Thompson Statement on the Secure the Border Act of 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Glenn "GT" Thompson today issued a statement following the passage of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act:

"We have a clear emergency at our southern border. Illegal drugs and unaccompanied minors are pouring over the border, creating unmanageable chaos, and preventing legitimate asylum seekers from having their cases heard. The hardworking men and women of the Customs and Border Protection Agency are doing their best to manage an untenable situation. The Administration is not making this easier on them, nor have they acted to address this crisis. Today's bill illustrates the House's commitment to securing our border and regaining control of our immigration process, which is fair, humane, and adheres to the rule of law."
