Tommy Tuberville is criticizing the Biden Administration\u2019s weak reaction to the massive influx of illegal immigrants over the last few months.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview, the Republican discussed his trip to McAllen, Texas where he experienced first hand the amount of migrants flooding into the country. He specifically blasted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for seemingly not taking the crisis seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Tuberville\u2019s comments come shortly after introducing the Empowering Law Enforcement Act. If passed, the bill would give local and state law enforcement more power to arrest and hold those who enter the U.S. illegally and commit crimes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If the the likes of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are not going to protect our borders WE HAVE to empower our state and local officers to do so.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LTYTsRsRlT\">https:\/\/t.co\/LTYTsRsRlT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tommy Tuberville (@TTuberville) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TTuberville\/status\/1393036113661632512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The senator has been on a tear against the administration in recent days, speaking out strongly on the Senate floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of Joe Biden\u2019s first moves was to signal to the world that America\u2019s borders are open. The result: absolute chaos,\u201d said Tuberville. He has insisted the burden of the administration\u2019s policies land on the shoulders of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>As it currently stands, if Immigration and Customs Enforcement detains someone, they have 180 days before they must release them back into the country no matter what crime has been committed.<\/p>\n<p>Tuberville\u2019s bill would grant state and local law enforcement the ability to carry out immigration laws and provide more flexibility to detain potentially violent criminals crossing the border.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/6-n-y-county-executives-urge-gov-andrew-cuomo-to-follow-cdc-guidance-on-masks\/\">6 N.Y.
