Because the Democrats decided this is just another tool in the partisan war chest, I think there is a real risk that this turnabout will be fair play,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Stefanik emphasized that the border issue is a big one for Americans, even ones she represents in New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve focused like a laser on the crises in America, and what I hear from voters \u2014 even in my district in northern New York, because I represent border patrol officers who have been transferred again and again and again to the southern border \u2014 it\u2019s crisis after crisis, it\u2019s a catastrophe,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/government\/congress\/stefanik-impeaching-biden-anything-table-when-we-are-majority?utm_source=news.google.com&amp;utm_medium=news-app&amp;utm_campaign=external-news-aggregators\">noted<\/a> by JustTheNews, \u201cIllegal border crossings increased 5% in November over the previous month.
