The U.S. House of Representatives, led by HouseGOP, has passed H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, authored by Representative Mario Diaz-Balart nearly a year ago, and touted as the strongest border security bill in history. The bill proposes to restart construction of the border wall, increase the number of Border Patrol agents, end the practice of catch and release, and reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy. Despite its passage, Senate Democrats have not acted on the bill, amid criticisms of the current administration's border policies by figures such as Representative Rudy Yakym, who condemns Biden's America Last agenda. The bill's supporters argue it is essential for tackling the 'Biden Border Crisis' by enhancing security measures, including the Laken Riley Act to prevent illegal immigrants with criminal histories from entering the U.S., and holding the Biden administration accountable for its perceived failures, including the unchecked entry of criminal cartel members.
As Americans, we ought to know how many criminal cartel members have entered our country under Biden’s failed border policies. I cosponsored legislation that will hold Biden’s Administration accountable. We must secure our border. https://t.co/IItTvHVcke
H.R. 2, which I authored nearly a year ago, would protect American lives and secure our borders once and for all. I urge the President to do his job and work with us to enforce the rule of law. https://t.co/qRXi06z6Sa

Every state is now a border state. Illegal immigrants with expansive criminal history are entering our country daily. That's why I signed onto the Laken Riley Act, to ensure illegal immigrants with criminal history don't get into this country & harm Americans. https://t.co/iT0AoiWMrU
We can solve the #BidenBorderCrisis by finishing the wall, ending “catch-and-release,” reinstating “Remain in Mexico,” and punishing drug traffickers for their crimes. Senate Democrats must pass and President Biden must sign #HR2 — @HouseGOP’s Secure the Border Act!
Are you urging @SenSchumer to take up H.R. 2, Secure the Border Act, passed by the House last May? https://t.co/KanDg4Gont
Letting people waltz right into our country is the last thing we should be doing. Yet that’s the exact thing happening under Biden’s America Last agenda. How many more tragedies have to occur for this president to realize his border policies are reckless and dangerous? https://t.co/KoVPfuCKfn
#HR2, passed by @HouseGOP, is the STRONGEST border security bill in history. 🏗️ Restarts construction of the border wall 📈 Increases the number of Border Patrol agents ❌ Ends DEADLY catch and release Americans cannot afford to wait, but radical Democrats REFUSE to act.
