Rep. Gonzales Blasts Biden Admin on Closing Commercial Border Bridge

Thus far, no official notice regarding Musk’s potential visit has been given. As migrants began crossing the Rio Grande into the United States, Representative Gonzales was asked about his latest visit to the border and what relief he might be able to bring to his constituents dealing with the worst migrant crisis on record in the small border town of Eagle Pass.

Gonzales told Breitbart Texas he plans to hold a bilateral meeting on Thursday in Mexico with officials from both sides of the border. On the agenda, Gonzales says is reiterating the negative impact to commerce and trade the migrant surge is having and seeking solutions to the issue. “Yesterday, I was in Washington DC and had breakfast with Secretary of State Anthony Blinken because this has a diplomatic piece to this, working with Mexico to get them to fulfill their agreements. If they are not, what are we going to do about that? It’s evident to me that there is a void there,” Gonzales says.

Gonzales intends to address the impact the crisis is having on the United States side not only as it relates to the thousands of migrants choosing to enter the United States illegally but as it relates to the current shut down of one of two international ports of entry in Eagle Pass. “If you’re in the trade business, nobody wants to see that bridge shut down, if you’re in the trade business, you don’t want that railway bridge shut down from a commerce standpoint,” he emphasized.  Having little confidence in the administration’s ability to handle the crisis impacting both sides of the border, Gonzales told Breitbart Texas he’s ready to try something different.
