Representative Tony Gonzales' congressional district accounts for nearly half of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Not present for the visit was Representative Tony Gonzales, a GOP lawmaker who was keen to take part in the trip. Elected in 2020, Gonzales represents Texas' 23rd Congressional District, which encompasses nearly half of the southern U.S. border with Mexico, stretching from the outskirts of El Paso to the outskirts of San Antonio.
I represent nearly 50% of the southern border. This past weekend, the White House told me I was not able to participate in Biden’s border visit. This is unacceptable. National security should not be about politics, it should be about keeping Americans safe.
