Rep. Mark Green on the Big Beautiful Bill Act and Border Security

Border Security Crisis Under Biden Administration

• 🚨 The current border crisis is attributed to the reckless disregard for the rule of law by the Biden-Harris administration.
• 📈 Over 13 million inadmissible aliens have entered the country, overwhelming Border Patrol and CBP officers.
• ⚠️ This influx has led to chaos in communities, increased illegal gang activity, and the spread of fentanyl.

Impact of Previous Border Security Measures

• 📉 Southwest border encounters were down over 90% as of April, a decrease from the lowest point in the previous administration.
• 🎯 This reduction was largely due to Texas's Operation Lone Star, not actions by the Biden administration.

The Big Beautiful Bill Act for Border Security

• ✅ The Committee on Homeland Security has developed common-sense border security legislation, the Big Beautiful Bill Act, to secure the border.
• 💰 The bill includes $7 billion for recruiting and training new border agents and funding for wall construction with high-tech surveillance.
• 🔌 It also allocates $5 billion for technology enhancements and expands Operation Stone Garden grants for states collaborating with DHS.
• 🗣️ The bill is a result of the American people demanding action and electing a Republican Congress.
