EAGLE PASS, Texas – U.S. Congressman Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06) today joined House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-04) and more than 60 of his House Republican colleagues in a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas. The delegation met with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), attended a briefing with Texas Department of Public Safety, and joined a roundtable with local ranchers, business owners and other stakeholders from the area. The group finished the day with a press conference in Shelby Park, which sits adjacent to the Eagle Pass International Bridge.

"I believe in the American Dream that I’m living. But this [border crisis] is not it,” said Ciscomani at the press conference. “With this crisis that Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas created, nobody wins – except the cartels. They are the ones deciding who gets across and who doesn’t. They are the ones who are trafficking people and drugs. They are the ones terrorizing their own citizens, with no regard for human life. The men and women we met with today, those fighting on the frontlines for our safety, are doing so with little to no support from this administration. They are trying to enforce policies that are at best outdated or at worst, designed to fail.”
Congressman Ciscomani’s visit to Eagle Pass comes as the Tucson Sector leads the nation in migrant encounters. December alone saw over 302,000 migrant encounters, with more than 80,000 encounters in Tucson.
