Congressman John Moolenaar voted for legislation that will secure the southern border. H.R. 2 - the Secure the Border Act will end the Biden administration's open border policies, restart construction on the border wall, protect unaccompanied migrant children from human trafficking, and increase the number of U.S Border Patrol agents. The House of Representatives passed the bill this afternoon.

“I voted for H.R. 2 because it will help secure the southern border and keep our country safe. President Biden’s border policies have benefited drug cartels and human traffickers, while subjecting women and children to horrific sexual abuse, and allowing fentanyl to pour across the border and kill Americans. His policies have allowed six million people to cross the border in the past two years – 30 times the population of Grand Rapids – and released many of them on the honor system to appear in court in the future. This broken status quo cannot continue and the U.S. Senate should immediately consider H.R. 2 to address Biden’s border crisis.”

Under the Biden administration, there has been six million migrant encounters at the border - already more encounters than the amount that occurred from 2017 to 2021.
