A CRISIS AT THE BORDER

DRUGS ARE POURING OVER THE BORDER INTO OUR COMMUNITIES

BIDEN BREAKS RECORD AFTER RECORD

  • FY 2023 saw nearly 2.5 million illegal immigrant encounters, surpassing the FY 2022 record.
    • The Biden administration has now set the all-time record for migrant encounters at the southern border for the last three years in a row.
  • 169 people on the terror watchlist were encountered at the southern border in FY 2023, breaking the all-time record of 98 set in FY 2022.
    • More people on the FBI terror watchlist have been arrested at the southern border this fiscal year than the previous six years combined.
  • More than 15,000 non-U.S. citizens with criminal convictions were encountered at the southern border in FY 2023, a record high. 
  • Biden’s border crisis is so bad, CBP has needed to adjust the y-axis on the illegal encounters graph five times.

BIDEN’S DEADLY BORDER CRISIS CONTINUES TO WORSEN

  • Despite Biden’s promise of a “fair and humane immigration system,” his open border policies aren’t compassionate; they are deadly. In just the past month:
    • An illegal immigrant from Guatemala brutally stabbed to death his girlfriend and her four-year-old daughter at their home in Florida.
    • In Alabama, an illegal immigrant has been detained for causing a fatal crash that killed a local teenager, while being intoxicated at four times the legal limit
    • Two girls under the age of 13 were sexually assaulted by an illegal immigrant who broke into their home, threatening to kill them if they screamed or tried to escape.
    • A 32-year-old illegal immigrant lured a woman into a Denver shelter for migrants and raped her; police are now investigating whether there are other victims.
    • Kurt Englehart, senior advisor to Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-NV) was killed in a car accident involving an illegal immigrant, who was charged with failing to stop at the scene of the accident.
    • Four illegal immigrants are facing federal charges for a year-long shoplifting spree at Home Depots across New England. 
  • At least 2,297 people have died attempting to cross the southern border under three years of Biden, more than double the number that died under the entire previous administration.
    • A senior Border Patrol agent in Arizona is warning that soaring temperatures could lead to an “unprecedented” number of deaths among migrants crossing the border in the coming months.
    • Border officials in Maverick County, Texas recover one or two people who drown in the Rio Grande nearly every day, while years ago it would have only been one or two per month.
      • First responders in the county have run out of body bags and burial plots amid soaring deaths of those attempting to cross the southern border.
  • Tens of thousands of migrant children who have come to the U.S. are being exploited and forced into de facto “indentured servitude.”
    • Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) lost track of 85,000 children after responding to Biden’s demands to “move the children quickly out of shelters” by rolling back important vetting and safeguard procedures.
  • Criminals are flooding across the border, with Border Patrol arresting illegal immigrants accused of sexual assault of a child, possession of child pornography, and homicide.
    • Border Patrol has arrested more than 10,000 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions and 295 gang members so far in FY 2024.
  • Meanwhile, Border Patrol agents have been left demoralized and “overwhelmed” by the Biden administration’s handling of the crisis.

BIDEN AND DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS ARE TO BLAME FOR THE BORDER CRISIS
