During President Trump’s first term, 458 miles of the wall were built along our Southern border.
When combined with Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy for asylum claimants, it led to the largest reduction in illegal immigration in history.
This from Kari Lake on frontpagemag.com.
The gains did not come without obstacles—the radical Left obstructed the construction of the wall at every turn, delaying the completion of the project and keeping the path open for The Obiden Regime to throw the border wide open again.
Looking back, our southern border was never more secure than it was under President Trump. Conversely, today illegal aliens caught crossing the border increased from just over 300,000 under Trump, to more than 2.2 million at the peak under The Regime.
Even more staggering, 425,431 Convicted Criminals—including 13,099 Murderers and 15,811 Rapists—have been allowed to enter America during The Obiden Regime’s reign of destruction.
So many families along the border and throughout America have dealt with tragedy as a result of the border crisis. Families are losing loved ones to the fentanyl crisis and illegal alien crime is bringing death upon many other families.
This is not a partisan issue. This is a parents’ issue. We cannot lose our next generation to a synthetic opioid crisis and a violent illegal alien crisis.
Now that the election is complete and once the newly elected are sworn in, the priority must be to complete President Trump’s border wall. This is just the first step in my 10-point plan proposed by Kari Lake to restore order at the border and protect the people of Arizona as well as all of America:
1. Finish the Wall. We will complete the construction of the wall, particularly in high-traffic areas that have been left vulnerable under Biden.
2. Enhance Surveillance and Monitoring. By using advanced technology—drones, infrared cameras, and motion sensors—we will empower Border Patrol to effectively monitor and intercept illegal crossings in real-time.
3. Enforce Existing Laws. We already have many laws on the books that, if enforced properly, would drastically reduce illegal immigration. I will ensure that these laws are upheld to protect our sovereignty.
But we cannot stop there. To truly secure the border and prevent future waves of uncontrolled mass migration, we must take additional actions:
4. Remove the Asylum Loophole. The Biden administration has allowed asylum seekers to claim violent crime as a reason to flee their home countries. Many U.S. cities suffer from higher crime rates than those countries. We must close this loophole and only grant asylum for legitimate, legally defined reasons.
5. Immediate Deportation for Illegal Crossings. Individuals caught crossing outside legal points of entry will be deported immediately. We will end the practice of releasing individuals into the U.S. to await court dates they never intend to attend.
6. Expand the Judiciary for Asylum Claims. The backlog of asylum cases is overwhelming the system. By hiring hundreds of additional judges, we will speed up the process and ensure that claims are heard quickly and fairly.
7. Build More Facilities for Asylum Claimants. We will construct additional border facilities to house claimants while their cases are processed, preventing them from disappearing into the U.S. before a decision is made.
8. Enforce E-Verify. Employers must be held accountable. Expanding E-Verify will help stop the illegal hiring of individuals who are in the country unlawfully, ensuring that job opportunities remain for legal residents.
9. Withhold Foreign Aid. Countries that refuse to cooperate with the U.S. on preventing illegal immigration should not benefit from our financial aid. We will use this leverage to ensure their compliance.
10. Support Partner Nations in Fighting Cartels. The cartels are the driving force behind much of the illegal activity at our border. I will work with international allies to provide the resources needed to dismantle these criminal organizations at their source.
This is the comprehensive, no-nonsense approach we need to secure our borders once and for all. America deserves leadership that will act decisively to stop the flow of criminals and illegal drugs at the border, protect the next generation of Americans, and bring an end to this crisis.
