House Republicans Head to Southern Border to Hear from Frontline Agents | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Speaker Mike Johnson and a group of 60 House Republicans cut their holiday recess short and made a trek to the Southern border. Last month, border officials encountered over 360,000 migrants, setting a record that dates back to 2000. But Biden officials continue to say border crossings have significantly dropped in recent days. Backlash and criticism about the border crisis continue to come from state and local officials, including from Democrat lead cities, like the mayors of New York and Chicago, who say they simply can't handle the flow. House Republicans are starting their 2 day border trip, hearing from agents on the front lines along the Southern border near Eagle Pass, Texas. They say their ultimate goal is to find legislative solutions to tackle this crisis. The House Republicans are also forging ahead with their impeachment proceedings against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the border crisis. The proceedings will begin January 10th.
