I realize there are many problems for President Biden to resolve, but I believe one important duty is being forgotten or ignored: the duty to protect the people and provide security and safety for all Americans.
Biden announced at the G-7 Summit that the United States will be donating coronavirus vaccines to 100 countries to address a global shortage. During his speech in England, he noted it is our responsibility, our humanitarian obligation, to save as many lives as we can. I agree, but don’t the president and his administration realize we are killing Americans every day here with drugs by not securing the border and protecting our people?
To fix the border and save lives, we need to admit a mistake was made by undoing President Trump’s policies and orders. It’s time to quit playing politics, saying the border is secure when everyone knows it is not. If we continue to let the border be as it is today, more Americans will die as drugs continue to come into our country. Just look at the amount of drugs being confiscated this year.
This border crisis is killing Americans. The president should not ignore or forget his responsibility to protect the people of the United States and save lives here.
