GOP introduces Bill to Censure Joe
GOP Introduces Bill To Censure Joe Biden For ‘Failure To Execute The Duties Of His Office’
the author's opinion
Almost two dozen Republican lawmakers in Congress
introduced a resolution on Wednesday to censure Joe
Biden for his “failure to execute the duties of his office.”
The move to censure the 46th President of the United
States comes amid the growing immigration crisis at
the southern border, which was precipitated by Biden’s
rollback of Donald Trump’s initiatives intended to stem
the flow of illegal aliens into the country.
As one of his first executive orders, Biden halted the
construction of the border wall intended to restrict
and stem the flow of illegal immigration into the
country from Mexico by closing the gaps in
remote locations across Arizona, New Mexico,
and Texas.
Biden also rolled back several other Trump
initiatives, namely those intended to keep asylum seekers
and would-be migrants from Central America by
processing them in their home countries and in Mexico.
Since then, Biden delegated the task of dealing with
the border crisis to Kamala Harris, who only this
week announced that she would take a trip to
the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday, three months
after she first took on the role.
Led by Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, Republican
lawmakers introduced a censure resolution to express
their “disapproval of [Biden’s] failure to uphold the
constitutional duty to ‘take Care that the Laws be
faithfully executed,’” according to Boebert’s press
Representative Boebert stated:
“My censure bill holds President Biden
accountable for his actions—or lack
thereof—at othe border. Biden has
refused to enforce the laws securing
our border, he has refused to visit
our border, his border czar
Kamala has refused to visit
the border, and his Secretary
of Homeland Security is lying
to the American people by saying
that our border is closed. Not only
has Biden done nothing to secure
the border, but he has also
actively made it worse by
implementing policies that
incentivize illegal immigration
like amnesty, catch and release,
and abolishing the remain in
Mexico policy. The result
of Biden’s mismanagement
is staggering, and the numbers
speak for themselves.”
Boebert’s comments were followed by remarks from
Rep. Andy Biggs, who called the Biden administration
a “complete disaster.”
“President Biden and Vice President Harris have sent an
unequivocal message that they prefer illegal immigrants
over Americans. Their radical agenda has erased our
southern border. Americans suffer from the Biden policy
which has encouraged more than one million illegal
border crossings this year which has produced an
increased human, sex, and drug trafficking. The
American people condemn the Biden Administration’s
dereliction of duty,” said Biggs.
“Ensuring the integrity of our borders is one of
the most fundamental duties of a president, yet
President Biden has destroyed four years of
progress at the border to satisfy far-left activists
and cheap labor-loving globalists. His reckless
determination to reverse every Trump administration
policy regardless of the outcome has put every
American family and our economy at risk. We must
hold President Biden to account for putting politics
over the people he has sworn an oath to protect,”
remarked Rep. H. Morgan Griffith.
“The absence of law and order is the breeding ground for
criminal activity,” said Rep. Bob Good. “Within the
first four months of the Biden Administration, arrests
for murder are already up an astonishing 1,133
percent at the southern border. President Biden’s
reckless approach to our southern border is
manufacturing a humanitarian crisis. President
Biden has undermined his oath and taken Congress’
power into his own hands by granting blanket
amnesty and failing to enforce the laws on
the books. I am proud to join Congresswoman
Boebert in calling for his censure.”
The representatives were joined by U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) Former Acting Commissioner
Mark Morgan, who stated that Biden is “currently
presiding over the greatest abandonment of immigration
enforcement and border security this country has ever
seen. Our border is in a historic crisis, solely due to his
actions.”
The president of the Federation of American Immigration
Reform (FAIR) Dan Stein, NumbersUSA Director
Rosemary Jenks, and Eagle Forum President Collleen
Holcomb also offered remarks blasting President Biden’s
failure to uphold his duty.
The effort to censure President Biden comes in the wake
of a CBP report announcing that a record-high number
of 180,000 migrants were caught at the U.S.-Mexico
border in May, in comparison to a mere 23,000 in 2020.
It is the highest figure recorded by the agency in two decades.
