As of day 1,160 of President Biden's presidency, the U.S. southern border crisis continues to escalate, posing significant national security and humanitarian concerns. U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens has raised alarms over the 140,000 known 'gotaways' this fiscal year, underscoring the grave security risks from individuals whose identities and intentions remain unknown. Critics attribute the deteriorating situation to the Biden administration's 94 executive actions aimed at dismantling previously established border security measures, including the cessation of the border wall construction and the termination of the 'Remain in Mexico' policy. The crisis has been characterized by unprecedented illegal border crossings, with February recording 189,922 incidents, the highest for any February in history. Notably, the murders of Americans such as Ruby Garcia and Laken Riley, allegedly by illegal immigrants, have highlighted the dire consequences of the current border policies. Amidst growing criticism, there are urgent calls for bipartisan action, including the passage of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, which has languished on Senator Schumer's desk for over 320 days.
Saving American lives shouldn’t be a political issue. My FEND Off Fentanyl Act seeks to combat this crisis by targeting the China-Mexico illicit fentanyl supply chain. https://t.co/40lDjKpnp4
The House passed the Secure the Border Act on May 11, 2023. REAL border security has been sitting on Senator Schumer’s desk for 321 days. https://t.co/Fyy3UELmgq
Only the political Right knows about the Laken Riley tragedy. Media platforms won’t talk about this preventable murder of a beautiful young American by an illegal — so we MUST spread the message and stop this madness!

Just like Laken Riley, Ruby Garcia would be alive today if Biden cared at all about securing the US border. Full story here: https://t.co/7G3kSktxnx https://t.co/xzOs6SGDkm
During the first FY25 Financial Services and General Government hearing, I questioned the Biden Administration on how the President’s budget plans to address the fentanyl crisis in our country. Americans are dying every day due to this crisis, and we must combat it. https://t.co/fLdkED874z

Another completely avoidable illegal alien crime. REMINDER: Biden implemented 64+ direct actions to break our border and could reverse them all TOMORROW. And...

Today I sat down with @RenoPolice Chief Nance, Fire @ChiefDave_RFD, & Darcy Patterson — a local mom & advocate — to hear firsthand how the fentanyl crisis is hurting our communities. I’ll keep working in a bipartisan way to secure our border & stop the flow of illegal drugs. https://t.co/fawSqzjMmG

Fentanyl took the lives of over 4,000 Pennsylvanians last year alone. To put that in perspective, in the 20 years our troops were in Iraq and Afghanistan, less than 5,000 Americans were KIA. As PA's next Senator, I'll treat fentanyl like the national security crisis it is. https://t.co/HOtzbTWKBV
The head of Border Patrol is warning that the wide open border is a clear danger to America. The head of our FBI has given the same warning, repeatedly. The White House's refusal to enforce the law at the border is a willful choice to put Americans in danger. https://t.co/ha0nfWOJ50

Border security is national security. President Biden's failure to secure our borders is leaving our nation vulnerable to various threats, including the infiltration of terrorists and other malicious actors. https://t.co/8bJJNX2hph
On President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas' watch, there have been over 9 million border encounters nationwide–that's more illegal aliens entering this country than the entire population of New York City.
.@benshapiro exposes how the Biden administration's prioritization of "equity" is causing the fentanyl crisis today, killing thousands of Americans. “On April 1st, 2021, in year one of his presidency, Joe Biden submitted to Congress his drug policy priorities.

Every day that President Biden refuses to secure our border, our nation is vulnerable to terrorists, drug traffickers, and criminals. Our border patrol agents and our families deserve better. The Biden administration can end this crisis by enforcing our nation's laws. #IA04

How many more Americans have to die at the hands of illegal immigrants before President Biden takes the crisis at the border seriously? This HAS to stop. We need to secure the border.
The Biden administration created the border crisis. Their border crisis is turning every state into a border state. Joe Biden could secure our border today. But he won't do it. https://t.co/vcyGcZd5gC

Crushing inflation. Open borders. Dangerous crime. This is Joe Biden’s America.
There are new tragedies just like this one every day. The House passed H.R.2, the strongest border bill in history, a year ago. Schumer and Biden could pass H.R.2 and sign it today to protect American families, but they choose not to. May this young woman rest in peace. https://t.co/XFMWlXaovM
9.2 MILLION illegal immigrants crossed the southern border since President Biden stopped construction of the border wall, ended the Remain in Mexico policy, & halted enforcement of our immigration laws. Every one of these policies must be reinstated to get that number to zero.

President Biden could secure our border TODAY: 1. Reinstate Remain in Mexico 2. Restart border wall construction 3. End catch & release 4. End Parole abuses 5. Expand the use of expedited removal https://t.co/mHEtr7Yk6I
From terminating the Remain in Mexico policy, to reinstating catch-and-release and flying over 320,000 migrants into our communities, Biden has created this crisis at every turn.
In February, another 140,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. President Biden has the power to build the border wall, end "catch-and-release" policies, and restore "Remain in Mexico" to secure our border. It's shameful that he refuses.
OPEN BORDER: Every single day an illegal immigrant allowed into the US under Biden's open border policy kills an innocent American. The rate of dangerous illegals entering the US is accelerating. Four more years of Biden will destroy our republic. https://t.co/WMLLIFsrvM
Nearly a month ago, Biden visited the southern border for a photo-op. During his 19 minute visit, he said “it’s time to act” on the #BorderCrisis. February numbers should be yet ANOTHER wake-up call. Biden has the power to end this crisis TODAY. He continuously chooses not to.
On DAY 1, Biden began implementing 64+ direct actions to reverse SUCCESSFUL Trump border policy. It's now DAY 1,160 & we're facing the worst humanitarian & nat-sec crisis in recent memory.
