U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, today joined Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), John Thune (R-S.D.), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) in sending a letter urging President Biden to reassess and reverse his executive actions on immigration, which have led to increased illegal border crossings by unvetted and unvaccinated aliens in the middle of a pandemic.
In the letter, the senators wrote:
“As we write this letter, main streets across America are shuttered, millions of parents can’t go to work, and children are kept from school. In a nation where everything seems closed, our border is now open. In violation of the law and common sense, your administration is allowing large numbers of unvetted and likely unvaccinated illegal aliens to enter our nation.”
“We urge you to quickly reassess and rescind your administration’s reckless immigration actions and focus instead on protecting the American people. Open our economy and our schools, not our border.”
The Biden administration is enforcing pandemic-related restrictions on air travel into the United States and is reportedly even considering requiring testing for American citizens before boarding domestic flights.
Yet the southern border is giving illegal aliens a free pass to enter the United States without testing.
“There is no legitimate justification for your administration being more restrictive with American citizens traveling within our country than illegal aliens who are rushing across our borders,” said the Senators in the letter to Biden.
