House Republicans, led by Speaker Johnson, have strongly criticized President Joe Biden for what they describe as intentional lawlessness and chaos at the southern border, attributing it to his administration's open border policies. They have passed H.R. 2, touted as the strongest border security bill in history, and are calling on Senate Democrats to act. The GOP delegation's visit to Eagle Pass, Texas, to meet with Border Patrol and law enforcement officials coincided with sightings of migrants attempting to cross the border. The situation has been described as unsustainable, with record levels of illegal immigration and the most illegal border crossings ever recorded last month. Republicans have accused Biden of failing to enforce immigration laws and DHS Secretary Mayorkas of unfairly blaming Texas Governor Abbott for the crisis, while Biden's administration is suing Abbott to open the border further. The GOP is pushing for policies such as the wall and the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, implemented under President Trump, to be reinstated, and some are calling for impeachment. They highlight that ten million migrants have crossed the border since Biden took office, and criticize the low deportation rate of 5.7% for illegal crossings.
Under @POTUS, the crisis at our southern border has hit historic levels. Last May, @HouseGOP passed H.R. 2 to increase security measures at our border & remove incentives encouraging illegal crossings. It's high time Senator Schumer & President Biden make this legislation law. https://t.co/qBPhMflg8a
This week, I experienced firsthand the absolute chaos happening at our Southern border. Illegal migrant crossings are at a record high, and drug smuggling and human trafficking are rampant. @HouseGOP remains steadfast in ending this lawlessness and securing our border. https://t.co/mplYaG3FxZ
.@SpeakerJohnson is right: the border is a disaster. 40% of the lands on our southern border are federal lands under our committee's jurisdiction. H.R. 2 would stop the dangerous criminals, drug smugglers and terrorists who illegally enter our country through remote areas of our… https://t.co/bNzbaqRDH5

Biden's lax border policies are leading to RECORD ILLEGAL MIGRATION on the southern border. Yesterday in Eagle Pass, TX, border enforcement urged me and my colleagues to make SERIOUS CHANGES, or the crisis will only worsen. Congress must pass meaningful border policy changes. https://t.co/Qw09OMGpgC
While visiting the Southern Border at Eagle Pass, Texas, I witnessed the madness of Biden’s open border.

Today, I toured Eagle Pass to meet with Border Patrol and get an update on the Biden Border Crisis. President Trump secured our border with the wall & remain in Mexico.

Texas has been left defenseless by President Biden. So @GovAbbott took matters into his own hands. Our border states shouldn’t be forced to put up makeshift walls because Dems refuse to do their job. @HouseGOP is here and ready to do what the Dems won’t: secure our border. https://t.co/t6UG3rXUpO
