The influx of immigrants coming over the border isn’t just affecting the southern states according to a local Congressman.

1st District Representative Bryan Steil says he’s spoken to a number of members of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol as well as local law enforcement in Eagle Pass, Texas.

The Janesville Republican says 10,000 illegal immigrants are coming into the United States every day.

Steil thinks a policy that requires people to remain in their country of origin in order to claim asylum needs to be reinstated.

In a letter to the Biden administration seeking resources, Whitewater Police Chief Daniel Meyer estimated some 800-1000 immigrants have arrived in the city of some 15,000 residents since early 2022, primarily from Venezuela and Nicaragua.
