control system with a strong tall wall that’s patrolled by armed American military soldiers who may be allowed to use their guns if they deem it necessary. Along with a good filtering system to let in to the United States only good decent hard working people with visas and not and not gangsters and jihadists.
In conclusion all the above may be summed up by the wisdom found in the words of Ronald Reagan when he as, so well, stated “A nation without borders is not a nation.”

Total agreement and would add that while these illegals crossing our borders may not be carrying guns, many are carrying the weapon of DRUGS including the killer FENTANYL from China. These drugs are just as deadly as a bullet, killing our children and young adults daily. That represents an attack on our civilian citizens being allowed by the Biden Administration.

The “No secure border policy” of Joe Biden and his leftist political comrades are totally disaster for many reasons.
First, the recent twenty three Muslim terrorists just captured crossing the Mexican/US border that really be a wakeup call. Before that a jihadist who was captured who had originally come from Saudi Arabia, earlier yet, two Iranian jihad operatives had also been captured.
There are also those jihadists of ISIS al Qaeda and other similar jihadist terrorists may now more easily infiltrate into America and there is drastic rise in drug cartel trafficking .
Second, in opens the door in an “invitation for malicious violent criminal gangs enter America through the US/ Mexican “border.” As the murderers rapists and drug dealing heinous gangster who a call themselves MS- 13. Likewise, now heinous rise in the drug cartel trade because of porous borders.
Third, because the criminals now entering America because of Biden’s porous border policy there is also a terrible increase murderous violence and vast destruction in America cities.
Forth, there is the drastic and deadly increase and of the coronaviruses by migrants South of the US/ Mexican “border.” So much evil is now infesting the USA, “thanks” to Joe Biden.
The coronavirus will rise and so will the death rate have a drastic increase in the USA because of the COVID -19 positive migrants who have entered America though the open door policy of Joe Biden .
In conclusion, Biden will have the blood of many good, decent American citizens across the United States on his wicked vile hands.

An (ex) friend who lives in Carmel California, a rather upscale neighborhood, told me that anybody who wishes to walk across the Rio Grande and enter America should be welcomed and we have the duty to help them in their time of need….He and his deceased boyfriend lived next door to my wife and I years ago in San Fransisco..
So.. I suggested to him that tonight before he goes off to bed that he should leave his Front Door wide open, the Porch Light stays on, a small Table close by with a huge Pitcher of Iced Tea, some Glasses, maybe some Cookies for the kids, a sign pointing to the Bathroom and then he can go upstairs and snuggle with his Husband knowing he has done some good for humanity in their time of need…
His reply… You are a racist fascist ignorant bastard and please do not contact me ever again…
My reply…. But, but, but… I was only trying to help you help those whom you wish to help in their time of need…
No reply…Go figure huh ?.

Michael,
Your ex-friend’s response was the only way that he could deal with his cognitive dissonance.
He has to “Shoot the messenger”…
