NumbersUSA statement on The Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023
PUBLISHED: Tue, APR 18th 2023 @ 6:15 am EDT
NumbersUSA strongly supports the efforts of the House Judiciary Committee and House Republican Leadership to end the border surge through the passage of the Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023. This bill fulfills the promises that Republicans made last year in their Commitment to America to take the steps necessary to secure the border.
If enacted, this bill would bring an end to the border crisis that has overwhelmed the Border Patrol—and American communities—for more than two years. The Biden Administration has not only failed to use the enforcement authority given to them by Congress to gain operational control of the border, but has abused its power by processing into the interior of the United States thousands of aliens without legitimate claims to enter or stay.
This failure by the Biden Administration has resulted in documented cases of child labor trafficking across the country and abuse of unaccompanied alien children in the United States and at the border. Human trafficking through our open border has led to the effective enslavement of aliens, as well as mass layoffs of Americans, both occurring alongside record cartel and corporate profits. The Biden Administration’s abdication of its enforcement duties has overwhelmed Federal and state resources, and allowed fentanyl to flow freely into our communities. The death toll from this flood of fentanyl continues to mount.
