On the recordNovember 28, 2023
In the past week, the Tucson, Arizona, sector of our southern border has encountered over 2,000 illegal immigrants each and every day. This crisis has pulled in Border Patrol resources, including highly trained BORTAC units to confront the surge of illegal immigrants from across the southwest. This has left dangerous gaps in our border security for cartels to exploit, smuggling deadly drugs like cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl into the United States. Now, after repealing Trump's remain in Mexico policy, the Biden administration is attempting to use public lands and national parks to house illegal immigrants. This policy shift is a failure, and it is a failure that will continue to have immediate and negative consequences for so many American communities. Places like the Gateway National Recreational area in New Jersey should not be used to house illegal immigrants who have been allowed by President Biden to remain in America for far too long. Our communities cannot afford to continue down this treacherous path. It is time for Congress to pass legislation that prevents our public lands from being used to support the crisis that President Biden has failed to address with our failed ability to maintain the sovereignty of our country by making sure that all of our borders are secure. ____________________
