Congressman Morgan Luttrell Addresses Border Crisis and DHS Secretary Mayorkas’ Dereliction of Duty

WASHINGTON – Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) led 10 of his House Republican colleagues in writing a letter to US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas addressing the ongoing crisis at the southern border.
 
The Members said in part, “Our cities are overburdened, flooded with illegal drugs, and inundated with crime. We are deeply concerned you care more about furthering the Biden Administration’s liberal agenda than the safety and security of the people of the United States and our border. The Department of Homeland Security states the purpose of the Secretary is to ‘secure and manage our borders.’ You have failed to do this job.”
 
“Texas is facing the worst border crisis we’ve ever seen, as our border is being flooded with chaos, crime, and drugs that are overburdening our state and border patrol agents,” said Congressman Morgan Luttrell. “Secretary Mayorkas has refused to take the border crisis seriously, and the irresponsible and dangerous border policies of this Administration have undoubtedly left the United States vulnerable. We will hold this Administration accountable and restore our national security.”
