Fox News' Lawrence Jones speaks with Alison Anderson, a Texas landowner and the wife of a Customs and Border Protection agent, about what it has been like to live in the area amid the migrant surge.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Enough food come to them and so
finance a volatile situation.
One person that knows whats
happening more than anyone is
Allison Anderson.
You are a Texas landowner, but
your husband is also a border
patrol agent.
How bad is it
I would say that its beyond
bad
and pretty much out of control.
At this point
I mean I have roughly thirteen thousand
concerns that are sitting right
underneath the port of entry
bridge. Right now
I mean I would love to ask you
know what happens when thirteen thousand
people gind out deportations are
happening and decide to leave
that fenced in area.
Our law enforcement agencies
that are down there? Are they
ready and prepared, and I mean
fully prepared to take all
measures that are necessary to
control thirteen thousand angry people
and keep them from taking their
anger out on our town.
I dont know
you know. I find it very
hypocritical at this moment that
our president went on national
television and as a priority
mandated vaccines, Covid
vaccines specifically for our
border patrol agents
and mind you if they are not
fully vaccinated by sometime
around the end of November. They
face termination.
These are the same border, patrol
agents that are out here tonight
and have been here holding the
line tirelessly, since this
entire crisis has begun.
So the same agents are the ones
facing possible termination if
they are not fully vaccinated
under President Bidens mandate.
However, we know there is thirteen thousand
people roughly under this bridge
and there is confirmed
contagious illnesses,
tuberculosis, hepatitis,
chickenpox, breaking out things
such as AIDS and waiting on
confirmation of leprosy and
measles.
Instead of that as a priority
and controlling the covid that
is spreading like wildfire under
here, the priority was to force
mandates an our border patrol
agents, while they are stuck
dealing with contagious
illnesses that are spreading
right now,
Lawrence, you say they dont
have any support from the
President Kamala Harris who is
the border czar or the border
chief
yeah?
I mean we would like to hear
this actually get called what it
is, which is a crisis.
It is a border crisis,
its a humanitarian crisis,
its a health crisis,
and I mean its a security
crisis right now
so yeah. It would be great to
have some support, and,
unfortunately, our town, our
community, our citizens and our.
