The surge in illegal immigrants crossing into the United States from Mexico has been dubbed a crisis by Republicans and some immigration experts, but the mayor of Brownsville, Texas, says his city is not seeing an unprecedented surge.

“I don’t feel it’s a crisis for the city of Brownsville right now,” Mayor Trey Mendez, a Democrat, said in a Zoom call with reporters on Monday.
