As an American and as a former law enforcement officer, news like this infuriates me.
We have so many hardworking men and women in our border patrol who want to see this country safe and secure, but the Biden Administration and its left-wing bureaucrats are actively working against their interests.
I've been to the border, and I know what it will take to make it secure. On the House Homeland Security Committee, I helped craft a plan that would do just that by:
- Forcing President Biden to restart construction of the border wall;
- Hiring more border patrol agents and giving current agents retention bonuses;
- Strengthening anti-human trafficking laws; and
- Ending "catch-and-release" policies.
President Biden and his Democrat allies in the Senate are blocking our bill, but we won't give up the fight. If you want more updates on how Homeland Security Republicans are pushing border security legislation and holding officials like DHS Secretary Mayorkas accountable, please sign up for my newsletter here.
It's my honor to serve you in Congress. If I can help you or your family in any way, please call one of my offices below or visit my website at ezell.house.gov.
