21.5 million. That's how many lethal doses of fentanyl Texas law enforcement seized from illegal immigrants trying to cross the border in just the first four months of 2021. This is the equivalent of 95 pounds. 2.2 pounds of fentanyl can kill 500,000 people.




Deadly Policies [[link removed]]




Biden's open border policies are deadly, and the crisis is only getting worse. Illegal border crossings have increased every single month since Biden became President.




Reports indicate that in the month of June alone, 188,829 illegal immigrants were apprehended trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. That is a 471% increase over last June.




This is the sad result of Biden's own actions. By ending President Trump's Remain in Mexico policy, halting construction of the border wall, instructing border agents to release adult migrants from custody without set court dates, etc., Biden has ended effective border policies and caused the crisis.




Biden's actions reversed progress almost immediately and it is now imperative that Texas takes action. In Texas, we are doing everything we can to keep our communities safe. This includes increasing border security funding to $1.2 billion and allocating a $250 million down payment for a border wall.




Border security has always been a top priority for me, and we will do all that we can to fix the crisis and return stability to our border communities.




Please continue to keep our state and our nation in your prayers. May God bless you and your family, and may He continue to bless the greatest state of all—Texas.




Sincerely,




Dan Patrick [[link removed]]
