John,

I just got back from Del Rio, Texas. I wanted to see Biden’s Border Crisis first hand.

It was shocking. I met with our brave and overworked Border Patrol agents and toured the area where just a few weeks ago over 15,000 illegal Haitian migrants crossed into the United States and camped out under the international bridge.

According to the Border Patrol, many of these illegal immigrants were released into the United States. Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security admitted to letting this happen.

Our immigration system is broken. And President Biden’s open border policies are making the crisis worse. 

I supported President Trump’s idea of building the wall. In Congress, I voted to fund the project. 

Joe Biden has not only halted the construction of the wall but now is tearing down sections of the wall that were not completed because he canceled the project.

Here are some shocking statistics: 

•Over 1.2 million illegal immigrants have been encountered at our southern border since Joe Biden took office (that doesn’t count the illegal immigrants who went undetected) 

•Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio sector encountered immigrants from 90 different nationalities. Securing our border is a matter of National Security. 

•The Del Rio sector, which is one of nine, has over 860 crossings per day. Border Patrol agents in Del Rio apprehended several illegal immigrants right in front of me! 

Joe Biden is putting the men and women of Border Patrol in an impossible position. Biden’s open border tone is encouraging more illegal crossings. 

It’s critical that we provide our Border Patrol with the necessary resources to do their jobs, secure our border, and end Biden’s Border Crisis. 

The Democrats in Washington continue to ignore the crisis. We need to elect more conservatives to win back the House so we can have the votes to secure our border. Can you help?
