Republican lawmakers blasted President Joe Biden following the revelation
Thursday that immigration officials are releasing migrants with criminal
records into the US.

�Joe Biden is failing to enforce our rule of law and pouring violent
criminals into our communities in the cover of night,� Rep. Elise Stefanik
(R-NY) told The Post.

�The Biden Administration must reverse course and put the interest and
safety of the American people first and secure the border and deport these
illegals now,� the chair of the House Republican Conference added.

Rep. Michael Carey (R-Ohio) tweeted, �We already knew that the Biden
Administration could care less about our immigration laws, but it appears
they have no regard for the safety of our communities either.�

Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) posted: �Democrats want criminals on our
streets. They are willfully endangering Americans.�

Another GOP congressman from Texas, August Pfluger, called the
administration�s actions, �Unacceptable & flagrant disregard for our
National security.�

Rep. Fred Keller (R-Penn) said that �the Biden administration caved to
partisan pressure without a plan of its own� and contrasted the
president�s border policies with those of former President Donald Trump.

�The results have been disastrous,� he tweeted.

Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) said that Biden�s White House �has given the
green light for illegal immigrants to come into our communities.�

�Biden is trying to hide the ongoing border crisis from the American
people, but he has made every state a border state. This is UNACCEPTABLE,�
he tweeted.

Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.) tweeted, �Oversight is necessary on this
issue as the Pres has crippled our national security w/ his open border
policies.�

�Reports from ICE agents that this travel is ultimately paid for by the
fed gov would be an inexcusable misuse of taxpayer dollars & should be
investigated thoroughly,� he added.

Also Thursday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
and 11 other state attorneys general held a border security briefing in
Weslaco, just north of the Rio Grande, which separates the US from Mexico.

�Joe Biden doesn�t care about victims of human trafficking,� Abbott said,
according to TV station KXAN.

�If he cared, he would step up and do something about it, but he does not
care about the carnage that he�s causing to lives and communities across
the entire country.�
