Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) criticized the Biden Administration over the border crisis, calling it a national problem beneficial to drug cartels in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>He reports when drug cartels make a trade-off agreement with immigrants, they essentially are helping them to get into the country with the promise that these same immigrants will then move drugs through the states, such as fentanyl, which is killing U.S. citizens at an alarming rate.<\/p>\n<p>Gohmert said the administration plans on adding only 13 miles to the border wall, which would leave more than 1,000 miles still unprotected.<\/p>\n<p>Gohmert addressed the administration\u2019s approach to the border crisis stating, \u201cthe answer has not been to secure the border, the answer from this administration has been to say the border is secure\u2026when anybody with eyes to see or ears to hear knows that\u2019s not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2407613\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2407613\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2407613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1232872592.jpg\" alt=\"YUMA, AZ - MAY 13: A family of asylum seekers from Colombia walk through an opening in the wall at the US Mexico border to turn themselves in to US Border Patrol agents on May 13, 2021 in Yuma, Arizona.
