Washington, D.C. – The Biden Administration is living in an alternate reality when it comes to the crisis at the Southern Border. Yesterday, Kamala Harris said that “we have a secure border.” Joe Biden and Senate Democrats continue to gaslight Americans who are forced to deal with the consequences of the very real border crisis.
Here’s the reality:
- In July, 199,976 illegal immigrants were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border – a 325% increase from the average number of July apprehensions during the Trump Administration.
- Over 4.2 MILLION illegal immigrants have crossed the border since Biden took office.
- Since the fiscal year began, 66 people on the terror watch list have been caught trying to enter the country through the Southern Border.
- Over 800,000 illegal immigrants have avoided apprehension and escaped into the U.S.
- 2,071 pounds of deadly fentanyl were seized in July alone as U.S. overdose deaths skyrocket.
- More fentanyl has crossed the border in the last two months than in all FY 2019 combined.
- 609 illegal immigrants have died crossing the border which makes FY’22 the deadliest year in history.
These statistics paint a much different picture than what Joe Biden and Senate Democrats are telling Americans. Their amnesty and open borders agenda caused this crisis, yet they’ve done nothing to fix it. They’d rather gaslight Americans and tell them there’s nothing to worry about.
Mark Kelly represents a border state that’s being overwhelmed by Biden’s border crisis. Instead of working to fix the crisis, Mark Kelly votes against border security and votes to send stimulus checks to illegal immigrants.
Statement from NRSC Spokesman Jonathan Turcotte: “Arizonans are dealing with the effects of the Biden/Kelly border crisis every day. Border towns are overwhelmed, and deadly drugs are pouring through the Southern border. First responders are being stretched thin responding to situations at the border. But Joe Biden and Mark Kelly are telling Arizonans that the border is secure. It’s insulting that they think Arizonans are dumb enough to believe that the border is secure while the facts show otherwise.”
