Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., told Newsmax Wednesday that it is the "radicals who write white papers" who run Washington.
Speaking to "Eric Bolling The Balance" on the border crisis, Schmitt said it's not in the Biden administration's "DNA" to "actually secure the southern border. They're OK with it."
"This is an administration that is populated with globalists who believe thry're citizens of the world and these sorts of arbitrary borders should go away.
"But the problem is ... these radicals who write white papers are now in charge of things, and this is the consequence. You know, you see the amount of human trafficking, the national security risk, the fentanyl being dumped in our communities, the burden on state and local governments now on taxpayers to pay for all this stuff. It's a total nightmare," Schmitt added.
