Unbelievable.

While Texas secures the border, the federal government is enabling illegal immigration.

Biden’s open border policies caused this crisis.

The federal government must do its job & fix it. https://t.co/4yqR8uQMo8

NEW: For the first time, we witnessed the TX National Guard close & lock a gate on private property at a major crossing area in Eagle Pass, denying entry to migrants who just crossed illegally & expected to be let in. Border Patrol then came w/ a key & let them in for processing. pic.twitter.com/S1fZaTJnEi

Border Patrol opening gates etc to allow migrants in is not new. They have to process migrants on U.S. soil per federal law. What’s new is TX is now closing the gate & denying entry at this major crossing location. Always open in months past, including this video I shot in May. pic.twitter.com/FfWWvoch6r

66 people on the terrorist watchlist have been arrested at the border this fiscal year.

Fentanyl seizures increased 202% in July.

Texas continues to step up to combat the influx of crime & deadly drugs crossing our border.

Biden must end this crisis.https://t.co/zJoaAtFmnz
