Dan Crenshaw posted video of him touring the southern border of the United States between Texas and Mexico, with \u00a0video from a helicopter illustrating the huge gaps in the border wall where illegal immigrants can cross into the United States. Crenshaw explained that migrants have to pay drug smugglers to get across, as the smugglers use the huge number of migrants to distract Border Patrol so they can get their drugs across the border. He also focused on the fact that Texas has to invest huge sums of money to protect its border because the federal government refuses to do all it can to deal with the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Crenshaw began, \u201cRight now, I\u2019m at the CBP station in Edinburg; just got a briefing from Texas Department of Public Safety. And look, here\u2019s going to be the big takeaway from today and everything we\u2019ve put out about what\u2019s going on on the border: the situation is completely unstable: that\u2019s the takeaway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe state of Texas has to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to take up the slack,\u201d he continued. \u201cTexas has to fund Operation Drawbridge; they\u2019ve got to fund an operation to secure Texas, which means, in practical terms, they\u2019ve got to fund camera systems; they\u2019ve got to fund the personnel and the officers to go try to catch drug traffickers that are getting through because CBP is dealing with 100 migrant families at a time. Why? Because the Biden administration basically decided that they don\u2019t really want to enforce the law anymore, and that creates a backend for more and more people to come across. Why? Because they get a bus ticket and they get to go wherever they want even if they have a positive drug test. We\u2019re going to get to the bottom of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">First update on the border: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/42vsqbnUJK\">pic.twitter.com\/42vsqbnUJK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dan Crenshaw (@DanCrenshawTX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanCrenshawTX\/status\/1368244800995160065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) today announced that Operation Drawbridge \u2013 the law enforcement initiative using motion-detection camera system along the Texas-Mexico border \u2013 was responsible for more than 29,300 apprehensions and 88,400 pounds of drugs being seized in 2014,\u201d The Texas Department of Public Safety <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TxDPS\/posts\/operation-drawbridge-helps-detect-interdict-drug-and-human-smuggling-on-texas-me\/879234428801488\/\">noted<\/a> in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Crenshaw took video of areas where the border wall has not been finished, asserting that President Biden refuses to finish it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In the air with Texas DPS on the border.<\/p>\n<p>Below you can see how easy it is to cross.

The Border Patrol cannot control the border so you need to rely on state authorities to do that; that\u2019s why we were just out in the boat on the maritime unit; we were out in the helicopter and the aviation unit. Texas invests a lot of money in this, hundreds of millions of dollars a year to help out, and they\u2019ve got a great working relationship with Border Patrol.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, in these areas you\u2019re seeing a huge spike; just leaving the station just now they\u2019re calling it a crisis,\u201d Crenshaw pointed out. \u201cIt\u2019s unprecedented; that\u2019s a factual description. Over 6,000 migrants apprehended just this month in that one station; that\u2019s just one station along the border in Texas, the Rio Grande city station. And they expect that to possibly double within the next month; that\u2019s just the trend that they\u2019re seeing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He segued to drug smugglers using the migrants to distract Border Patrol so the smugglers can get their drugs across the border: \u201cWhat\u2019s causing this? First of all, it\u2019s important to note that drug smugglers play a huge part of this; they know how to distract CBP. They do it on purpose. You can\u2019t cross the border unless you pay a toll to a drug smuggler; you just can\u2019t do it. They don\u2019t let you; they also monitor migrants on this side of the border as well; they have stash houses all throughout; they have an entire system in place. It\u2019s part of their human smuggling network as well; often children get smuggled as a result of this, of labor smuggling. So there\u2019s lots of different forms of human trafficking. But the point is you\u2019re distracting Border Patrol, and that means that it\u2019s easier for the drug cartels to get their drugs in between.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Visiting the Rio Grande City CBP station.<\/p>\n<p>They are in full crisis mode.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden must rescind the Executive Orders that caused this. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0cchpHmMiT\">pic.twitter.com\/0cchpHmMiT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dan Crenshaw (@DanCrenshawTX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanCrenshawTX\/status\/1368367261715755010?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
