President Biden and Vice President Harris’ open border policies have brought increased costs and crime to Americans’ daily lives and created a large-scale humanitarian crisis like this country has never seen before.
HANDOUTS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS
From providing thousands of plane tickets to free housing assistance, the Biden-Harris administration has spent your taxpayer dollars on mass handouts for illegal aliens.
FAST FACT: The cost of illegal aliens who have been released into the United States on Biden and Harris’ watch, or entered as known gotaways, could exceed $150.7 billion.
STRAINED SOCIAL SERVICES
Illegal aliens make extensive use of welfare, health care, and public education, resulting in a significant fiscal drain on government services for U.S. citizens.
FAST FACT: 59% of households headed by illegal aliens use one or more major welfare programs, compared to 39% of households headed by the U.S.-born.
FAST FACT: Several million illegal aliens rely on Medicaid, and it is estimated that illegal immigrants received $42 billion in benefits in 2021.
FAST FACT: The influx of immigrant children places a significant strain on the public education system, estimated to cost taxpayers more than $2 billion annually.
FENTANYL: POISONING OUR COUNTRY FROM THE INSIDE OUT
The Biden-Harris border crisis has opened the floodgates for deadly drugs to flow freely into the country.
FAST FACT: Between April 2020 to April 2021, Texas witnessed a 800% increase in fentanyl seizures at the southern border.
FAST FACT: Overdose deaths, coinciding with the spike in illegal immigration, exceeded 100,000 in 2022.
INCREASED CRIME
Due to Vice President Kamala Harris’ lax policies as border czar, crimes committed by convicted‐criminal‐aliens—including assaults, rapes, and homicides—have spiked under the Biden-Harris administration.
FAST FACT: In fiscal year (FY) 2023, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Removal Operations officers arrested 73,822 noncitizens with criminal histories including assault, sexual assault, weapons offenses, homicide, and kidnapping.
A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS: ASSAULTS AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN
Drug cartels control the migration routes to the U.S. and routinely take advantage of the most vulnerable migrants, mainly women and children.
FAST FACT: One in three migrant women report being sexually assaulted during their trek to the U.S., and 60% of unaccompanied migrant children are exploited by cartels through child pornography and drug trafficking. Despite the human rights abuses at the border, the Biden-Harris administration encourages the flow of unaccompanied minors rather than putting an end to the violence.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ record reveals a series of America-last policies that put illegal aliens first, at the expense of U.S. citizens and taxpayers. The Left’s border crisis has resulted in an increase in crime and drug overdoses, destroying lives and families across the country. We need policies that put Americans first and secure the border.
