WASHINGTON—Chairman Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) of the Subcommittee on National Security, Border, and Foreign Affairs announced a hearing titled “How the Border Crisis Affects Public Safety.” The Subcommittee hearing will examine how the Biden administration's policy changes have benefited criminal illegal aliens while harming the safety of American citizens and legal residents.

“The words coming from President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas on their efforts to apprehend and remove illegal aliens ring hollow. The Biden administration's policies have allowed criminal aliens to roam freely in the United States, exacerbating the harmful effects felt by communities at the border and across the country. Every crime committed by an illegal immigrant in the United States is preventable, yet Democrats are allergic to discussing this issue because of their blind loyalty to President Biden and his destructive policies. The safety and security of Americans should not be a partisan issue. “I look forward to discussing with the invited expert witnesses before the Subcommittee what changes are needed and why not.” said Grothman, chairman of the subcommittee.
