RNC Statement on February Border Encounters

Press Release

189,922 illegal immigrants were encountered attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border in February – the highest number ever recorded for February in DHS history

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley released the following statement on February border encounters: 

“Our southern border is wide open, and our National Guardsmen and border patrol agents are being overrun on the front lines. After Joe Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days to dismantle America’s border security, it’s clear that his destructive pro-criminal policies are the root cause of Biden’s Border Crisis. We need President Donald J. Trump to make America safe again.”
