Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – We are witnessing significant increases in encounters at the southwest border with individuals from countries of concern like the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Russia.
As Chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, I held a hearing this week to examine the threats posed to the U.S. homeland by malign nation-state actors in Central and South America.
The chaos of the southwest border could be taken advantage of by anti-U.S. regimes. Meanwhile, the PRC and our foreign adversaries are expanding their spheres of influence in Latin America—essentially in our backyard.
As they grow their diplomatic, economic, and military activities in the region, there are clear implications for U.S. homeland security. Recent data released by the United States Customs and Border Protection shows a steep increase in encounters with foreign nationals from the PRC, Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela, amongst others, at our southwest border.

This investigation into President Biden’s mishandling of our national security has been rightly referred to the Homeland Security Committee with my vote. I’m proud to represent the Lone Star State on the committee now charged with this responsibility. Our work will be thorough, responsible, and constitutional – unlike the work of Democrat-led sham impeachments. It’s time for us to lay out the facts for the American people.
Biden EPA Official Pushing EVs Doesn't Know How Much Electricity the U.S. Needs
During a hearing on the Energy and Commerce Committee, I questioned Joe Goffman, the Deputy Assistant Administrator of the Office of Air and Radiation at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Goffman was appointed by President Biden to help lead the EPA in their mission to kill fossil fuels and mandate expensive, unrealistic Electric Vehicles. I asked him a simple question: how much electricity does the United States need? He couldn't give me an answer.
Just a few weeks ago, Jennifer Granholm, the Secretary of the Department of Energy, couldn’t answer the question either.
This is extremely concerning considering these are the people dictating our Nation’s energy policy and driving costs up for all Americans.
