America no longer controls much of the southern border. Large swaths of the border are compromised by Mexican drug cartels enriching themselves through human trafficking and drug smuggling. Earlier this month, I traveled to the Rio Grande Valley sector of our southern border to see it for myself. It’s far worse than the liberal media report. It’s as bad as you think — and it’s getting even worse.

On Jan. 20, 2021, the world changed for the men and women serving on the front lines for the United States Customs and Border Protection. With the stroke of President Joe Biden’s pen, our border agents watched helplessly as most of the tools needed to secure our border were taken from them, including stopping critical border wall construction, canceling the asylum agreement with Mexico, and reinstating the ridiculous “catch and release” policy. After speaking with several CBP agents, I learned that their hands are tied — and it’s being done intentionally.
