3/ In April, we already knew that cartels were trafficking human beings through suburban communities far from the border

8/ Migrants are dying because of Biden’s wide-open border. One county 80 miles from the border has seen at least 120 dead migrants found just this year. This is a snapshot of where things were just last month:

9/ From APRIL: "Border Patrol video of the Mexico border shows what looks like an adult atop a 14-foot barrier with a toddler, who is hoisted over the side and dangled by one arm before being dropped to the ground far below."

“We’ve heard stories that kids as young as six are crossing the border alone, and they are scared, they’re confused, and they are very likely to end up in the hands of an exploiter"

17/ And if that weren't bad enough, law enforcement has had to look in to whether the US government actually released minors to human traffickers

19/ Now let’s talk about the #BidenBorderVictims of fentanyl – CBP has already caught over 11,000 lbs in FY21.
Since just 2mg can be fatal, that’s enough to kill OVER 2 BILLION people.
That's just what's been caught by Border Patrol. Imagine what's getting through.

20/ This is how dangerous & insidious the drug is:
Cameron “probably paid $10 for his death. That pill probably cost him $10,” Becky said in an interview with KXAN. “He had no idea what he was taking”
“It was just one pill,” said Cameron’s dad

21/ Also, these numbers from JULY illustrate how fentanyl deaths spiked in TX while the Trump admin was actually working to secure the border
There is literally no telling how many more deaths the #BidenBorderCrisis has invited by now

29/ The record is undeniable. Secretary Mayorkas has failed and refused to faithfully execute the law, and the resulting crisis has cost lives on both sides of our southern border.
Congress should immediately begin proceedings to impeach Mayorkas.
