Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss Democrats skipping a hearing at the southern border and says they are ignoring the crisis they created.
said they would attend Wednesday morning's in-person field hearing at the southern border -- even going so far as to book their travel and call a witness -- before pulling out of the hearing earlier this week, a GOP spokesperson told Fox News."Think of the number, of 300 just in fentanyl. That's the equivalent of an airline crashing every single day in this country. And they won't even show up to get the news.
McCarthy said the reason that the hearings take place at the border is so Democrats no longer have an excuse to ignore the crisis. "We've actually heard the truth from the border agents that, no, we do not have operational control. That number is just last month, there are 16 people on the terrorist watch list. That's more than the entire four years under President Trump." "Three years ago is when I broke the news that people on the terrorist watch list were coming across. And the Democrats called me a liar about it. They have ignored this problem. It's too big to ignore anymore.
According to CBP data, border encounters with people on the terrorist watch list grew from 15 in 2021 to 98 in fiscal year 2022.
"Committee Democrats are in regular contact with Department leadership and stakeholders on the ground and will be taking substantive site visits to the border - including as soon as this week."were killed Monday in a car crash that involved a human smuggler evading arrest, authorities said.
