Speaking from Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, the lawmakers said the southern border is completely lawless under the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) pointed to Biden\u2019s immediate policies upon entering office, including halting border wall construction, reinstating catch and release, and repealing President Trump\u2019s \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d rule. Additionally, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) noted illegal immigration isn\u2019t just a problem for border states, but also poses a national security, health and humanitarian crisis for all 50 states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen illegal drugs come into Iowa, across the border, it\u2019s because the president isn\u2019t enforcing laws. When 15 percent of the people come across the border that had the virus, it\u2019s spreading the virus around the other 50 states,\u201d said Grassley. \u201cWhen we get terrorists arrested at the border, it\u2019s a national security issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Pres Biden needs to enforce our immigration laws It\u2019s long overdue The border crisis causes problems in all 50 states <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HmaSq6DIEA\">pic.twitter.com\/HmaSq6DIEA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ChuckGrassley (@ChuckGrassley) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChuckGrassley\/status\/1445838213432610821?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes as official Border Patrol numbers have shown between August of this year and 2020, apprehensions along the southern border rose by almost 500 percent.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/18-year-old-suspect-in-texas-school-shooting-in-custody-no-additional-threats-to-campus\/\">18-Year-Old Suspect In Texas School Shooting In Custody, No Additional Threats To Campus<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 OCTOBER 06: U.S. Sen.
