Debate Prep: Border

Download

Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of the border crisis they are seeing under President Biden:

• 68% disapprove of Biden’s handling of immigration (AP and NORC)
• 66% think the border is worse off now than it was during the Trump Administration (KAConsulting)

President Biden’s policies created America’s current historic border crisis.

• During his first 100 days in office, President Biden rescinded 94 key Trump-era executive orders that secured our border.
• This crisis is historic.
  • Over a 62-year span between 1892 and1954, nearly 12 million LEGAL immigrants entered our country through Ellis Island. In the three years since Joe Biden took office, the same number of illegal immigrants have entered our country.

Under the Biden Administration:

• Biden has allowed more illegal immigrants into our country than the population of 43 U.S. states.
• Nearly 1,400 pounds of deadly fentanyl was seized at the border in just one month this year, but so much more is getting through.
  • Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45.
• 367 Known or Suspected Terrorists have crossed the border under the Biden Administration. This month, eight suspected terrorists with ties to ISIS were caught after having illegally crossed the southern border using the CBPOne app.

There’s already a playbook to secure the border:
Reinstate policies under the Trump Administration that enforced the law and prioritized security.

• Biden’s Open Borders have led to the rapes and murders of innocent Americans. Just this year:
  • Rachel Morin, a mom of five was brutally raped and murdered on a running trail in Maryland allegedly by an illegal alien with a criminal history of murdering and assaulting women
  • Two thirteen-year-olds (boy and girl) were tied in up in broad daylight allegedly by a machete-wielding illegal alien, who secluded the children in a park and raped the young girl.
  • A 12-year-old was raped and murdered in Texas allegedly by two illegal aliens who crossed the El Paso border illegally and released into the community
  • Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University, was brutally killed by an illegal alien allegedly while she was jogging at the University of Georgia.

• Americans AGREE that walls WORK and that we need to impose CONSEQUENCES for illegal immigration
  • 62% of registered voters SUPPORT mass deportation (CBS/ YouGov)
  • 70% of registered voters believe Trump policies would decrease illegal crossings at the border and 49% believe that Biden policies increase crossings (CBS/ YouGov)
  • 53% of Americans support backing a border wall, marking the first majority since 2015 (Monmouth University)
