Ernst Blames Biden's Border Policies for Hotel Cancellations Ahead of Army-Navy Game

The Iowa senator argues that the displacement of military families due to the administration's immigration policies could impact military recruitment.

• Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) criticizes the Biden administration for its border policies, linking them to the cancellation of hotel reservations for veterans attending the Army-Navy football game due to an influx of immigrants.
• Ernst blames the administration for 'shipping illegal immigrants across the country to sanctuary cities at taxpayers’ expense', causing displacement of military families.
• Massachusetts's right-to-shelter law allows for the use of hotels to house immigrants, leading to the cancellation of at least 70 reservations in Foxborough, where the game is being held.
• Ernst, an Army veteran and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, argues that the Army-Navy game is a significant event for military families and potential future servicemembers, and these cancellations could impact military recruitment.
• Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey (D-MA) declared a state of emergency in August due to the surge in immigrant housing demand, which increased from 25 families per day in March 2022 to over 100 per day by July 2023.
