John Saunders, who owns a property near Laredo, says, ‘We got a real problem down here.’ <\/p>\n
South Texas rancher John Saunders told “America Reports” on Wednesday “it\u2019s time to open the curtain and let people see what it\u2019s really like down here” regarding the Biden administration’s border crisis.<\/p>\n
Some members of the media have called out the administration for denying them access to what many believe to be a crisis of its own making.<\/p>\n
Migrants have entered his family\u2019s property at least 20 times within the year, Saunders said, adding, “We got a real problem down here.”<\/p>\n
The rancher, who owns a property near Laredo, noted migrants sometimes use cars to race to the border and have damaged his fence. <\/p>\n
“It really adds up,” he told host John Roberts, noting repairs can cost up to $6,000.<\/p>\n
