“He’s not followed the laws of the land,” Moreno continued. “He’s allowed people to come in here, he’s put this country in jeopardy. We have no idea how many, hardened criminals and terrorists have come into our country. We have a number of what they’ve identified as being on a terror watch list, but as you know, there’s hundreds of thousands, if not millions who have been classified as ‘gotaways,’ people who we have no idea who they are.”

“5000 people a day is over 1 million illegals, 8500, which is what they’re saying what it would take to cut it off, is almost 3 million illegals a year,” Moreno defined.
“That’s an insane amount of people that are crossing into our country illegally, if they all wore the same shirt, we’d call that what it is, which is an invasion. We have to have it crystal clear to the rest of the world, there’s one way to come to America, the legal way, and we have to have a zero-tolerance policy for any illegal immigration and we actually have to reform our asylum laws to make certain that you can only cross into this country legally and if you cross illegally through a non designated port of entry, then you’re immediately returned and you forfeit your right for asylum.”
Moreno added, “I think one of the important elements that’s not been shared with the American public is Joe Biden has the ability to secure the border today with existing laws. Certainly, we have to reform asylum the way I just laid out but he has the ability to put an end to this illegal invasion of our country. He’s choosing not to do so, and Republicans should not be giving him the air cover during a presidential election year in which he can pretend that he’s actually doing something about a problem that he’s actually caused.”
