Sheriff Mark Dannels of Cochise County brought attention to the Biden Administration’s continuous inability to respond to urgent requests for solutions from sheriffs around the area at a Congressional hearing on the nation’s southern border.
Congressman Dannels made every attempt to speak with President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas directly in order to discuss urgent remedies for the continuing border situation, but he was unable to do so. The sobering fact is that, according to CBP statistics, there were 2.3 million migrant interactions in just this fiscal year alone, underscoring the problem’s enormous complexity and the urgent need for a tactical solution.

“We actually have on behalf of the National Sheriffs’ Association … Our National Sheriffs senior leadership has attempted through letters to reach out to President Biden, he’s been invited to our events with major county sheriffs, western sheriffs, southwest border and national. We have never gotten a response back from this president. In fact, I was told just a couple months ago he’s the first president not to meet with sheriffs in this country. He still has not to date to my knowledge,” In answer to Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana’s questions, Republican Dannels replied.
“We did meet with Secretary Mayorkas. We reached out. I assembled about a dozen sheriffs, we met in El Paso. We sat down with the secretary, gave him a 16-point action plan to share what we thought were common sense, humanitarian, public safety and national security objectives built within that. Never heard back, I asked the secretary where that plan was, what they were gonna do with it. He asked me, ‘what plan?’”
WATCH:
Both the White House and DHS failed to respond to requests for information.
“It’s an absolute dereliction of duty. It’s inexcusable,” Johnson rebutted Dannels’ assertions.
