Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) crafted a straightforward plan to end the catastrophic border crisis created by President Joe Biden.
The Colorado Congresswoman introduced the Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act Friday. The bill codifies many Donald Trump-era policies and might be the perfect contrast to the border policies offered by Biden during his State of the Union address to the nation the night before.
“On day one, the Biden Regime implemented their open-border policies that have destroyed countless American families and made our communities less safe,” Boebert told Breitbart News. “My Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act will codify President Trump’s proven border policies that reduced illegal immigration to record lows.
Boebert’s bill would end catch-and-release, restart border wall construction, prohibit federal funds for sanctuary cities, expedite the removal of illegal aliens, and restore Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. It would also prohibit the removal of border barriers constructed by states along the border to prevent unlawful crossings and end birthright citizenship.
Laken Riley’s murder last month, allegedly by a Venezuelan national, has ignited national fury over the horrific consequences of Biden’s border policies. Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released Riley’s accused killer, illegal alien Jose Antonio Ibarra of Venezuela, into the United States interior in September 2022. And after being apprehended in 2023 for additional crimes, Ibarra was released by a sanctuary city.
Republicans – and Riley’s family – have promoted a “say her name” campaign to force action against the border policies they say led to her death.
In a tense off-script moment during his Thursday night State of the Union speech, Biden responded to “say her name” shouts from Republicans with “Lincoln Riley” – appearing to mispronounce her name. “An innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. That’s right,” he said in a clearly off-script moment undermining his messaging. “But how many thousands of people have been killed by illegals?”
Biden has vacillated between claiming he does not have the authority to act unilaterally and threatening executive actions if Congress does not pass pro-migration open borders legislation. But in his first 100 days in office, President Biden took 94 executive actions to weaken America’s border security, including ending Remain in Mexico, stopping the construction of the border wall, and instituting catch-and-release.
Boebert says those deliberate actions created the crisis. “The Biden regime’s intentional negligence has handed operational control of our borders to the cartels, resulting in an unprecedented surge in the trafficking of women and children as well as deadly fentanyl,” she said. “We must close the border and end the invasion. The best way to do that is to build the wall and deport them all.”
The numbers support Boebert. Since Biden took office, there has been a 57 percent decrease in arrests of criminal aliens and a 67 percent decrease in deportations of criminal aliens. And Border Patrol has apprehended 336 individuals on the terror watch list.
But Democrats’ criticisms of Biden’s use of the term “illegal” describing Riley’s alleged killer reveals they are unlikely to be willing partners with Boebert and Republicans.

She must be doing something right.
