A group of House Republicans fired off a post-State of the Union demand Friday that the Biden administration “immediately terminate” a program that’s allowed more than 320,000 migrants into the US — so they don’t have to illegally cross the southern border.
Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC), joined by 22 other GOP lawmakers, made the request in a letter to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) acting director Troy Miller, citing a recent report from the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for less immigration and has been suing for records on the program.
“We write today to express our grave concerns over the Biden administration’s actions to fly approximately 320,000 illegal immigrants from Latin American airports to 43 cities across the United States,” wrote Fry, a member of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees.
“These secretive flights have compounded the effects of the already historic crisis at the Southern Border,” the letter says.
“We urge you to provide Congress and the American people with information as to where these illegal immigrants have been deposited into the country and immediately terminate this practice.”
The letter specifically seeks data on the destinations of the migrants and information on government costs and personnel responsible for overseeing it.
