Condemning Biden’s Open Border Policies and Safety Crisis

Under the Biden Administration, the crisis at our southern border has continued to grow worse and worse, consistently breaking their own records when it comes to failing to secure the border. 

Last December saw the most illegal immigrants processed by Border Patrol entering the U.S. in a month. Fiscal Year 2023 surpassed Fiscal Year 2022 as the worst year at the border with the most migrant encounters on record, 169 individuals on the terrorist watchlist apprehended attempting to illegally cross the border, and 27,023 pounds of fentanyl seized by the CPB.

Since Biden took office, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) have reported 6.2 million encounters at the southern border, in addition to 1.7 million known gotaways — and they aren’t just coming from Latin America: Migrants from over 230 countries were arrested in the past year. 

Despite the undeniable crises at the border hurting hardworking Americans and communities across the country, such as by forcing school children in New York to learn remotely while their schools are used to house illegal immigrants, Democrats refuse to reverse their failing policies and defend our nation’s borders. 

Rep. Nathaniel Moran’s legislation, H. Res. 957, condemns the Biden Administration’s open border policies, disregard of national security, and public safety crisis along our southern border, and urges President Biden to reverse course. 

House Republicans have been fighting to close Biden’s open border for three years, and we won’t stop until our borders are secure and our communities safe.
