While I was at the Border in Laredo with @tedcruz and @NancyMace last night, Border Patrol found 29 humans being smuggled in a trailer at Charley 29 Checkpoint.
We moved down to the Rio Grande where a group of 30+ migrants and coyotes were waiting to cross into the United States #BidenBorderCrisis #ImpeachMayorkas
I’m grateful for the hard work of Law Enforcement including Border Patrol Agents who are getting abandoned by @JoeBiden@KamalaHarris@SecMayorkas and their failed policies - we need to hold them accountable
During a Roundtable with Webb County (Laredo) Leadership a DEMOCRAT Elected Official said
“The only jobs @JoeBiden is creating here are for the Cartel”
More to come. These examples are only a tiny fraction of what Texans are going through every day. Biden is nowhere to be found.
Landowners in Roma having 200+ migrants cross their ranches at a time, leading to robberies and causing tens of thousands of dollars of property damage.
Message to Republicans & Democrats - including @HouseGOP & @SenateGOP colleagues. I do not trust you to do anything at all, much less say you will draft my daughter to “non combat” roles. Why don’t I trust you? Let’s see - THREAD: (1/9) #DontDraftOurDaughters
Maybe it’s because you (both R&D) have amassed $30 trillion in debt and are blowing through trillions more… all while giving lip service to “balanced budgets” for decades… (2/9)
Maybe it’s because you (both R & D) have talked about securing our border while Texans suffer - our ranches, our schools, our hospitals - Fentanyl pouring into our communities… murders, rapes… dead migrants on ranches… all in the false name of compassion… (3/9)
To start, this graph is what CNN wants you to believe about Biden’s COVID protocols at the border, but the red line starting in May appears to show the CUMULATIVE number of T42 expulsions since Biden took office, not MONTHLY number 2/
The graph here, however, is based on the Biden administration’s ACTUAL CBP numbers for the month of June. (Source: @profmjcleveland)
Yesterday in McAllen: @CBP overwhelmed. No room to process illegals inside, so have to wait outside under bridge. Just in 24 hrs in 2 stations, encountered over 3,400 (1700 MCS & 1300 RGVS). Currently holding over 7,000 illegals w/ some 5,000 waiting… #BorderCrisis (1/5)
…It’s over 100 degrees. The 2 stations have combined capacity of 620 – holding 7000! From Agent with over 2-1/2 decades of service - “they are way past capacity – so aliens sit outside because where do you take them? …it’s a nightmare – people want to go to bathroom… (2/5)
…need to eat, women need to breast-feed, & the list goes on… This has surpassed the point of sustainability – this is lunacy.”
Where are you, now, @AOC? The hypocrisy & double standard is undeniable. The difference? The Trump team was doing everything possible… (3/5)
Finally able to compare amended Senate version to the original (& House companion) one I cited below (all that was available at time) & @SenateGOP claims victory b/c it’s allegedly slightly “less bad,” & yet entire intent remains to tie awful crimes to speech & thought... (1/4)
... It specifically retains “COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force,” which the name in & of itself is absurd... but now having a ever-so-slightly modified task from issuing “best practices” for mitigation to “raising awareness” of “hate crimes” during the COVID-19 pandemic... (2/4)
...& further, it does pull out “gender identify” language tied to a definition of COVID-19 “hate crimes,” which no doubt the @senateGOP will claim as victory, but leaves DOJ with carte blanche to define hate “incidents” & instruct local, state law enforcement how to track. (3/4)
The @SenateGOP is utterly worthless. An absolute embarrassment. Good luck reclaiming the majority voting for absolute and total garbage COVID-19 “Hate Crime” legislation: “The term ‘COVID–19 hate crime’ means a crime of violence (as such term is defined in section... (1/4)
