Watch the video that Kate Monroe posted to X:

I secured the border myself.

I’m the only person in America who came to secure the border.

No one else in congress.

No president.

No border patrol.

Nobody in our country would do this.

So I had to do it myself.

I put my life on the line to serve our country once… pic.twitter.com/jZYooeEY4r

Fox News shares more on the story:

A California Congressional candidate traveled to an infamous weak point on the U.S. border with Mexico and decided to make some repairs to the barrier with razor wire.

“It prevents a grave national security risk,” Kate Monroe, a Republican candidate for California’s 49th Congressional District, told Fox News Digital after her visit to one of the most infamous gaps in the U.S. border with Mexico.

The gap, known as the “San Judas Break” for its location just miles from the Mexican city of San Judas, has recently become one of the hot spots for migrants seeking to cross the border illegally.

San Judas Break is located in Southern California and about 80 miles east of San Diego, a remote area of the California desert where the border is typically protected by tall steel fencing. But hidden down a secluded path is a small gap in the barrier where the fencing meets a rock formation, allowing migrants a path to slip into the U.S. with little effort.

The seemingly obscure opening in the Southern border has been the subject of national media attention thanks to an influx of migrants who have used it to enter the country in recent months, with one February CBS report detailing just how many people have been seen taking advantage of the 4-foot gap in the border barrier.

“This hole is big enough that I have seen 150 people walk through it in less than a minute,” a local aid worker, Sam Schultz, told the outlet.

It baffles me that it took this long for such a huge gap to be closed off.

And it had to be done by a citizen! Not a worker.

Our border needs to be secured.

The New York Post shares more on the sheer number of illegal immigrants coming over:

Nearly 7.3 million migrants have illegally crossed the southwest border under President Biden’s watch, a number greater than the population of 36 individual states, a Fox News analysis finds.

That figure comes from US Customs and Border Protection, which has already reported 961,537 border encounters in the current fiscal year, which runs from October through September.

If the current pace of illegal immigration does not slow down, fiscal year 2024 will break last year’s record of 2,475,669 southwest border encounters — a number that by itself exceeds the population of New Mexico, a border state.

The total number of southwest land border encounters since Biden assumed office in 2021 is 7,298,486, CBP data shows.

That is larger than the population of 36 US states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

We need President Trump back in office to end this crisis swiftly.
