Border security has long been a serious challenge facing our nation. Between the 1,933 miles of the US-Mexico border and the 5,525 miles comprising our borders with Canada, there is no shortage of vulnerabilities which can be exploited by America’s enemies. Ignoring this fact creates a crisis of national security, humanitarian concern, economic strain, and public safety. Sadly, under the open border policies of the Biden-Harris administration, the crisis has gotten worse.
Lax and unsecure borders present just the kind of weakness criminal gangs, international adversaries, and state sponsors of terrorism such as Iran would seek to exploit.To protect Americans, we must restore sound border policy.
While the volume of illegal crossings is greater on our southern border, the risk of entry by bad actors via Canada has risen under the Biden-Harris administration.
