Feenstra Issues Statement on Worsening Border Crisis

HULL, IOWA — Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement after more than 12,600 illegal immigrants were apprehended at the southern border — the largest single-day number ever recorded in American history.

“I’ve been to the border and the crisis is far worse than President Biden cares to admit. Terrorists, drug traffickers, and illegal immigrants are pouring over our open border with no vetting whatsoever. That’s why House Republicans passed our Secure the Border Act to end the lawlessness and fully fund our border patrol agents. I’ve also personally introduced legislation — the Build the Wall and Fight Fentanyl Act and Sarah’s Law — to finish the border wall, keep deadly fentanyl out of our rural communities, and deport illegal immigrants who break our laws. We must secure our border to keep our families and communities safe.”
