April 1, 2021 Tweet - "Heard many stories of kids in dangerous situations b/c this admin made them a loophole to game the system: 5-year-old kids traveling alone, 2-year-olds w/ strangers -- CBP officers see it every day.

April 1, 2021 Tweet - "Powerful footage exposing how smugglers/cartels are brazenly exploiting Biden's policies to traffic vulnerable women & children into our country at a profit of over $14 million/ day (special character).
