The situation at our southern border is a full-blown catastrophe. Criminal drug cartels are trafficking enough fentanyl across our southern border to kill every American seven times over. Every month we are seeing an increase in illegal border crossings and encounters. Additionally, 42 people on the terror watchlist have been arrested at our border since Biden took office – and that’s only the ones we know about. Amid all of these alarming statistics – President Biden and Washington Democrats still plan to end Title 42, the last remaining tool we have.
Earlier this past week, I joined my colleagues on the Republican Study Committee in sending a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas questioning his suitability for office and demanding accountability for the Administration's open border catastrophe that is only getting worse by the day. You can read about our letter here.
We also held a press conference to speak out against Secretary Mayorkas' dereliction of duty and to warn the Biden Administration that unless they reverse course on their failed border policies, the criminal drug cartels will only continue to get wealthier and stronger. Meanwhile, those who live there can’t leave their homes without worry about who and what they will encounter on their property. It is shameful.
