Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) issued a statement today, expressing his concern over the revelation that President Joe Biden has allowed over 1.6 million undocumented immigrants, referred to as 'gotaways', into the United States since taking office. This figure surpasses the total number of gotaways in the decade preceding his tenure.

Arrington criticized the president's handling of border security, stating, “The most imminent threat to our national security is President Biden’s self-inflicted border crisis. Not only has he created this unmitigated disaster, but he’s actively obstructing states from doing what he refuses to do – secure our border."

He further highlighted that under Biden's administration, there have been more known gotaways, including terrorists, cartel members and criminals than in the 10 years before he took office combined.

“No responsible and self-respecting President would allow such brazen disrespect for our laws and our sovereignty," Arrington added. He concluded by warning that the country could not withstand another four years under this administration and urged American citizens to change their leadership.
