Senior National Security fellow Todd Bensman has accused US President Joe Biden of "inviting migrants" to cross the US border, as America's border crisis continues to intensify.
More than six million migrants have crossed the US-Mexico border since Joe Biden took office, despite a "drop" in crossings reported by US Border Force in March.
Appearing on GBN America, host Jacob Rees-Mogg claimed border officials, who "used to be seen as authority figures", are "now speaking to illegal immigrants on a first name basis".
Bensman backed Rees-Mogg's claim and said it is "exactly right", and it is currently happening across the US-Mexico border.

Bensman told GBN America: "The administration, before it entered office and was on the campaign trail in 2019. the Democratic candidates for president were messaging to the entire world what they were going to do if they won.
"And they said exactly what is happening now."
Bensman explained: "The Democrats said that they would end deportation, end detention, and provide what they call a safe and humane way to stay in the country.
"The whole world, of course, heard that and came running. And they're still coming."

Bensman said the he has spent the last week in Mexico, speaking to migrants along the US-Mexico border, to investigate how the American migrant crisis has escalated so quickly under Biden.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Bensman revealed: "I'm in Juarez, Mexico right now. I've spent the last five days among the immigrants.
"I had a large group speak to me yesterday. I asked 'why are you coming now?', and they said 'because they're letting us in'."
Bensman continued: "I asked them if they would have come otherwise, and they said no, we would have stayed home. We're coming because they're letting us in."
He fumed that the illegal migrants are not entering the US because of "some big climate change crisis" or "political persecution erupted", or "even big hurricanes or something like that", but they are coming because "the US opened the door to them".

Bensman stated: "They simply opened the door, the Americans opened the door. And when everybody saw that, they were like, well, I can't believe this is happening. Let's go. Let's make it before they change their minds."
He added that the border crisis is the "worst in American history" based on the ‘metrics’ alone, but he went even further to suggest it could be considered the worst in human history.“
He said: "The numbers, the metrics tell a story. We have never had anywhere near the number of illegal immigrant crossings into the US over the past 36 months in the history of the country and I dare say it is probably in the history of the world."
