Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Supports the "Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act"

Statement

Issues: Immigration

This week, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) announced its support for Congressman Biggs' border security bill, the Fund and Complete the Border Wall Act. FAIR's endorsement comes after robust support for the legislation from the National Border Patrol Council, Angel Families, and NumbersUSA. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:

"I'm grateful for FAIR's staunch support for my bill. FAIR correctly identifies that the mandate from the 2016 election was to build the border wall and secure our southern border with Mexico. Inexplicably, after almost two years, the wall has not been fully funded or built. Meanwhile, Congress continues to push this responsibility off to a future date with each spending bill. It's time for us to keep our promises to the American people to end illegal immigration. I again call on my colleagues to cosponsor this legislation and bring it to the floor for a vote."
