“Trump then called on Congress to take three “crucial actions” to address the nation’s border crisis.
First, Trump called on Congress to include a “TOTAL and PERMANENT BAN” in a federal spending bill on any president using taxpayer dollars to release illegal aliens into the country.
“That is why Republicans must do whatever it takes to prevent Mitch McConnell from passing his sellout Omnibus Bill,” Trump continued.
Second, Trump called on Congress to codify all Trump-era immigration policies into federal law.
“My Title 42 policy must be legislatively restored and made permanent, making clear that it can be used in any circumstance the president deems necessary for border management,” Trump said. “Likewise, Remain in Mexico, our Safe Third Country agreements, expedited removals, 212(f), and many other vital Trump policies must be enshrined in federal law.”
Finally, the former president and current presidential candidate urged Congress to establish “CRIMINAL PENALTIES for any senior official or political appointee who orders, aids, or abets the mass-release of illegal aliens into the United States.”
“What these Open Borders extremists are doing to our country is criminal—and it should be punished as such,” Trump said.
“In the meantime, as we brace for a wave of illegal mass migration the likes of which has never been seen before, our prayers are with the brave Border Agents and ICE officers who Biden has so viciously betrayed,” Trump concluded. “We thank them for their service, and we stand with them as they fight to keep bloodthirsty criminals, savage gangs, sadistic drug cartels, child and women smugglers, and human traffickers out of our country.”
