Adrian, MI – Michigan State Senator Joe Bellino is sponsoring a resolution calling on President Joe Biden to protect Americans and local communities by reversing… what Bellino calls…failed open-border policies.
He said, in part: “My resolution condemns the national security and public safety crisis and urges the president to end his administration’s open-border policies that have allowed fentanyl to saturate our nation and take too many of our neighbor’s lives. This resolution mirrors one passed by Congress last month — with bipartisan support — to implore the Biden administration to use the tools already at its disposal to end the border crisis and protect all Americans.”
Senator Bellino said the rate at which known and suspected terrorists are being encountered along the southwest border has drastically increased under the Biden administration.
In 2023, more than 27,000 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the border — an 860% increase compared to 2019.
