Democrats claim they are no longer for open borders. Yet they are now proposing to actually defund border security. Their proposal completely defunds Customs and Border Protection, including Border Patrol. Year over year, fentanyl deaths are down 24 percent. When you take overdoses of drug and fentanyl, that is down 24 percent because of the good work of CBP. But you want to defund that. Why? During the Biden administration, we had a record high of overdoses. Do you know what the American people said? They said: No more, no more. We are sick of the failed Biden border policies. We expect the people who are elected to represent us to actually do that. And there are moms and dads that are sitting around their kitchen table with a child who would not be here but for the courageous acts of CBP. But Democrats, today, say they want to defund them. Additionally, Democrats claim they are no longer the party of 'defund the police.' Yet, today, they actually came here and asked to defund our law enforcement officers--our law enforcement officers that do a multitude of things.
