Congressman Blake Moore released a strong statement following President Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address, including comments on what he calls the border crisis. Rep. Moore said that he is disappointed that President Biden tried to blame Congressional Republicans for his border crisis. “The American people know better,” says Moore. “It’s to be expected in an election year, but this crisis is his own making, and he must do better. Rather than wasting time with convenient political posturing, President Biden could and should reinstate the many effective, data-driven border policies from the Trump-Pence Administration and end the most catastrophic border crisis our nation has ever seen…Recognizing the threat this crisis has created for our national security and the safety of our communities, House Republicans swiftly passed H.R. 2, the strongest border security bill in our history, to strengthen our southern border with new technologies, increase the number of Border Patrol agents and provide bonus pay, restart construction of the border wall, end catch-and-release, and require transparency from the Department of Homeland Security.” Rep. Moore emphasized that it is past time for President Biden to use his position to reverse the border crisis, strengthen national security, and keep neighborhoods safe.
