Rep. Mark Harris: “Congress Must Act to Solidify Trump’s Border Wins.”

WASHINGTON, DC — On Wednesday, Representative Mark Harris (NC-8) penned an op-ed in Townhall calling on Congress to solidify President Trump’s border wins.

Some key quotes are below:

• “While a change in leadership has allowed our nation to correct course and restore security, Congress must act to make these victories permanent. The House and Senate must come together to provide the resources that this administration needs in order to clean up the border crisis.”

• “We must properly fund border enforcement and codify this administration's executive actions so that regardless of who is in the White House, our nation will remain secure. It is imperative that Congress act boldly and match the pace of this administration so that the American dream is able to live on.”

• “[Democrats] tried to sell the American people on a border ‘compromise’ bill out of the Senate that would have permanently enshrined in law the Biden Border Crisis at 5,000 entries a day. We were all told this was necessary to stop the invasion. That was also a lie, as the record-low border numbers under President Trump have borne out.

• “President Trump’s historic first month in office has made one thing abundantly clear: the border crisis was never about ‘needing a bill.’ The border chaos was always about the leadership — or rather lack thereof — inside the Oval Office and at DHS headquarters.”

• “President Trump’s decisive action and bold leadership has drastically changed the state of our border for the better. Our law enforcement is no longer functioning as a welcoming party at the border.”
