Twenty-five Republican governors, led by Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., condemned President Joe Biden Tuesday for his persistent inaction at the southern border and his incentivizing of illegal immigration.
The governors are demanding transparency on the impacts of the border crisis, including where the government is relocating illegal aliens within the U.S. and how the federal government is processing their asylum applications.
The governors wrote a letter to Biden stating: As a result of your policies which incentivize illegal immigration, our states are carrying the burden of both the years-long surge in illegal border crossings and cartels' coordinated trafficking of drugs and human beings.
The governors highlighted the 5.8 million illegal aliens apprehended at the southern border since Biden's term began, plus an estimated 1.6 million who have evaded apprehension.
The governors expressed their concerns for their state economies, which now bear the burden of providing financial, educational, and medical support to the aliens, the costs of which are subject to record levels of inflation under Biden's economic policies: As governors, we call on you and your administration to relay immediately accurate, detailed, thorough data and information to the states about who is crossing the southern border illegally, where they are relocating, how the federal government is processing their asylum applications, and whether they are being deported successfully.
' Our fellow governor, Democrat Maura Healey of Massachusetts, declared a state of emergency due to the number of migrants in her state and described the federal government's mismanagement of immigration as 'a federal crisis of inaction.
The governors noted that they cannot afford to respond to the demands the crisis places on their states while the federal government turns a blind eye, considering analysts from the Federation for American Immigration Reform have estimated the annual net cost of illegal immigration is at least $150.7 billion.
