Parents across the nation are increasingly worried about the health and safety of our future generations, as am I! The crime, drugs, and perversion that crosses through our southern border steals the lives of too many Americans every day, and the deadly repercussions are only worsening.
I have seized the opportunity to personally witness the atrocities at the United States/Mexico border twice in my short time in Congress, Double the amount of times that our Commander in Chief and Border Czar have made the trip. What I experienced was not only shocking but deeply haunting. I heard numerous testimonials from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents about the countless “got-aways” that disappear into our nation without vaccinations, documentation, or background information. To put it simply, thousands of illegal immigrants are crossing our southern border every day, and we have no way of knowing who they are, where they are going, or if they have a criminal record.
In less than one year, 66 individuals on the FBI’s terror watchlist have made their way into our neighborhoods. Seasoned criminals, many of them young men traveling alone, have settled in communities near you. In Sacramento, a man from Mexico brutally murdered his three young daughters after entering this country illegally, and in Tallahassee, an illegal immigrant from Haiti killed two Floridians after previously being charged and released in California. These stories of violence are too many to list and too heartbreaking to allow to continue.
