Moolenaar: Biden Border Action Won’t Stop the Crisis

June 4, 2024

Today, President Joe Biden unveiled new policies via executive order intended to limit illegal immigration at the southern border.

“For months, President Biden claimed he did not have the executive authority to secure the border and end the crisis he created. Because of his failure, over 8 million people from around the world have illegally entered the country. His actions today will not stop the devastating border crisis he created. President Biden should reverse his failed executive actions, reinstate Remain in Mexico, build the border wall, and enforce the law,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

In his first 100 days in office, President Biden issued 64 executive orders on the border, reversing policies from the Trump administration. Since then, over 8 million people have illegally crossed the southern border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.

Previously, Biden had denied he had the executive authority to end the crisis at the southern border.
