An exclusive video released by the Republican Study Committee ahead of former President Donald Trump’s visit to the nation’s southern border appears to reveal numerous illegal immigrants walking into America without being stopped.
“Ahead of our visit with President Trump #RSC obtained never before seen footage of the Border Crisis. It is shocking,” tweeted the RSC, a conservative caucus in the House of Representatives.
The post added, “This is what an open border looks like.”

Tennessee Republican Rep. Chuck Fleischmann tweeted, “It’s taken less than 6 months for Biden/Harris to destroy the security at our southern border. Under President Trump & @HouseGOP, the border was the most secure it has been in recent history.”
He added, “Open borders harm all legal immigrants & Americans. We must re-secure the border.”
