U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is criticizing President Joe Biden’s new Executive Order that would effectively give amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants currently in the U.S.
Joe Biden signed 94 executive actions in his first 100 days in office intentionally DESTROYING our borders.
We don’t need mass amnesty for the MILLIONS of illegals he has allowed in.
We need to SECURE THE BORDER. https://t.co/FJrd3laBB9

The president announced the plan Tuesday that will fast track a path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who’ve been living in the country illegally for more than 10 years and married a U.S. citizen.
Tuberville reacted to the new Biden administration policy Tuesday on Fox Business.
“[T]his has been a complete nightmare for the American people, all American citizens across the country,” Tuberville said. “There’s no border states anymore…it’s a catastrophe and is something that should be addressed immediately. We’re worried more about other countries and we are about our country. I’ve been down there several times. I feel really bad for border patrol or ICE agents, people that are supposed to be able to do what they do, and control the border. But it’s just it’s out of control.”
The senator said he supports former President Trump’s plan of mass deportations if he’s elected in November.
“I’ve talked to President Trump several times about this he is all for getting elected and in the first thing to start deporting people,” he explained. “The Democrats want to control amnesty or illegal voting by illegal immigrants. But President Trump is all for sending people home. He’s exactly right. Again, the American people don’t deserve what they have been dealt, the hand they’ve been dealt from the Biden administration for the last three and a half years. So this is the number one issue going into this election. I don’t care if Biden runs or somebody runs on the Democratic side. President Trump knows he has to go after this border issue because this could bring our country to its knees quicker than anything else.”
Tuberville emphasized that thinks this is all about trying to create more Democrat voters.
“The Democrats are just reaching for straws, and this is just one way they can get as many people registered as possible,” he argued. “And there’s going to be a lot of people that’s are going to vote that are illegal in this election. But hopefully people understand what’s going on. I think President Trump’s going to get a lot of Democratic vote out of this because people are sick and tired of the nonsense and the illegality of what the Democrats are doing.”
