| John, Over the weekend, illegal migrants stormed a border patrol checkpoint near El Paso in a brazen effort to gain entry to the United States. The mob of migrants who stormed the border have no regard for our laws and could have succeeded in their effort to gain entry into the United States if not for the brave men and women of Customs and Border Patrol. I’ve written to you in the past at length about the threat posed by the open-border policy the Biden Administration seems to support. As a member of Congress who grew up on the border, and who represents a border district, I’m outraged to see that no one in the federal government (namely the Homeland Security security) has been fired – or held accountable to any degree whatsoever – for their inability to secure the border. We can demand that Biden terminate individuals, like Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, but only the President has the power to remove him from office. Given that is unlikely to happen, Congress can make Mr. Mayorkas’ life “miserable” until he finds a solution to the chaos unfolding every day at the border. Recently, I introduced legislation in the House that would BAN the Homeland Security secretary from flying on private planes until the border is safe and secure. There is no reason whatsoever that Alejandro Mayorkas should be flying private on secure government aircraft when he can’t even ensure the safety of the American people. FIX THE BORDER→ John, nearly 40 individuals on the terrorist watch list have been apprehended at the border since Biden took office; when we have migrants overpower border patrol agents, which will likely become more common, how can anyone in power say that they’re doing everything they can to keep Americans safe?
