Dr. Phil blasts Biden for causing migrant humanitarian crisis ‘unlike anything we’ve seen before’ as he visits Texas: Slams Harris for being MIA and asks ‘guess how many times she’s been to the border?’
Dr. Phil slammed President Biden’s immigration policies for fueling a “humanitarian crisis” at the southern border, saying it is “unlike anything we’ve seen before.”
The talk show host, 73, said he visited the border in Texas because he “needed to see for himself” the unfettered illegal immigration flooding the US.
“In just three years, more than six million illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border into Texas,” he said.
“That’s more than the population of 33 different states in this country.”
It comes as tensions rise between Texas officials and the federal government over how to stop the ongoing caravans, after December broke a record for migrants encountered by border patrol agents with a whopping 302,000 incidents.

Dr. Phil – real name Phil McGraw – focused on the federal government’s response to the sharp increase in illegal migration crossings, which sparked a tense legal battle with Texas officials over the use of razor wire to block entry.
The 73-year-old took particular offense to Vice President Kamala Harris’ role as “immigration czar,” arguing that she has gone missing since she took on the divisive issue.
“Guess how many times she’s been to the border? One time,” he said in a segment from Rebel News, which was later shared by Dr. Phil.
“Texas law enforcement seized more than 454 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this mission,” he began in the scathing retrospective of his journey.
“Governor Abbott has said that the federal government has broken the compact between the United States federal government and the states.
Governor Abbott says President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even broken them.
“The result is a humanitarian crisis unlike anything we’ve seen before, with illegal immigration records being broken by wasting taxpayer dollars to rip open Texas’ border security infrastructure.
“Governor Abbott says President Biden has lured tens of thousands of illegal immigrants away from 28 legal entry points along the Texas border and into the dangerous deadly waters of the Rio Grande.”

Texas has continued to fortify its border with razor wire despite last week’s Supreme Court decision to allow federal agents to remove it
The clash between Texas and the federal government emerged this month when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Biden administration and granted an emergency appeal to allow agents to continue cutting the razor wire set up by Texas, ending the decision of a lower court was overturned.
But Texas has continued to fortify the border and has signaled its refusal to comply with the administration’s request to vacate the Shelby Park area.
The two sides are battling in court over the state’s recent seizure of Shelby Park near Eagle Pass, the removal of razor wire built by Texas and the installation of buoys in the Rio Grande.
The standoff fueled bizarre speculation that the situation could spiral into civil war or that Texas would secede from the Union — which the country had joined in 1845.
Last week, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick urged President Biden to de-escalate the situation, while insisting that his state has the right to defend itself and America.
“We have the right to defend our citizens,” Patrick replied, “we have the right to defend this country. And we just do our job.
“These young men and women who serve our National Guard and our DPS, they are the best of the best. Why would he want to send someone down to confront them?’

It came as Republicans in the House of Representatives unveiled two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his failure to secure the border.
Mayorkas has been accused of “deliberate and systematic refusal to comply with the law” as hundreds of migrants continue to flow into the US every day.
Experts warn the crisis is reaching a fever pitch as top national security officials have written a scathing letter to congressional leaders warning that lax laws dramatically increase the chance of a terrorist attack.
The letter, written by ex-FBI and Homeland Security officials, warned that a terror attack on the US is “imminent” after “military-age” foreigners streamed across the porous southern border.
Members were warned of ‘the danger’ posed by the influx of young single men from ‘hostile countries’.
Their “background, intent or allegiance is completely unknown,” the former law enforcement officials say.
