WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement on President Joe Biden signing an Executive Order to stop construction of physical barriers along the southern border:
“Securing the border should be one of our nation’s highest priorities, but even as a caravan makes its way to the southern border and parts of the border wall remain unbuilt, President Biden has apparently decided to stand down. Stopping construction does not stop the problem from existing. That is neither good leadership nor sound policy. I urge the President to reconsider this poor decision and to work with Congress to properly equip our immigration law enforcement officers so they can protect our country and deter the free flow of illegal immigrants.”
