During a recent interview, she said the border needs to be secure to help people come to the US legally.<\/p>\n<p>Flores added, the crisis at the southern border has been largely ignored by many politicians in Washington. She contends inaction by lawmakers has helped fuel a cycle of violence and abuse, where women and children suffer unspeakable horrors at the hands of cartel-connected smugglers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cUnfortunately, we have a border that is under control of criminal organizations in the South in Northern Mexico,\u201d explained the congresswoman. \u201cIt is a sad reality, but no one can cross the border into this country without having to pay thousands of dollars to criminal organizations. Women are abused, children are abused. This country is number on in child trafficking. This is something that I can\u2019t understand how people can be so evil, but we must secure the border to protect the women, to protect the children.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Flores also suggested President Biden is inviting migrants to make the dangerous trek to the southern border through his policies.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u2018If we had better laws, laws that would help people not have to take these great risks, people would do it,\u201d she noted. \u201cBut this president with his policies, he is telling people to come. He is not saying it with words, but he is saying it with actions, with what he is doing. He is telling the people to practically come.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8BREAKING: One of the most massive single border groups witnessed crossing into Eagle Pass, TX.<\/p>\n<p>This is happening because <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> has signaled to the world that our borders are WIDE OPEN. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hDglRRoFJV\">https:\/\/t.co\/hDglRRoFJV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 House Homeland GOP (@HomelandGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HomelandGOP\/status\/1547214097984495616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 13, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Texas congressman also said under Biden, \u201cvery bad people\u201d are making their way through the southern border while Border Patrol agents are busy tending to migrant women and children.
