Former Congressman Ted Poe called for Congress to act and secure America’s border this week, saying Joe Biden’s hand must be forced by Republicans nationwide.

“We’ve got all these hearings going on… I want to start with the border. Mayorkas insists that the border is secure,” began Joe Pags. “What’s going on?”

“That is nonsense. The border is worse than it’s ever been in American history. You’ve got everybody coming across the border,” explained Poe.

“The cartels completely control the northern portion of Mexico. They’re making a ton of money,” he added. “Now, trafficking persons is more lucrative than drugs. We are complicit because we allow this to occur.”
