John Katko (R-NY) and Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) detailed the objectives of the GOP\u2019s American Security Task Force, particularly emphasizing cybersecurity and border security and warning that there will be no discussions on immigration reform until the border is secured.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0American Security Task Force, one of the seven task forces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/23\/house-republican-leadership-announces-taskforce-leaders-to-fix-bidens-failures\/\">created<\/a> by Republicans to identify and address President Biden\u2019s failures, will keenly focus on border security and cybersecurity, both congressmen told reporters on Thursday\u00a0at the 2022 U.S. House Republican Issues Conference.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The Biden border, they explained, is a massive issue as drugs are pouring across \u2014 particularly fentanyl.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery city is a border city,\u201d Katko said, emphasizing that the GOP is holding that view moving forward. He also said one of the \u201cday one\u201d bills for Republicans is \u201cfinishing what we started\u201d in regards to the border wall, emphasizing the importance of reinstituting and codifying the Remain in Mexico policy, which takes away incentive for individuals to flock to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u201c<\/span>This administration is repeatedly fighting the Remain in Mexico policy,\u201d Katko said, warning that \u201cas many as 1.7 million people are waiting for the Remain in Mexico policy to sunset\u201d which will spur \u201ca chaos at the border we haven\u2019t seen yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Ultimately, he said Republicans cannot have a broader discussion on immigration until the border is secure. To \u201cplay ball\u201d with Republicans, Democrats will have to work with them to secure the border first, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.\u00a0Gonzalez added that Democrats do not seem to have an interest in pursuing immigration reform in a bipartisan manner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople have to be willing to have a conversation,\u201d he explained, adding that it has been very \u201cdisappointing\u201d because many do not want to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalez also spoke about how the taskforce will focus on his area of expertise: Cybersecurity. A lot of the work, he explained, will\u00a0come to fruition when Republicans take back the House, reminding everyone that it remains the purpose of the conference \u2014 laying out what Republicans will do from \u201cday one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the congressman, ransomware is a growing threat. He added that it is not fair that businesses and corporations are defending themselves against state-sponsored actors. He also predicted that the next storm coming is a \u201ccyberstorm\u201d and the U.S. needs to be prepared. He mentioned one piece of legislation in particular, which would allow IT professionals to operate in federal space. He said Republicans will get a lot of these objectives over the finish line after they take back the majority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PONTE VEDRA, Florida \u2014 House Republican Reps.
