Tony Gonzales: Border Situation Worse Than Portrayed<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) recently visited El Paso and recorded videos that show the border situation is worse than what is being portrayed. This comes after the expiration of the pandemic-era immigration policy Title 42 at midnight on May 11. Gonzales stated that &#8220;everyone is saying it&#8217;s not that bad,&#8221; but his visit to the Central Processing Center in El Paso revealed a different story.<\/p>\n<h3>Overcrowding and Concerns<\/h3>\n<p>Gonzales reported that the facility, which is meant to house 1,000 people, is currently holding over 6,000 individuals. In one room, the maximum capacity is 90 people, but there were over 400 individuals in it, which is a 450 percent capacity. Another room, intended to hold 120 people, was holding over 700 people. Gonzales also noted that an unaccompanied minor had died while in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services last week.<\/p>\n<h3>Title 42 and Illegal Immigration<\/h3>\n<p>The Title 42 public health provision was invoked in March 2020 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to stop the spread of COVID-19. It <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/georgia-senate-rejects-education-bill-for-illegals\/\" title=\"Georgia Senate Rejects Education Bill for Illegals\">allowed illegal immigrants<\/a> to be quickly turned away at the southern U.S. border, rather than be processed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aoc-mocked-for-giving-biden-a-slap-on-the-wrist-for-opening-detention-camps-for-migrant-kids\/\" title=\"AOC Mocked For Giving Biden A \u2018Slap On The Wrist\u2019 For Opening Detention Camps For Migrant Kids\">immigration detention facilities<\/a> under Title 8 immigration law. However, there have been concerns that ending Title 42 would lead to a significant increase in illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<h3>Call for Action<\/h3>\n<p>Gonzales called on the Biden administration to send more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-biden-unveils-immigration-bill-leftwing-activists-call-for-end-to-filibuster-to-ram-it-through\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Biden Unveils Immigration Bill, Leftwing Activists Call For End To Filibuster To Ram It Through\">immigration judges<\/a> to the southern border as an alternative to releasing immigrants. He explained that &#8220;the president should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-republican-urges-biden-to-surge-immigration-judges-to-border\/\" title=\"Texas GOP urges Biden to increase immigration judges at border.\">surge immigration judges<\/a> to the border, and that person should get their case heard in days, not years.&#8221; Gonzales also voted in favor of the Secure the Border Act (H.R.2), an immigration bill that the House passed after a 219\u2013213 vote mostly along party lines.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The situation at the southern border is a complex issue that requires immediate attention. It is crucial to address the overcrowding and ensure that individuals are processed in a timely and humane manner. The Biden administration must take action to prevent further harm and provide a fair and just process for all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-plan-to-allow-immigration-benefits-for-terror-supporters-raises-a-lot-of-questions\/\" title=\"Biden Plan to Allow Immigration Benefits for Terror Supporters Raises a Lot of Questions\">individuals seeking asylum<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
