Prescott, AZ – Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement after the Biden regime released new data showing that a record 233,740 illegal aliens illegally crossed the southern border in November 2022, making it the worst November on record.

“On Christmas weekend and mere hours after Congress shamelessly passed the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill sending billions of dollars to foreign countries for border security, the Biden regime announced that 233,740 illegals crossed our border last month.  To put this into perspective, that is enough lawbreakers to fill State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, more than 3.5 times.  

Things are only going to get worse.  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) projects 14,000 illegals per day, or 420,000 per month, will soon cross the southern border once Title 42 orders expire. 

In 2018, nearly 30 million illegal aliens were living in the United States, according to a study conducted by Yale University.  Since Biden took office, DHS reports another five million lawbreakers have crossed into our country bringing the total number of illegals currently living in America to over 35 million.

That number is likely much higher when factoring in chain migration, “gotaways” and the significant undercounting of illegal aliens.  Sadly, Senate democrats and even some Republicans are renewing their calls to grant amnesty to millions of people living in America illegally.  This is lunacy.  Amnesty only serves to encourage illegals to stay in the United States while simultaneously green lighting more to cross our southern border.

It’s abundantly clear that Joe Biden and democrats in Congress are intent on allowing as many illegal aliens as possible into our country.  Rather than considering amnesty legislation for lawbreakers, Republicans in Congress must fight to secure our border and it begins with impeaching Department of Homeland Secretary Mayorkas for his failures to secure the border and protect Americans,” concluded Congressman Gosar.
