House Republicans are fulfilling our promise to restore sanctity, safety, and security at our border by passing H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023.

President Biden allowed Title 42 — a pandemic-era public-health measure that allows border officials to immediately expel migrants who attempt to cross into our country illegally, disallowing them to claim asylum — to expire, and he has told the country to brace for chaos. This is not news. Republicans have been telling him that the border is a chaotic crisis for two and a half years. Where is the president, Secretary Mayorkas, and the vice president? They’re completely out of touch, and the result is an insecure border and the destruction of the rule of law. We have an answer in H.R. 2.
