Rep. Barry Moore backs bill redirecting U.N. funds to border wall

Statement

Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) has co-sponsored the Close Biden's Open Border Act, which would freeze funding designated for the United Nations (U.N.) for two years and redirect the money towards the completion of the wall on our Southern border. This commonsense solution responds to the recently revealed efforts by the U.N. to effectively increase the flow of migrants by "teaching" them how to seek asylum.

"President Biden's first mistake in office was halting the construction of the border wall -- weakening a key tool used to combat illegal entry," said Rep. Barry Moore. "Since then, our border has been overrun by illegal immigrants and the drug cartels, leaving our border patrol agents overwhelmed and understaffed. It is time to close the border and protect our communities. Thank you to my friend Bob Good for introducing this legislation that would ensure we finish the construction on the border wall while spending American taxpayer money more responsibly."

"Recent reports have indicated that the United Nations is actively assisting and encouraging the surge of illegal aliens at the U.S. border. If the U.N. insists on using its funds to destabilize the integrity of our borders, it's only reasonable that we use our share of U.N. contributions for our own border security. We thank Congressman Good for his continued commitment to securing our border and ending illegal immigration," said Rosemary Jenks, Director of Government Relations, NumbersUSA.
