U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) today released this statement following reports of a shootout involving Texas Department of Public Safety agents along the Texas-Mexico border:

"Despite the repeated assurances of President Obama and Secretary Napolitano that our border is secure, today's brazen attack on law enforcement provides further evidence for what Texans already know.

"Cartel-related violence along our border is real and escalating, and the Administration cannot continue to deny it when American lives -- particularly those of our law enforcement -- are directly in harm's way."
