Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) has introduced legislation condemning the Biden administration's handling of border policies, citing a failure to enforce immigration laws and secure the borders. In a statement, Gonzales expressed frustration with the current state of affairs, saying, "Americans are fed up with President Biden's broken immigration policies."

The resolution put forth by Congressman Gonzales highlights several key points of contention with the Biden administration's approach to immigration. It accuses the administration of systematically dismantling border security measures, incentivizing illegal immigration, and failing to deport individuals who do not qualify for asylum. Additionally, the resolution criticizes the administration for engaging in mass catch-and-release policies and abusing the asylum process.

Gonzales emphasized the importance of holding the Biden administration accountable for its actions, stating, "My resolution takes this administration to task for its failure to protect our homeland and keep Americans safe." He urged his colleagues to support the legislation, calling for a unified stance against what he perceives as detrimental immigration policies.

The Congressman represents Texas' 23rd Congressional District, which encompasses 823 miles of the Texas-Mexico border, including cities like Eagle Pass, Del Rio, and El Paso. Given his proximity to the border and firsthand experience with the effects of immigration policies, Gonzales is advocating for a shift in approach to address national security threats and protect American communities.
