U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to travel to Vienna for a U.N. Commission meeting on narcotic drugs before heading to Seoul and the Philippines. Blinken aims to address the synthetic drug crisis, including fentanyl, and strengthen international cooperation on border security and immigration issues. Bipartisan efforts are emphasized in addressing these critical issues.
We have consensus on ways to fix our broken immigration system, yet we don't see progress because of political games. That's why I'm proud to stand with Democrats for Border Security in calling for a bipartisan path forward. From @13WREX ⬇️ https://t.co/bFqggmCIIx
Fentanyl crisis will spread globally, Sec. of State Blinken says : @NPR https://t.co/KY7lXGTkVE
And onward from Vienna to Seoul, after Blinken spoke at a UN conference aimed at targeting illicit synthetic drugs, and alongside the Austrian foreign minister. Long flight ahead. https://t.co/mJVn7Boiau
How many more Americans must die from fentanyl poisoning before Joe Biden restores President Trump’s policies and closes the border? Every day we are losing ~200 Americans to this deadly drug as a result of his failure to act.
If we want to change the trajectory of this crisis, there is only one way to succeed, and that’s together. - @SecBlinken on addressing the threats posed by synthetic drugs https://t.co/1xsnw0FE2O
Collaboration with government & local leaders is key to tackling the fentanyl crisis. I joined Wisconsin law enforcement & public safety leaders today in Milwaukee to discuss our work to fight this crisis & keep Wisconsin safe. https://t.co/2AkBYE3buP
How many Americans must die due to illicit fentanyl poisoning for @POTUS to secure our border? Every day we lose 200 American due to his inaction. This is unacceptable.
I came to Congress to be an independent voice and find bipartisan solutions. It's why I introduced a bill with @RepLCD to secure our borders and support our allies. Tune in to @KGWStraightTalk at 7 PM tonight, or 6:30 PM Saturday and Sunday to hear how we plan to get this done. https://t.co/pAd8KkTMap
We need to get ahead of the fentanyl and synthetic drug crisis, and we can’t do it alone. That’s why we’re working with state and local partners to end this crisis. https://t.co/6Bg7eX7E9s
How many more innocents will you allow to suffer under your failed border policies, Mr. Biden? https://t.co/bmNZZn6U2M
Good to meet with UNODC Executive Director Waly and thank her for her leadership in addressing fentanyl and other illicitly manufactured synthetic drugs issues that are fueling the public health crisis both in communities across the United States and around the globe. https://t.co/3EjKOuU8Cl
Are you urging @SenSchumer to take up H.R. 2, Secure the Border Act, passed by the House last May? https://t.co/KanDg4Gont
Joined today’s @UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs because addressing the synthetic drugs crisis, including fentanyl, is critical to the security, prosperity, and health of the American people. The time to address this crisis is now. And there is only one way to succeed: together. https://t.co/oUr8DLyslw
Every day Americans are put in danger by Biden’s dangerous open border policies. When will enough be enough for the Biden Administration? https://t.co/gCeJ63aCii
Letting people waltz right into our country is the last thing we should be doing. Yet that’s the exact thing happening under Biden’s America Last agenda. How many more tragedies have to occur for this president to realize his border policies are reckless and dangerous? https://t.co/KoVPfuCKfn
I talk to House Republicans every day who agree with me that we need to fix our broken immigration system. American families need real solutions like the bipartisan border security deal in the Senate. Far-right leadership must let us vote on this critical legislation.
We've got to address America's fentanyl crisis before it's too late. But we can't forget that 95% of fentanyl coming into this country comes through legal ports of entry by US citizens. We must pass comprehensive border reform that addresses this reality. https://t.co/aGwUf4uO5Y
Blinken calls for closer global cooperation on tackling synthetic drugs https://t.co/0H7Fyz5jIM https://t.co/fcuAVWwUrA
The US is a nation of immigrants & laws—we must build a system that reflects our values, enforces the law, & treats immigrants with dignity. Fixing our broken system will require bipartisan compromise. That’s what I’m working towards on @NewDemCoalition. https://t.co/8edd4esr1D
.@SecBlinken holds a joint press availability with Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg in Vienna, Austria. https://t.co/LiAeWCwOD7 https://t.co/pj5ZnAz2oj
Met US Secretary of State @SecBlinken today at the UN in Vienna discussing our shared work to combat synthetic opioids https://t.co/kr1Ex5rcJT
Glad to join @RepCuellar and @RepTomSuozzi to launch the Democrats for Border Security Task Force. I look forward to working together to advance common-sense solutions to address border security and our broken immigration system. https://t.co/ftHj8A4wyY

This week, I joined my colleagues on the Democrats for Border Security Task Force to discuss urgent matters at our southwest border. If we want to tackle our pressing border issues, then @SpeakerJohnson must bring the bipartisan, Senate border security bill to the House floor. https://t.co/9mOs5YWm9r
US To Urge Global Action On Fentanyl Amid Synthetic Drug Crisis https://t.co/t8ra72wdga https://t.co/86Xcz9WWye
To effectively protect our people from threats like synthetic drugs, we are working together with the international community. This week, @SecBlinken is joining the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Austria to mount a unified response to this global public health crisis. https://t.co/dEw2kw2nNf
We need bipartisan unity to tackle the fentanyl crisis and strengthen border security. It's time for action, not just talk. https://t.co/80DJg5ewwv
And we're off shortly with @SecBlinken to Vienna, for a UN conference on synthetic drugs/fentanyl, before flying onto Seoul and then the Philippines. https://t.co/a8NCZmz8ao
Congress must fix our broken border and immigration system. Period. But instead of solving problems, D.C. Republicans rejected a border deal—all to give Trump something to campaign on. Patriotism means putting country over party. I’m ready to do my part. https://t.co/mKRp29B19z
.@SecBlinken will travel to Austria, the Republic of Korea, and the Philippines March 14-20, where he will attend the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, lead the U.S. delegation to the third Summit for Democracy, and deepen the U.S.-Philippine alliance. https://t.co/aqN1eSV7c1
As a member of @NewDemCoalition and @ProbSolveCaucus, I've been pushing since day one in office to fix our broken immigration system. The path forward is only possible if we work in a bipartisan manner. More from my interview with @connellmcshane on @NewsNation. ⬇️ https://t.co/dGYdBFEJet
Democrats know the border is a huge liability for them. So this week, they formed a "Democrats for Border Security" task force. They said they wanted to "redefine the party on immigration." Well...more than half of that "task force" just voted against the resolution below. https://t.co/85pjcLe5Nv https://t.co/dCdwdPR3yR
The Biden border invasion is willfully being allowed to continue to benefit his party’s political gain. How many more innocent Americans must we lose before Biden wakes up?!? We must SECURE THE BORDER NOW! https://t.co/kw57a3ppt9
Enough is enough. It’s time for Congress to support meaningful, bipartisan immigration solutions so we can all thrive together! https://t.co/JLo3PE5rqN
Fixing our broken immigration system is not a left or right issue. Which is why I was proud to stand with House Democrats for Border Security to call for a bipartisan path forward that secures our Southern border and streamlines the process for those who follow the law. https://t.co/eiLHziG9q1
We all know that any border security legislation must be bipartisan. That’s why I’m calling on all my colleagues & far-right leadership to show the courage we need to address an issue that has affected so many families across this country, our national security, and our economy. https://t.co/UG1YZ0lqPk
