The Biden administration's border failures continue to haunt America even under President Trump's second term, as a shocking drone incident in El Paso has exposed just how dangerously unprepared our nation remains against aerial threats along the southern border.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) didn't mince words when he told Breitbart Texas that America is "way behind in counter drone defenses" following a federal airspace shutdown in his district Tuesday evening. The incident serves as a stark reminder that four years of Biden's open border policies have left our nation vulnerable in ways most Americans never imagined.

"We're way behind in counter drone defenses," Gonzales stated bluntly, acknowledging the massive security gap that threatens American lives every single day.

This isn't just about immigration anymore, patriots. We're talking about sophisticated aerial threats that could carry anything from surveillance equipment to deadly payloads directly into American airspace. While the Biden regime spent four years rolling out the welcome mat for illegal aliens, they completely ignored the growing threat of unmanned aircraft systems penetrating our borders.

Trump Administration Inherits Another Biden Mess

Rep. Gonzales is now working with the Trump administration to remedy this dangerous situation through proper funding and education - something that should have been prioritized years ago. But thanks to the previous administration's complete dereliction of duty, President Trump once again finds himself cleaning up disasters that put American lives at risk.

The fact that federal authorities had to shut down airspace over American territory because of drone activity near our border should terrify every red-blooded American. How many other vulnerabilities exist that we don't even know about yet?

This El Paso incident proves that securing our border isn't just about stopping illegal crossings - it's about defending American airspace from foreign threats that could strike anywhere, anytime. The question every American should be asking: What other security gaps did the Biden regime leave behind, and how many more close calls will it take before we have the defenses our nation desperately needs?

As a former military pilot, this drone gap is a national security nightmare waiting to happen. We have the technology to stop this - we just need the political will to deploy it along the entire southern border.

What kind of anti-drone tech should we be using? Seems like this should be a no-brainer to implement.

Finally someone is speaking up about this! I live near El Paso and we've been seeing suspicious drone activity for months. The border patrol is overwhelmed and our airspace is basically wide open.

Same here in Arizona. It's getting worse every month and nobody in Washington seems to care.

This is exactly why we need to secure our borders NOW. If cartels can fly drones across with impunity, what's stopping terrorists from doing the same thing?

Thank God for Texas representatives who actually fight for border security!
