Some of my fellow House Republicans visited the Texas-Mexico border yesterday.
I didn't attend.
While I commend my colleagues for observing the Biden Border Crisis up close if they haven't already seen it, the time for press conferences and photo ops is over.
The American people are expecting action from us.
The border is a complete disaster. Every month the crisis has spiraled further into chaos. The safety and well-being of every Texan and American is threatened; indeed, this crisis shakes the foundation of our Constitutional Republic.
There is no more fundamental responsibility of any government than to secure its sovereign borders. If a government fails in its most basic role, how can its citizens expect anything further?
We control the U.S. House of Representatives. It’s time to use our chamber’s Constitutional budget authority to DEMAND the southern border is secured – it’s time to fix this crisis.
This cannot go on. If Republicans fund this government, then Republicans own the border crisis.
If we fund this, we own it.
Patriot – I make this stand for Texas and America. Will you stand with me? I rely on your support to ensure Congress secures the border.
It’s up to Congress to fix this. Specifically, it’s up to us – the House Republican Majority – to REQUIRE border security by REFUSING TO FUND the United States Government until it’s done.
