As President Joe Biden is expected to announce an executive action that will mark the most aggressive plan to crackdown immigration through the southern border and Texas border mayors travel to DC to show their support, Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights (RFK) has released a statement against the current administration's immigration plans. The statement, available on the organization's website, begins as follows:
