Today, Rep. Bergman announced legislation he supported and actions he has taken recently to address the crisis at our Nation’s southern border and issued the following statement:
“Without a doubt, President Biden has invited the ongoing crisis at the southern border. While our current immigration system is already broken and requires reform, this Administration – in both word and action – has allowed the situation to rapidly deteriorate. It’s imperative that the border wall construction underway be completed with funds we have authorized in Congress, and that all options remain on the table to secure our borders.”
In February, as illegal border crossings began to surge, Rep. Bergman joined his colleagues in urging President Biden to take swift action. Specifically, the letters called out President Biden’s politicization of the issue, from his expressed open border sentiments to executive actions halting new border infrastructure construction, hindering enforcement within the interior, and stopping deportations for 100 days. Additionally, Rep. Bergman raised concern about the impact of President Biden’s immigration polices on our Nation’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
