Instead of traveling to Guatemala to find the root cause of the border crisis, Kamala could have just walked down the hall to the Oval Office\u2014he\u2019s sitting right there. It\u2019s time for Kamala to do her job, visit the border, and stop this man-made crisis.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nIn the first few days of his presidency, Joe Biden created a humanitarian crisis at the southern border.\n\nEven the President of Guatemala blames the Biden/Harris regime for the border crisis and stated coyotes were there recruiting illegal aliens to traffic to America the day after they put out their open borders welcome message.\n\nThe numbers speak for themselves:\n\nExactly one year before my visit to the border, there were 1,400 unaccompanied minors in HHS custody\u2014now there are 22,000.\n\nIn President Trump\u2019s last month in office, CBP encountered 78,443 illegal immigrants\u2014in April, they encountered a record high of over 178,000.\n\nIn President Trump\u2019s last full month in office, CBP released 18 illegal immigrants into the United States with a Notice to Appear at immigration court\u2014in April, the Biden administration released 26,233 illegal aliens into communities across the United States.\n\nIn President Trump\u2019s last full year in office, 458,000 illegal aliens were encountered at the border\u2014in just the first four months of Biden\u2019s term, almost 750,000 illegal aliens were caught sneaking across the border.\n\nIn President Trump\u2019s last full year in office, 4,776 pounds of fentanyl were seized by CBP\u2014in just the first four months of Biden\u2019s term, CBP seized almost 6,500 pounds. Without the work of our brave men and women of Border Patrol, enough fentanyl to kill every American four times over would have been allowed into the United States under Biden\u2019s watch.\n\nIn President Trump\u2019s last full year in office, 2,400 violent criminals were apprehended by CBP\u2014in just the first four months of Biden\u2019s term, CBP arrested 5,900. In just four months, arrests for murder are up 1,133%, arrests for sex crimes doubled, arrests for weapons smuggling almost quadrupled, and arrests for drug traffickers tripled.\n\nThe border crisis is destroying America, but Kamala hasn\u2019t done anything but cackle at it.
