Gaetz visits Texas to witness 'intentional destruction' of the border, calls for shutdown

EAGLE PASS, Texas – Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., emphasized the urgency and need to combat the President Joe Biden’s administration’s southern border policy during a visit to Texas on Wednesday.

“I’m currently in Eagle Pass, TX witnessing the intentional destruction of our Southern Border by the Biden administration,” Gaetz said on social media.

The Florida congressman described a video he was sent by a Texas official, depicting border patrol agents cutting away fencing to allow for illegal migrants to cross into the United States.

“Under the corrupt orders of @SecMayorkas and Joe Biden, we will never see our border protected. But if this border is not shut down, then we must shut down the government,” he said.
