Republican Senators have written a “strongly worded letter” in response to to the Biden regime’s policy of expanding ‘lawful pathways’ to encourage hundreds of thousands of migrants to cross the U.S.-Mexico border every month.
Senator John Cornyn was joined by Senators Marsha Blackburn, Katie Britt, Tommy Tuberville, Cynthia Lummis, Tedd Budd, Steve Daines, and Cindy Hyde-Smith to call Biden’s policy “an unserious attempt” to confront the crisis at the Southern Border. The letter reads:
“The Biden administration’s rule is an unserious attempt at resolving the border crisis and is full of loopholes that the cartels will easily exploit to continue moving unlawful migrants into the United States and overwhelm our Border Patrol… Rather than stop unlawful migration, President Biden is using this rule to funnel the migrants into unlawful parole programs, and this resolution would put an end to this shell game to hide an unprecedented level of illegal immigration.”
The pathetic reaction goes to the heart of President Trump’s comments this weekend, where he asserted that Republicans in Congress are too “high class” in their handling of Democrats and their destructive policies.
Biden’s border policy – formalized in the 2022 Los Angeles Declaration on Migration Protection – encourages “regular migration” by permitting up to 30,000 people each from Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Cuban, to enter the United States, but has since been expanded to include citizens of Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
The new law allows migrants who have been denied asylum elsewhere to claim asylum before even arriving in the United States and to be instantly released into the country upon arrival. Migrants are merely allocated a meeting with a border official around three to four years after they arrive and are free to travel and work across the United States in the meantime.
President Biden’s failed asylum policies have forced migrants to remain in US custody for as long as 30 days – far longer than is legally permitted.
