Thanks to Biden's border crisis, more Americans now say immigration is the top issue currently facing the United States, up significantly from those who said the same just one month ago.
And it seems Texas law enforcement agrees - albeit, probably for different reasons. While the nation reels from the brutal slaughter of a 22-year-old University of Georgia student allegedly at the hands of a Venezuelan illegal alien, the crisis has gotten so bad that Texas first responders are now asking for more funding for mental health programs for EMTs and police who're rescuing children and fishing dead bodies out of the river on a daily basis. NBC News, to their credit, reports first responders in Eagle Pass are routinely "overwhelmed and increasingly traumatized" by what they're being asked to do at the border every day, including pulling corpses from the Rio Grande and responding to migrant child-related emergencies.
“It’s an unprecedented crisis,” Eagle Pass Fire Chief Manuel Mello told the outlet. “It’s nothing close to what I experienced while I was on the line. It’s a whole different monster.”

El Paso city officials have applied for a grant for more mental health programs for first responders left dealing with the physical and emotional toll of what they're experiencing at the border, saying the number of calls coming in per day have doubled in recent months and that the first ones usually ring before EMTs are even done drinking their coffee in the morning. First responders sometimes spend upwards of three to five hours in the water helping stranded or drowning people who've gotten stuck trying to cross from Mexico into the United States. And with thousands upon thousands of people crossing per day, the situation is unrelenting.
Mello said rescuers often encounter “decomposing bodies, they see children that have drowned. Babies 2-months-old, with their eyes half-open, their mouths full of mud."
"I know that when I signed up, they told me that I would see all of that, but not in the number that these guys are seeing now," he explained.
Biden's border crisis, ladies and gentlemen.
How very compassionate.
