"The Biden-Harris administration has overseen the entry of over 10 million illegal immigrants into our country," Tenney said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Yet, instead of prioritizing border security and supporting CBP agents, they focused on sending the IRS to harass middle-class families. The DIRECT Act stops Biden's IRS army from launching audits of middle-class families and reinvests those funds to hiring additional Customs and Border Protection agents to secure the Southern Border."
The congresswoman added: "As we transition to the new administration, it is vital to provide CBP agents with the additional resources needed to secure our borders and deport illegal immigrants, ensuring they can effectively support President Trump's and Border Czar Homan's agenda."
