The purpose of their \u2063visit was to assess the ongoing crisis at the\u2062 border and gather firsthand information on \u200bthe \u2062situation.<\/p>\n<p>According\u200b to Johnson, the crisis at the border\u200b is a direct result of President Biden&#8217;s failed policies. He criticized the\u200b administration for incentivizing \u2063people to come to\u200c the country \u200binstead of deterring them. Johnson \u2063suggested that \u200dthe administration should reinstate the remain in \u200cMexico policy \u2063and take immediate action to address the issue. He emphasized that this doesn&#8217;t \u200brequire legislation, but rather strong \u200cleadership from the president.<\/p>\n<p>During their visit, Johnson and other members of the delegation met\u2064 with \u200bBorder Patrol officials \u2064at the Firefly processing \u2063facility. They were briefed on the current situation and the challenges faced by the\u2062 border patrol agents. Johnson \u200chighlighted the alarming\u2063 numbers since Biden took office, stating that\u2063 there have been over 7\u200c million\u2063 illegal encounters at\u200b the \u200dborder, with nearly 2 million individuals\u2062 getting away\u200c and\u200c over 300 apprehended\u200d suspects on \u200cthe terrorist watch list.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson also\u200c highlighted the concerns \u2064raised by a local sheriff and former border patrol agent, who informed him that the \u200dBiden administration dismantled 100 years of progress at the border in less than 6 months.\u2063 He further expressed his concern that\u2062 the border has been opened to the entire\u200b world,\u2062 with people from nearly 170 countries flowing across the border.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200dRepublican delegation&#8217;s visit comes \u2064in response to\u200d the White\u2062 House&#8217;s attempt to shift the narrative and blame \u2064Republicans \u200bfor the migrant crisis. In \u2062a statement, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates accused House Republicans of \u200dhaving an anti-border security record\u2062 and\u2062 opposing\u2064 President Biden&#8217;s border security funding. Johnson\u200c dismissed these accusations, stating that Biden&#8217;s America has laid out \u2063a welcome mat \u2062for migrants\u2063 and\u200b continues to attack lawmakers who are trying to prevent illegal crossings.<\/p>\n<p>The press conference held\u2062 by the Republican delegation also coincides with Republicans planning an impeachment hearing against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Representative Mark Green (R-Tenn.) called\u200d Mayorkas \u2064the greatest\u2064 domestic threat to \u2063the safety of \u200cthe American people and national security. \u2063The House Homeland Security Committee is set to hold an impeachment hearing against \u2064Mayorkas on January 10th.<\/p>\n<p>The visit to Eagle Pass allowed the Republican delegation\u2062 to gain a \u200bfirsthand understanding of \u2062the border crisis and the impact of President \u200cBiden&#8217;s policies. Their findings and statements highlight the urgent need for action to address the situation and\u200c ensure the security of\u2062 the border. As the issue continues to escalate,\u2062 it remains to be seen\u2062 how the Biden administration will respond and whether they will \u200btake \u2063the necessary steps to address the crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A US National Guard soldier secures the Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas.
