An immigration reform organization says the American public doesn't need former President Trump to tell them that the Biden administration has created a massive crisis at the southern border.

Last year, the Army brought in about 70,000 new recruits but missed its goal of 76,500 amid low unemployment and tough competition from higher-paying civilian companies.

"But in a true national emergency, I'm not sure that given the moral issues, the lack of education, the out of physical condition of the millennial generation, that we have a reservoir of very capable talented and qualified people to draw from."
An Army spokesman has said the goal is to have modest growth over the next couple of years with high-quality recruits.
