House Republicans highlighted the issue of immigration yesterday, expressing their concerns about the policies implemented by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. They believe that these policies defy and undermine the laws passed by Congress, posing a significant threat to national security and the safety of the American people. Over 60 congressional members, including Congresswoman Erin Pouchen, visited the Eagle Pass crossing in Texas to witness the crisis firsthand.
During their visit, the lawmakers had the opportunity to engage with the local community, including ranchers and law enforcement officials. Many of these individuals expressed the urgent need for the government to address the border situation. They called for a government shutdown until the Biden administration takes decisive action. Congresswoman Pouchen emphasized that the administration has allowed over 8 million individuals into the country, which surpasses the population of her home state of Indiana by 1 million. She described this influx as catastrophic and unsustainable.
