Congressman Good Introduces the Close Biden's Open Border Act

February 7, 2022

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representative Bob Good (VA-05) introduced 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 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.

“When Joe Biden took office, he reversed effective Trump-initiated border policies including wall construction. President Biden also promised amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, and allowed over 2 million illegal aliens to enter this country, that we know of, in his first year in office,” said Rep. Good (VA-05) “It is time to put America first and ensure that taxpayer money is prioritized toward keeping Americans safe. This legislation would ensure we finish the construction on the Border Wall, and do so with a surplus, while saving American taxpayers money in the process.” 

"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.

Last week, the House Freedom Caucus held a hearing on the ongoing Biden Border Crisis. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, multiple U.N. funded non-profits are coaching illegal aliens on how to “recover repressed memories” to ensure that they clear initial asylum screening. Currently, the U.S. contributes roughly $11 billion taxpayer dollars annually to the U.N.
