On Forbes Newsroom, Rep. Laurel Lee (R-Fl.) discussed her recent visit to the southern border, alongside House Speaker and other congressional Republicans, which came amidst a number of migrant encounters.
“It has really been catastrophic [in] border towns,” Lee told Forbes. “This flow of migrants across our southern border has made really every city in America a border city.”
The surge of border crossers reached an historic high at more than 300,000 in December, according to CBS News.
Lee did not join many other Republicans in calling for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. However, the Florida Republican did say that she has “very grave concerns about Secretary Mayorkas and his performance.”
