Nelson Balido on @FoxBusiness with @Varneyco – #Border negotiations should be met with equal interest and willingness to compromise. But most of all we need #Asylum reform NOW otherwise people will continue to take advantage of #loopholes!! CLICK HERE: youtu.be/TCboO_ju3nI – at Austin, TX

These times require people who believe a major change can affect the entire continent. We need more of these guys to put the country first instead of lining their own pockets, and ensure we are holding people accountable- not only the ones who operate, but, more importantly, the politicians who enable!

@usambmx @POTUS it's time we did this program along then entire border with Mexico, Coahuila has to be next!! @GobDeCoahuila @FGECoahuila – at San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León
As part of our strong security cooperation with Mexico, the United States donated 26 patrol trucks and 8 ATVs to Sonora’s Border Operations Division—the first state-level border patrol unit of its kind in Mexico. Under the leadership of @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and President @Claudiashein, 🇺🇸🇲🇽 we are working together to strengthen border security, combat fentanyl and illegal trafficking, and deliver results that make both our nations safer.

Team, we look forward to seeing everyone at the @border_security Expo & Industry Network event on May 5th and 6th in Phoenix, AZ. The lineup is outstanding and diversified in national security. There is no question that these are the types of events where you will walk away with key nuggets of what these leaders are thinking and where things are going. Hope to see you there! lnkd.in/ePZazhc

Its always a pleasure working with @RepCuellar on issues pertaining to cross border trade, travel and security for our shared border with Mexico. He sets the bar where others can only hope to measure up to. Thank you for all you do to protect our nation.
I welcomed Coahuila Attorney General Federico Fernández Montañez and his family, as well as Nelson Balido, chairman of the @BorderCouncil, to Washington, D.C., and had the opportunity to give them a behind-the-scenes look at the U.S. Capitol following votes. As a border community, we value strong relationships with our partners in Mexico. Engagement like this strengthens cooperation and supports shared economic and security priorities on both sides of the border. I look forward to continuing this work together.

We look forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones in the upcoming year. There is no doubt that this will be the best HSW to date, as each year continues to improve. For those eager to stay informed and prepare for 2026, this is an event you won't want to miss. Download the agenda and stay updated as we enhance it to ensure attendees receive exactly what they are looking for. I am excited to chair this event once again and to bring together the best and brightest in Homeland Security to discuss their programs. linkedin.com/posts/idga_hsw-…

With members from the Border Commerce and Security Council, another great and informative visit to the CBP Air and Marine Operations Center on March AFB, CA to discuss needs and requirements with officials commissioned to safeguard our air and marine environment. Through intuition and the latest algorithmic technologies, they track all the incoming international traffic and ultimately decide which deserves more attention than others by working with law enforcement partners throughout the United States. – at March Air Reserve Base, CA

This is a warning and example of what will happen if other countries do not take their citizens back. I have a feeling Colombia will be reassessing their stance in 24 hours. @CarlosLoret @CodigoMagentaMx @FoxNews @NEWSMAX @ElFinanciero_Mx @WhiteHouse amp.miamiherald.com/news/nat… – at San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León
