Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) said during an interview this week that he has seen evidence of serious terrorist threats on the U.S. southern border. Gonzales‚ whose district covers more than 800 miles of the U.S. border with Mexico‚ told Margaret Hoover on “Firing Line” that while he cannot discuss the classified intelligence that he’s seen‚ it keeps him up late at night. “At the very beginning of this and throughout I always felt that maybe that was the nexus that could unite us‚” he said. “Because once again‚ when a terrorist action happens‚ it kills all Americans. They’re just trying to kill Americans‚ not Republicans or Democrats or any of these other things.” He said the solution to solving the crisis on the border is simple‚ people need to get to the point where they say‚ “enough is enough‚” and show the “political courage” to get something done. He said that the unprecedented surge in illegal immigration at the southern border was driven primarily by the Mexican drug cartels.

And the other piece of it‚ too‚ the Biden administration may be saying some of the right things‚ but they’re not doing some of the right things. And until they start doing some of the right things‚ this crisis is only going to continue to boil up.” WATCH:

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) ripped President Joe Biden during Democratic presidential event this week for the collapse of the U.S. Southern Border. Phillips‚ who is a longshot candidate‚ made the remarks during NewsNation’s Democratic Presidential Forum on Friday with other longshot candidates Cenk Uygur and Marianne Williamson. Phillips called Biden’s border crisis‚ which experts have said was directly caused by his policies‚ “an unmitigated‚ embarrassing‚ unforgivable disaster.” His remarks came within the context of explaining numerous issues where he disagrees with Biden. “The other area where I differ with him immensely is our southern border‚” said Phillips. “I’ve been there twice. It is an unmitigated‚ embarrassing‚ unforgivable disaster‚ and Democrats‚ as Cenk said earlier‚ have to wake up to the truth.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP He warned that Democrats risked a Republican winning the White House in 2024 because his party has taken little to no action to fix what is happening at the border‚ saying that Republican presidential candidates are “actually listening” to voters. “And I think it’s time that Democrats do‚ and I’m afraid that President Biden is at a stage where he has lost the ability to legitimately listen‚” he said. He also took a shot at Biden for refusing to participate in Democrat presidential events‚ saying that it was disrespectful to the voters and the country at large. WATCH:

Investigators said this week that a fire outside of Portland mayoral candidate and City Commissioner Rene Gonzalez’s home may have been intentionally set for political reasons.  Early Friday morning‚ a car belonging to a family member of Gonzalez was found on fire outside of his home. After the fire was put out‚ police said it may have been arson. Gonzalez is a Democrat who ran for public office on a platform of cracking down on homelessness and increasing police funding. “Acts of political violence and acts of political vandalism are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Commissioner Gonzalez and everyone else in a public leadership role is here to serve this community because they love this community‚” Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said.  “Everybody is free to agree or disagree with me‚ the Commissioner‚ or any public servant or political candidate. But threats‚ vandalism‚ arson‚ violence‚ or any other form of illegal coercion will not be tolerated. If confirmed arson‚ we will find and prosecute those responsible for this act to the fullest extent of the law‚” Schmidt added.  Gonzalez thanked the fire department for their quick response after they called to report the fire.  “Thanks to the prompt response of Portland Fire &; Rescue‚ the fire was unable to spread to any neighboring homes or vehicles. My neighborhood is filled with both families and seniors‚ and we must do everything in our power to protect them. I am grateful that nobody was physically harmed as a result of this incident‚” he said.  Gonzalez‚ who is challenging several other city commissioners to replace far-Left Mayor Ted Wheeler in 2024 is considered the moderate in the race.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP During his campaign for commissioner in 2022‚ Gonzalez said that he wanted to hire hundreds of more police‚ increase arrests for shoplifting and trespassing‚ and get all of the homeless people off the streets and into a shelter. He was also attacked by fellow Democrats for his advocacy for schools to reopen during COVID. “If you’re doing crimes in the city of Portland‚ I don’t care if you’re unsheltered‚ I don’t care if you’re an addict or suffer [from] mental illness‚” he told Oregon Public Broadcasting in 2022‚ “You will start in the criminal justice system.” Portland has been plagued by homelessness‚ drug use‚ and crime in recent years at the same time many officials have pushed soft-on crime policies.  “I think Portland went so far Left that we see and feel that the future of our city’s at stake‚” he said. “I don’t think Portland can continue to be a functioning city if it continues on the path it’s going‚” Gonzalez said in 2022.
