On Monday, I visited our southern border in McAllen, TX where in the last 4 weeks alone nearly 26,000 illegal immigrants passed through the Rio Grande Valley sector of the border. This crisis is being outright ignored by the Biden administration, which is only incentivizing record breaking crossing and some of the most disastrous policies we’ve ever seen.
It’s time for Democrats to get a harsh reality check. Fentanyl is coming across our border in droves, and is now the #1 cause of death in young adults. Cartels are fully enriched by this crisis, gaining more power every day. Enough is enough. I will do everything in my power to secure our border next Congress. This is a bipartisan issue that affects every American, and we need to start acting like it.
When Republicans take the majority this November, we are going to hold this failing administration accountable for their complete dereliction of duty. That’s why I’m running for Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee.
