This morning, we visited an unfinished 14-mile section of the border wall near Mission, Texas, where construction began during the Trump Administration. It's disappointing the Biden Administration halted construction because border security matters, and it's critical to keeping our country safe.
Yesterday we were briefed at the migrant facility near McAllen, Texas. We also spoke with U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel as they started their shift, and saw the trails along the Rio Grande that are used for crossings. CBP has a tough and dangerous job, and they don't get enough credit for what they do.
Today and tomorrow, I'll be joining Congressman Steve Scalise and other members of Congress to meet with law enforcement in Texas at the southern border to see the border crisis firsthand. From what I've learned so far, this crisis is the direct result of Biden Administration policies and rhetoric. More to come.
