Rep. Crawford’s Statement on Biden’s Mass Amnesty Order

6/18/2024

Washington, D.C. — Representative Rick Crawford (AR-01) released the following statement regarding President Biden’s plan to grant amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. 

“With illegal immigration soaring under President Biden’s open-border policies, straining law enforcement, public services, and resulting in an increase in violent crime, the President has once again responded with a weak and fumbling executive order that only contributes to additional illegal immigration. Only days ago, a young girl, barely a teenager, was reportedly raped in broad daylight in a New York park by an illegal immigrant wielding a machete, and police in Maryland, using DNA evidence, arrested an illegal immigrant for the brutal murder of a mother of five who had been out for a casual jog. President Biden’s latest amnesty plan is a slap in the face to these victims and their families, as well as the millions of legal immigrants who wait patiently in their countries of origin for visas to be approved,” said Rep. Crawford.
