Border security is national security, and the Biden Administration’s self-created border crisis is one of the greatest threats facing our country. Over 11 million illegal immigrants have entered our country since Biden took office and millions more known and unknown “gotaways” have entered the country. Among the ranks crossing our southwest borders are known terrorists, smugglers, and gang members. The cartels have taken advantage of this to expand human trafficking operations and flood the United States with fentanyl, and other devastating substances.
As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, I have jurisdiction over the enforcement of our immigration laws and helped the House of Representatives pass H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, the strongest border security bill in American history. Ending the invasion of our country by people who wish to do us harm is among my top priorities in Congress.

The Biden Administration does nothing to stem the immense ecological harm being done by cartels and illegals, yet Americans are being fined millions of dollars for cleaning out an irrigation ditch on their own property. We must secure the border in order to protect our food safety and our most valuable resources.
