Rep. Barry Moore has joined other leaders to support Rep. Lauren Boebert’s bill to censure President Joe Biden over the border crisis. According to a press release, Moore joined Boebert and other leaders in a press conference to address the resolution.
Moore has visited the southern border twice this year. President Biden has not visited the border yet. Some statistics Moore emphasized in his release include:
- Under President Trump, there were 1,400 children in HHS custody at the border. At one point in June, there were 22,000.
- Over 1 million illegal aliens have been encountered by CBP since Biden took office, including a record-breaking 180,000 illegal aliens in May.
- Since Biden took office, CBP arrested 1,413 alien drug smugglers—up from 386 last year.
- Since Biden took office, CBP arrested 40 alien murderers—up from 3 last year.
- Since Biden took office, CBP arrested 353 alien sex offenders—up from 156 last year.
- Since Biden took office, CBP arrested 1,118 aliens for DUIs—up from 364 last year.
- In just the first four months of Biden’s term, enough fentanyl to kill every American four times over has been interdicted by Border Patrol.
Moore stated, “Ensuring the integrity of our borders is one of the most fundamental duties of a president, yet President Biden has destroyed four years of progress at the border to satisfy far-left activists and cheap labor-loving globalists. His reckless determination to reverse every Trump administration policy regardless of the outcome has put every American family and our economy at risk. We must hold President Biden to account for putting politics over the people he has sworn an oath to protect.”
Moore stated on Twitter, “President Biden’s dereliction of duty at our southern border is completely unacceptable. Proud to join @RepBoebert in holding Biden accountable for putting politics over the people he has sworn an oath to protect.”
