NEW YORK/WASHINGTON, D.C. (TIP): “I support this critical step to fix the asylum system and speed up deportations. Now it’s time for the Republicans in congress to step up and pass right now laws to secure the border”, Congressman Tom Suozzi (NY-Congressional District 3) said in a statement. Congressman added: “ Pres. Biden has taken action – now the GOP needs to stop acting out. No more excuses. To those Republicans who now say it’s too little too late, the voters won’t be fooled. The Republicans in Congress have failed to act on the bipartisan Senate bill proposed earlier this year – their failure to act now is a cynical act of harming the country for their own political gain.

Stop the rhetoric and call a vote. Let’s secure the border and modernize legal immigration.”

Congressman Tom Suozzi is the Co-Chair of the Democrats for Border Security Task Force and a Member of the House Committee on Homeland Security. In May, Suozzi and Fitzpatrick wrote a letter to the President calling for him to restrict the abuse of the asylum process by cartels guiding migrants between ports of entry and expand the issuance of work permits for families with mixed immigration status.
