Securing Our Border

Our leaders are addicted to funding international conflicts while abandoning the needs of Americans at home. They seem to focus on atrocities going on in the world and completely drop the ball and forget about what’s going on here. They forget about our wide-open border under President Biden that’s incentivized about 350 people on the terror watchlist to attempt to enter. They forget about the 1.8 million got-aways—all of whom have successfully infiltrated our nation.

If you don’t think there are any lone wolves or terrorist cells that have come in through that wide open border, you’re a fool.

Representative Crane believes securing our border requires overlapping deterrence—including a border wall. Instead of processing more illegal aliens into the country and emboldening the cartels, our government should be focused on deterring illegal immigration and fortifying our security.
