With the recent news of President Biden dropping out of the race, many eyes have turned to Vice-President Harris as a likely candidate to replace him. Despite Harris’ position as “border czar”, her eyes have been anywhere but our nation’s southern border—only visiting once as Vice President and sticking to politically friendly areas as opposed to the epicenter of this rapidly growing crisis. This spring, I visited Eagle Pass, TX, and witnessed the devastating effects of these toothless and radical policies firsthand.
We’ve all heard about the Biden border crisis; it’s even more shocking to witness the chaos unfold before your own eyes. The Biden administration’s failure to protect our nation’s borders has created a national crisis that is endangering the lives and livelihoods of Americans from Texas to Michigan. Deadly fentanyl trafficking is killing thousands, and criminals taking advantage of self-proclaimed sanctuary communities are harming our loved ones right here in our home state. Republicans have introduced plans to combat this crisis on both fronts here in Michigan, but the Democrat majority has refused to even hold hearings. When will they stop playing political theater to protect their party’s president and start protecting the people of Michigan?
Vigilant National Guard troops from other states are tirelessly confronting the illegal immigration crisis even as Joe Biden refuses to keep our country safe. It’s time for Democrats to listen to the American people — including legal immigrants — and get serious about securing our border and protecting our communities. Gov. Whitmer should stop trying to dole out taxpayer dollars to reward illegal immigrants and start sending our troops to help stop the crisis on the frontlines.
The dangers of the border crisis reach far beyond southwest border communities. Multiple illegal aliens have been arrested for violent crimes in Michigan in recent months, including murder, soliciting sex with a minor, and sexual assault. As of 2023, Biden’s failed immigration enforcement has resulted in more than 1.7 million gotaways — illegal crossers who were not apprehended — at the southwest border.
