On Tuesday, a coalition of organizations sent a letter to Congressional leaders with one message: the legislative text of the Senate’s long-anticipated immigration bill “confirms our worst suspicions: if enacted, the bill would codify the border crisis and severely limit any future enforcement-minded administration from securing the border.”
Among the signatories is the Border911.com team, a 501c3 with which Sara Carter belongs to. The Heritage Foundation, America First Policy Institute, Immigration Accountability Project and the Federation for American Immigration Reform are just a few of the dozens of groups that signed on to the letter.
“We now know why this text was released on a Sunday evening and is being rushed to the floor: the bill wouldn’t solve the crisis and has been falsely portrayed” the letter states. The bill “would not end ‘catch and release.’ Instead, it would replace current statutory mandatory detention with a mass release program of weaker discretionary ‘monitoring,’ intentionally undermining the capacity for removal, per DHS’s own enforcement report.”
“The Biden Administration inherited the most secure border in our lifetimes” the letter laments. “Many of us were involved in the direct operations to achieve that outcome. Through scores of executive actions and policy decisions, the Biden Administration has systematically opened the border and recruited, sustained, and exacerbated the crisis at every step.”
“If the Biden Administration were interested in anything but political messaging, they would immediately take steps to undo their own actions” the letter continues. “Our national security and sovereignty should be above politics. This legislative package turns a crisis of epic magnitude into a political talking point….This legislative package does not secure the border and it will severely curtail the ability of future administrations to do so” the letter concludes.
