Democrats in Congress are hiding from the public because of the crisis they created. 300 Americans are dying from fentanyl every single day—the equivalent of an airplane crash—and they can't even bother to show up for a hearing on border security.

More fentanyl has been seized at the border in Biden’s first 2 years than at any other time because of his Infrastructure Bill that has upgraded the CBP with millions of dollars. You voted against that bill Kev! Also, the number of illegals detained has increased as well.

Undocumented people. "Illegals" is a dehumanizing term used by racists.

#2). Another lie -"Democrats in Congress are hiding from the public because of the crisis they created." NOT TRUE-----@DNC did NOT create the Fentanyl crisis in the US. FACT: It is difficult to attribute responsibility for the illegal importation of fentanyl into the United States to any single individual or group. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that can be produced illicitly in laboratories around the world, and it can be smuggled into the United States through various means, including the mail, shipping containers, and overland routes. Much of the fentanyl that enters the United States is produced in China and smuggled into the country by criminal organizations, although the exact sources of fentanyl can be difficult to trace due to the nature of the illicit drug trade. The US government has taken a number of steps to try to combat the flow of fentanyl into the country, including increasing border security measures, working with international partners to target drug trafficking organizations, and increasing public awareness of the risks of fentanyl use. #TheGOPCartel

I think it's because they don't trust you. You are not an honest broker. The entire Democratic caucus suspects you of treason, hypocrisy, dogmatic trumpism and lying.

You are lying. The statement "300 Americans are dying from fentanyl every single day" is NOT accurate. While fentanyl-related deaths have been increasing in the United States in recent years, the exact number of deaths can vary and are NOT be as high as 300 per day. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 36,509 drug overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, which include fentanyl. This works out to an average of approximately 100 deaths per day, not all of which would necessarily be attributed to fentanyl. Don't you have some real work to do?

Mister Speaker, since Democrats won’t travel to the border, you should schedule all hearings and votes in McAllen. If they don’t show up they don’t get to vote.

@POTUS deployed 23,000 agents to the southern border. Record arrests and drug seizures. $25 billion in additional funding for border security in the budget. Democrats are actually busy getting something . No time to participate in performative theater for photo ops.
