"You talk about children being taken away from their parents? My children were taken away from me. 100,000 Americans every year are having their children...taken away from them." pic.twitter.com/nBmeyzH5RM
Pinal County, Arizona Sheriff Mark Lamb: "In the state of Arizona in 2021, we lost 44 children to [fentanyl] poisonings under the age of 17; seven were under the age one year old. If that doesn't mobilize the forces of this country to stop this problem, I don't know what will." pic.twitter.com/AzVwEotrwp

According to Biden’s DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, cartels are “killing Americans with fentanyl at catastrophic and record rates like we have never seen before.” But according to border law enforcement, “the lines of communication were severed when this [Biden] administration took over.”
DHS Secretary Mayorkas has the audacity to scoff at concerns and claim the border is “secure” while Biden insists the border is not “important” enough to warrant his time. Can they look in the eyes of the hundreds of thousands of people who have lost loved ones and say that?
