U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement after he voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Secure the Border Act of 2023:
“Since President Biden took office, more than 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed our border and over 14,000 pounds of fentanyl have been apprehended by law enforcement. In our Commitment to America, House Republicans promised that we would counter President Biden’s border crisis with serious proposals to protect our families.
Today, we delivered on our promise by passing our Secure the Border Act to keep fentanyl out of our communities, maintain Title 42, fully fund our border patrol agents, and finish the wall. Iowans and Americans nationwide deserve safe communities and a secure border — period.”
