President Trump will end Biden’s Border Bloodbath and make America safe again on day one. What you need to know: Biden’s border bloodbath continues. More than 9.4 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border since Biden took office. This includes the more than 7.6 million illegal immigrants that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has encountered and the 1.8 million gotaways who escaped past Border Patrol and into the country. 189,372 illegal immigrants were encountered attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border in March. 8,829 unaccompanied children were encountered. 94,694 illegal immigrants were encountered from countries outside the Northern Triangle and Mexico, showing that Biden's crisis is global. At least 75 people on the terror watchlist have been encountered trying to enter the U.S. between ports of entry this fiscal year. An Afghan on the FBI terror watchlist spent almost a year roaming freely throughout the U.S. after being released twice on American soil. An average of 5,000 illegal immigrants are being released into the U.S. every day. Homeland Security Investigations estimates that Mexican cartels are now making $13 billion a year smuggling illegal immigrants into the U.S., 26 times what they made in 2018. Drugs are pouring over the border and into our communities. 1,389 pounds of deadly fentanyl and 17,938 pounds of methamphetamine were seized at the southern border in March alone, with much more getting through. Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans age 18 to 45. According to Biden's own DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, cartels are "killing Americans with fentanyl at catastrophic and record rates like we've never seen before." Biden’s open border policies aren't compassionate; they are deadly. In just the past month: A Florida woman was kidnapped and repeatedly raped by three illegal immigrants from Guatemala. A “mentally incapacitated,” “physically helpless” 14-year-old girl from Alabama was raped by a 23-year-old illegal immigrant. Two people were stabbed in the back at a Missouri laundromat by an illegal immigrant. A 15-year-old girl housed in a taxpayer-funded hotel serving migrants in Massachusetts was raped by an illegal immigrant also staying in the hotel. An 18-year-old illegal immigrant on probation for assaulting his mother was recently arrested in connection with the murder of a California man found mutilated in his car. An illegal immigrant from Brazil charged with child rape was finally arrested after a Massachusetts District Court released him back into the community. The bottom line: When will the carnage end? When President Donald J. Trump is re-elected.   Stop the Abortion Amendment You can help stop the abortion amendment by joining the Pray Away Campaign by clicking the image below, or scanning the QR code, and by declining to sign the petition.   Presented Without Comment   Republican Party of Arkansas | 1201 W. 6th St, Little Rock, AR 72201 Unsubscribe [email protected] Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice Sent by [email protected] powered by Try email marketing for free today!
