John – In case you missed it, Senator Ron Johnson held an event yesterday speaking out on Biden’s Border Crisis.
Johnson's event focused on a surge of migration and problems with human trafficking and illicit drugs. Johnson spoke of his own experiences touring the border, including meeting two little girls who were unaccompanied as they crossed into the United States. "Why are we not screaming as a nation?" said Mark Morgan, who served during the Trump administration as commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and harshly criticized the Biden administration as he called for the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas, U.S. Homeland Security secretary. "It's not a right or left issue. It's an American issue. We have to secure our borders," Morgan said. "What we’re doing today is not humane," said Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council. The union that represents around 18,000 Border Patrol agents endorsed Trump in 2016 and 2020. After the event, the union announced it was endorsing Johnson in his reelection campaign against his Democratic rival, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes. During the presentation, Johnson was also joined by three Wisconsin sheriffs and Lauri Badura, founder of Saving Others for Archie, named after her son who died of an accidental overdose. "I feel like fentanyl is in everything," she said. Law enforcement has accused Mexican cartels of manufacturing fentanyl and moving it illegally across the border to the United States. Now more than ever, we need Ron Johnson’s leadership to bring awareness to the Biden Border Crisis – a catastrophe that’s resulting in illicit drugs flowing into the country and Wisconsin at an alarming rate. New July border numbers show 199,976 illegal immigrants were apprehended attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border – a 325% increase from the average number of July apprehensions during the Trump administration.
