In her letter, Senator Fischer said the closure would hurt agriculture producers across the United States, and demanded the administration enact policies to curb the record levels of migration at the U.S. southern border. “The border crisis is not new. Since President Biden took office, CBP personnel have encountered over 6.6 million migrants – not counting additional millions of got-aways… Your office had an opportunity to implement policies that would stem the flow of illegal migration to prevent these suspensions from reoccurring. Instead, you failed to act and placed a heavier burden on American businesses and industries,” wrote Senator Fischer. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:56:20Z |
