Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Defense Appropriations Committee, issued a statement on May 23, 2024, after voting against recent immigration legislation. Hoeven's opposition stems from his belief that the bill fails to address border security adequately.
"The Biden administration has created the crisis at the border by failing to uphold existing immigration laws or enforce policies like Remain in Mexico and Safe Third Country Agreements," said Hoeven. He criticized the legislation for not including provisions to ensure law enforcement and border closure.
"While at the same time, the bill provides funding to sanctuary cities and includes other incentives that increase illegal immigration," he added. Hoeven emphasized that "the Biden administration does not need more laws to secure the border; they need to enforce our existing laws."
