Former TV talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw revealed what was discovered during his trip to the U.S.-Mexico Border, describing it as an “insane” situation that “shocked” him to the core.
The news comes amid the ongoing legal battle between the Biden administration and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, who is seeking to halt illegal immigration on the Mexico border.
McGraw noted how the Biden administration is encouraging illegal immigration with its border policies.
“One of the most fundamental psychological principles is you don’t reward bad behavior,” McGraw told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
McGraw then recalled a conversation with Border Patrol.

“I wanted to talk to the guys heading this up,” McGraw said.
“I have to tell you, you talk about some impressive troops down there. These guys are fighting a morale battle, because they can’t get what they need,” he added.
“And I wanted to know what’s happening down here? What’s really going on? We hear this number, 6 million people have come across under the current administration.”
“I talked to experts down there that say that number is a myth, that it’s closer to 13 million to 14 million that have come across.”
“I asked them straight up, what is it you need here?” McGraw continued.
“And I was shocked to hear them say, we don’t need more money. We don’t need more resources. We don’t need more officers.”
“We don’t need more legislation. We just need the laws that are on the books to be followed. We need to be allowed to do our job and we can get this under control right now.”
McGraw also noted how illegal immigrants reacted differently to federal agencies like the Border Patrol, compared with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
“The interesting thing that shocked me, Sean, if they run into someone in a brown uniform, that’s a Texas Department of Public Safety border guard, they get arrested, they get put in jail, and they get returned,” McGraw said.
“If they run into a green uniform, that is a federal, they get money and a court date that’s seven to 10 years down the road, and they get released into the country.”
“So you see these groups coming across, and if they see a brown uniform, they hide. They see a green uniform, they run toward it. That to me is just insane.”
