Congressman Robert Aderholt's visit to the southern border was not his first, but it certainly reinforced the urgent need for effective solutions to deal with the large numbers of illegal immigrants currently occurring, he said. To tell.

“What has been happening at our border today and every day since President Biden took the oath of office three years ago is outrageous and must be stopped,” said Aderholt (R-Haleyville). . “As we were watching, people were illegally streaming across borders. And we have no way of knowing who these people are or what their intentions are. Border Patrol agents and our country are at breaking point. And the Biden administration doesn't seem to care.”

The congressman said the Biden administration has been hostile to officials trying to address the issue.

“The evidence is undeniable. On his first day in office, President Biden reversed Trump policies that were working, including building the border wall,” Aderholt said. “And his administration has attacked anyone who proposes or attempts to solve this disaster, whether it's members of Congress or state and local officials.”

Aderholt said a surefire way to address the crisis includes reinstating the Trump administration's immigration policies.

“This is devastating, but President Biden and Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas now have the authority to begin the process of righting this wrong. They should immediately reinstate President Trump's Remain in Mexico policy. . President Biden should complete the border wall before his presidential term ends early next year. ”

Aderholt said he has no illusions about the Biden administration's expected response to the issue.

“But I have no confidence that President Biden or his administration will act.” “It's up to House Republicans to use the tools of government at their disposal, but it's also up to voters in November to stop this invasion of our nation's sovereignty and security.”
