The immigration crisis is exploding on the U.S. southern border. Border agents in Texas say a record 14,000 illegal immigrants showed up at Eagle Pass on just one day this week, a new record and a growing problem for a city of just 30,000 residents. Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales, who represents Eagle Pass, tweeted, "President Biden has abandoned border communities like mine." Republican Senators are tying any aid to Ukraine to the border crisis.
