“My border district is in a state of crisis. Over the past two weeks, tens of thousands of migrants have arrived illegally with no end in sight. This is a national security and humanitarian disaster, and the need for action is no different than when a hurricane strikes. Yet, Washington’s response has been to point fingers, stall on solutions, and grind our government to a halt. 

“Today, I spent the day in Eagle Pass, discussing a real path forward out of this crisis with Border Patrol Agents, local officials, and one of the most vocal advocates for fixing this problem—Elon Musk. Elon has brought more attention to the southern border than our own President, and I am confident that his coverage will shed light on this issue for all Americans to see. Border communities are tired of the broken promises and empty rhetoric coming out of Washington. The time to act is now,” said Congressman Tony Gonzales.
