Walters Urges Congress to Shut Down Border

“Do not sell out our conservative Republican principles to Joe Biden”

Oklahoma City, Okla – State Superintendent Ryan Walters has released a letter to the Oklahoma Congressional delegation urging immediate Congressional action to shut down the southern border and urged Republicans not to enable the failed Biden border policy.

Excerpts from the letter:

“Oklahoma cannot afford to have conservative values sacrificed in order to make a deal at the border. In order to protect Oklahoma’s students, any legislation has to sufficiently protect the southern border from the surge of fentanyl and illegal immigrants, and not give in to the Biden agenda on immigration that has wreaked havoc on our country. It is disappointing that Oklahoma’s own Senator Lankford authored the horrendous immigration compromise legislation, and I hope that no future legislation gives away as much to President Biden as that bill did.

For the sake of the safety and success of the students of Oklahoma, I urge you to take immediate action to shut down the border to the surge of illegal immigrants and fentanyl that endangers our communities and our schools.

Do not sell out our conservative Republican principles to Joe Biden. No amnesty, no exceptions to shutting the border down.”
