.repmayraflores takes aim at border crisis in first bill: 'Self-inflicted chaos'

Rep. Mayra Flores, who delivered the first upset to Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections after winning a special election in a border district in June, joined an Ohio Republican and two Democrats Tuesday to debut a proposal that would help law enforcement more efficiently respond to cross-border criminal activity, the Washington Examiner has learned. The Rio Grande Valley congresswoman is married to a Border Patrol agent.

“I came to Congress promising to solve problems confronting our district, and this is exactly what my first bill delivers,” Flores said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “It is evident, from what we are witnessing at our southern border, that the only group benefiting from this self-inflicted chaos are criminals, drug and human traffickers, and the cartels. Our bill will put an end to this by bettering our law enforcement coordination and their ability to counter these dangerous groups.

“As a former prosecutor, I know how successful joint operations centers can be, especially when it comes to detecting drug and human trafficking, and have no doubt they will help us address the national security and humanitarian crisis that has exploded at our southern border,” Joyce said in a statement, referring to the record-high numbers of illegal immigrant encounters at the border on an annual and monthly basis.

The proposal comes 22 months after the Trump administration shuttered a 60-person federal task force on the border. The DHS Joint Task Force West was closed in late 2020, though the decision to close it down was a year in the making.
