In a recent visit to Eagle Pass, TX, along the US-Mexico border, Congressman Mike Lawler, accompanied by House Speaker Mike Johnson and several fellow legislators, reported witnessing a group of approximately ten to twelve individuals illegally crossing the Rio Grande. According to Lawler, these individuals navigated through barbed wire to enter the United States.
In a statement released on X platform, formerly known as Twitter, Congressman Lawler expressed his concerns over the current state of border security. He emphasized that since President Joe Biden’s inauguration, an estimated ten million migrants have crossed the southern border. Describing the situation as “absolute madness,” Lawler criticized Senate Democrats for their reluctance to implement what he refers to as “commonsense measures” to strengthen border security.
The Congressman’s account of the border crossing incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced in managing the US-Mexico border. Lawler’s call for urgent action reflects a growing sense of urgency among some lawmakers to address the complex issue of immigration and border security.
