DENVER - Governor Polis released the following statement applauding the Biden-Harris administration for their actions to secure the border and address immigration in the absence of leadership from Congress.

“The Biden-Harris administration is making significant progress towards securing our border and addressing immigration despite former President Trump’s efforts to torpedo any meaningful border security investments to protect our country. The American people deserve a leader who will put the country over politics, and that’s what President Biden and his team are doing now. As a person who is data driven, the numbers show that President Biden’s policies are working even in the face of Congressional inaction. Since taking action, unlawful crossings at the Southern border have dropped by 55%. I continue to call on Republicans in Congress to stop blocking the border security bill,” said Governor Jared Polis.
