The Biden administration’s continued refusal to recognize the severity of the border crisis is having deadly consequences.
Today, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declared mission accomplished on the border. She downplayed and dismissed the border crisis as overdose deaths reach record levels, more people are dying at the border than ever before, and over 800,000 illegal immigrants have escaped into the U.S. since Biden took office.
Myth: The Biden administration is securing the border and stopping fentanyl.
"Life expectancies are going down at a rate not seen in a century, and part of that is being driven by drug overdoses. So what is the president going to do to stop it?"

Fact: According to Biden’s DEA Commissioner Anne Milgram, Mexican cartels are smuggling fentanyl into the United States and “killing Americans with fentanyl at catastrophic and record rates like we have never seen before.”

Bottom line: the border is not secure, and thousands of Americans are dying as a result. Biden’s delusion on the border is beyond embarrassing – it’s a dereliction of duty.
