Republican Governors Urge White House Border Action
President Biden and his administration have failed to enforce border laws, resulting in an ongoing migrant crisis that Republican governors have been left to clean up. Without the federal government doing its duty, the number of illegal border crossings has grown drastically.

Republican governors have had enough. In a letter to President Biden, 26 of them called out the administration’s failures, requested an immediate meeting with the president, and urged the White House to finally take action:
“While governors are doing what we can, our Constitution requires that the President must faithfully execute the immigration laws passed by Congress. Not only has the federal government created a crisis, it has left our states to deal with challenges that only the federal government has a duty to solve.
...
A crisis that began at our southern border now extends beyond to every state and requires immediate action before the situation worsens.”

The statistics for August show just how bad this crisis has become. Last month, there were 208,887 migrant encounters at the border - a 317% increase from the same time last year.
The Biden Administration, with its open borders policies, has effectively abandoned the nation’s governors, leaving them to deal with this crisis alone. The president is fully capable of stepping up to secure the border, yet he refuses. Enough is enough.
