More Republicans need to move on this issue.

I’m calling for an investigation into the role of NGOs in aiding illegal border crossings into Texas.

Our fellow Americans are literally dying because Biden refuses to do his job. The death toll from fentanyl alone is staggering.

On Wednesday, CBP officers at the Nogales POE took down approximately 211,200 fentanyl pills and 2.4 pounds of fentanyl powder concealed in the back seat of a vehicle. Approximately 60,000 of the fentanyl pills were of the “Rainbow” variety. pic.twitter.com/cIOXfss4TH

This is the kind of guy Newsom is. Naked ambition. Don’t think for a minute that he won’t demagogue this existential threat to the country.
