'Fox & Friends' host Lawrence Jones tours the Texas border with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and border czar Tom Homan to take a closer look at the migrant crisis.

It’s a new day in America. For four years, Americans watched as the Biden administration pointed the finger at everyone but themselves for the messes they created — including the worst border crisis in our nation’s history. While Biden administration officials tried to hide behind a smoke-and-mirrors illusion that our border was secure, reality told a different story.  

I serve Texas’ 23rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. From San Antonio to El Paso, our corner of the country spans 823 miles of the Texas-Mexico border. Eagle Pass, Del Rio and El Paso, all within my district, were among the border communities hit hardest by illegal immigration surges. 

During the first year of President Joe Biden’s tenure, I shook his hand, offering him an olive branch and the opportunity to find a way forward to not only safeguard our borders but to lay the foundation for an immigration system that is orderly, lawful and puts the best interests of the American people first.
