EAGLE PASS, TX. -- On Wednesday afternoon, a delegation of over 60 GOP lawmakers led by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, made the trip down to Eagle Pass, Texas in order to address concerns over the immigration crisis. 

Congressman Mike Flood was also in attendance as he stood amongst the men who brought the issues of the immigration crisis forward.

“One thing is absolutely clear, America is at a breaking point with record levels of illegal immigration,” Johnson said. “Today we got a first hand look at the damage and the chaos the border catastrophe is causing in all of our communities.” 

Johnson was one of many who spoke out at the press conference. One of the topics discussed was the Biden Administration and what they were doing about the issue. 

“This administration has no answers, and no will to tackle this issue,” Rep. Juan Ciscomani said. “This is not a political matter. This is a matter of security and sovereignty.”

Eagle Pass is just one of many areas along the southern border where Mexican immigrants make their way into the U.S. without any sort of legalized process. 

“It took us over a decade to earn our citizenship,” Ciscomani said. “And what the Biden Administration has done, they've diluted the effort, the focus and the sacrifice of so many families that have paid the ultimate price of leaving their country to come here and go through a long, rigorous process to become U.S. citizens to be able to take that Oath of Citizenship, like I did in 2006. And this administration, with their actions, has made a fool out of that process.”

Some representatives went as far as to call on certain names of high-seat positions, expressing what they believe their policies are doing to the United States. 

“The policies of Mayorkas are being used by the cartels to exploit the American people and make billions of dollars,” Rep. Mark Green said. “Putting Americans at risk, hundreds of thousands of Americans dead to fentanyl. Tens of thousands of young people trafficked into sex slavery. Billions of dollars wasted. Expanded criminal networks now connected to the drug cartels in Mexico throughout our entire country.”

The lawmakers highlighted how the supposed effects of the immigration crisis must be dealt with in a timely manner. 

“The solution is to go back to the policies that worked,” Rep. Jim Jordan said. “The solution is our legislation, or the solution is simply I think one sentence. No money can be used to process or release into the country any new migrants. To just say suspended now, which the President can do, but if he won't do it, we should put that one sentence in must-pass legislation.”
