WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tyler Congressman Louie Gohmert is weighing in on border security following a recent shooting. That’s according to KETK. David and Tiffany Hartley were sightseeing on jetskis on the Mexican side of Falcon Lake when a group of pirates shot David in the back of the head. Tiffany tried to rescue her husband but could not. Saturday morning Gohmert appeared on “Fox and Friends,” where he said if the border were more secure, this wouldn’t have happened. “If we had people on this 16-mile lake who are out there to protect American citizens, then the bad guys know they gotta go somewhere else. You see that all the time in police action. If people know that you are going to defend your land, then they go somewhere else.”
Gohmert is the co-sponsor of a bill that calls for 10,000 more national guardsman along the Mexican border. “It would be really shocking except this is like the fifth reported incident this year, this is not anything new,” Gohmert said.
