House Republicans, led by Speaker Johnson and hosted by RepTonyGonzales, are intensifying their focus on the U.S.-Mexico border crisis with a visit to Eagle Pass, Texas, and a prior meeting in San Antonio. The delegation, which includes Speaker Johnson, is touring the border to hear from Border Patrol, law enforcement, and stakeholders on the ground. The visit, which was preceded by a similar observation by Senator Braun weeks ago, comes amid strong criticism from Republicans such as Kari Lake, who has accused politicians like Ruben Gallego of tricking the public and being a 'Border Crisis Denier.' The GOP members, including RepBethVanDuyne who expressed gratitude for the initiative, have criticized the Biden Administration's handling of the situation, as echoed by SenRonJohnson on FoxBusiness. RepKeithSelf, who joined the visit, witnessed the 'destruction and dissolution' of the border firsthand, emphasizing the urgency for action. Republicans are ready to address the crisis and have already passed legislation aimed at securing the border, while also signaling their intent to amend any border deal reached by Senate negotiators.
I joined @SpeakerJohnson today in Eagle Pass and witnessed firsthand the destruction and dissolution of our southern border. This unmitigated disaster has brought America to a breaking point because of the lawless Biden administration policies. It’s time for real action.…

.@RubenGallego isn’t just a @JoeBiden enabler. He’s also a Border Crisis Denier. Unfortunately for Ruben, Arizonans can see the results of his “leadership” for themselves. We need to secure that border. We must get Ruben out of DC. I’ll do both. https://t.co/sOVXTo2g7v https://t.co/obBzQIRpBh
