"American taxpayers will be forced to foot the bill for the overwhelming costs of amnesty. Under current law, once 11 million illegal immigrants receive probationary status, they will immediately have access to federal benefits like Social Security and Obamacare coverage. If we thought we had a problem with government spending before, just wait." — Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas
"We are allowing the flow of drugs, we are allowing the flow of criminals into the country. I'm from Lancaster County, 2000 miles from the border. We have hundreds of fentanyl deaths in our region. It's a real problem that we have in every single city. Every single area of the country really has been affected by the Biden administration's policy on the border." — Rep. Lloyd Smucker, R-Pa.
The Biden administration's southern border policy has been disastrous. From loopholes letting migrants flood in to misguided amnesty plans, President Joe Biden's policies are putting our economy, safety, and national security at risk.
Democrats are allowing fentanyl killings, future terrorism, and sex trafficking into our country. The massive influx of military-age males crossing our borders raises serious questions about their purpose here.
By neglecting our borders, Democrats risk another 9/11. They care little about criminals who commit murder and make our streets unsafe, as a result of their liberal philosophies and resultant policies.
All Democrats care about is elite power, money, and greater control as they desperately flail in failed leadership.
The House Budget Committee held a hearing titled "The Cost of the Border Crisis." The true cost of allowing illegal migrants into America ranges between $150 billion and $400 billion.
Unsecured borders compromise our entire influence as a world leader. We need to restore order and bring back strong leadership in the 2024 elections.
Biden's much-touted pre-election border "shutdown" is a desperate, hollow, loophole-ridden mess. His policy permits but doesn't require curbs when more than 2,500 migrants cross the border daily.
This adds roughly 910,000 illegal migrants per year on top of the 1 million legal immigrants and 750,000 temporary workers already allowed annually.
Exemptions in Biden's plan are already delivering at least 85,000 monthly border-crossing migrants without congressional approval. In 2023 alone, about 670,000 migrants sneaked across Homeland Security Director Alejandro Mayorkas' mostly open border.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Patrick Lechleitner admitted it's "quite common" for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to have "no information" on these individuals.
Adding insanity to insult, Biden's plan offers work permits and deportation protections to 1.1 million unauthorized immigrants who have lived in America for at least 10 years and are married to U.S. citizens.
Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., called this amnesty plan a move that "will invite more chaos." The executive order immediately was called unconstitutional, and lawmakers are calling for its revokation.
Biden's "Parole in Place" proposal opens a pathway to permanent legal status and U.S. citizenship by removing an obstacle that prevents those who entered America illegally from obtaining green cards "without leaving the country." Another Biden plan streamlines the process for 530,000 so-called Dreamers and other undocumented immigrants.
Biden is requesting waivers for temporary visas including H-1B visas for highly skilled workers. His blatant vote-buying scheme is an abuse of power.
Biden's massive society-diluting cadre of illegal migrants is already bringing severe consequences.
Former President Donald Trump was ridiculed for calling illegal migrants rapists and murderers, yet rapes and murders are increasing nationwide. Migrants freed into America are often untraceable, leading to increased crime rates including violent crimes.
A 13-year-old girl in a New York City park was one of many youths allegedly recently assaulted by an illegal migrant. This darkness spreads like a fog from the South to the North and then across our nation.
The economic burden is staggering. Crime, drugs, labor, safety nets, and general society are all at the breaking point. Human-trafficking cartels exploit lax border security, further straining resources meant to put legal citizens first.
While Thomas Paine said, "The United States should be an asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty," it should not be a sanctuary for those who exploit our systems and threaten our safety.
Congressionally funded fentanyl scanners remain unused due to the administration's negligence. To maintain control, power, and money, leftists would destroy our culture rather than be led by conservatives.
Trump's zero-tolerance approach to border security was clear and effective. Trump forced reductions in illegal crossings and focused on law and order.
He prioritized American safety and sovereignty. "Without borders, we don't have a country," Trump said in absolute truth and with clarity.
We must secure our borders and restore the rule of law. The dilution of our elections by illegal migrant voting, the rampant crime associated with unchecked immigration, and the economic strain caused by these policies are, if not illegal, most certainly un-American.
Throw them all out. The law is the law.
We must elect politicians who protect our nation's integrity and prioritize our citizens first. We must remove everyone here illegally immediately (exceptions can be made when there are extreme societal contributions involved).
We have other pressing domestic and foreign policy problems, but the first steps must be reelecting Trump and enacting his zero-tolerance policy border security plan.
