If our entire southern border isn\u2019t secure, our nation isn\u2019t secure. As dangerous transnational criminal organizations continue to profit from holes in the border and fill our communities with drugs, it\u2019s no coincidence that we\u2019re seeing historic levels of opioid-related deaths. The American Governors\u2019 Border Strike Force will serve as a force multiplier in the fight against criminal activity directly tied to our border. My thanks to my fellow governors who saw the problem and chose to be part of the solution,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the strike force also follows the Biden administration\u2019s recent announcement that it plans to end Title 42 in May, a Trump-era policy that allows the Border Patrol to turn away migrants at the southern border to help stop the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19 (such as highly effective vaccines and therapeutics), the CDC director has determined that an order suspending the right to introduce migrants into the United States is no longer necessary,\u201d the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6163803\/title-42-ending\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> in March.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns continue to grow that the policy change could lead to an additional spike in illegal crossings. Border officials are preparing for up to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/immigration-title-42-border-arrivals-spike-us-preparing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">18,000 illegal crossings<\/a>\u00a0per day, a number that could exceed 540,000 people per month.<\/p>\n<p>The costly response would also include a large increase in personnel. An additional 2,500 law enforcement officers, 2,750 support staff, and over 1,000 medical personnel at the southern border could be required, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-23-migrants-from-terror-list-stopped-at-southern-border-in-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to<\/a> a report by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Border Patrol apprehended at least 23 individuals included on the nation\u2019s terror watchlist last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-23-migrants-from-terror-list-stopped-at-southern-border-in-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to<\/a> CBP information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">\u201cBetween Jan. 20 and Dec. 27, 2021, there were 23 encounters with individuals whose names matched on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB),\u201d Fox News\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/border-patrol-people-terrorist-database-southern-border-2021-cbp-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The other governors joining the strike force include the governors of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
