Moran: President Biden & Secretary Mayorkas Have Failed to Protect our Southern Border | 2024-04-11 | 2024 | 2024-04 | Republican | Senate | KS | Jerry Moran | M000934 | www.moran.senate.gov | moran | https://www.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) spoke on the Senate Floor regarding the crisis at the southern border. “The historic failure at our southern border is not an accident,” said Sen. Moran. “Migrants making their way to the United States, often through the assistance of organized criminal organizations, know our laws and the current lack of enforcement of those laws. “This administration has created these conditions and has done little to dissuade migrants from making the dangerous journey to our border,” continued Sen. Moran. “Migrants know the administration has resisted detaining those who cross the border illegally; they know this administration has resisted hardening border infrastructure; and they know that the administration’s abuse of the parole system will increase their chances of remaining in the United States if they can get across the border.” “Secretary Mayorkas has an obligation to use the tools Congress has already provided to enforce legislation that has already passed,” said Sen. Moran. “Waiting for comprehensive reform is an excuse from the Secretary and President Biden to do nothing. Mayorkas’ inaction on the border and his leniency towards enforcing the law has resulted in what we see today. The number one priority of the federal government is to protect our national security, and the Biden administration has failed to protect our southern border.” Click HERE to Watch Sen.
