Washington, D.C. - Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. has voiced his opposition to the Lankford-Murphy-Sinema immigration reform deal, stating that he cannot support the deal after carefully reviewing its provisions. Murphy made his position clear in a statement, saying, "I will not vote for a border package simply because it has been presented."

Murphy further criticized President Biden, accusing him of neglecting his constitutional obligation to protect the nation's borders and prioritizing his own politics over national security. He argued that the proposed bill still invites people to enter the country illegally, adding that the Democrats' efforts to pass a "border security" package are merely a last-ditch attempt to boost their declining poll numbers.

The congressman also pointed out the influence of far-left outside groups on the Democratic Party, claiming that they have pushed for open border policies that disregard common sense immigration measures. He emphasized that while he supports those who wish to emigrate to America for a better life and to contribute to society, it is evident that the country's lenient policies are being abused, leading to a state of siege. Murphy warned against the consequences of unfettered immigration by referring to the situation in Europe and stated, "To think that America will experience anything different is naive."

Murphy's rejection of the immigration reform deal highlights the contentious nature of the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies in the United States. The congressman's concerns about border security and the potential consequences of unrestricted immigration echo the sentiments of many who advocate for stricter immigration controls. As the issue continues to be a polarizing topic, it remains to be seen how Congress will address the complex challenges posed by immigration reform.
