As another Republican congressional delegation arrived in Eagle Pass, Texas, Wednesday to hold another news conference and meet local residents, many Texans living at the border say they are fed up and want Congress to shut down the border.
If Congress continues to use taxpayer dollars to fund policies that facilitate the border crisis, they argue, Congress is complicit in creating it and a national security threat.
Kinney County, a small Texas border community, was the first Texas county to declare an invasion.
" Smith argues that congressional delegations "coming to the border and holding press conferences is irrelevant because what matters is what happens in Washington, D.C. Continuing funding existing policies is allowing what's happening here to occur.
" Maverick County resident and cattleman Martin Wall, agreed, telling The Center Square, "everyone in Congress is responsible for what is happening at the border.
" Val Verde County resident and Border Patrol agent wife, Alison Anderson, told The Center Square that the administration's proposed funding includes "building more encampments to house more illegal aliens, not for border security.
"There doesn't need to be a press conference in Eagle Pass," she said, but "Changes in policy in Washington, D.C. Congress has no problem throwing money at Ukraine but when it comes to securing our own border, they do nothing to prioritize national security."How many groups of 19 people who came through the border have similar motivations to commit terror in our country? How many of the millions of illegals already here will commit a terrorist attack or violent crimes in communities across America?" In the first three months of fiscal 2024, 80 known or suspected terrorists have been apprehended attempting to enter the U.S. illegally, with the majority, 46, at the northern border.
