In the 497 days since President Joe Biden was sworn into office, his administration has made it clear it has no intention of addressing the unprecedented crisis taking place at our southwest border.

For Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to testify in front of Congress that “we do” have operational control of our southwest border was laughable. It was an affront to the brave men and women serving on the border, and to the states and border communities that have been left to combat this crisis largely on their own.
