While the Biden administration’s border policy has resulted in a humanitarian disaster for thousands of migrant children, it also threatens the safety and security of American children. Our children are most vulnerable to the failed border policies that currently exist under Biden’s Administration. Our children are falling prey to fatal overdoses as dangerous drugs flow over the border and into our communities and schools. The migration crisis at the U.S. southern border extends to communities hundreds, even thousands, of miles from the border, increasing threats of terrorism. fueling prostitution and human trafficking of American children and increased gang activity in our neighborhoods and schools. As a result of relaxed border enforcement, the risk of terrorist attacks has heightened, standards of education have been lowered, classrooms are overcrowded, violence in schools has increased, there is an increased threat for the return of eradicated viruses and our healthcare systems are overtaxed.
We all have a role to play in protecting children and ensuring their opportunity to achieve the American Dream is always available. We cannot be a free, safe, and secure country without defending our border. Parents, citizens, and community leaders must work together to educate our community about why securing our borders saves lives and protects our future. We must ensure that we put the right people in the right seats in government who will defend our borders.
