Washington – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) issued a statement on June 5, 2024, criticizing President Joe Biden's approach to border security.

"The entire country knows that on day one of his presidency, Joe Biden threw open the nation’s borders, ended policies that were working to restrict illegal crossings, turned America into a sanctuary nation, prevented Border Patrol professionals from doing their job, and repurposed them as Uber drivers for illegals," said Issa.

Issa expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the administration's recent proposal. "Biden’s allies call today’s proposal a 'crackdown.' Left out of that spin is the fact that this new order only goes into effect after illegal border crossings reach 2,500 per day – almost one million per year. Some crackdown."

He further criticized the President's overall handling of immigration. "The fact is it is too late for Biden. He purposefully broke our immigration system, made a mockery of our laws, penalized those who played by the rules, and let more than 10 million illegals into the country to stay. All of this, including the unprecedented number of victims of human trafficking and the deadliest drug crisis in America’s history, is Joe Biden’s fault – and Biden’s alone."
