Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp visited the U.S. southern border in Texas on Friday to check in on his state’s 300 National Guard troops stationed there and “witness the crisis we’re facing,” he said.

Kemp described the scene as “drastically different” than his last trip to the area in December. He chided Vice President Kamala Harris for not yet traveling there after President Joe Biden named her to lead efforts to slow the flow of foreigners. Harris has said her role emphasizes “addressing the root causes of migration and to focus on the Northern Triangle countries,” which include Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.

The governor took a boat tour of the Rio Grande river that separates the U.S. from Mexico, where hundreds of asylum seekers reportedly cross nightly. Kemp said many of the migrants are guided by smugglers and drug cartels.

“It’s unbelievable what is happening there,” Gov. Kemp said during an appearance on FOX News on Saturday. “The cartels are making a lot of money shipping people across the border. They really have a strategic plan. They’ll start throwing kids and people in the river that can’t swim to divert Border Patrol agents from getting these cartel members. They’ll also send people across to be a decoy, then float Ford Rangers full of drugs across the river and get them into the interior of the country.”
