As in 2023, U.S. Sen. Katie Britt continues to call on Democrats in Washington to address the illegal immigration crisis in 2024. Britt accused President Joe Biden, Senate Democrats and the media of “ignoring the national security and humanitarian crisis.” Our borders” are increasing day by day.

Secretary Mayorkas is here to 1) pretend that catch-and-release is not a magnet for mass migration, and 2) not tell the truth about migration.

Britt (R-Montgomery) argued Wednesday that the president is misleading Americans on the issue by abusing the immigrant parole process.

“This is a serious issue,” Britt told X. “Parole does not prevent people from entering the United States who have no substantive legal basis for being in the United States. Administrators have abused parole to reroute some passengers to ports of entry and use intersection numbers to It's misleading. The crisis needs to end. It's not being swept under the rug.”

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas Admitted Earlier this week, it was announced that more than 85% of illegal immigrants caught at the border will eventually be released into the interior of the country.

Britt responded to the numbers by calling on the Biden administration to end the catch-and-release program.

“There is already a record of 6.8 million illegal border crossers in our country's interior who are not in custody, and approximately 20% have received a final order of removal,” she explained. “This document is growing rapidly as the Biden administration continues to use catch-and-release and does not prioritize domestic enforcement.”

Her comments came as a bipartisan group of senators is still deliberating. process They say they are trying to negotiate a deal that would finance aid to Ukraine and strengthen border security measures.

The House has already passed a border security bill, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has refused to take up the issue, and Britt and other Republicans have criticized his inaction. There is.

“Sen. Schumer has refused to bring a spending bill to the floor for months, preferring instead more partisan candidates,” Britt said. “As a result, another government shutdown deadline is approaching and legislation is completely stalled. The American people deserve better.”

Britt believes the border crisis is a direct result of the Biden administration's bad policies.

“American students' education is currently on hold because of the current administration's border crisis,” she said. “It's another consequence of the mass migration in our interior, and another reason why we must end catch-and-release and reinstate Remain in Mexico.”
