Senator Barrasso Travels to Southern Border
U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) recently traveled to Texas with six other Republican senators to assess the growing crisis at the southern border. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
The senators met with border patrol agents, went on a midnight patrol, met with local landowners on the border, and participated in a helicopter tour over the Rio Grande Valley. Barrasso, during a media conference at the border, said senators made it a priority to thank the Border Patrol agents.
Barrasso also talked about the uptick in the U.S. death rate relating to fentanyl and illegal narcotics as a result of these drugs coming into the country from the border.
Barrasso also called on President Biden to visit the southern border in person and work with Border Patrol to give them the resources they need to secure the border.

I dont expect anything to happen from “talk is cheap, do nothing” john regarding the open southern border, or anything else that might upset his rightful place at the trough. Please retire.

If a thousand people a day cross the border a day that’s 1/10th of 1% of our population per year. Crisis -I think not. And don’t play the drug smugglers card- the illegal drug trade does not depend on the pitiful few pounds that an immigrant can carry across the border. This is big business, the drugs are coming in by the tons in trucks and planes and ships. If the border patrol would focus on securing our ports and airfields and, yes,roads and less effort on chasing people whose primary crime is wanting to take the jobs that we can’t fill. But then again, whose income might that effect? Trafficking people is a separate issue, but one that I doubt you care much about.

Classic “hey! Look over here!” Usually works good for distracting from Barrasso’s and the Repub’s dereliction of duty to protect this democracy and constitution from enemies without and within. Anything to stay in power and ride the gravy train of money and status. Hollow man (and party) with no integrity, no honor.
