WASHINGTON – Senator Mike Braun released the following statement following the Supreme Court’s ruling that President Biden can end the Remain in Mexico policy, clearing the way for the White House to fully end the program which reduced the surge at the southern border.
Under Biden, the southern border has devolved into a humanitarian and national security crisis never seen before in our nation’s history, which continues to get worse. Just last month, Border Patrol reported 234,088 illegal crossings, more than quadruple the average monthly crossings from 2018 through 2020.
“President Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy worked to reduce the surge at the southern border, especially from countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. From day one, President Biden has tried to remove every tool we have to stop this chaos, hanging a ‘WELCOME’ sign on our southern border. The result is more illegal border crossings, more deadly fentanyl on our streets, and more horrible humanitarian tragedies like the 50 migrants who died being smuggled across the border in a semi. We need Remain in Mexico for a secure border.†– Senator Mike Braun
