“Absolutely Unsustainable”: Homeland Security Republicans Hear From National Border Patrol Council Leadership, Northern Border Security Caucus Members and More on a Growing Crisis

Today, the House Committee on Homeland Security’s Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability, led by Chairman Dan Bishop (R-NC), held a hearing to examine the worsening crisis at our Northern border, in which they heard testimony from Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY), Pete Stauber (R-MN), President of the National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd, Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Safety Robert Quinn, the Honorable Andrew R. Arthur, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, and the Executive Director of the Future Borders Coalition Laura Dawson.

As one sector of our Northern border experiences an over 800 percent rise in illegal alien encounters compared to last fiscal year, today’s testimony detailed the devastating toll the diversion of necessary resources to the Southwest border crisis has had on the security of the U.S.-Canada border, the surrounding communities, and Northern Border Patrol agents. These agents and communities continue to pay the cost of the Biden administration’s reckless open border policies and refusal to enforce our nation’s laws.
