Lesko Visits the Border
This week my staff and I went down to the southern border in Nogales, Arizona. I wanted my staff to see the crisis first hand. Even though I have been to the border multiple times, the crisis has only gotten worse. We walked next to the wall, went in a tunnel, saw how Port of Entry officers inspect cars, semi-trucks and produce, were shown pictures of drug seizures and witnessed groups of illegals being processed. CBP officers told us how most of their officers have been diverted from actually guarding the border to processing illegal immigrants. They told us they estimate the crisis is going to be worse than last year. I cannot stress to you enough how infuriated I am about President Biden and the Democrats open border policies. Over 9.4 million illegal immigrants have entered our country since Biden took office and it is only going to get worse. That is why House Republicans, including myself, passed a strong border security bill out of the House. Unfortunately, Senator Schumer refuses to even debate the bill. Please call Senator Schumer and ask him to pass HR2.
