More than 12 tons of Fentanyl have flooded U.S. streets under Biden's watch. A fourth-grader in my town died from it last month. In addition to these drugs, mexican cartels continue trafficking human beings into our country, too. In fact, the cartels' income from smuggling people across the border has skyrocketed to more than $13 billion per year. If we can't trust the liberals to take commonsense steps to protect our country, we shouldn't trust them to do anything.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                In May 2022, the city of El Paso, which borders Juarez, Mexico, was forced to release over 100 migrants as both Border Patrol and non-profit shelters had no space for them. Last week, as many as 2,100 migrants crossed the border in one day. For perspective, between April and September 2022 it is believed over 60,000 have crossed the El Paso border, alone. The city's border enforcement efforts have been aided by Title 42 of the federal Public Health Service Act, a pandemic-era policy permitting the immediate expulsion of would-be asylum seekers based on public-health considerations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 However, the Biden administration is currently in the process of trying to lift the public-health measure in court. If the administration proves successful, many fear the situation at the border will spiral out of control.  Roughly 60 percent of illegal immigrants who have arrived at the El Paso border this year have been turned away due to Title 42. The border town has only received $2 million in federal reimbursements while spending $8 million to address the crisis so far. El Paso has reportedly sent 9 - 14 daily buses packed with illegals to northern states, with nearly 10,000 arriving in Chicago and New York City by early  October.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Declaring a state of emergency would make the city eligible for additional funding from state and federal resourses. However, the Biden administration is pressuring Democratic El Paso mayor Oscar Leeser to avoid declaring a state of emergency over the influx of illegal immigrants arriving daily, despite several members of the local city council urging otherwise, the New York Post reports.  One councilwoman, Claudia Rodriguez, told the Post that Lesser "told me the White House asked him not to " declare a state of emergency for fear that it would make Biden look bad.  These sentiments were echoed by fewllow Representative Veronica Escobar (D., Texas) during a September 27 council meeting.
