Soto put illegals before Americans, and Border Patrol’s paying the price

October 14, 2025

As out of touch Democrat Darren Soto’s government shutdown drags into another week, Border Patrol agents are working without pay as illegal crossings surge. Cartels aren’t taking time off; they’re taking advantage. Agents are exhausted, overworked, and unsupported, all while Soto refuses to fix the chaos he caused.

“Democrat Darren Soto voted to shut down the government and left Border Patrol on the front lines without pay. It’s disgraceful, dangerous, and exactly what you get from a party that puts illegals before Americans.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
