House Republicans have emphasized the urgency of addressing the border crisis, linking it to the rampant spread of fentanyl and its deadly impact on American families. Representative Buddy Carter highlighted the daily fatalities caused by fentanyl, urging for the closure of the border to save lives. The Secure the Border Act (#HR2), passed by House Republicans last May, aims to enforce laws and mitigate the #BidenBorderCrisis by funding 22,000 border patrol agents. This legislation is part of the broader GOP strategy, encapsulated in their #CommitmentToAmerica, to ensure national safety and combat drug trafficking. Additionally, Montana law enforcement's record fentanyl seizures last year underscore the crisis's severity, with state officials calling on the Biden administration for more robust border security measures. Representatives and local law enforcement across states are advocating for zero tolerance towards illegal immigration and stressing the importance of securing the border to prevent the influx of dangerous drugs like fentanyl.
We must address the open border crisis and prevent dangerous drugs from entering our communities. Last week, the Kidd family joined me to share their story with the country on how fentanyl has already impacted families in our community. https://t.co/z6PgFrbVVh
Every state confronts Biden’s border crisis. Thanks to @butlersheriff, our prosecutor, and good judges for keeping our communities safe! There should be zero tolerance for illegal immigration. To secure the border, Congress must compel change - not fund more illegal immigration. https://t.co/ovEHt9qGKy
Montana law enforcement seized record amounts of fentanyl last year Knudsen said that while the state has increased resources to combat fentanyl, it's up to the Biden administration to secure the Southern border. Read more ⬇️ https://t.co/wD05i8n7vn
From the deadly border crisis to a crippled economy, families are paying the price of Biden's failures. @HouseGOP is fighting each day to deliver on our #CommitmentToAmerica and restore a strong economy, a safe nation, an accountable government, and a future built on freedom.
Last May, House Republicans passed #HR2 — our Secure the Border Act — to enforce our nation’s laws and end the #BidenBorderCrisis. Our legislation funds 22,000 border patrol agents to keep our families and communities safe from drug traffickers, terrorists, and criminals.
Fentanyl is killing Americans daily. Close the border to save American lives.
