President Biden signed an executive order on his very first day in office which, among other acts, abolished the 1776 Commission. Established during the Trump-Pence administration, the 1776 Commission was aimed at promoting patriotism in American education.

President Biden ordered that the census-based apportionment of congressional districts shall include illegal aliens. The order affords legal representation in Congress and related taxpayer-funded benefits to those who are in America illegally, while incentivizing and rewarding localities that flout federal immigration laws.

January 20

President Biden reinstituted the illegally-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, further incentivizing the violation of American immigration law and making a mockery of the people who have faithfully waded through the arduous legal immigration process.

The Department of Homeland Security suspended the Migrant Protection Protocol (MPP). Under the MPP, individuals who arrive at the southern border requesting asylum are given a specific date or time to appear in immigration court and are required to remain in Mexico until that time. The January 20 DHS suspension meant that the DHS would cease adding individuals into the program as of January 21, 2020.

President Biden terminated the national emergency at the southern border, claiming that the declaration of a national emergency at our southern border by President Trump was “unwarranted.” This action was taken despite ongoing and increasing violations of American immigration law at the border and continuous evidence for terrorist crossings from the south.

President Biden halted construction of the southern border wall and proclaimed that all resources appropriated to construct the wall would be “carefully reviewed” and redirected. The Biden proclamation directed the heads of executive departments and agencies to redirect funding for the border wall and terminate or repurpose the contracts of all of the private contractors engaged in wall construction.

The Department of Homeland Security paused all deportations for a period of 100 days in order to “allow DHS to ensure that its resources are dedicated to responding to the most pressing challenges that the United States faces.”

January 20

President Biden signed an executive order revoking a Trump executive order, Executive Order 13768 (Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States.” The order that was revoked by President Biden had maintained that interior enforcement of our Nation’s immigration laws is critically important to the national security and public safety of the United States. The revoked order had established that the policy of the executive branch would be to ensure the faithful execution of immigration laws, ensure that aliens ordered removed from the United States are promptly removed, and support victims and the families of victims of crimes committed by removable aliens.
