Washington, D.C. – Joe Biden’s radical amnesty and open borders agenda is fueling a never-before-seen crisis at the Southern Border. In July alone, 210,000 illegal immigrants crossed the Southern Border. That’s the highest monthly total in over 20 years and enough people to populate the 10th largest city in the United States.
Joe Biden’s radical immigration policies incentivize illegal immigrants to cross the border. From halting border wall construction to releasing illegal immigrants into the country without a court date, Joe Biden’s radical policies are directly responsible for the record surge in illegal immigration. And Senate Democrats are once again complicit in the creation – and continuation – of Biden’s border crisis by voting against legislation today that would ensure funding for border security.
Statement from NRSC Spokesman Jonathan Turcotte: “Today, a majority of Senate Democrats voted against Senator Ron Johnson’s amendment to fund badly needed border security measures. At a time when illegal border crossings are at record highs, Senate Democrats like Mark Kelly, Raphael Warnock, Maggie Hassan, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Michael Bennet failed their most basic duty to secure the border and keep Americans safe. They might talk a big game about the importance of border security, but they vote with the radical amnesty and open borders activists that run today’s Democrat Party.”
