🧵 This week, President Trump signed the “Secure America Act” into law, building on generational border security wins accomplished under this administration & @HouseGOP––even in the face of Democrat obstruction.

Here’s how this legislation gives @DHSgov the resources, staffing, and tools necessary to maintain a secure border for years to come: The Secure America Act:

🔦Invests nearly $3.5 billion in modernizing and enhancing border security technologies, surveillance systems, and inspection equipment to deter illegal border crossings and improve the operational effectiveness of agents in the field.

🧵🧵Another optics smokescreen from Biden & Harris. Parole may not be renewed for some Venezuelans flown in through the unlawful Biden-Harris CHNV program, but there are numerous other ways they could be allowed to stay.
cbsnews.com/news/venezuela… They will likely apply for asylum, Temporary Protected Status, or, given ICE's low enforcement rates under this administration, simply not be priorities for removal.

This lack of enforcement is part of the reason the Non-Detained Docket has doubled in size since the Trump admin.

🧵🧵We're not sure where Democrats got their numbers for the floor debate today, but during every full month of the Biden administration, including last month, encounters have been higher than President Trump's final month in office.

All of these numbers are from CBP: Nationwide, total encounters by CBP were 92,746 in December 2020 (Trump's last full month), but 205,019 in June 2024!

This includes illegal aliens coming across the Southwest, maritime, and northern borders, as well as inadmissible encounters at official ports of entry.

🧵The individual stories of crimes committed and tragedies caused by illegal aliens on Secretary Mayorkas' watch are heartbreaking. Just a couple of weeks ago, a Venezuelan illegal alien who was paroled into the country in 2022 murdered Georgia nursing student Laken Riley in broad daylight while she was on a run.

🚨NEW: Documents obtained by @HomelandGOP detail the Biden administration's shocking abuse of the CBP One app. homeland.house.gov/2023/10/23/new… The documents show 278,431 appointments scheduled through the CBP One app between Jan. 12, 2023, and Sept. 30, 2023, with 266,846 inadmissible aliens released into the interior.
