On Monday, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) led a group of Republicans to Eagle Pass, Texas, where he said the Biden administration has lost its grip on border security.<\/p>\n<p>The California lawmaker said the President\u2019s open border rhetoric is welcoming illegal immigrants and people on the federal terror watch list into the US. He also derided the Biden administration\u2019s push to end Title 42 and its move to give migrants phones, so federal agents can \u201ccheck in\u201d on them as they await immigration court proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy further lamented that border security is an issue that should be handled by the federal government, but instead those leading the efforts are officials at the state level.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI want to to tell Governor (Greg) Abbott thank you,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt\u2019s a job you shouldn\u2019t have to do, but you bringing the National Guard and others here as a determent to try to protect our borders because of what this President\u2019s actions have done.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The delegation also touched on the human toll of the Biden border crisis. They mourned the death of specialist Bishop Evans of the Texas National Guard who died trying to help an illegal migrant stuck in the Rio Grande.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Texas Rep. Chip Roy claimed Americans are dying from fentanyl coming in from Mexico and others are dying from cartel-run human smuggling operations. Roy added, however, the human toll doesn\u2019t just affect Americans.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve gotta actually do the hard work of having a sovereign nation secure a border so migrants don\u2019t get killed,\u201d he stated. \u201cThe 700 to 1,000 that are in body trailers that local officials have to go rent to put bodies in, the ranchers who find dead bodies on their property, the bodies we find in the river on a daily basis.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales touted the Republican stance on border security, adding all members are unified behind the issue. He urged members from all political affiliations to come together while stressing border security is not a partisan issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cEverybody in this crisis, everybody\u2019s world is turned upside down,\u201d said Gonzales. \u201cWe\u2019ve heard from ranchers that their kids can\u2019t go out and play. They have to carry pistols when they walk their properties. their childhoods have been stolen. people\u2019s lives have been stolen. This is about bringing everyone together. It starts with keeping Title 42.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe have answers, we have solutions to some of these issues. It starts with Title 42\u2026The admin wanted to do away with Title 42 a year ago, and the Republican Party fought them every inch of the way.

Mayorkas is expected to testify three times in front of Congress on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer\">Leader McCarthy Hammers Biden at the Border in Eagle Pass, Texas:<\/h2>\n<p><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/retired-border-patrol-chief-rodney-scott-on-biden-border-crisis\/\">Retired Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott On Biden Border Crisis<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Migrants walk on a dirt road after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, Tuesday, March 23, 2021, in Mission, Texas.
