On Monday evening, America First candidate for Texas' 26th Congressional District Brandon Gill joined Rob Schmitt on Newsmax to discuss President Biden's open border agenda that has led to record-breaking numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the Rio Grande into the Lone Star State.
"Texans can see firsthand what is happening right in our backyard. I think that there is a widespread recognition that this border crisis isn't just a crisis that has happened because Biden has failed in what he is trying to do. This is a deliberate policy choice from the Biden administration," Gill explained. "We had a sealed-border under President Trump, we were building a border wall, we were keeping asylum seekers in Mexico, and as soon as Biden got to the White House, he changed all of that. He changed President Trump's very successful policies, and that is because that's what he is doing by choice. The Democrat Party thrives on chaos and lawlessness, and listen, they know, or they're making a bet at least that they can import a large number of voters into our country who are going to vote for them... We will see if that's correct, but I'm not so sure that's going to be the case."
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Border Patrol agents encountered a record-breaking 12,000 migrants earlier this month along the southern border in one day, with 10,200 of those migrants being encountered by agents at ports of entry to be processed. The 2023 fiscal year has also kept with the record-breaking pace, with 2.4 million illegal migrants coming across the border under Biden's watch. The monthly encounter record was also broken recently, with September seeing 260,000 migrants cross from Mexico.
Gill's diagnosis of the problem at the southern border is correct, and his America First policy preferences have garnered him significant support. President Trump endorsed Gill after the young family man announced his bid last month to replace retiring Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX). Upon his announcement, Gill also earned the endorsement of other prominent conservatives like Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), and the Dallas Young Republicans.
"It is my great honor to ENDORSE Brandon Gill for U.S. Congress in Texas-26. He is the clear 'America First' candidate, and is as loyal and tough as they come. He's a Cowboy, Businessman, Husband and Father, but also, a True Patriot," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Brandon is Strong on SECURING OUR BORDER, STOPPING CRIME, FIGHTING INFLATION, & PROTECTING OUR SECOND AMENDMENT. He also comes with the love and respect of his father-in-law, a true warrior, Dinesh D'Souza. Brandon will not let you down. Onward to VICTORY!"
Congressman Nehls also endorsed the TX-26 candidate on the day of his announcement. "Brandon Gill is a friend & a man I trust to be a bold, fearless fighter & champion of conservative values," Nehls said. "I trust Brandon will fight to secure the border. I trust Brandon will put America First & help continue the MAGA movement in North Texas. I proudly endorse Brandon & urge all voters in the district to support him."
The Dallas Young Republicans, one of the most successful Republican clubs in the state of Texas, also endorsed Gill, writing, "Mr. Gill is a successful young father, husband, and Christian with deep blue-collar roots in rural Texas who exhibits TRUE America First values. As the situation across the country continues to become more dire under the failed policies of the Biden administration, we need a new generation of leaders to step up for the challenging road ahead. We believe that Mr. Gill has what it takes to advocate for Texans successfully in Congress. His positions on border security, energy security, law and order, and reform inside the Republican Party are a breath of fresh air - he is the true conservative choice in this election."
Gill joins a host of other candidates vying for the nomination, including Tony Gonzalez's former Chief of Staff, Luisa del Rosal, Southlake Mayor John Huffman, and several others. Gill, however, is the clear frontrunner in the race after getting multiple endorsements from across the country and a million-dollar pledge from the Right Texas PAC.
"Today I filed to run for US Congress from Texas' 26th Congressional District, to fill the seat currently held by [Michael Burgess] after he retires," Gill wrote on X/Twitter when he first announced on November 20. "We desperately need conservative warriors in Washington who represent real America, not the Swamp. I look forward to representing the great people of North Texas."
"Congressional Democrats and the Biden Administration have failed us. Our homeland is being invaded. Our borders are a free-for-all. Crime is soaring, and our economy is a wrecking ball aimed at the middle class. We're in dire need of a trailblazer, someone unafraid to take on the power players and entrenched interests, a fighter who embodies our values," Gill said in a press release. "Washington, take note: you're done pushing Texans around. Starting now, you're going to listen to us. I've been on the front lines in conservative media, and now I'm ready to take the battle straight to the Swamp. We need to finish the wall, secure the Southern border, balance our budget, unleash our energy industry, restore law and order, and kick weak Republicans who rubber stamp progressives' agenda out of Congress."
Gill, who resides in Flower Mound, Texas, is a native-born Texan who attended Dartmouth University and worked on Wall Street for several years before founding the DC Enquirer and returning to the Lone Star State. He has additionally collaborated on the new film 'Police State' directed by Dinesh D'Souza. Gill is married to conservative influencer Danielle D'Souza Gill and has a newborn daughter.
