Cornyn Champions Texas’ Request for Border Security Reimbursement

Published | Video Starts at 00:51

Securing the nation's borders is the responsibility of the federal government, plain and simple. Given the division of responsibilities between the states and the federal government, there's no doubt but that this is a federal responsibility. For four years, though, President Biden and Vice President Harris and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas intentionally and willfully refused to enforce the laws on the books to keep the border secure and to keep our nation safe. Even before his first day in the office, President Biden rolled out the welcome mat to illegal immigrants in speeches during his campaign. Inviting, inviting what ensued. (00:51–01:11)
