In a recent town hall discussion, the focus turned to the ongoing migrant crisis at the southern border. Former Congressman Will Hurd, hailing from San Antonio, shed light on this pressing issue. Drawing attention to a statement made by Nikki Haley, whom he supports, Hurd emphasized that the controversy surrounding busing migrants to sanctuary cities has brought much-needed attention to a problem that has plagued Texas for years. He applauded Haley for recognizing the need to secure the border, increase deportations, and streamline legal immigration to meet the demands of the workforce and industry.
Hurd, who has engaged in discussions with Haley, expressed confidence in her ability to address and resolve the border issues with specificity and in real-time. He underscored the importance of understanding the nuances surrounding asylum and the recent influx of illegal immigrants, with a record-breaking 302,000 people entering the country unlawfully in a single month. Hurd also highlighted the significance of working with allies in Mexico, Central, and South America, given that the majority of immigration is originating from these regions.
