CONG. McCAUL: Fixing Border Crisis Didn't Take More Laws, It Took New Leadership



"In my exchange with Homeland Security Secretary Noem, I contrasted the Biden admin's total failure with the Trump administration's astounding success."

By Cong. Michael McCaul

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – I’ve worked on border issues for 25 years — first as a federal prosecutor and later as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee — and I can safely say I’ve never seen the border as broken and chaotic as it was under President Biden’s leadership. Under the Biden/Harris administration, the federal government abdicated its duty to protect the homeland. And Texans bore the brunt of that abject failure.

The good news is: I’ve also never seen any administration secure the border and restore order as quickly and efficiently as the Trump administration has done so.

It didn't take new laws, as Democrats repeatedly claimed last year; it just took new leadership.

At this week's Homeland Security Committee hearing, we heard from President Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, about the great work her department has done to secure the border.

In my exchange with Secretary Noem, I contrasted the Biden administration's total failure with the Trump White House's astounding success.

And, I asked her about the importance of passing House Republicans' reconciliation bill, which contains $70 billion to further fund the President's border security agenda.
