Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D., released a statement regarding President Biden’s recent executive order on asylum and border security.

“Today’s announcement by President Joe Biden is an admission of guilt. The fact is, Joe Biden created the worst border crisis in CBP history. Now, five months before the presidential election, he expects the American people to believe he has a plan to fix the crisis he has spent three years assembling,” Senator Marshall said. “This is a lie, it’s insulting, and it’s wrong to play fast and loose with America’s national security.”

Senator Marshall criticized the executive order for containing numerous loopholes and exceptions. “The executive order is filled with loopholes and exceptions. It will not stop up to 30,000 migrants from flying directly into the U.S. and being released under Biden’s mass parole program each month,” he stated. “This action does not address the millions of unvetted ‘gotaways’ entering our country, and the asylum ‘ban’ is filled with exemptions including unaccompanied minors, playing right into the cartels’ hands and child trafficking operations at the border.”

“The only ones celebrating Joe Biden’s announcement are the cartels that now run our border operations,” Senator Marshall continued. “When you pull back the curtain, it’s clear that this executive order is not about securing the border; it’s about political cover.”
