This initiative aims to keep immigration issues prominent in voters&#8217; considerations as the November election approaches. On Thursday, House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green announced that lawmakers will gather in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, September 18, to examine the illegal immigration situation affecting the southern border and its implications for public safety and crime across the nation, as well as evaluating federal law enforcement&#8217;s performance under Democratic leadership. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Next week\u2019s hearing will present an undeniable reality to Americans: our previously secure border has been left wide open by Biden and Harris,&#8221; Green stated on Thursday afternoon. &#8220;This is a critical issue of our time.&#8221; Since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office in January 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has reported over 10 million encounters with migrants nationwide\u2014more than any previous administration.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have accused the Biden-Harris administration of attempting to reduce illegal crossings from Mexico through programs that allow migrants to apply for entry from outside the U.S. GOP lawmakers argue that this increased reliance on parole programs exceeds executive authority since Congress holds exclusive power over immigration levels. &#8220;From day one, President Joe Biden and his &#8216;border czar&#8217; Vice President Kamala Harris began dismantling what was once a secure border,&#8221; Green remarked. &#8220;They ended years of bipartisan enforcement of America\u2019s established immigration laws.&#8221; He added that Border Patrol agents were compelled to adopt mass catch-and-release policies while ICE&#8217;s interior enforcement capabilities were significantly weakened\u2014all in pursuit of an open borders agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP-controlled committee will convene next Wednesday at 10 a.m. on Capitol Hill with various witnesses expected to include CBP personnel. This hearing follows closely after another held by the House Judiciary Committee addressing crimes committed by immigrants who entered illegally and victimized U.S citizens.
