Under President Biden's watch in the past 2 years, we have seen the number of attempted entries by those on the terrorist watch list skyrocket to over 100 a year. With 1.5 million known got-aways reported by the Border Patrol, that number might even be higher. We have seen an increase in overdose deaths from the deadly fentanyl analogues smuggled across our borders. We have seen reports of public schools being used as holding facilities for migrants instead of being used for American students already suffering from historic learning loss. This follows President Biden's prolonged school shutdowns. All of this amounts to a pattern of failure brought on by the Biden administration's refusal to confront the crisis at our border head-on.
