MOULTON STATEMENT ON BIDEN IMMIGRATION EXECUTIVE ORDER

Statement

“This executive order demonstrates that the President is serious about the problem at the Southern Border. Trump and Republicans in Congress should take this problem seriously, too. While this Executive Order will help, the bottom line is that we need congressional action.

We need a system that secures the border and stems the flow of fentanyl; one that creates lawful and reasonable paths to citizenship to incentivize people to come here legally, not illegally; one that retains talent instead of sending American-educated scholars back to China; and one that provides much-needed emergency funding to states like Massachusetts that are dealing with a huge influx of migrants.

Congress can confront this crisis and finally build a more secure, more sustainable system. Time and again, a group of Republicans have cynically squandered every bipartisan deal that’s moved forward. I’ll continue to push for real action for as long as it takes.”
