Gov. Noem and Colleagues Oppose Biden's Border Policies

Press Release

"The crisis at the southern border extends to every state. As a result of [President Biden's] policies which incentivize illegal immigration, our states are carrying the burden of both the years-long surge in illegal border crossing and cartels' coordinated trafficking of drugs and human beings. States are on the front lines…As governors, we call on [President Biden] to provide honest, accurate, detailed information on where the migrants admitted at the southern border are being relocated in the United States, in addition to comprehensive data on asylum claim timelines and qualification rates, and successful deportations.

[The Biden] Administration can no longer ignore simple facts that threated our citizens' public safety and strain their public resources…Though we remain committed to addressing these issues, states cannot afford to respond to a challenge of such magnitude while the federal government continues to turn a blind eye. As we have made clear repeatedly, every state is now a border state."
