Crisis at the Border

The Crisis at the Border Continues

• It’s been 23 days of chaos since Joe Biden named Kamala Harris his “manager” for the border crisis they created.
  • Joe Biden has not visited the border.
  • Harris still hasn’t visited the border and has no plans to.
• This surge is unprecedented and Biden and Harris are doing nothing to solve this growing problem.
  • Since Harris was tapped as the crisis manager as many as 23,000 unpursued illegal migrants have escaped into the United States.
  • An estimated 1,000 migrants a day are illegally crossing the border without being pursued.
  • In March, 172,000 migrants were taken into custody for illegally crossing the border, “the busiest month along the Mexico border in nearly two decades.”
  • This includes nearly 19,000 unaccompanied migrant children, “the largest monthly number ever tallied.”
• Instead of working to stop this crisis, the Biden-Harris Administration has doubled down to appease their far-left base.
  • Biden ordered an unnecessary halt to border wall construction, literally throwing the border wide open.
  • Biden’s budget request seeks to eliminate all funding for the border wall, and would even cancel the use of unspent funds.
• Congressional Republicans are leading on this issue and taking the crisis seriously.
  • Nearly 70 Republican Members of Congress have visited the border in the past month - including almost 50 just in the past week.
  • Republican policy solutions, including those previously implemented during the Trump Administration, would go a long way in containing the border crisis.
• Make no mistake, Biden and Harris are to blame for the humanitarian crisis at the border. 
  • Migrants have cited Democrat policies repeatedly for why they are crossing the border - some have even worn Biden t-shirts.
• Each day Biden and Harris fail to act, this crisis only gets worse and drug smugglers and human traffickers continue to come into our country.
