Congressional Leaders Witness Heartbreaking Border Crisis First Hand
EL PASO, TX The crisis at the border came into focus as members of Republican U.S. House leadership led by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) visited key border security centers in the El Paso Sector of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) and Tony Gonzales (TX-23) were front and center asking the Biden administration to recognize the crisis that is brewing along the U.S. and Mexico border and to take action.
Pfluger said that President Biden is choosing winners and losers in the current crisis. The losers are the American people and the winners are the drug cartels who are organized and spearheading the flood of human beings who began a dangerous trek from as far away as South America through Central America and then Mexico before swimming or wading across the Rio Grande into Texas.
