WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Tony Gonzales of Texas released a statement expressing his support for the impeachment resolution filed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Gonzales, who represents the largest border district in Congress, highlighted the ongoing border crisis and its devastating impact on American communities.

Gonzales began his statement by referencing a recent tragedy in his district, where two innocent Americans lost their lives in a car crash during a high-speed chase involving a human smuggler. He emphasized that this was not an isolated incident, stating, "This is not the first time in TX-23 that American bystanders have been casualties of this border crisis."

The Congressman further underscored the seriousness of the border situation and the need for immediate action. He expressed frustration with the Biden administration's refusal to address border security effectively, saying, "We're sick of the Biden administration's refusal to crack down on border security. We're tired of feeling unsafe in our communities." Gonzales also criticized the Washington establishment for exploiting the border issue for political gain, stating, "We're fed up with a Washington establishment that uses the border as a political tool."

Gonzales acknowledged his previous attempts to work with the Biden administration on finding solutions to the border crisis. However, he stated that he had lost faith in their ability to enforce the rule of law and protect the American homeland. In light of this, he declared his full support for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's impeachment resolution against the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The Congressman's statement concluded by emphasizing the urgency of the situation and the necessity for action, stating, "For that reason, I fully support Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's resolution." Gonzales' support for the impeachment resolution reflects his commitment to addressing the border crisis and ensuring the safety of American communities.

The ongoing border crisis continues to be a significant concern for lawmakers like Tony Gonzales and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Their efforts to hold the Biden administration accountable for border security remain at the forefront of their legislative actions.
