In a fiery appearance on Laura Ingraham’s show, Congressman Ronny Jackson (R-TX) didn’t hold back as he lambasted President Biden’s handling of the southern border crisis. With a touch of Texas flair, Jackson described the situation as the worst he’s ever seen, painting a vivid and concerning picture of a border that he claimed is “wide open.”
Highlighting the shocking numbers, Jackson reported that thousands of people are crossing the border every day, with 223,000 crossings in August alone and a staggering 11,000 crossings on the previous day. With a concerned tone, he labeled the situation as a national security crisis.
But it wasn’t just the sheer number of border crossers that troubled Jackson; he also highlighted the potential public health disaster that could arise. He expressed his worry about the rising number of people with tuberculosis making their way across the border. Furthermore, based on information he claimed to have received from Border Patrol agents, he raised concerns about the overwhelming number of unaccompanied adult males, stating that those with tattoos on their face and neck are likely criminals who have spent time in prison in their home countries.
JUST IN: Rep. Ronny Jackson accuses Biden of creating the border crisis:
"This is a national security crisis. This is a Biden-engineered disaster. This is purposeful. You couldn't do this unless you really wanted this to happen."

Hand in hand with the health risks, Jackson also acknowledged the strain on public services, with local hospitals overwhelmed by the influx of migrants. Adding a touch of outrage to his critique, he emphasized that American citizens are being denied access to their own hospitals because they are being swamped by migrants.
Shifting the conversation to U.S. financial priorities, Jackson pointed out the seemingly misplaced focus on sending money overseas to Ukraine without a clear strategy or understanding of what victory in that situation even looks like.
Jackson concluded his impassioned interview with a bold declaration: a change in leadership is necessary to fix this dire situation. He firmly stated that it will not be resolved until a new commander in chief and head of state take the reins.
