My Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act will codify President Trump\u2019s proven border policies that reduced illegal immigration to record lows. The Biden Regime\u2019s intentional negligence has handed operational control of our borders to the cartels, resulting in an unprecedented surge in the trafficking of women and children as well as deadly fentanyl. We must close the border and end the invasion. The best way to do that is to build the wall and deport them all.\u201d\n\n\u201cWith open arms, Joe Biden has welcomed millions of illegal aliens into our country since taking office, including terrorists and violent criminals. Lives are being destroyed, families are devastated and communities across our nation are being crushed. These lawbreakers should be deported, and the border sealed. The Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act does just that,\u201d stated Congressman Paul Gosar (AZ-09).\n\nRep. Byron Donalds (FL-19) said, \u201cThe situation at our border is untenable and it worsens by the day as we continue to reach new record highs in nearly every tracked statistic. Problems necessitate action and it is time for the implementation of an evidence-based solution backed with years of successful data from the Trump administration. I stand with Rep. Boebert to ensure the safety and security of the American people.\u201d\n\n\u201cOur border was more secure than ever under President Trump, and it is more vulnerable than ever under President Biden,\u201d stated Congressman Barry Moore (AL-02). \u201cIf we do not return to Trump\u2019s successful policies, we may not have a country anymore. This legislation puts American families first by finishing Trump\u2019s wall, restoring his \u2018Remain in Mexico\u2019 policy, and expediting the removal of illegals from our country.\u201d\n\nRep. Mary Miller (IL-15) said, \u201cOn his first day in office, Biden signed Executive Order 13993, overturning every border security measure established during the Trump administration, paving the way for 10 million foreign nationals to enter our country illegally. The primary responsibility of our government is to keep Americans safe. Instead, Biden opened our borders to an invasion of military-aged men and put innocent American lives in danger. I\u2019m proud to stand with Congresswoman Boebert to codify Trump administration policies that would help secure our southern border.\u201d\n\n\u201cOn day one, Joe Biden used the power of the pen to undo the immigration policies of President Trump,\u201d stated Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC-03). \u201cI\u2019m proud to stand with Rep. Boebert to codify President Trump\u2019s border policies and fight back against the Biden Border Crisis invasion.\u201d\n\nRep. Andy Biggs (AZ-05) said, \u201cPresident Biden\u2019s anti-American, open borders agenda must be reversed. President Trump\u2019s immigration policies secured our border and instilled law and order. I commend Congresswoman Boebert for introducing legislation that codifies Trump-era policies amid the worst border crisis in American history.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nIn response to the worst border crisis in American history, Congresswoman Boebert introduced the Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act.\n\nSince Joe Biden has been in office, over 9 million illegal aliens have crossed the southern border and more than 6.2 million illegals have been caught and released into the interior of the United States and the Biden administration admitted that 40% have disappeared. Worse yet, a record-breaking influx of deadly fentanyl is coursing through our borders, claiming American lives daily. The sheer volume of fentanyl could kill every American 28 times over and has already killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.\n\nThe Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act will codify several policies from the Trump administration, including:\n\n\u2022 Ending \u201cCatch and Release\u201d\n\n\u2022 Building the Wall\n\n\u2022 Prohibiting funds for Sanctuary Cities\n\n\u2022 Restoring the \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d policy\n\n\u2022 Expediting the removal of illegal aliens\n\nThe bill also:\n\n\u2022 Prohibits the removal of State border barriers\n\n\u2022 Ends birthright citizenship\n\nCosponsors of Congresswoman Boebert\u2019s Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act include: Rep. Jim Banks (IN-04), Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Rep. Byron Donalds (FL-19), Rep. Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Rep. Bob Good (VA-05), Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ-09), Rep. Andy Harris (MD-01), Rep.
