Chairman Jordan Statement on New Biden Border Measures
June 4, 2024
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) released the following statement on President Biden's new border measures:
“For three-and-a-half years, Americans have watched Joe Biden and his DHS Secretary allow millions of unvetted illegal aliens into our country and into our communities. In fact, he’s on track to allow nearly 12 million illegal aliens into the U.S. by the end of his term. The President’s poll numbers are in the tank—especially on immigration—and later this month he is scheduled to debate President Trump—the strongest border security President in the history of the United States. So, it’s no surprise that Joe Biden is trying to fool the American public into thinking he cares about the country’s borders.
"The executive order is unserious and will do nothing to secure America’s borders. In fact, it sanctions up to 2,499 illegal aliens per day—meaning nearly 1 million per year—crossing the border between ports of entry. That number does not even include all of the illegal aliens who are subject to the rule’s myriad exceptions. In addition, it continues the wholesale abuses of law that Joe Biden uses to let millions more illegal aliens in through our ports of entry.”
