House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., toured the Arizona-Mexico border with Rep. Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., and three other GOP lawmakers.
— Rep. Kevin McCarthy brought the fight over border security to Arizona on Thursday as part of his first visit to the U.S.-Mexico border since his election last month as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
“The sad part about what’s happening is, the country of Mexico does not know who’s leaving their country. America, we do not know who is entering the country,” McCarthy said. “But there is one entity who knows who is leaving Mexico and who is coming into America, the Sinaloa cartel, because nobody comes across this border without paying them.”
Several House committees, now chaired by Republicans, have launched congressional hearings over the situation along the U.S.-Mexico border. “House Republicans should spend less time on partisan publicity stunts and more time working on solutions,” Sams said. “Solutions are what President Biden is focused on, and his plan is working. House Republicans would be wise to join him to work together to strengthen our immigration system and fund border security.”McCarthy’s visit included four freshman Republican lawmakers: Rep. Juan Ciscomani of Arizona, whose district covers most of Cochise County, plus Reps.
