Border hawks blast GOP dissenters for not supporting bill to crack down on illegal immigration

Border hawks are pointing the finger not only at the Biden administration for the ongoing crisis at the southern border but also at Republican lawmakers for not doing enough.

Morgan was one of the border experts on a press call hosted by the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C., where he and colleagues called out Republicans for not doing more on border security. They especially targeted a small number of GOP lawmakers for obstructing a bill designed to address the historic flow of illegal immigrants into the country under the Biden administration.

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, introduced the Border Safety and Security Act, or H.R. 29, which would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to turn away illegal immigrants who present themselves at the border "during any period when DHS cannot detain such an individual or return the individual to a foreign country." The legislation is designed to relieve the pressure at overwhelmed detention centers along the southern border and prevent the mass release of migrants into the U.S.
