Texas GOP Lawmakers Fed Up With Biden’s Deadly Border Crisis Preview Their Plan To Fix It:
Texas Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives unveiled their legislative framework for fixing President Joe Biden’s crisis at the southern border on Thursday while blasting the Democrat commander-in-chief for failing to address the ongoing disaster.
Spearheaded by Rep. Chip Roy, the outline includes several policies aimed at stymying the mass influx of illegal immigration at the southern border. Among the key tenets of the agenda are plans to complete physical border infrastructure, as well as rectify existing enforcement policies neglected by the Biden administration. Cracking down on cartels and criminal organizations is also a core component, according to the delegation.
“With this new Republican majority in the House, our Texas delegation is committed to using every tool and authority at our disposal to hold President Biden, Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas, and this entire administration accountable for their dereliction of duty,” said Rep. Jodey Arrington.
Since taking office, Biden has revoked seemingly every policy imaginable that would permit Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials to effectively secure the U.S.-Mexico border. In June 2021, the administration announced it would be formally ending the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy, which required illegal immigrants seeking asylum to stay in the Latin American country until their court hearing. ---->READ MORE HERE
Texas Republicans tell White House - we DO have a plan for the 'undeclared war' at the border: GOP unveils security strategy - including a border wall, tightened interior enforcement and ending catch-and-release
The Texas Republican delegation in the House unveiled a new border security proposal to push back on White House assertions that the GOP has no 'plan' to fix the southern border.
The framework, which is made up of both legislation their delegation has already introduced and new proposals as Republicans prepare to take the House, is split up into four categories: completing the border wall, fixing border enforcement policies, enforcing laws in the interior, and targeting cartels.
Over the past few weeks the White House has essentially taunted Republicans by repeatedly claiming they had 'no plan' and only 'political stunts' when it comes to the southern border.
'You see a united team behind you that is fed up with the undeclared war against Americans,' ex-Navy fighter pilot Rep. Jake Ellzey said in a news conference Thursday morning. 'Last year alone we lost 105,000 Americans to overdose, two thirds of those two thirds of that is from fentanyl. That number is 287 every day. If this were a war that was declared, we would be losing it.'
'This is the cartels have brought every they are making more money trafficking in human beings than they are on drugs. They're responsible for this entire crisis. This time we declared them a clear and present danger to the national security the United States.'
Former President Trump put up about 458 miles of wall along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border before the Biden administration stopped construction. Texas Republicans also want to build 700 miles of roads along the border and bolster recruitment for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers by offering better pay and bonuses. --->READ MORE and VIEW THE PLAN HERE
