Glenn Youngkin Calls for Increased\u2064 Border Security<\/h2>\n<p>Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, is making a strong case \u200cfor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-installs-razor-wire-along-new-mexico-border-to-block-illegal-crossings\/\" title=\"Texas uses razor wire to prevent illegal crossings along the New Mexico border.\">bolstering \u200bborder security<\/a> along the United States&#8217; Southern border. He emphasizes that illegal\u200c immigration has \u200bsparked a\u200d crisis that is affecting the entire nation.<\/p>\n<p>As \u2064the 2023 state elections in Virginia approach, Youngkin is placing a significant focus on the issues of illegal immigration\u200d and border security. He highlights the astonishing \u200bfact that the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S.\u2063 is nearly equal\u200b to the state&#8217;s\u2064 population of 8.7 million, which he finds \u2064&#8221;unbelievable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And this chaos that has not only created a humanitarian crisis is creating a national security crisis and a drug crisis, and\u200d we&#8217;ve seen the cartels press into all of the states, so now\u2064 every state is a border state,&#8221; \u200dYoungkin said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Youngkin also\u2063 draws attention to the drug \u200dcrisis plaguing\u200b the nation, which\u200c has had a significant impact on Virginia. He reveals that, on average, five \u200bstate\u200b residents\u200d die from fentanyl overdoses every day. To combat this, he emphasizes the need to secure the border and halt the flow of illegal drugs.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And we see it every \u2062day in the commonwealth,&#8221; Youngkin said. &#8220;Our law enforcement agencies are working hard \u200cin order to combat this. \u200cBut let\u200c me tell you, violent\u2064 crime is a real challenge because\u200b of gangs and drugs, and this all starts at the\u200c border.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Virginia\u200b is among the \u206314 states with Republican governors collaborating with Texas Governor Greg Abbott to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-rep-budd-introduces-bill-to-force-biden-to-build-the-border-wall\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Budd Introduces Bill To Force Biden To Build The Border Wall\">enhance border security<\/a> between their states and Mexico. Abbott has criticized President Joe Biden, accusing him of \u2063failing to fulfill \u2063his duties and allowing the largest influx of illegal\u200c immigration in \u2064U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>Youngkin,\u2064 who secured an unexpected victory in Virginia&#8217;s 2021 gubernatorial \u200belection, is determined to help shift the state&#8217;s Senate \u2064to Republican control\u2062 and maintain a Republican majority \u200bin\u2064 the House of Delegates. Currently, the Republican Party holds a narrow 48-46 \u2062majority in the House, while\u200c the Democrats have a 22-18 majority\u2062 in the state\u2062 Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump, \u2064who is\u200d running for president again \u200cin 2024, recently \u200cadvised his supporters not to vote and instead encouraged them to monitor\u2062 other voters to prevent fraud. Youngkin, however, has rejected Trump&#8217;s\u2064 suggestion, emphasizing\u200b the importance\u200d of every single vote.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been encouraging everybody \u2014 get out and vote,&#8221; Youngkin\u2064 said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s a \u200ckey component to us winning. Listen, these \u200dare tight races. Every single vote matters. And it&#8217;s the people that show up and vote. They&#8217;re \u2062going to decide \u2063the election. I want to get them all voting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Click here \u200cto read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2064 How does \u2062the \u2063economic impact of illegal immigration place an unfair\u2063 burden on \u2063American taxpayers?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Economic impact of illegal immigration,\u200d stating that it places\u2063 an unfair burden on American taxpayers. He argues that resources\u2064 that should be allocated to American citizens are instead being used to \u200dsupport illegal immigrants, which ultimately harms the nation&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Youngkin emphasizes the importance of national security and the need to protect American citizens from \u200dpotential threats. He asserts that the porous borders allow unauthorized individuals to\u2062 enter the country,\u200b potentially endangering the safety of \u200bAmerican communities. By strengthening border \u200bsecurity, Youngkin \u2062believes \u2064that the government can better control who enters the country and ensure the safety of \u200bits citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Youngkin underscores the role of drug cartels in the illegal immigration crisis. He claims that these criminal organizations take advantage of the weak border security to transport drugs and expand\u200d their operations within the United States. By securing the Southern border, \u200cYoungkin aims\u2063 to disrupt the operations of these cartels and\u2063 curb\u200d the flow of illegal substances \u2063into the country.<\/p>\n<p>To address these issues, Youngkin proposes implementing various measures. He \u2064suggests increasing the number of Border Patrol agents and enhancing \u2064their resources\u200c to effectively monitor \u2064and protect the border. Additionally, he calls\u2062 for\u200d the construction of physical\u200c barriers where necessary, such as walls or fences, \u200cto prevent\u200b unauthorized\u2064 entry.\u200b Youngkin also advocates for tighter \u2063immigration policies\u2063 and stricter enforcement to deter individuals from attempting to cross the border illegally.<\/p>\n<p>Critics \u200dargue that Youngkin&#8217;s focus on border security detracts\u2064 attention from other pressing issues facing the state\u2062 of Virginia. They claim that \u2063the emphasis\u200d on immigration may perpetuate \u2063xenophobia and\u200d divert\u200c resources\u200d from other \u2063essential areas,\u2064 such as healthcare \u200cand education. However, Youngkin remains steadfast in \u200bhis position, \u200cstating that securing the \u2063border\u200b is essential\u200b to ensuring \u2063the safety, economic prosperity, and sovereignty of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin is calling for \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-mark-kelly-calls-out-biden-for-not-including-a-border-crisis-plan-in-speech\/\" title=\"Sen.
