WASHINGTON, D.C. –On May 11, U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (AZ-08) released the following statement on the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of the Secure the Border Act:
“I was proud to vote for House Republicans’ H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act. I represent a border state and have been to the southern border multiple times. We are unquestionably facing a historic border crisis, yet the Biden Administration has wrongly allowed Title 42 to expire without a plan to secure our southern border. This will be an unmitigated disaster, and it is just the latest in a long line of catastrophic border policies from this administration.
House Republicans have a solution. The Secure the Border Act is a critical piece of legislation to disincentivize illegal immigration, restart construction of the border wall, reverse the Biden Administration’s en masse parole policy, end catch and release, and reinstate President Trump’s successful Remain in Mexico policy. House Republicans have proven we are the party of secure borders, and I will continue to work to restore our nation’s border security and protect Arizona’s communities. It’s time for President Biden and congressional Democrats to take responsibility for this crisis and work with Republicans to secure the border.”
