This Week with Gosar

This week, the Biden administration released new data showing nearly 200,000 illegal aliens were apprehended crossing the southern border in July. In fact, for the seventeenth straight month, more than 150,000 lawbreakers have crossed the southern border. That puts us on track for another two million lawbreakers crossing the border this year and more than 4.2 million illegals pouring into our country thanks to Biden’s reckless open border policies, including 66 on the terrorist watch list. The majority of these lawbreakers are “processed” by border patrol officers and subsequently released into the United States. Where they go is anyone’s guess. Don’t believe me? In April, 234,000 illegals crossed the border. Of those, more than half, or 118,000, were “processed” and then released into our country. The others were returned to Mexico under President Trump’s Title 42 authority, but Biden recently rescinded that policy. Going forward, we can expect nearly all illegals to be released into our country, including all 200,000 that crossed in July. This doesn’t include the hundreds of thousands of illegals that simply walk across our border and never get stopped. Known as “gotaways,” it is estimated that 800,000 to one million more illegals fall into this category.

Sadly, illicit drugs, including deadly fentanyl, also continue to pour in. More than 2000 pounds of fentanyl was seized by border officials in July. That’s enough to kill 469 million people, or substantially more than the entire population of our country. Mr. Biden’s open border policies are an open invitation to criminals and drug cartels to cross into our country unchecked. Biden refuses to protect the people of America and he has lost the trust of its citizens.   back...
