KATIE PAVLICH (FOX CONTRIBUTOR): Well, it just means that the Border Patrol is overrun, both with unaccompanied minors, with family units, and with national security implications, right? All of these things. It's not a simple process. But Greg is absolutely correct about this panel that they’re putting together to do this family reunification. They’re going to find out that a lot of these kids that came with quote “parents” weren’t parents at all and they were paid by smugglers to bring them to the border. Not a single person is getting to the Mexican border with the United States without paying a coyote or a smuggler. And the Biden administration is setting themselves up to have a massive crisis in President Biden’s first year. And you’re already seeing officials in the Biden administration trying to kind of walk this back. Jen Psaki did it today, saying, don't come here yet; we have to rework the system. You have officials in DHS saying the same thing. Because people are listening to the talk in the narrative of this now open border policy, and smugglers are saying pay us the money, we'll take you to the border, and you're going to be able to stay.

And also, on the other side, they’re creating another public health crisis for themselves. I mean, this idea that you can't fly into the United States on an international flight without getting a COVID test, but yet we are just going to have this narrative that we are repealing all of these pieces of memos and executive orders from a previous administration that were put into place for very purposeful reasons creates a number of crises in Biden's first year. And so I think they are going to regret this. And there will be consequences for these kids. And they are going to find out that this was -- the fancy media narrative is separated families. You’ve stripped the kids away from their parents’ arms, their mother's arms. Well, the fact is they were used as shields to get adults, many of them criminals, into the United States. That's what they were used for.
