Rep. Meuser's Floor Speech on Southern Border

February 29, 2024

On day one, this President reversed many successful border policies implemented by the Trump Administration that kept our nation safe. Joe Biden ended Remain in Mexico, halted border wall construction, loosened asylum requirements, and issued a moratorium on deportations – essentially telling the world our border was and is wide open. And since that time, there have been more than 8.5 million illegal border crossings, as well as an estimated 1.7 million got-aways. So why did President Biden take these actions – ideological idiocy.
