Rep. Wesley Hunt: "They said we needed Congress to fix the border. Biden, Mayorkas, Democrats, and the media ALL lied. PRESIDENT TRUMP fixed it OVERNIGHT by executive order. Illegal crossings DOWN 95%. They created the crisis to push mass amnesty by Congressional compromise. NEVER FORGET!"

Rep. Pat Fallon: "Under Biden, we saw 28 months with over 200,000 illegal crossings and the admin made it clear they did not care about the safety of Americans. President Trump made a promise to remedy this crisis and has wasted no time in doing so. This progress is what Americans voted for.
