So disappointed Sen. @DickDurbin is playing the straw man of “comprehensive immigration reform.” Securing our borders does NOT require new legislation. It requires Biden to secure the border. Biden and Mayorkas’ open border policies endanger migrants and Americans. #FloridavUSA

Senator @LindseyGrahamSC, why is US doing nothing to warn migrants of deadly risks of migration? Why are we still actively encouraging migrants to come via Biden’s illegal open border policies? Why aren’t we countering foreign propaganda? Will DHS comply with court #FloridavUSA?

Biden offering to “surge resources” to every problem is reckless and wrong, and will serve to enhance the chaos and deepen the deficit, not solve the problems. DHS has funds budgeted for walls and infrastructure, yet it’s storing building materials rather than enhancing security.

DHS #OperationBlueLotus claims to enhance security and enforcement AT THE PORTS OF ENTRY but does nothing to enhance security at the OPEN GAPS IN THE BORDER where fentanyl is trekked in by cartels and migrants they recruit and extort to help them. Here’s the proof. @DickDurbin

Why doesn’t Senator @DickDurbin understand that millions of migrants have been allowed to enter the country ILLEGALLY? Mayorkas’ DHS is abusing the asylum law to allow migrants to enter without detention, without investigation of “credible threat” claims. #FloridavUSA @TexasvDHS

Senator @LindseyGrahamSC, are you familiar with Biden’s open border policy? He campaigned on opening the border. Why would you expect Secretary Mayorkas to care about maintaining “operational control”? He’s not even trying. It’s not part of the agenda. joebiden.com/immigration/#

Why do Mayorkas and Democrats keep telling us migrants don’t smuggle fentanyl for the cartels? Incontrovertible evidence from the field shows that they do. The cartels use coercive control and extortion to make migrants do their bidding. @ChuckGrassley

The cartels’ smuggling operations are not just one-way. Drugs and humans are smuggled north, weapons and ammo go south. If this much was seized at a Port of Entry, just imagine how much is getting through the unsecured gaps. 👇

Senator Lee @SenMikeLee , a federal court has ruled that Mayorkas’ DHS is unlawfully abusing the parole program. DHS did not appeal this ruling. Will they comply? #FloridavUSA

Yes, @SenMikeLee, Biden-Mayorkas policy of allowing migrants to make asylum claims at the border ports of entry is not only illegal, it is a grave humanitarian concern. This policy endangers lives of migrants who travel through Mexico and hazard the cartels’ protection racket.

Yes, Senator @maziehirono, upholding current law and forbidding migrants the opportunity to apply for asylum at the border is the most humane option. Such a policy discourages migrants from selling their belongings, making the treacherous journey and being victimized by cartels.

Senator @SenJohnKennedy, with all due respect, unfortunately, Mexico is not a “safe” third country.

Thank you, Senator @MarshaBlackburn for addressing the epidemic of child trafficking and sexual assaults occurring at the hands of the Mexican drug cartels, facilitated and INCENTIVIZED by Biden DHS’s reckless open border policies. 💔
