Advancing American Freedom Takes Stand for Securing the Border

July 31, 2023

Advancing American Freedom today revealed its latest Future of Freedom legislative agenda—this one focused on securing the border, protecting American citizens, and holding the Biden-Harris administration accountable for their failures to enforce the law on the border. This week, AAF staff will visit the southern border, alongside staff from the Texas Public Policy Foundation, to learn firsthand about the human suffering caused by the open border.

“The tragic failures of the Biden-Harris administration to keep our border secure, stop human trafficking, and protect our citizens from the narcotics and gang violence pouring across the border are well known to the American people,” said AAF Executive Director Paul Teller. “Congress needs to hold President Biden, Secretary Mayorkas, and the Department of Homeland Security accountable for their dangerous failings at the border, while also passing legislation that gives our border agents the resources and restored powers they need to do their jobs and enforce the law. Advancing American Freedom believes that a country without a secure border and the rule of law isn’t a country at all and will continue to call for decisive action from Congress and the administration to keep our country safe.”
