This morning, I met with @SpeakerJohnson at the Governor’s Mansion in Austin.
We discussed the disastrous impact President Biden’s border crisis has had on Texas—and America—and the need for action by the federal government to secure the border.

Over 40,600 to NYC
Over 33,300 to Chicago
Over 3,400 to Philadelphia
Over 17,300 to Denver
Over 1,500 to LA
