RNC STATEMENT ON AUGUST BORDER APPREHENSIONS
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement after it was reported that border officials stopped nearly 209,000 illegal immigrants at the southern border last month, the highest August number in 21 years:
“Biden’s open border policies created this historic crisis–with nearly 209,000 illegal migrants apprehended last month at the southern border, the highest number for August in 21 years. The numbers do not lie – with record after record broken, the Biden-Harris border crisis can no longer be spun as ‘seasonal.’ Securing our border should be a top priority for Biden and Harris – it’s critical to U.S. national security, ensuring safety in American communities, controlling the drug crisis, and so much more. It’s beyond comprehension that Biden and his border czar Kamala Harris continue to ignore this raging crisis and enact policies making it worse.”
