COMER CONFIRMS! Oversight Committee Will Hold First Hearing on Biden's Broken Border

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.19.23

We now know what the Oversight Committee will tackle first.

According to a report from The Daily Caller, House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has confirmed that the first hearing the hold will be on the border crisis.

The hearing will take place on Feb. 6 —two months after a record-breaking 250,000 migrant encounters were logged in December.

From The Daily Caller:

President Joe Biden made his first visit to the border on Jan. 8, when he traveled to El Paso, Texas, after instituting a number of policies to better the parole and admission systems mainly for migrants that might otherwise be expelled under Title 42, a Trump-era public health expulsion order. The president has put much of the blame on Congressional Republicans to implement solutions to ultimately fix the immigration system that he labels “broken.”

But the GOP says the blame lies with Biden.

“President Biden’s radical open borders agenda has ignited the worst border crisis in American history. The Biden Administration’s deliberate actions are fueling human smuggling, stimulating drug cartel operations, enabling deadly drugs such as fentanyl to flow into American communities, and encouraging illegal immigrants to flout U.S. immigration laws,” the committee’s chairman, James Comer, said in a statement Thursday.

“Republicans will hold the Biden Administration accountable for this ongoing humanitarian, national security, and public health crisis that has turned every town into a border town,” Comer added.

Earlier this month, Texas Rep. Pat Fallon filed articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to secure America’s southern border; Mayorkas hasn’t responded.

Fox border correspondent Bill Melugin shared news of the hearing on Twitter:

“NEW: House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announces the committee will hold a hearing the week of February 6th to investigate the Biden admin’s handling of the border crisis. Several Border Patrol sector chiefs invited to testify, including Del Rio & RGV”
