Clay Higgins Blasts Biden's Border Policies, Citing Over 200,000 American Deaths

Southern Border Control and Cartel Partnership

• 🗺️ Rep. Clay Higgins describes the 1,954-mile southern border, stating that while the American side is patrolled by law enforcement, the Mexican side is 100% controlled by criminal cartels.
• 🤝 He argues that an executive policy choosing not to enforce laws vigorously effectively partners the U.S. government with these cartels.
• 🚨 The cartels are engaged in trafficking human beings and drugs into the country, a situation exacerbated by U.S. policy.

Policy Impact and Law Enforcement Transformation

• 📈 The executive branch's policies from 2021-2024 are blamed for partnering with cartels to traffic people and drugs, causing immeasurable generational trauma.
• 🚶 Millions of illegal immigrants were drawn into the country by false promises from the former executive branch, processed by federal law enforcement transformed into a reception and processing force rather than a law enforcement body.
• ⚖️ Higgins asserts that the negative impact is a direct result of policy decisions, not a lack of resources or laws.

Enforcement vs. Legislation

• 🗣️ For years, Republicans argued that enforcement of existing laws and the will to do so were required, not more money or new laws.
• 🚪 A policy change within two weeks of a new administration reportedly reduced illegal crossings from 8-10,000 per day to almost zero.

Accountability for American Lives Lost

• 💔 The responsibility for injuries and deaths of Americans lies with those who developed policies that encouraged illegal trafficking.
• 💀 Over 200,000 Americans have died from drug poisoning, specifically fentanyl, trafficked into the country during those four years.
• 🏛️ Members of Congress are responsible for the laws and decisions made, holding a duty to be the voice of the people and enforce the law to protect citizens and restore border sovereignty.
