Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) raised a red flag of weaknesses at the United States-Canadian border amid an influx of immigrants entering the country.

Tenney appeared on Fox Report with Jon Scott on Saturday to share her insight from visits with U.S. Border Patrol agents along the northern border. The New York representative has been active in her pursuit of a more secure border, including sponsoring House bills to reduce Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s salary.

“The Border Patrol described that their resources are low,” Tenney said. “That many of them have been displaced to the southern border in order to deal with this, which has left us open and vulnerable in the north.”

While immigrants migrate into the country at a higher rate along the southern border, fiscal 2023, which ended last September, saw agents arresting 10,021 people at the northern border. This number was 11 times greater than the number reported in 2021.

“We’re very concerned about this in New York as well because 85% of the people on the terror watch list are coming through our northern border, which I alluded to earlier is very insecure and very concerned that we have a porous border here as well,” Tenney said. “We cannot allow the invasion into our country; it is really dangerous for our security but also dangerous and costly to the taxpayers.”

According to Tenney’s calculations, New Yorkers could spend some three billion dollars in taxes toward illegal immigrants this next year. This is due to those who are crossing via the northern border, and also the 37,500 migrants Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has sent to New York City since August 2022.

More than 10 million immigrants have reportedly entered the country illegally since Biden took office. It is the most recorded in that amount of time of any administration.
