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.

Fresh from a congressional visit to the southern border last week, Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman blasted the Biden Administration for its failures in stemming the tides of illegals and the social damage they are causing.
Rep. Hageman, a member of the House judiciary committee, said that articles of impeachment are likely to be filed against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In an interview with Breittbart News, Rep. Hageman said Mayorkas is violating his oath of office.
Hageman, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said that because Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has “abdicated his responsibilities,” bringing impeachment articles against him is “very likely.”
“I do believe that it’s very likely that there will be articles of impeachment brought against Mayorkas,” Hageman said. “And the reason being, he’s completely abdicated his responsibilities as the head of the Department of Homeland Security, and he is violating the oath of office that he took to protect this country from enemies, both foreign and domestic.”
Migrant encounters at the southern border have already surpassed the one million mark for Fiscal Year 2023, multiple Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources tell Fox News, marking an unprecedented pace for encounters.
