Kemp slams Dems for ignoring border crisis despite having full control
Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp Slams President Biden’s Lack of Leadership on Border Crisis
In a fiery interview over the weekend, Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia criticized President Joe Biden’s handling of the national security and human rights catastrophe unfolding at the U.S. southern border.
Kemp’s remarks came in response to a question from ABC News’s Jonathan Karl about the rejection of a controversial border bill by Republicans in Congress last week.
“It was a highly unproductive week in Washington, D.C., for both Congress and the president,” Kemp stated. ”This frustration is felt across the country, which is why I highlighted the leadership shown by Republican governors in addressing critical issues and getting things done.”
Expressing his personal opinion, Kemp added, “I believe that policymakers in D.C. should vote based on policy, not on someone else’s instructions. But what disappoints me is President Biden’s attempt to shift blame onto Republicans for the border crisis. It’s a clear lack of leadership.”
Kemp revealed that he had urged Democrats in the Senate over a year ago to “secure the dang border” in response to the public’s demand. He praised the success of Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s efforts but emphasized the need to secure the entire southern border, a responsibility that lies with the president.
“President Biden has the power to take action today and stop passing the buck on failed legislation. We’ve been dealing with this issue for years now,” Kemp asserted.
He also reminded the nation that Democrats had complete control of the legislative and executive branches from 2020 to 2022 but failed to address the border crisis despite pleas from Republican governors.

What specific actions does Governor Kemp want President Biden and Congress to take in order to address the border crisis and protect the safety and well-being of American citizens
President Biden on the border crisis. Unfortunately, it seems that the president is lacking in that department.”
Governor Kemp did not hold back in his criticism, pointing out the dire consequences of President Biden’s ineffective approach to the border crisis. “This is not just a matter of illegal immigration,” Kemp emphasized. “It is a matter of national security and human rights.

Kemp also criticized the Democratic Party’s handling of the border crisis, particularly their rejection of a border bill proposed by Republicans in Congress. “The rejection of the border bill is a clear indication of the Democrats’ unwillingness to address this crisis,” Kemp stated. “It is a missed opportunity to implement effective policies that would secure our borders and prevent further harm to our country.”
The governor highlighted the impact of the border crisis on Georgia and other states across the nation. “The consequences of the border crisis are not isolated to border states,” Kemp emphasized. “They are felt by every state, including Georgia. We see increased drug trafficking, gang violence, and strain on our public resources. This is unacceptable, and the president needs to take immediate action to address this crisis.”
Kemp called for a comprehensive and bipartisan approach to resolving the border crisis. “We need a leader who is willing to work with both parties to find real solutions,” he asserted. “This is not a partisan issue; it is a national issue that requires swift and effective action. I urge President Biden and Congress to put politics aside and prioritize the safety and well-being of the American people.”
Governor Kemp concluded his remarks by expressing his commitment to protecting the citizens of Georgia and the United States. “As the governor of Georgia, I will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and security of our state,” he stated. “But we need strong and decisive leadership at the federal level. President Biden must step up and take responsibility for the border crisis. The American people deserve better.”
In conclusion, Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia delivered a scathing critique of President Biden’s lack of leadership on the border crisis.
