Portions of the border wall and met with sheriffs and border agents there. They say president biden s policies are fueling the crisis. You have an open, really dangerous border. More dangerous than it s ever been in the history of our country. All biden had to do is go to the beach. If he had done nothing we would have the strongest border we ve ever had. Things have changed to quickly and dramatically under the biden administration it has been disastrous. People of texas has been pleading for us to step up and help restore safety and security in their lives and that s exactly why texas is stepping up and doing a job that is truly the federal government s job. Harris: republicans are saying trump is the one still meeting on this issue and the biden team is ignoring american s concerns. My takeaway is the real border czar is president trump. This federal government of ours has failed the state of texas, has failed to provide for the common defense and our president and commanderinchief

House speaker nancy pelosi today calling on republicans to take back their party, and commended those who voted in favor of the commission. Watch. Quite frankly, many republicans courageously withstood the vote, shall we say, assault on our democracy going forth. It is interesting to see 35 members coming forth, i m very proud of them.
