Biden prioritizes non-citizens over American citizens

Landry is leading a coalition of 14 states suing the Biden administration over yet another unlawful immigration rule. "Biden continues to prioritize non-citizens over American citizens he took an oath to protect," said Attorney General Landry. "He is once again undermining the rule of law and jeopardizing the safety and security of our country. This rule will make an already porous border even easier for drugs, human traffickers, and sexual predators to cross." Source: Minden Press-Herald on 2023 Louisiana Gubernatorial race , Apr 29, 2022

Enforce existing laws to close our borders

It has occurred to me that over the past 200 plus years of the Republic, during times of economic hardship, wars, or famine, the United States has provided a safe haven for those who sought a better opportunity.

If we fail in this experiment called th United States, there will be no place left to go. The United States represents the last frontier.

But we must not be a frontier with open borders and I will support efforts to enforce existing laws to close our borders and keep our nation safe.
