You are welcoming them to the reality facing our border communities who do not get a break from illegal immigration.\n\n\u201cLiberals should be trying to fix the problem and securing the border, not complaining about where the migrants go.\n\n\u201cAccording to some on the left, sending illegal immigrants to Martha\u2019s Vineyard is inhumane. What\u2019s inhumane is the Biden immigration policy that entices people to make a dangerous journey to the United States. What makes no sense is to continue these open border policies where our country is flooded with drugs and illegal immigrants, including people on the terrorist watch list.\n\n\u201cMy message to President Biden: Go to the border. Visit border communities. Talk to the Border Patrol officials on the ground. It\u2019s past time you understand the chaos you have created.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:29:59Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=A3635053-6D21-4BA6-96F3-AD8FE21F5DFE"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7291471119970083, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
