Dr. Phil McGraw‘s identified for serving to households iron out their points, and now he is taking up his greatest problem but … attempting to repair U.S. immigration.

The tv remedy star visited the Southern border in Texas on Friday to movie upcoming episodes of “Dr. Phil Primetime” — a brand new primetime present he introduced just a few months in the past which can reportedly comply with an analogous format as his OG “Dr. Phil.”

DPM walked the fence down in Eagle Go, TX and filmed a number of interviews with border brokers whereas additionally stopping to take some pics with border patrol officers … all whereas railing towards the present administration’s immigration coverage.

McGraw’s particularly calling out Vice President Kamala Harris … mentioning she’s America’s immigration czar — however claiming she’s solely really visited the border with Mexico one time since she ascended to the VP job.

What’s fascinating right here … Dr. Phil is not taking the “all or nothing” stance many conservative politicians and commentators have staked their reputations on … as an alternative, he mentioned he is really in favor of immigration and is aware of immigrants drive the U.S. economic system ahead.

However, McGraw defined, that does not imply there is not an issue on the border … saying we have to “teach people how to treat us” as an alternative of displaying undocumented migrants that “they do not need to follow the rules at our border” — including it is a slippery slope from ignoring immigration legal guidelines to migrants breaking legal guidelines as soon as they’re within the nation.

NEW: Dr. Phil is on the Southern Border blasting Kamala Harris and talking out towards the Biden Border Disaster calling it a “humanitarian crisis unlike anything we’ve seen before.”

You realize it is unhealthy when Dr. Phil is concerned.
