Capito and colleagues introduce resolution denouncing Biden and border situation

Members of the U.S. Senate have introduced a resolution denouncing the Biden administration’s border policies. Since President Biden took office, there have been more than 9.2 million illegal border crossings, the senators said.

U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., a member of the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, recently joined a group of 13 senate colleagues, led by U.S. Senator Rick Scott, R-Fla), to introduce a resolution in the U.S. Senate denouncing the Biden administration’s open border policies.This resolution was led in the U.S. House of Representatives by U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz, R-Texas-15 and passed with bipartisan support.

“Our border crisis continues to be a national tragedy,” Capito said. “The situation requires urgent action from President Biden and a return to policies that deter mass illegal immigration and secure our nation’s border. President Biden has the authority and the tools available to address the crisis, and I urge him to act now or the long-term effects of the crisis will continue to be felt by Americans and West Virginians for years to come.”

“President Joe Biden and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas have created the worst border security crisis in the history of the United States; Whereas President Biden, beginning on day one of his administration, systematically dismantled effective border security measures and interior immigration enforcement; Whereas the Biden Administration’s open-borders policies have incentivized nearly 9,300,000 illegal aliens from all around the world, including criminal aliens and suspected terrorists, to arrive at the southwest border; Whereas the Biden Administration has allowed at least 6,300,000 illegal aliens from the southwest border to travel to communities within the United States,” according to the resolution
