CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin let out an audible gasp on the air on Tuesday after a Border Patrol agent revealed the reality of the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border in excruciating detail.
Baldwin first pressed National Border Patrol Council spokesman Chris Cabrera on why there were “delays” for immigrants seeking asylum in the United States.
“Therein lies the problem. We’ve had this situation going on for four years now. I don’t think you can necessarily blame it on one administration or another,” Cabrera said. “It started under one and is continuing under another. It hasn’t been fixed and it needs to be fixed.”
Cabrera said the current U.S. policy of “we’ll leave the light on for you and let you come illegally into the country” is not sustainable.
“If you’ve seen some of the stuff we’ve seen, you’d understand how important it is to have a tough stance to divert people from coming here,” he added.
Cabrera then revealed the horrifying truth about what he has personally witnessed at the border.
“When you see a 12-year-old girl with a Plan B pill, her parents put her on birth control because they know getting violated is part of the journey, that’s a terrible way to live,” the border patrol agent said, causing Baldwin to let out a gasp.
