Not enforcing our immigration laws is one of the many reasons that we are experiencing a historic border crisis. The Biden Administration has repeatedly sent the message that our borders are open and illegal aliens will not face consequences. All of this is unacceptable.\n\n\u201cSecretary Mayorkas and Attorney General must provide us with immediate answers regarding its usage of Title 8 and commit to returning law and order.\u201d\n\nThe full letter may be read here.\n\nCo-signers include: Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO), Rep. Mary E. Miller (R-IL), Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep.
