Congressman Maxwell Frost Criticizes Biden Administration Decision to Build Additional Border Wall
WASHINGTON D.C. — Today, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) released a statement criticizing the Biden Administration's decision to bypass 26 federal laws to build an additional stretch of border wall in Rio Grande Valley.
In a statement, Rep. Frost says:
“As our nation witnesses humanitarian and authoritarian crises across Central and South America, building a border wall is equivalent to sticking our heads in the sand.
“A wall does not stop these innocent migrants from making the difficult personal decision to flee their home countries, it just makes their treacherous journey in search of freedom even more painful and dangerous.
“To expand the border wall would be to continue the harmful, despicable immigration practices of the previous administration. The answer to the crisis at the southern border cannot be to renege on our promise of pursuing a compassionate, comprehensive immigration system. I am deeply disappointed in the Biden Administration for this hazardous move as the climate crisis looms and the humanitarian crisis deepens.
“There has to be another way. Congress must act.”
