House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is moving to find a solution to the border crisis that the Biden administration has caused…
As the border problem worsened, McCarthy knew that acting quickly was essential. He has lots of experience dealing with challenging political issues and is in an excellent position to fix this.
McCarthy is focused on ensuring the border is safe for Americans… and that people who come to the US looking for a better life are treated fairly and kindly. His dedication to solving this crisis shows how much he cares about serving people.
McCarthy Visits the Border
The House Speaker visited the border for the first time since winning. He was accompanied by four House Republican freshmen, including Arizona Rep. Juan Ciscomani. The group visited the Tucson region for:
- A briefing
- Aerial tour from U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Moreover, the group then held a press conference at a ranch in Arizona’s Cochise County. Here, McCarthy said that the Republican-led House would tackle improvements to border security.
Critics, including some immigration advocates and House Democrats, rebuked the plans. They argue the GOP border visits serve essentially as dog whistles to what they call MAGA Republican extremism. However, McCarthy’s trip showcases the next generation of lawmakers… who could take the lead on border security and immigration legislation, according to a senior Republican aide.
House Republicans have ramped up field hearings in the border region… since taking control of the lower chamber. Chairman Jim Jordan will lead a House Judiciary Committee field hearing in Yuma, Ariz, in a few weeks. This is more than 200 miles west of McCarthy’s visit. More field hearings in the border region are expected in the future.
Republican Leaders Want Biden to Be Impeached
Republicans believe impeaching Biden is the only way to address the border crisis. McCarthy argues that the Supreme Court and Congress cannot handle the influx of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border… leaving the states to deal with the issue. Moreover, impeachment proceedings may help bring more attention to the border problem.
McCarthy writes that the only way for Republicans to get Biden to take on the border crisis is to impeach him. The writer suggests that Democrats will be reluctant to allow such a move. However, he argues that impeachment proceedings will draw attention to the problem. McCarthy argues that border security is an issue that favors individual candidates and officials… who demonstrate seriousness about it, most of whom happen to be Republicans.
McCarthy concludes that Republicans have no choice but to use the only tool available to them to force Biden’s hand. He argues that Biden is not honoring his oath and that only he can solve the border crisis he has created.
Therefore, impeachment is the only option to address the issue. McCarthy writes, “There is no middle ground.” He suggests that Republicans must take bold action to address the border problem.
[…] Republican leaders in the House of Representatives have delayed a vote on a bill that would increase funding for border security and make changes to the immigration system… […]
