House Republicans passed H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, over 369 days ago, aiming to address the border crisis by enhancing security measures. However, Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Chuck Schumer, have yet to act on the bill. Since the bill's passage, there have been over 2.1 million illegal immigrant encounters at the southern border, 119 individuals on the terrorist watchlist attempting to cross, 32,975 with criminal convictions or outstanding warrants, and 17,000 pounds of fentanyl seized, enough to kill 3.8 billion people. The delay in passing H.R. 2 has led to increased criticism from Republicans, who argue that the Biden Administration's border policies have exacerbated the crisis, resulting in a significant rise in illegal crossings and national security threats.
Via @BillMelugin_ there have been more known gotaways illegally entering the US during @JoeBiden's term (1.66M) than in the previous 11 years from 2010 to 2020 (1.44M). #BorderDiaster #BorderCrisis https://t.co/LxbULTTvLU

New data on migrant "gotaways" shows a big increase during Biden administration. | By @HannaSeariac https://t.co/fgOz0RC31R
Senate Democrats negotiated the toughest bipartisan border security bill in a generation with Republicans. Then Republicans blocked it. You need to watch @ChrisMurphyCT explain why. https://t.co/os1DWn8aGD
Republicans had the chance to address border security. And they walked away because Donald Trump told them to. This bipartisan bill would fix our broken asylum system, stop the flow of deadly fentanyl, and more. https://t.co/ruhKR5fvZu
The Biden Administration is lying to the American people claiming Joe’s done more than President Trump to secure our border. FALSE. 1.6 million gotaways in just the past THREE years, that’s higher than 2010-2020 combined! https://t.co/20toIQD7r3
A year ago today, the House sent H.R. 2 to the Senate. Senate Democrats continue to stall this legislation, leaving the border wide open. We should vote on H.R. 2 and close the border TODAY.
NOW: @ChrisMurphyCT's bringing @SenateDems to the floor to speak on fixing the border When the bipartisan Senate border bill came out—the GOP knew how strong it was But Trump told MAGA Republicans to kill it for his political gain Dems haven't walked away—We stand ready to act
SCHUMER on the floor: "We hope ... that our colleagues are willing to join us" to secure the border and pass the bipartisan border bill that was rejected earlier this year.
"...there were more gotaways in FY21-23 (1.6 million) than the decade of FY 2010 and FY 2020 (1.4 million)..." Joe Biden has spent his presidency deliberately opening America's borders to threats from around the world. https://t.co/iXhieiADYL
🚨JUST IN🚨 There were 179,725 illegal border crossings in April. Joe Biden’s border crisis is never-ending. Democrats have allowed OVER 9.65 MILLION illegal immigrants into our country since Biden took office. https://t.co/5Dv06KEbe7
Since Joe Biden was sworn into office more than one million illegal immigrants have avoided apprehension and snuck into our country. We have no idea who they are or where they are. Most are here to find a better life, but let's be clear - this is a national security threat. https://t.co/LHFWNTIjLv
Over 1.6M reported KNOWN gotaways in the last 3 years is unprecedented & concerning as we do not know who has entered the country illegally. The data is irrefutable & reflects the serious implications to public safety & national security. Through #OperationLoneStar, @TxDPS has… https://t.co/ioClj9sSxR https://t.co/CXZRZnwKaE
The numbers don’t lie. President Biden has opened the floodgates for a 10-million-person invasion across our southern border that risks Americans’ safety and our national security. https://t.co/aPICX585ay
As we continue our work to crack down on fentanyl trafficking, my ANTI Drugs Act is an important next step towards combatting this drug epidemic and boosting border security. I'm proud to have some of the nation's leading public safety organizations backing this bipartisan bill.
🚨JUST IN🚨 There were 247,837 illegal border crossings in April. Joe Biden’s border crisis is never-ending. Democrats have allowed OVER 9.7 MILLION illegal immigrants into our country since Biden took office. https://t.co/yiVmdC8cur

98 days ago, Republicans had the chance to put action behind their words, protect our national security, and effectively address the problems at the border. Instead they killed the bill. Via @SenStabenow https://t.co/O24EX23i8R
Gotaways have EXPLODED under the failed leadership of Pres. Biden. We don’t know WHO is crossing the border, WHAT their intentions are, or WHERE they are. This is a calculated invasion, and the Biden Administration is complicit. https://t.co/8NfPIAvHcp
The number of KNOWN gotaways at the Southern Border has SKYROCKETED because of Joe Biden’s failed Far Left open border policies. It is time to return to President Trump’s border security policies that successfully kept our communities safe. https://t.co/wQEKEp5YJV
The numbers don’t lie. No amount of spin can hide from the fact Joe Biden is allowing this INVASION. https://t.co/2GsCPd2ZHf
The most imminent threat to our national security is President Biden’s self-inflicted border crisis. Not only has he created this unmitigated disaster, but he’s actively obstructing states from doing what he refuses to do – secure our border. On his watch, there have been more… https://t.co/etLGZ1c4O3
On Joe Biden’s watch, more known GOTAWAYS have infiltrated our country than the populations of nearly a dozen different states… This is an invasion of historic proportions. https://t.co/TFcoL1aQdq

WOW...the 1.6 million gotaways under Joe Biden speak for themselves. He has compromised the safety of every American citizen. Gotaways - Individuals spotted but never caught. 1.6 million gotaways roaming our neighborhoods. America, it's time to wake up. https://t.co/e8BN3UqPSh
Sen. Murphy says right as bipartisan border deal was introduced there were 30-35 GOP votes in play “24 hours later there were four” Says he’s leaning on Schumer for another try: “I think we should bring this bill back up for a vote”
Joe Biden has allowed more gotways to cross our border in 3 years than the previous 10 years COMBINED. America can’t afford another four years of his failed presidency. https://t.co/l6XvSzJLpD

Senate Dems want to pass their “border” bill. Remember, this a bill that doesn’t secure the border. It could easily be manipulated by the Biden administration to make the border crisis even worse. Biden doesn’t need new legislation to fix the border. 🧵
Over 1.6 million known “gotaways” at the border under Biden - all time record by a mile - and now he wants to give illegals federal ID cards? This needs to stop. https://t.co/hvq1ZBpwoW
It’s been 98 days since Donald Trump and the Republicans blocked the strongest, most comprehensive border security bill in a generation. And they still don’t have any plan except exploiting the border for Trump’s political gain.

