This week, House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner (R-OH) criticized President Biden for the recent rise in illegal immigration along the southern border of the United States. Turner said that Biden is “encouraging” this to happen by giving illegal immigrants incentives and sending the message that the border remains open.
Turner said these statements in an interview with Martha Raddatz on ABC News’ “This Week.”
“Well, the Biden administration has been positive, and the way they’ve helped migrants doesn’t really send the message that our borders need to be closed. Have instead pushed for an open border strategy,” Turner said. “You know, this is a threat to political and economic safety. In terms of national security, people on the terrorist watch list have been caught. There is no doubt that fentanyl and other drugs are crossing the border. And when it comes to economic security, the mayor of New York has said it’s hurting his city.”
“So, the Republicans introduced House Bill 2, a bill to protect the border. This bill would not only build physical walls on the border but also change the way we handle refugee cases. At the same time, put additional border agents in place,” Turner said. “And to put that into perspective, the Biden administration only ten days ago gave temporary protective status for 200,000 Venezuelans, which means they can’t be deported and are able to work.”
Turner stated that individuals would be less likely to cross the southern border if Biden closed the border and “stopped encouraging, providing folks incentives to come.”
“They would not be here if we had the proper rules. By giving them these things—the open help, what you are seeing is an invitation for more people to come,” he said. “Therefore, House Bill 2 makes sure that we secure the border and shut it down for migrant immigration. It also changes our refugee rules to give us the legal power to send people back to their home countries.”
Turner stated that the fact that 1.9 million individuals have crossed the border in the past year showed that it was wide open.
“That is more people than live in eastern Ohio, in cities like Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton put together,” he said. “These numbers say everything they need to say. They definitely show that the practices of the government are making people want to cross the border. This must end.”
First thing first! Republicans House need to force Biden to take a COGNITIVE TEST IN PUBLIC! Second block every bills he want to sign into laws , IF HE REFUSED AND DEMOCRAT REFUSED TO! We the Americans people have the right to know if our president is in his right state. Third build the WALLS! Money was voted on by CONGRESS under TRUMP! So wall should been built! Biden has no, right to take money away from something that was already approved by CONGRESS!
I’m not sure who want to lead the GOP! But I’m sure it NOT MCCONNELL OR MCCARTHY! Neither one of these two got America best interest in mine! Both are RINO! Cave every time to democrat want! But not what THE PEOPLE WANT!
McCarthy is just gullible and stupid enough to trust the democrats. McConnell is crooked and is in business with China and his Chinese National wife Elaine Chao. He has sold out the country and both he and his wife should be put on trial for treason and sedition.
Biden & his minions are trying to destroy this country, in every way possible. WAKE UP AMERICA!! Under Trump this country was safe & prospering; but when Biden & his henchmen cheated their way into the presidency; Biden imediately set about undoing all of Trump’s good work. Do some research, & stop listening to the lamestream media & their allies in social media, which are, & have, been lying to the american people for years. The proof is out there, & all you have to do is look. How are your safety & finances now, compared to when Trump was president. How does earnings & inflation now, compare to when Trump was president. If you don’t like Trumps personality, so what, he did a much better job than Biden. He also took a cognitive assesment test, & passed with flying colors. Biden still has not taken one !!
