Last week, an illegal immigrant in Richmond was arrested before he was able to carry out a planned shooting during a Fourth of July event, and in Texas, a convicted rapist was detained after he illegally crossed our southern border for the second time.
President Biden continues to ignore the immigration crisis. Thousands of unknown and unvetted migrants pour across the border each day, putting the safety of our communities and our families at risk. I demanded President Biden declare the border crisis a national emergency nearly a year ago. Since then, he has ignored my request and refused to even visit the border.
The president has prevented the federal government from enforcing our immigration laws by allowing the crisis to escalate to a complete border invasion. The U.S. Constitution gives states the power to declare an invasion and take matters into their own hands. On Thursday, Texas announced the state’s national guard will begin detaining and returning migrants to the border. I fully support Texas taking every action possible to secure the southern border and keep our state safe.

While Americans struggle with the highest gas prices in decades, it was revealed more than five million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves were sold overseas, including to a Chinese company with ties to Hunter Biden. Our strategic oil reserves are meant to be held for use in times of war to keep our nation safe, not to enrich friends and business allies of the president’s family. Congress must investigate this decision and whether Hunter Biden financially benefited from the sale.
