This week, Democrats are again scrambling to cram through trillions of dollars of new spending for their so-called infrastructure and reconciliation bills. Each is chock-full of harmful programs that will fundamentally change our country forever—by stripping our freedoms to make us even more dependent on big government programs.
Meanwhile, President Biden is in Europe vilifying American energy producers and peddling his Green New Deal agenda.
Republicans are speaking up to expose this radical agenda. I will do everything I can to push back and protect our freedoms and Texas way of life.
Border Crisis Continues
We now know that over 1.7 million illegal immigrants were apprehended crossing the southwest border this year—the highest number ever—and CBP has seized enough fentanyl at the border to kill every person in the United States seven times over.
On top of this, over 400,000 people illegally crossed the border and got away this last year, and we have no information about these individuals or their whereabouts.
Even as migrant caravans with thousands of migrants march towards our border, his administration continues to mislead Americans and deny the crisis.
I am extremely concerned about who is facilitating these caravans, and what organizations are possibly involved in drug and human trafficking along the way.
The blame for the crisis falls squarely on President Biden and his open-border policies.
His administration’s blatant disregard for border security is unacceptable, and puts the safety of Texans and all Americans at risk.
I am urging President Biden and Democrats in Congress to come to the table and work with Republicans on commonsense measures to secure our border and protect American lives.
