WASHINGTON, D.C. – A bill that would stop President Joe Biden from closing ports of entry has been introduced by U.S. Senators Pete Ricketts and Ted Cruz.
According to Ricketts’ Office, the Keeping International Land Ports of Entry Open Act would stop the Biden administration from closing international land ports at the southern border, negatively impacting American commerce.
The legislation comes after the Biden administration closed two rail crossings at the southern border in December to assist with processing illegal aliens.
Ricketts said they can’t allow American consumers, businesses, and producers to continue paying the price for President Biden’s refusal to secure the border. The decision to shut down train traffic in December cost $250 million in commerce per day.
