Washington, D.C.: “American Exceptionalism used to show the world how excellent our country is,” said Ed Martin, President of the Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. “Now, thanks to President Biden, we’re showing the world how exceptionally bad we are at managing our own borders. The Biden Administration’s policy at the southern border is rife with disasters. Cartels are making an annual $13 billion, excluding drug profits, just getting illegal immigrants across the border. In addition, the US-Mexico border has set a new annual record for illegal immigrant deaths in only 9 months.”
“Democrats claim they want to help people and give anyone an opportunity at the American Dream, but a hands-off border policy clearly is not the right way to do it,” Ed Martin continued. “Instead, our border is simply a cash cow for cartels. These Mexican drug lords and gangs are essentially the new border guards. They extort an incredible amount of wealth out of folks trying to get to America and the Biden Administration’s policies make them complicit. The hundreds of deaths at our border this year already are only going to rise until something is done to shut down illegal crossings. This humanitarian crisis must be address immediately!”
