00:00Your visit to our southern border with Mexico today is $20 billion too little and two years too late.
00:05That's what Texas Governor Greg Abbott wrote in a letter that he hand-delivered to President Joe Biden.
00:09The president, who was in Texas visiting the US-Mexico border for the first time since taking office, also met with Border Patrol agents.
00:19When asked what he had learned that day, Biden said,
00:22They need a lot of resources. We're going to get it for them.
00:25There has been an influx of migrants at the southern border recently,
00:28with a record 2.2 million migrants being apprehended at the border between October 2021 and September 2022.
00:35Biden has since expanded regulations that will rapidly expel Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian, and Nicaraguan migrants trying to enter the US illegally,
00:44but simultaneously set up a process that will allow 30,000 migrants from these countries to enter the US via air each month.
00:51This new process is orderly, it's safe, and it's humane.
00:54Biden said.
00:56He also delivered a warning to migrants from these countries who don't have a US sponsor.
01:01Do not just show up at the border.
