Only a New Congress Can Start to Repair Biden’s Border Disaster

The Southern Border might be thousands of miles away from New Hampshire, but you can ask anyone in law enforcement here: that’s the undisputed source of the drugs poisoning our communities. Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress know this, too. They just don’t care.

On Day 1 of the Biden administration, our border was secure—but the President’s radical left base was not. To shore up the MSNBC crowd, they immediately rolled back nearly every one of President Trump’s policies. These shortsighted actions include repealing the successful “Remain in Mexico” policy, stonewalling construction of the border wall, and re-implementing the dangerous catch-and-release policy that President Trump ended. They floated the idea of offering illegal immigrants $450,000 in taxpayer funds. Now even Title 42, one of the last tools for an overwhelmed Border Patrol, is on the chopping block.

The results of these actions speak for themselves: an entirely avoidable humanitarian and national security crisis is right at our doorstep. Encounters with illegal immigrants are up a staggering 331% this past March over where they were at this point under the Trump Administration. Of the record 2.4 million illegal aliens that have been apprehended at the Southern Border since Biden took office, over 500,000 of them have been released into our communities.

These figures don’t just represent a statistic thousands of miles away; they tragically tell story about the influx of lethal drugs that cartels send across our wide-open border and into the hands of our friends and neighbors here in New Hampshire.

Rarely has there been such a clear-cut example of a complete policy breakdown. From the dramatic increase in illegal border crossings to the rise in drug and human trafficking, these were all foreseeable consequences of Joe Biden’s anti-Trump crusade at the border.

Holding Joe Biden accountable for the crisis he created starts this November by defeating his enablers in Congress.

ake Chris Pappas, for example, who represents communities in New Hampshire that are being torn apart by the drugs coming across the Southern Border. He didn’t just fail to stand up to the leader of his Party on this life-or-death issue for our state; he’s aided and abetted the bad policymaking all along. He voted in favor of allowing amnesty and green cards to millions of illegal immigrants—rewarding those who come into the United States illegally. He called funding the border wall “irresponsible.” His positions and Party are so out-of-touch, he can’t even hold an in-person town hall to defend them.

Soon, this phone-it-in, proxy voting Congressman won’t have to worry about facing furious voters, but as new members of Congress, we will need to act quickly to restore our country’s sovereignty and protect Americans.

I will start by introducing legislation to end catch-and-release once and for all and codify the successful “Remain in Mexico” policy. I will also fight to reform the H-1B programs that allow Big Tech companies to undercut the wages of American workers and to give our border patrol agents the funding they need and the latitude necessary to work with local communities so they can successfully do their jobs.

Recently, I met with a small business owner in Merrimack who immigrated to America legally from Mexico, worked hard to put food on the table for her family, and became an American citizen. Now, she owns and operates an extremely successful restaurant. She, and so many others like her, played by the rules and did the right thing by immigrating to America legally. Americans like her make our country great. Politicians like Chris Pappas and Joe Biden make us less safe.

It’s time to finish the wall. It’s time to stop catch and release. It’s time to stop the illegal border crossings. It’s time to shut down the flow of illicit drugs that cartels and gangs bring into our country daily. It’s beyond time to secure our border.

Even if both Houses of Congress flip to the Republicans, Biden can and will continue to do what he wants. And he’d veto any legislation meant to fix his mistakes. Biden is a dunce. But his handlers are not.

It’s a real mess. 2024 can’t come soon enough.

Only a new Congress that has lots of NEW members can stop it.

Re-electing the same Bush League Republicans that have been keeping it open for 30 years will do nothing.

Texas has already renominated all of their Bush Leaguers, including Eyepatch McCain.

Cornyn and Tillis are putting their Amnesty Gang back together to pass amnesty before we can re-elect Trump.

Be sure to re-elect Amnesty Senators Hoevene and Rubio...../s

We have a very corrupt, alleged election-stealing, elite Democratic and RINO-controlled Congress that cannot be expected to its constitutionally enumerated duty to expel Constitution-ignoring career lawmakers under Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 (1.5.2) or Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

So it's up to Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters to peacefully exercise their voting power in 2022 midterm elections to effectively make 1.5.2 and Section 3 work, applying Section 3 to both federal and state governments.

And speaking of voting power, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates. (Good work OH patriots yesterday primary.)

Two A-10 Thunderbolts will stop the border problem in a heartbeat.
