Sen. Cornyn also discussed the Laken Riley Act, named after a young woman murdered by an undocumented immigrant.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn has been actively addressing the fentanyl crisis and border security issues in Texas. He has introduced legislation aimed at combating the influx of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid responsible for numerous overdose deaths. Cornyn's efforts include pushing for the FEND Off Fentanyl Act, which seeks to impose sanctions on international criminal organizations involved in fentanyl trafficking. Additionally, he has been vocal about the need for Texas to be reimbursed for the costs associated with border security, as the state has spent significant funds on these efforts. Cornyn has criticized the Biden administration for not adequately addressing these issues, emphasizing the need for federal support and a comprehensive strategy to tackle both the humanitarian and security aspects of the border situation. His initiatives also focus on enhancing law enforcement capabilities and improving coordination between federal, state, and local agencies to better manage the crisis.
