In a recent interview with Maria Bartiromo on Mornings with Maria, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) expressed his frustration with the Biden Administration's approach to border security. Crane criticized the administration for prioritizing politics over the safety of American citizens.

Crane highlighted the lack of consensus among his colleagues regarding the importance of a wall or barrier as part of a comprehensive security system. He stated, "They'll sit there and say 'oh yeah, well, people can go over the wall or people can tunnel under the wall.' And that's true, Maria, but the fact of the matter is that real security has always been and will always be overlapping deterrence."

The congressman emphasized that effective security measures go beyond just a physical barrier. He explained, "It's not just a wall by itself--it's a wall, it's agents that are well trained, it's intelligence, and so many other things that work in coordination to keep Americans safe." Crane criticized the Biden Administration for what he perceived as a lack of commitment to the safety of Americans.

Switching gears, Crane discussed the importance of supporting Israel in the face of atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists. He referenced the Book of Genesis, stating, "As a Christian, I'm well aware of the Book of Genesis where God says 'I will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.'" Crane stressed the need to prioritize the safety of American citizens while continuing to support Israel.

Crane expressed disappointment in Congress and leaders who divert their attention away from domestic concerns. He emphasized the issues at the U.S.-Mexico border, such as the number of individuals on the terror watchlist encountered and the unknown identities and intentions of the 1.5 million individuals who evaded capture. Crane warned against underestimating the potential threat of lone wolves or terrorist cells entering through the porous border.

In conclusion, Rep. Eli Crane criticized the Biden Administration for prioritizing politics over the safety of Americans. He emphasized the importance of a comprehensive security system, including a physical barrier, well-trained agents, and intelligence. Crane also called for continued support for Israel while prioritizing the safety of American citizens.
