SUPREME COURT REJECTS BIDEN IMMIGRATION GUIDANCE, KEEPING TRUMP-ERA POLICY IN PLACE FOR NOW
REP. MIKE TURNER: Just last week, the director of homeland security declared that the border was secure. So three of us from the Intelligence Committee went down to the border. We met with the FBI, DEA, Texas Public Security Department. And we can tell you, not only is the border not secure, that in fact, the director is just absolutely lying. But it remains a significant national threat to our country. We saw evidence and spoke to the officers there about the unbelievable amount of criminal activity, drugs being smuggled, humans being smuggled, that people who are crossing the border, many who are coming across the border are not even from the Western Hemisphere, people flying into Mexico and then making it into our border and across the border. This represents an absolute national security threat.
