Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz (TX-15) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem congratulating her on her confirmation. In the letter, De La Cruz invited Secretary Noem to visit her border community and hear directly from families, farmers, and Border Patrol Agents in South Texas.

In the letter, De La Cruz writes:

"Congratulations on your swift confirmation. After four years of open borders and weak federal immigration enforcement, it is encouraging to finally have a Secretary of Homeland Security who is serious about putting the safety and security of Americans first."

"I represent a district right on the Texas border with Mexico. With your confirmation, many of my constituents are now breathing a sigh of relief. These communities have been terrorized over the past four years by a constant flow of drug smuggling and human trafficking.

"On behalf of the 15th congressional district of Texas, I would like to extend an invitation to South Texas where you can hear from the families, farmers, and Border Patrol agents victimized by President Biden's open-border policies.

"I look forward to working with you to keep South Texas and the nation safe."
