Popular talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw traveled to the US border with Mexico at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, on Friday to “see with his own eyes” the issue that has become the No. 1 political issue in America, according to a number of recent polls.
He was not impressed with what he saw there, according to a video of him apparently reading a prepared statement as well as a number of posts on his X account.
In a statement, the former host of “Dr. Fell said that Texas officials “seized more than 454 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission.”
“the ruler. [Greg] “The federal government violated the compact between the federal government of the United States and the states,” Abbott said, referring to the Texas governor. “the ruler. Abbott says the president [Joe] Biden has refused to enforce these laws and even violated them.
“The result is a humanitarian crisis the likes of which we have never seen before,” he said.

“the ruler. Abbott says President Biden has lured tens of thousands of illegal immigrants away from 28 legal entry points along the Texas border and into the dangerous and deadly waters of the Rio Grande, McGraw said.
McGraw cited Department of Homeland Security statistics that say more than 6 million illegal immigrants entered the United States through the Texas border with Mexico in the three years following Biden's election.
But his comments were not directed at Biden alone.
“What about our Vice President Kamala Harris?” McGraw asked rhetorically. “Did you know that she is the immigration czar in our country?”
“Guess how many times I've been to the border: once,” he concluded.
McGraw's border trip appears to have been part of his promotion for the book “We Have Problems,” which he wrote and which is now available for pre-order, according to his X profile.
He posted photos and videos of himself speaking with law enforcement personnel at the border, often accompanied by the hashtag “#WeveGotIssues.”
