Evaluating the Biden-Harris Policies: Border Security

Download

Under President Biden and Border Czar Kamala Harris, record-breaking illegal border crossings have surged to historic levels, leading to increased violent crimes, including rapes and murders of innocent Americans. As our nation's security deteriorates, the Biden-Harris Administration deflects blame instead of taking action. Here are the facts:

By the numbers

• Within the first 100 days, Biden and Harris took 94 executive actions that dismantled successful America First border policies.

• Border Czar Kamala Harris may have publicly said, "Do not come." But, over 12 million illegal aliens have crossed our borders because of the Biden-Harris Administration’s failed border strategy.

• The Biden-Harris Administration has released 99 known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) into American communities, but the real question remains: how many more have slipped through the crack?

• Fentanyl that is smuggled across the southern border is killing over 100,000 Americans every year.

• NYC, a sanctuary city, is projected to spend $12 billion between 2024-2025 on illegal immigrants who have overwhelmed the city.

De-BUNKED

• Myth: Vice President Kamala Harris was never tasked as “Border Czar
• Fact: Despite efforts by the far-left media to downplay it, President Biden held a televised meeting in March 2021, tasking Vice President Harris with stemming migration to the southern border. Since she assumed this role, approximately 12 million illegal aliens have crossed our borders.

• Myth: Numbers are lower under the Biden-Harris Administration compared to Trump Administration.
• Fact: Under Border Czar Harris, we’ve had around 2.4 million illegal border crossers just in FY24 YTD, compared to the Trump Administration, where it had around 2.4 million illegal border crossers in all four years.
• Fact: Every month since March 2021 has recorded more illegal alien encounters than the highest month during the Trump Administration (May 2019, with 144,116 encounters).

• Myth: Conservatives in Congress wouldn’t cooperate with the Biden-Harris Administration to pass a border bill.
• Fact: The Biden-Harris Administration has all the authority it needs to secure the border but refuses to use it.
