Since President Biden took office, over 2.7 million migrants have attempted to cross our Southwest border illegally. This surge can be traced back to President Biden's politically motivated decisions to dismantle the Remain in Mexico program, reinstate catch-and-release, and stop construction of the border wall system.

It is nearly impossible to grasp the full extent of the chaos unraveling everyday along the Southwest border without actually visiting and speaking with Customs and Border Protection (CBP), local law enforcement, and community members. 

This week, I joined the House Budget Committee on a trip to McAllen, Texas and the Rio Grande River to examine President Biden’s border crisis. Border Patrol officials repeatedly brought up the termination of the Remain in Mexico Policy, which has made the Rio Grande Valley sector of our border a hotbed of illegal activity perpetrated by Cartels. Specifically, by flooding certain areas with a stampede of illegal border crossers, Mexican cartels exploit susceptible locations to traffic deadly drugs, including fentanyl.

This crisis continues to escalate. The Biden Administration’s open borders policies encourage drug traffickers and human smugglers to profit and place local communities at risk as they are in the path of migrants crossing into the United States illegally.

Due to a lack of leadership from Washington, communities along the Rio Grande are taking matters in their own hands and securing their properties with privately-funded fences. It's encouraging to see Americans work together, but President Biden can and should step up and address the horrid situation along the Rio Grande.

It is always a pleasure speaking at the Fond du Lac County Towns Association meeting to help identify and address the needs of our local communities.
