Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs Chairman Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) announced a subcommittee hearing titled “The Border Crisis: The Cost of Chaos” to examine the financial impact of the Biden-Harris Administration’s border policies.
“President Biden and his ‘border czar’, Vice President Harris, have created the worst border crisis in American history by knowingly dismantling the very tools and policies that deter illegal immigration. This border crisis is not without cost. Americans have been murdered, raped, burglarized, and violently assaulted by illegal aliens who should not be free to roam our country. Foreign gangs are infiltrating our communities and fentanyl pouring across the southern border is killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. The massive influx of illegal aliens is burdening our healthcare, justice, education, and social service systems – placing American taxpayers on the hook as they continue to suffer from skyrocketing inflation due to this Administration’s spending binge. Our subcommittee will examine the costs of the Biden-Harris border crisis with expert witnesses and discuss deterrent focused solutions to end this manufactured crisis,” said Subcommittee Chairman Grothman.
The hearing will take place on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at 2:00 PM ET in Room 2154 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
Witnesses scheduled to testify include Steven Camarota, Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies, and Chris Clem, Former Chief Patrol Agent for the Yuma Sector of U.S. Border Patrol.
The event will be open to both public and press attendees and will also be livestreamed online at https://oversight.house.gov/.
