Congressman McClintock: Judiciary Republicans release staff report demonstrating the Biden Administration is poised to return to radical policies that will incentivize rampant illegal immigration.
WASHINGTON — Today, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Congressman Tom McClintock (R-CA), Ranking Member of the 
House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship, released a staff report explaining how President Biden’s immigration proposals risk undoing the successes of the Trump Administration. The report warns that if the Biden Administration continues to pursue this radical agenda, it will result in less security at the border, reduced interior enforcement, and an increased risk from criminal and other aliens who want to do us harm.

Key arguments from the report:
Administration Amnesty – President Trump sought to reign in the out-of-control use of administrative amnesty in U.S. immigration policy. President Biden has reversed course and signaled his intention to return to the radical administrative amnesty policies of the Obama-Biden Administration, which will damage the integrity of the U.S. Constitution.
Border Security – President Trump delivered on his campaign promise by completing 450 miles of border wall, implementing policies aimed at reducing frivolous asylum claims, and instituting a program to make those border crossers who claim asylum wait in Mexico for the duration of their immigration court proceedings, among other things. Some of President Biden’s first actions in office were to reverse these policy successes.
Interior Security – President Trump’s interior security policies were aimed at cracking down on sanctuary jurisdictions, ending the Obama-Biden policy of catch and release, and increasing the arrest and removal of deportable aliens. President Biden’s continued reversal of President Trump’s policies will make America less safe and encourage more illegal immigration.
