Re-electing Democrats means border crisis will 'only get worse,' says Dan Patrick

Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, R-Texas, warns of the potential consequences on border security if Democrats maintain control of Congress after the midterms.

LT. GOV. DAN PATRICK: Look, if you get away with bad policy, if you get away with destroying America, which they've done since Biden took office, and you don't pay for it at the ballot box, if we don't take back the U.S. Senate, don't take back the U.S. Congress and win some of these governors races and important races around the country, then they'll only get worse. And you think how worse can get a lot worse. And so they have to pay that price. And I think that's why America will stand up, and we will see significant wins. And a number of states are very hopeful they can take back to the U.S. Senate. 

I know there are a couple of close races. Look, we have our own race here in Texas. Governor Abbott's on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. So Ken Paxton, our attorney general, is on the ballot as well as our other state-wide congressional races. And you know what? We have a battle on our hands. They're pouring hundreds of millions of dollars in from out-of-state or dark money PACs that you don't know who's funding it.
