WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) issued a statement following President Joe Biden's signing of an Executive Order to halt asylum requests at the U.S.-Mexico border once the average number of daily encounters reaches 2,500 between ports of entry.
"As the saying goes, 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.' First President Biden failed to acknowledge the border crisis. Then he denied it. Now he's finally addressing it months after he said he'd done all he could do. There must be an election coming up," said Rep. Kelly. "This Executive Order is too little, too late. President Biden and the Democrats spent the last three years turning a blind eye and a deaf ear as millions of migrants illegally crossed into the United States. Now, the President is claiming he’s here to save the day. On day one, President Biden reversed President Trump’s border policies. It appears President Biden is now admitting President Trump was right all along."
