House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green says GOP efforts to secure the southern border and hold top officials accountable will continue despite the drama in the House.
The head of the House Homeland Security Committee says Republican efforts to secure the southern border are 'certainly not going to stop now' despite the ongoing chaos in the GOP caucus over the removal of Kevin McCarthy as speaker. Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., in a statement to Fox News Digital, noted the passage of the Secure the Border Act – known as H.R. 2 – earlier this year as well as the escalating crisis at the border.
The ouster of McCarthy has led to speculation that the chaos could hurt the Republican agenda in the chamber as lawmakers prepare to elect a new speaker. In the Senate, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., warned that the chaos makes it 'harder to talk about the failed Biden presidency and address our broken southern border.' Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., accused the Republicans who voted to remove McCarthy of hurting efforts to secure the southern border.
But the crisis only appears to be escalating in recent months. Customs and Border Protection sources told Fox News last week that there were more than 260,000 encounters in September, which would be the highest monthly total on record.
