Mass release at the U.S. border introduces tangible risks of preventable crimes into communities all across the United States. By enforcing current immigration law, ending the abuse of parole, and either returning asylum applicants to Mexico or detaining them throughout their court proceedings, the Biden Administration could substantially reduce the risk and ensuing social and economic costs of crime committed by illegal aliens. Meanwhile, Congress should pass H.R. 2 (Secure the Border Act), defund President Biden’s open border operations, and transfer funds to ICE to enforce our existing immigration laws. In addition, states have considerable authority to protect their citizens from preventable crimes. States should end pro-crime, non-prosecution, and sanctuary policies and stop playing recidivist roulette with American lives.
