Mayor of Uvalde, TX Don McLaughlin weighs in on the deadly human smuggling situation that left two migrants dead and 10 hospitalized near the Texas border.
After two migrants suffocated to death in a suspected human smuggling attempt, Uvalde, TX Mayor Don McLaughlin appeared on "Fox and Friends," Saturday, to issue a dire warning to President Biden.
He asked, "How many lives have to be lost" until administrative action is taken?
DON MCLAUGHLIN: Well, how anybody could come down here and look and use common sense and see that we have a problem down here. And I don't know why the Democrats keep wanting to stick their head in the sand and say, we have a good policy down here, when we don't. You know, when they come to the border, they only come where it's been sanitized.
