The border situation has reached a “breaking point,” the Homeland Security Department said Wednesday, ahead of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s highly anticipated appearance to testify on Capitol Hill.
Numbers released a day earlier show illegal immigration, as measured by apprehensions at the southwest border, at the highest levels since 2007 — or just as the last wall-building spree began under President George W. Bush.
The new “crisis” is a legal problem, Ms. Nielsen will tell lawmakers.
“The truth is that the politics and policies of open borders have failed the American people,” she said in a statement Wednesday morning. “Activist courts, congressional inaction, and criminals intent on breaking our laws stand in the way of confronting illegal and uncontrolled migration threatening our safety and security. What was a crisis, is now a full-fledged emergency.”
