The situation at the southern border is far worse than the media or Democrats even realize.
Fourteen Border Patrol agents have committed suicide over the last few years. This is unacceptable.

“I’m a wife of a Border Patrol agent, and it is an honor standing here today on behalf of all those who can’t speak out for themselves – our heroes, our Border Patrol agents. Abandoned. Those are the exact words so many Border Patrol agents have talked to me about. They feel abandoned by this administration, abandoned. This shouldn’t be political. This shouldn’t be about Republican or Democrat,” said Flores…
“This is an American issue, and I’m asking the Biden administration, I’m asking to please take this issue serious. South Texas needs solutions. How many more lives do we have to lose for this administration to take this border crisis serious? What has been discussed here today, it is not only a statistic. Families are forever changed, but to me it’s personal,” Flores said.
“I have lost — we have lost Border Patrol agents in the recent weeks that are our friends. Just last night, we lost another friend. It has to stop. The Joe Biden administration has played the border crisis. His policies have created, have downplayed it. He’s on record stating there’s other more important things,” the congresswoman said.

Our prayers are with the family of CBP Agent Gonzalez, who died in the line of duty. Our CBP Agents are under duress and many have made life altering choices in order to protect our communities defend our country. We stand as one family when tragedy strikes one of our own. #RGV https://t.co/YBjmBYCyIq

Biden’s dereliction of duty at the southern border is a disgrace.
