Special Edition: Border Security

Congressman Michael McCaul Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. This week Speaker Paul Ryan visited our nations border for the first time and I had the opportunity to tour the Rio Grande Valley border operations with him Congressman Judge Carter and Congresswoman Martha McSally.  It was an insightful trip and I believe it is vital for legislators to see firsthand the current border security situation to better learn how Congress and President Trump can help enforce our laws and protect our homeland.  As Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security I applaud the Speaker for making this a priority in Congress.  Below you will find a few of the pictures from the trip. After the trip I announced the rollout of the new Homeland Security task force: Task Force on Denying Terrorists Entry into the United States.  It will examine all pathways by which extremists might infiltrate the homeland and will seek to identify gaps in U.S. government information sharing and vetting procedures.  Learn more by reading this article. To wrap up the week I appeared on Fox News: Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo this morning to discuss the border trip how we can improve the refugee vetting process and the need for better border security.  Watch here.
