U.S. Senator Steve Daines, alongside fellow lawmakers, has issued a letter criticizing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their handling of immigration policies. The letter accuses the administration of exacerbating the national security crisis at the southern border since taking office.

The senators' letter states: “Instead of addressing the flow of illegal immigration and illicit drugs across our borders, your administration has turned its back on those who wish to immigrate here legally and welcomed illegal aliens with open arms. Instead of directing resources to securing our borders and processing legal immigrant applications, your administration has crippled our immigration enforcement capabilities and prioritized amnesty applications.”

Furthermore, the letter emphasizes that “the administration has one job—to enforce the law of the land. Instead of detaining and deporting illegal aliens, your administration has shown a blatant disregard for the rule of law and national security.”

Senator Daines is known for supporting measures such as the border wall, Title 42, and the Remain in Mexico policy.