3,999 illegal aliens crossing into the United States per day would amount to nearly 1.5 million illegal crossings per year. That totally arbitrary number is an acceptable level of invasion to Joe Biden. https://t.co/7iPiUmaNvK
We had the strongest border security bill in decades ready to go here in the Senate, with a lot of support from Republicans, until Donald Trump killed it to keep the issue alive on the campaign trail. “Please, blame it on me.” —Donald Trump
President Biden & Secretary Mayorkas have abjectly failed to secure our nation's borders. Since they entered office, more illegal immigrants snuck into our country than during the entire previous decade. New reports continue to reveal the depths of their dereliction of duty. ⬇️ https://t.co/uE4ooQwc6q
EXCLUSIVE: Internal CBP data I obtained via FOIA request reveals 13 years of known gotaways data at the border, showing gotaways have *exploded* under the Biden admin compared to the Trump & Obama years. This is the first time these numbers have ever been revealed. FY2010… https://t.co/LUQU5v87b2
Reminder: there is only one border security bill that’s passed out of either chamber of Congress recently and that’s H.R. 2. If Biden and other Democrats wanted to fix the border crisis, they’d call for the Senate to pass it. But they don’t want the border crisis fixed.
Fox News reports CBP encountered 4,900 migrants (and released 2,000) on 04/13, calling it "remarkably low" for the Biden admin. That's still 1.7 MILLION encounters in a year. 4,900 is not a victory lap, and releasing 2,000 illegal aliens into the U.S. isn't border security.
Pres. Biden's refusal to secure the border is a national security crisis. No one knows that better than law enforcement. As the Biden Admin continues its cycle of self-destruction, we must do everything we can to support the men & women on the frontlines of this catastrophe. https://t.co/Z75n2gtKTR

Trump and the GOP blocked the strongest, most comprehensive border security bill we've seen in a generation. But @POTUS is taking action to secure our border—he’s begun a series of administrative actions to go after bad actors in Central America and use executive branch powers.
It's been 369 days since the Secure the Border Act, H.R. 2, passed the House and was sent to the Senate for a vote. Waiting on you... https://t.co/79A2pfpGz1
The fact that 4,900 illegal aliens crossing our border in one day is considered "low" under the Biden Administration is OUTRAGEOUS. https://t.co/odjd4ehDcb
Real border security is in the Secure the Border Act, which has been sitting on Senator Schumer’s desk for 369 days. The Senate’s border bill would have allowed about 3 million illegal crossings per year and made the border crisis worse🧵 https://t.co/UgQrNRT1lR https://t.co/VI2NHMX3G1
It’s been 369 days since the House passed H.R. 2. Washington Democrats refuse to take up our bill & the border remains wide open while crime, human trafficking, & fentanyl pour in. It’s time for the White House & Senate Dems to work with @HouseGOP to close the border for good.
It’s been 97 days since Donald Trump and the Republicans blocked the strongest, most comprehensive border security bill in a generation. And they still don’t have any plan except exploiting the border for Trump’s political gain.
The Senate MUST pass H.R. 2 and STOP the flow of illicit fentanyl coming across our southern border.
American lives are at risk because of the Biden Border Crisis. We must secure our southern border IMMEDIATELY. https://t.co/Qs3Tb2l1VK
The Republican-led House passed the Secure the Border Act a year ago. Meanwhile, the Democrat-led Senate seems perfectly fine doing nothing to secure our border from terrorists. https://t.co/J8xUBh9AIo
Since @HouseGOP did their job and sent #HR2 to the Senate, 17,000 pounds of fentanyl have been seized at the border - enough to kill 3.8 billion. For 1 year, the Senate and radical Democrats have ignored the solution sitting in front of them. Americans cannot afford to wait.
Sen. Schumer refuses to act on H.R.2, which the House passed a year ago. Since then we have seen: - 2.1 million+ encounters at the southern border - 17k pounds of fentanyl seized - 119 terrorist watchlist individuals attempt to enter the US The Senate needs to pass H.R. 2 now.
House Republicans passed the strongest border security package over a year ago. 211 House Democrats voted against it. Chuck Schumer refuses to consider it. Joe Biden could fix the border crisis he created with a stroke of a pen but refuses. Democrats own the border crisis.
With every passing day of Biden’s disastrous border policy, human traffickers and criminals are getting closer to you and your families. Close the border now! https://t.co/YysC6ikVri
It's been one year since the House passed H.R. 2—a bill that would effectually secure the border and protect American families from foreign criminals. The cartels are grateful to @SenSchumer's Senate for refusing to act. https://t.co/zpeRV92Xcq
Biden's open borders and America's Last policies embolden and encourage foreigners from across the world to UNLAWFULLY enter our country. This is a national security threat. Biden must address this lawlessness by closing the border IMMEDIATELY! https://t.co/22ck3gDrQG
Senate Democrats are trying to sell passive and hollow cries for border security to the American people—while actively ignoring the REAL border security bill that has been waiting for them to vote on for a YEAR. https://t.co/8bq8vcsf5e
