How many more innocent lives need to be lost before Secretary Mayorkas and President Biden realize that securing our border is more than an immigration issue? It is a fundamental duty we owe to the American people. Since President Biden took office, over 7 million encounters have taken place on our southern border, and that number continues to climb at an unsettling rate, with roughly 10,000 additional crossings each day. The United States offers more legal immigration than anywhere in the world. The individuals entering illegally are not all coming with hopes of living out the American Dream. They are helping China bring more than 26,000 pounds of fentanyl across the border. They are trafficking an all-time high number of vulnerable women and children. They are known terrorists on the FBI watch list and more. U.S. taxpayers are the ones footing the bill to cover emergency care, housing, shelter, and more for these illegal immigrants. It is imperative the President and Senate pass the Secure the Border Act to fortify the safety of our country and protect our citizens. ____________________
