Crippling inflation isn't the only problem that the president and his Democrat allies refuse to help solve.
House Republicans also passed a sweeping border security and immigration bill, which I helped craft as a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security. Our bill, the Secure the Border Act, would address the massive surges in migrants coming across our southern border each day.
But instead of working with us, the Biden Administration's response has been to make the problem worse.
That's why they're setting — and then breaking — records for the highest single day totals of illegal immigrants ever recorded
Two weeks ago, this administration set the record with more than 12,000 migrant encounters in a single day. Tuesday, they broke it again. The initial leaks suggested that Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) had more than 12,600 encounters that day. Since then, reports have shown the number to be even higher.
According to data obtained by the Washington Examiner, Tuesday saw CBP encounter 14,509 migrants attempting to illegally cross our southern border.
That's more than FIVE TIMES the average daily number when Joe Biden took office three years ago, and it's also more than quadruple the number CBP agents have previously said they can handle.
Our southern border is both a humanitarian crisis and a national security threat. It's making life harder for law enforcement and first responders, and it's endangering the lives of migrants who find themselves at the will of cartels and human traffickers.
Just like the inflation crisis, it won't stop until President Biden and the Senate Majority choose to put their country ahead of their radical left-wing ideologies.
