WASHINGTON, DC – Thursday, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement on the Biden Administration’s intention to end the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” border protection policy:

Rep. August Pfluger (TX-11): “Without Remain in Mexico it’s Remain in the US. President Biden’s policies have created an environment of weakness along our southern border that emboldens drug cartels, human traffickers, suspected terrorists, and criminals to break our laws and put American and migrant lives in danger. Under the Biden Administration, over 3 million migrants and 50 suspected terrorists have crossed our southern border illegally, and heartbreaking human smuggling casualty events have become all too common. We should be empowering our border patrol agents, not removing the few tools they have.”
