US-Mexico border crossings reach an all-time high

US-Mexico border crossings reached a record monthly high in December 2023. More than 220,000 migrants were found along the border by authorities, making it the highest monthly recorded total since 2000. Democratic Congressman Don Davis visited Eagle Pass, Texas on Friday to witness the issues the southern border is facing firsthand. It comes as the talks between lawmakers and the White House continue over the supplemental spending agreement where President Biden has requested $USD14 billion for additional border funding. Congressman Don Davis said they must act fast as the ongoing crisis is not sustainable.
