LaLota Returns from Third Border Trip, Calls for the White House and Senate to Take Action

EAGLE PASS, TX - Today, New York First Congressional District Representative Nick LaLota (R-Suffolk County), a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, released the following statement after completing his third trip to the U.S.-Mexico border. LaLota joined House Speaker Mike Johnson and over 60 House Republicans on the trip, where they heard directly from local leaders, community members, and Law Enforcement and witnessed migrants illegally crossing the Rio Grande River.

“My third trip to the border revealed a crisis much worse than what is described by the Biden Administration or among most media. Every day local officials and Law Enforcement see record-breaking numbers of illegal crossings, families risking everything to come here, and cartels taking advantage of innocent civilians,” said LaLota. “The President must reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy, the Senate must pass the Secure the Border Act, and blue cities must end their sanctuary policies. The American people need their leaders to act.”
