Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) has introduced the Defend Our Borders from Armed Invaders Act in the United States House of Representatives. The legislation aims to address the escalating violence and national security crisis at the United States-Mexico border by authorizing the National Guard to use necessary force to repel armed individuals attempting to cross the border illegally.
In a statement, Congressman Luttrell highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating, "Cartels and smugglers are thriving at our wide-open border. We're seeing violent crime continually escalate at the border and flow into our communities, as President Biden's policies have created an untenable national security crisis." He further emphasized that this legislation is a crucial step in curbing crime by providing the National Guard with the authority to prevent armed individuals from entering the United States through any means necessary.
The Defend Our Borders from Armed Invaders Act has garnered support from several representatives who have cosponsored the legislation. Among them are Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN), Chuck Edwards (R-NC), Brian Babin (R-TX), Michael Guest (R-MS), Mike Collins (R-GA), and Brandon Williams (R-NY).
This move by Congressman Luttrell comes at a time when concerns over border security and illegal crossings have been a focal point of national debate. The legislation seeks to empower the National Guard to take decisive action in protecting the country's borders from armed individuals who pose a threat to national security.
The introduction of this bill has sparked discussions on how best to address the ongoing challenges at the border and ensure the safety of both border communities and the nation as a whole. As the legislation moves forward, it is expected to generate further debate and scrutiny.
