The ongoing crisis at the US-Mexico border has taken center stage as House Republicans vow to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with some members of the GOP blaming him for the chaotic situation. The border crisis, which has been a major challenge for the Biden administration, has attracted scrutiny and criticism from various quarters. In a recent interview on Meet the Press, Secretary Mayorkas finally acknowledged that the situation at the border can indeed be described as a crisis. This shift in language is notable, as previously, Mayorkas referred to it as a challenge.

A new documentary titled 'Border Crisis 24-7' has been released, shedding light on the severity of the situation. The documentary includes behind-the-scenes footage captured by correspondents at different hotspots along the border, primarily in the month of December. This period witnessed an alarming surge of more than 300,000 migrant encounters, making it the worst single month in US history at the southern border.
