Rep. Pat Fallon, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 4th district, has been vocal on social media regarding his concerns about border security under the Biden-Harris administration. His recent tweets address various issues related to immigration and border control.

On November 27, 2024, Rep. Fallon tweeted about the apprehension of Chinese nationals at the U.S. southern border, stating that "In Oct. of FY25 alone, 1,288 Chinese nationals were apprehended at the border." He criticized the current administration for allowing such incidents and expressed confidence that "Under President Trump, this WILL secure our border and bring this crisis to an end."

Later that day, Fallon highlighted statistics from Texas in a tweet posted at 17:01 UTC. He stated that "In recent years, in Texas alone, there have been: - 299,000 illegal aliens arrested - charged with 513,000 crimes - resulting in 187,000 convictions." He attributed these figures to lax border policies and emphasized that "Under President Trump, we WILL secure our border again."

In another tweet posted on November 27 at 20:01 UTC, Fallon addressed the issue of fentanyl smuggling across the U.S.-Mexico border. He mentioned that "Border Patrol has seized over 9,250lbs of fentanyl since FY21—an alarming increase compared to 1,604lbs from FY17 to FY20." Rep. Fallon argued that "The Biden-Harris admin's weak border security is putting Americans at risk," calling for urgent action to curb cartel activities.
