Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) has pointed out that the Biden-Harris administration has introduced close to 300 executive orders in order to enact their mass immigration and open-border agenda.
Furthermore, the Louisiana Republican emphasized that all of this took place within Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s inaugural year in office.
“Reminder: The Biden-Harris White House wrote nearly 300 executive orders to open our border in just their FIRST YEAR in office,” Kennedy wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Senior officials within the Biden-Harris administration have made consistent efforts to conceal their involvement in the current illegal immigration issue at the U.S. southern border.
According to The National Pulse, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas attempted to deflect responsibility for Americans who have been killed by illegal immigrants released into the country by his agency during a recent interview.
In January 2022, a study from the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) revealed that President Biden had issued 296 executive actions on immigration during his first year.
According to MPI analysts Muzaffar Chishti and Jessica Bolter, these actions involved reversing or initiating the reversal of 89 policies from the Trump era that had limited the entry or release of undocumented immigrants into the country.
“Biden’s actions greatly narrowed the number of unauthorized immigrants vulnerable to arrest, detention, and removal, lifted some barriers to U.S. entry and accessing immigration benefits, and raised the refugee resettlement ceiling to 125,000,” MPI’s report states.
During the initial stages of the Biden-Harris administration, activists advocating for immigrant rights urged the White House to expedite the reversal of former President Donald J. Trump’s border security measures.
Despite this pressure, the push for extensive immigration reforms continued beyond the first year.
In January of this year, senior officials from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency engaged in talks with the Detention Watch Network, an activist group dedicated to eliminating immigration detention in the United States.
