Gov. Kristi Noem: Border Patrol is 'overwhelmed,' immigration crisis will get 'much, much worse'

Border Patrol is "overwhelmed," and the immigration crisis is going to get "much, much worse" at the southern border, Gov. Kristi Noem told Fox News in an exclusive video.

"And frankly, Border Patrol was pretty candid today in how overwhelmed they are and that they don't know what they would do if our National Guard wasn't here," Noem continued. She also said that most drugs in her state are entering through the southern border. A few miles to the west of the checkpoint Noem visited, Penitas Police Officer Oscar Barron patrols a three-mile section of the wall that has a large gap within sight of the Rio Grande. "Any kind of help is welcome out here in this area," Barron told Fox News. "It’s a well-known hot area. It’s one of the most highly trafficked areas in Texas, I believe in the whole country."
