Detain and deport is the law. Under the Biden admin, it’s been replaced with catch and release. We will continue to see this crisis at the southern border as long as President Biden refuses to enforce our immigration laws. risch.senate.gov/public/index.c…
@SenatorRisch Then why do you keep fully funding it?
@SenatorRisch Asylum seekers are not deported before their hearing. That’s the law.
@SenatorRisch Defund the NGO's! Our tax dollars are funding this.
@SenatorRisch No deportation can occur under US law without a hearing. Republicans have refused to fund more immigration courts since 2013 and now there’s a 2 year backlog. Republicans don’t want to fix it.
@SenatorRisch Sure, it's such a crisis that Spkr Mikey said it could wait until 2025. It's either a dereliction of duty or there is no there there, 1/2
@SenatorRisch You just voted to give billions to Ukraine and Israel without doing anything to secure our border , didn't demand the border be closed as part of any deals on aid . Our debt is 34 + trillion , any aid needs to be paid for by cutting some other government waste or no deal .
@SenatorRisch Please stop lying about this. The Biden Admin has been trying to do something and is constantly told by the courts (after Republican lawsuits) that they can't. It will take action by Congress which Republicans are blocking. So please stop lying about it.
@SenatorRisch Trump uses racist rhetoric saying immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country." He loves to referring to Eisenhower's "Operation Wetback" likely because he likes how it sounds. But Risch discounts Trump's failures to carry out mass deportations. google.com/amp/s/www.pbs.…
