Huizenga for Congress

It is well past time for the Senate and the Biden Administration to implement the border reforms included in H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act. Restarting construction on the wall, ending the Biden Administration's catch-and-release policy, and reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy would help significantly improve security along our southern border.

Huizenga called for implementation of H.R. 2 border reforms, including restarting wall construction, ending catch-and-release, and reinstating Remain in Mexico.
