Subject: Biden-Harris Failure to Secure the United States border
Description: Strongly condemning the Biden administration and its Border Czar, Kamala Harris, for failing to secure the United States border; affirms that the American people deserve elected officials who understand the gravity of the crisis at the border and who will execute the policies to fix the border crisis; and clearly and firmly states that the continuation of the Biden-Harris border policies would be disastrous for both the United States and the American people.
Since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office, there have been over 9.7 million illegal immigrant encounters nationwide, over 7.9 million of which took place at the United States southern border; and there have been roughly 2 million known "gotaways" who evaded the United States Border Patrol -- more than in the entire previous decade. Illegal immigrants with violent criminal histories have murdered innocent Americans and pose an existential threat to the safety and security of the American people. The cost of the Biden-Harris open-border policies is approximately $150.7 billion per year. In August 2022, Biden and his administration decided to make the border crisis significantly worse by formally ending former President Trump's successful Remain in Mexico program.
