Rep. Issa: Biden's Fake Border 'Crackdown' Will Only Make His Border Crisis Worse

June 5, 2024

Washington – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) issued the following statement:

"The entire country knows that on day one of his presidency, Joe Biden threw open the nation’s borders, ended policies that were working to restrict illegal crossings, turned America into a sanctuary nation, prevented Border Patrol professionals from doing their job, and repurposed them as Uber drivers for illegals.
 
"Biden’s allies call today’s proposal a “crackdown.” Left out of that spin is the fact that this new order only goes into effect after illegal border crossings reach 2,500 per day – almost one million per year. Some crackdown.
 
"The fact is it is too late for Biden. He purposefully broke our immigration system, made a mockery of our laws, penalized those who played by the rules, and let more than 10 million illegals into the country to stay. All of this, including the unprecedented number of victims of human trafficking and the deadliest drug crisis in America’s history, is Joe Biden’s fault – and Biden’s alone."
