Washington, D.C. – The Biden-Kelly border crisis isn’t going away anytime soon. 203,598 illegal immigrants were apprehended at the Southern Border in August. That’s 329% more than the average August apprehensions during the Trump Administration and nearly 4,000 more than July. Since Joe Biden took office, over 4.4 MILLION illegal immigrants have either been apprehended or escaped into the country.
Just last week, Kamala Harris insisted that the border is secure. These numbers tell a different story. They highlight how Joe Biden and Mark Kelly opened the Southern Border and created a crisis that continues to get worse.
It’s not just border towns that are suffering from the Biden-Kelly border crisis. Deadly fentanyl is pouring across the border at record rates while overdose deaths continue to rise. Over 4 million fentanyl pills were seized in Arizona in August alone.
Statement from NRSC Spokesman Jonathan Turcotte: “Mark Kelly is all talk and no action on the border crisis he helped create. He tells Arizonans that he wants to secure the border, but he’s done nothing to stop Joe Biden’s amnesty and open borders agenda. This dangerous border crisis will continue as long as D.C. Darling Mark Kelly is in the Senate.”
