WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) and more than 100 of his colleagues recently sent a letter to the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct a comprehensive review of the decisions by the Biden Administration that have led to the worst border crisis in United States history.

“We write to request that the Office of Inspector General for the DHS conduct a comprehensive review of the decisions by the Biden Administration that have led to the worst border crisis in United States history,” wrote the lawmakers. “To date, the Biden Administration has not meaningfully complied with congressional oversight of the 2021 border crisis. This lack of information hinders Congress’ ability to effectively legislate solutions to both fix the immediate crisis and to ensure that political considerations do not outweigh national security in the future. The Inspector General is best positioned to provide such apolitical oversight and report to Congress such findings.”

“Multiple sources have confirmed to Congress that the Biden Administration was warned by career professionals that the rapid implementation of several border and immigration policies would lead to a predictable surge at the border,” the lawmakers continued. “Our concern is that the Biden Administration proceeded to implement these policies despite the harm they would cause to our border and immigration system. Moreover, the Biden Administration did not take adequate steps to prepare for the resulting surge and as a result, a humanitarian crisis has developed.”
