Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said the surge of illegal immigration is indeed overwhelming Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials. He and other GOP lawmakers inspected a federal border facility in Donna, Texas earlier this week and reported witnessing \u201cchaos from every corner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This included seeing dozen\u2019s of migrant children confined to tightly-spaced areas. Some reports have claimed federal authorities are using a large play-pen with mats on the floor as bedding alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast month, was the busiest month in history for Border Patrol since they\u2019ve been keeping records,\u201d Jordan stated. \u201cWe saw one pod that was supposed to have 33 kids in this confined space area and they had 52, so that to me is overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Border Patrol in McAllen, Tx told us:<\/p>\n<p>-March was the busiest month for illegal immigration in their history.<\/p>\n<p>-They\u2019re overwhelmed at their facilities.<\/p>\n<p>-They spend 40% of their time processing migrants, instead of patrolling the border!<\/p>\n<p>President Biden doesn\u2019t seem to care.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
