After the tragic death of Laken Riley, a college student in Athens, GA, at the hands of an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, Americans are becoming more aware of just how dangerous an open border is.

In December alone, an all-time record of 302,000 illegal immigrant encounters occurred at our southern border. But not only are illegal immigrants crossing our border, President Biden has secretly been flying them into the nation.

A recent report from the Center for Immigration Studies revealed that in 2023 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) approved flights for around 320,000 inadmissible aliens to 43 unnamed U.S. airports.

And if that’s not bad enough, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) recently revealed “I’m hearing rumors [that] 4, 5, 600,000 of these Palestinians in Gaza, we’re going to fly them in here and make them citizens….I mean [President Biden] doesn’t even have to tell us he’s doing it. Did he tell us about the 325,000 he’s flown in? No.”

We cannot afford for this crisis to go unaddressed any longer.

We need to encourage leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives to use all available means at their disposal to provide relief for the honest and hard-working American citizens burdened by President Biden’s border crisis.

If you want our southern border secured, share this email with others, and please sign our petition to Congressional leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives below:

To Congressional Leadership in the U.S. House:

Our country has seen record numbers of illegal border crossings under President Joe Biden’s watch. Recently, an all-time record of 302,000 illegal migrant encounters occurred at our southern border. Since President Biden has taken office over 7 million encounters have occurred at the border. That does not include the 2 million known “got-aways” and those who entered undetected.

The strain on our nation’s infrastructure and communities is incalculable and nearing a breaking point. Among Americans, there is bipartisan astonishment at the failure of leadership in our federal government to secure our border. After the cross-border attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists, there should be a greater understanding of the national security nightmare that is being ushered in by the Biden administration.

The open border is fueling human trafficking and the fentanyl crisis. As Speaker Johnson rightfully pointed out during the House delegation’s visit to the southern border to assess the situation, the situation at the border is an “unmitigated disaster.”

This chaos is not contained at the border as every state is now dealing with hundreds or even thousands of illegal immigrants, fentanyl, and the scourge of human trafficking. The American people know something must be done, and soon. They also know the lawlessness starts at the top, with President Joe Biden.

We ask that you use all available leverage, whether it be the power of the purse through the appropriations process and/or the oversight authority to investigate the Executive Branch, and to pass legislation, to stop the flow of illegal immigrants, drugs, human trafficking, and more, across our nation’s southern border.

We cannot allow this crisis to worsen. It is urgent that Congress act right away!

SIGN THE PETITION!
