U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra was among the supporters of the Secure the Border Act passed by the House of Representatives Thursday.
'Iowans and Americans nationwide deserve safe communities and a secure border – period," the Republican from Hull said in a written statement.
Feenstra asserted that since President Joe Biden took office more than 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border. He also claimed that more than 14,000 pounds of fentanyl have been seized by law enforcement officers in that same time period. He did not cite any sources or indicate where he got those statistics.
"In our Commitment to America, House Republicans promised that we would counter President Biden's border crisis with serious proposals to protect our families," he said. "Today, we delivered on our promise by passing our Secure the Border Act to keep fentanyl out of our communities, maintain Title 42, fully fund our Border Patrol agents and finish the wall."
