In a fiery rebuke, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) slammed Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s recent jaunt to Mexico, dismissing it as nothing more than a lip service parade that ignores the festering sore that is the southern border crisis. The congresswoman did not hold back when she described how folks from all walks of life in her district were boiling over with concerns about the border. She made it crystal clear that the border woe is a colossal headache for the Biden administration. Mace minced no words when she bemoaned, “We’re seeing independents, Republicans, and Democrats getting very angry about what they’re seeing at the border, and on some days, we have more people crossing the southern border in one day than we do all year from our northern border.”

She spared no punches as she called the border kerfuffle a “massive, massive problem” that Team Biden seems determined to sweep under the rug. Blinken’s hobnobbing in Mexico, along with other U.S. honchos, apparently left a bitter taste in Mace’s mouth. The lawmaker sounded the alarm, warning that when Congress convenes again, addressing border security better be at the tippity top of the agenda. She didn’t mince words when she issue a stern warning to her Republican colleagues, “Republicans had better in both chambers, the Senate and the House, make sure we have our own border security as priority No. 1 before we start doling out any other dollars to any other country.”
She pulled no punches when she decried the grim consequence of the Biden administration’s border policies, likening every town in America to a border town, teeming with drug overdoses and human trafficking. Mace made it unequivocally clear that she’s not interested in empty promises of “20 more miles of wall,” but rather, a firm shutdown of the southern border. With fervor in her voice, she demanded that laws be upheld and that border control becomes the alpha priority when the congressional session recommences in January.
She subtly hinted at the sluggishness in the Senate to strike a deal on border security, warning that frivolous talks about aid to foreign countries had better not take precedence over sealing the southern border. In her eyes, our nation’s safety comes first, before handing out goodies to other lands. Mace certainly didn’t hold back, unleashing a fervent outcry for the government to get its act together and finally give the border the attention it direly needs.
