A Texas mother living near the Mexico border has revealed the migrant crisis has become so bad that she is too scared to let her children play outside.

Alison Anderson, who recently moved to the Texas border town of Del Rio with her family, told ‘Fox and Friends’ Friday that the situation has been getting worse over the last six months.

‘Three nights ago, there was a group at our next-door neighbor’s house circling the vehicles and tapping on their daughter’s bedroom window,’ Anderson said.

‘I have neighbors constantly calling me – elderly neighbors, specifically – that are concerned and fearful.’

‘It was peaceful for a while,’ she said. ‘I was actually enjoying having peace of mind and allowing our kids to play outside, but they can’t do that anymore.’

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem announced earlier this week she is sending the National Guard to the southern border in response to the recent influx of migrants from Central America.

However, MSNBC host Joy Reid slammed the move while insisting that the migrant issue is a ‘nonexistent crisis’ in a debate segment with Noem on Thursday. =

Reid lambasted Noem and like-minded politicians for pandering to the MAGA crowd after the South Dakota governor made the announcement on Tuesday.

‘It would appear that our inaugural Absolute Worst is jealous of all the attention that our two record-holders, Republican Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Florida’s Ron DeSantis and so she’s sending South Dakota’s National Guard troops roaming, deploying them to the southern border of Texas, joining MAGA sycophant DeSantis and the governors of Iowa and Nebraska in sending ‘help’ to the border,’ Reid said.

50 National Guard troops are being deployed in response to Greg Abbott’s plea for more border security for a nonexistent crisis.’

Reid also pointed out how Noem’s deployment of the National Guard will be privately funded by billionaire Republican donor Willis Johnson.

‘So there you have it! This is where we’ve come to, America!’ Reid stated.

‘A super-wealthy political donor is paying for American soldiers to deploy on a military mission with political undertones… It’s certainly not in the best interest of South Dakotans. It’s totally political theater.’

But Texans living by the Mexico border face the reality of the migrant issue on a daily basis, according to Anderson, who told Fox that she and her family have encountered illegal immigrants in the area for years.

‘It’s scary. I want safety. I want something done,’ she said.

‘I’m grateful for the additional support that we’re getting here with law enforcement,’ she added. ‘I wish Border Patrol was able to go and do their jobs again.’
