Senator Katie Britt accused President Biden of inviting and failing to address a border crisis through executive actions that halted deportations and construction of the border wall within his first 100 days.
She said her visits to the border led Border Patrol agents and victims to tell her that human trafficking has increased under Biden, with the drug cartels now profiting $13 billion annually from trafficking compared to $500 million previously.
Britt said, “Look, I very specifically said this is what President Biden did during his first 100 days. Minutes after coming into office, he stopped all deportations. He halted construction of the border wall. And he said I am going to give amnesty to millions, those types of things. Act as a magnet to have more and more people here. I then said in his first 100 days, he had 94 executive actions. And those executive actions didn’t just, create the crisis. They invited it.”
Britt argued Biden’s policies have empowered drug cartels and claimed the media is not adequately covering how trafficking has worsened during his administration.
She framed this as a story of the drug cartels currently winning due to Biden’s approach.
“I then contrasted it with my first 100 days. Shannon, I went to the border three times in my first 100 days in office, and when I was there, I asked for the real, unvarnished truth. I wanted to sit down. I asked the Border Patrol agents. I asked the people there. I asked the victims, previous victims of drug cartels, tell me what it’s like. Tell me what we need to do. Tell me what we need to know,” Britt said.
“The truth is, and the media knows that they’re not covering it, that human trafficking has gone up under President Biden,” Britt said.
“If you look back under 2018, it was a $500 million industry, human trafficking by the drug cartels. It is now a $13 billion industry. Shannon, the drug cartels are winning under this. This is a story of what is happening now,” she said.
