In \u2064her impassioned address, \u200bshe accused border agents \u2063of \u200dassuming the role of &#8220;travel agents&#8221; instead\u2063 of\u2064 fulfilling their duty to \u200csecure\u200c the border.<\/p>\n<p>According to \u200bLee, \u2064Border\u2063 Patrol agents are eager\u2062 to enforce the law \u200dand protect the country, but they are being coerced by the administration to stand down. She directed her criticism towards\u2064 President Biden himself, \u200cclaiming that his\u2064 inaction has allowed\u200d drug cartels to \u2063gain \u200ccontrol\u2064 of the\u2062 border\u200d while \u2064he discusses vague &#8220;root\u200c causes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lee argues \u2064that these lenient policies have\u200b resulted in \u2062tragic and dangerous consequences.

She warned that this\u200b crisis\u200d poses a true danger to \u200dthe United States.<\/p>\n<p>Lee, \u200dalong with other House Republicans, \u2063is determined to put\u200c an \u2064end to this \u2062border \u2062crisis. They advocate \u2063for a return to former President Donald\u2062 Trump&#8217;s immigration policies, \u2064which they see as more effective in addressing the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s lenient approach to the \u200bborder has resulted in record-breaking numbers of illegal crossings.
