Gov. Brian Kemp is among 26 Republican governors who signed a hard-hitting letter seeking a meeting with President Joe Biden in coming days to discuss “the damage” that his open borders policy is causing due to the daily influx of thousands of illegal aliens.
InsiderAdvantage yesterday phoned and emailed press aides to Democratic U.S. Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff along with Democratic U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath. All refused to answer our question: “Do you believe the Biden administration should do far more to close the southern border and deport illegal immigrants coming here and who are already here?”
“Despite the lack of federal action to reverse the crisis, many states have stepped up and committed unprecedented resources to support the security of our national border,” Kemp and the other governors wrote. “We have heard directly from our constituents about the damage this crisis has caused in our states, and it is our duty as elected officials to act swiftly to protect our communities, as it is yours.” “We must end the current crisis and return to border operations that respect the laws of our land and the lives of all people, including those in our states looking to the federal government to enforce and protect our nation’s borders,” the letter states.
In conclusion, the governors told Biden that “due to the emergent crisis, we respectfully request a meeting as soon as your schedule allows within 15 days.”
Along with Kemp, other governors signing the letter were Kay Ivey of Alabama; Mike Dunleavy of Alaska; Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas; Ron DeSantis of Florida; Brad Little of Idaho; Eric Holcomb of Indiana; Kim Reynolds of Iowa; Larry Hogan of Maryland; Charlie Baker of Massachusetts; Tate Reeves of Mississippi; Mike Parson of Missouri; Greg Gianforte of Montana; Pete Ricketts of Nebraska; Chris Sununu of New Hampshire; Doug Burgum of North Dakota; Mike DeWine of Ohio; Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma; Henry McMaster of South Carolina; Kristi Noem of South Dakota; Bill Lee of Tennessee; Spencer Cox of Utah; Jim Justice of West Virginia; and Mark Gordon of Wyoming.
