President Joe Biden’s border crisis is nothing in need of a disaster for the United States of America.
Will the Democrats ever join with the Republicans working to solve it?
The unprecedented chaos is a travesty of national, economic and humanitarian security, directly brought on by the failed open border policy of the Biden administration.
Every American is deeply aware of the chaos on the southern border.
But as a member of Congress representing upstate Latest York, I even have also sounded the alarm a few troubling crisis in our north border.
In Latest York, we saw the low morale of our brave Border Patrol agents and illegal immigrants crossing the border from Canada.
Since the starting of Biden’s presidency, every state has turn into a border state, and every community a border community.
On Biden’s watch, records were shattered as 11,000 migrants crossed the border illegally in sooner or later, 85,000 migrant children went missing, and greater than 5 million illegal crossings occurred on the southern border.
And just last week we learned that just about 110,000 people died of overdoses last yr, mostly due to the deluge of fentanyl across our open border.

To really understand the grim reality of Biden’s catastrophic border crisis, look no further than the Empire State, where illegal immigrants take precedence over Americans while hard-working law enforcement and border officials are vilified.
Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams further fueled a serious crisis.
State officials are contacting SUNY campuses upstate to forcibly admit illegal immigrants.
Upstate Latest York communities are already struggling to provide resources for our residents and shouldn’t be used as sanctuary cities to clean up Biden’s catastrophic border crisis.
It is clear to every Latest Yorker and every American that Biden, Hochul and Adams usually are not equipped to handle this crisis.

Latest York should give attention to putting our residents first, not illegal immigrants violating our laws.
I recently voiced my strong support for Latest York county directors and local officials who declared a state of emergency of their counties as a way to block Adams’ illegal attempt to burden our communities with illegal Latest York immigrants.
Forcibly relocating these illegal immigrants wouldn’t only violate some local laws, but in addition take resources away from already struggling residents in these counties, causing further destruction throughout Latest York State.
Earlier this month, House Republicans kept their promise and passed the Border Security Act, the strongest border security package the United States has ever seen.
This bill would force the Biden administration to complete President Trump’s border wall, deploy tech on the southern and northern borders, increase the variety of Border Patrol agents and provide bonuses, require transparency from the Department of Homeland Security regarding illegal border crossings, strengthen current laws designed to protect children trafficking in human beings, ending the catch and release principle and improving the asylum process.
Unfortunately, every Democrat in the House of Representatives voted against these common sense measures to secure our borders and protect our residents.
Biden created this border crisis; Representatives of the House of Representatives are determined to solve this problem.
