Lindsey Graham: United States Living on\u2062 &#8220;Borrowed Time&#8221; \u200dwith Open Southern Border<\/h2>\n<p>During an appearance on CNN&#8217;s State of the Union, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) expressed his concern about the\u200d impacts of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-senator-blasts-biden-for-halting-wall-construction-paying-contractors-billions-to-babysit-metal\/\" title=\"GOP Senator Blasts Biden For Halting Wall Construction: Paying Contractors Billions To \u2018Babysit Metal\u2019\">open southern border<\/a>, stating that\u2062 the United States is living on &#8220;borrowed time.&#8221; He emphasized the need for additional funding to address this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Graham\u2063 was asked about a recent military \u200baid package for Israel, which may not\u200c pass the Senate due \u200cto the withholding of aid for Ukraine. However, he pointed out that\u2063 a bill\u2062 encompassing\u200d funding\u2062 for border security, Ukraine, and Israel would likely receive approval.<\/p>\n<h3>A November to Remember: Upset or Beshear \u200bHome Dry?<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I believe there will be a bill that prioritizes border security,&#8221; Graham affirmed. &#8220;It would be absolutely insane not to fix our \u200dbroken border. We are running out \u200dof time, and our nation is under attack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Graham also stressed the importance of continuing funding for Ukraine, as he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin should not be allowed to \u200d&#8221;get away&#8221; with \u2064attacking Ukraine. He warned that \u200cif the U.S. withdraws support, it could embolden China to attack Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>The southern border has become a \u2062significant focus for Republican lawmakers, who\u2062 argue that securing it is crucial for safety reasons. Recently released\u2063 data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed that Border Patrol agents apprehended 15,267 individuals in fiscal year 2023 who had been convicted of crimes in the\u2062 United\u2064 States or other \u2062countries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Marco Rubio \u2064(R-FL) accused the Biden administration of manipulating border policy to appear compliant\u2064 with\u200b the law, describing it \u200cas a \u2063&#8221;word game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Their argument is\u200c that they are following the law,&#8221; Rubio explained on Hannity. &#8220;They claim that when someone crosses and seeks asylum, the law requires us to let \u2062them in and stay until their court \u200dhearing, even though many \u200bnever show up. So, they are using this argument to \u200bjustify their actions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-no-new-proactive-step-on-tiktok-deal-under-biden\/\" title=\"White House: No New \u2018Proactive Step\u2019 on TikTok Deal Under Biden\">potential national security risks<\/a> associated with an \u2064unsecured southern border?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ssed concerns about the \u2063current \u2063situation\u2064 at the United\u2063 States&#8217; open southern border,\u200c stating\u2064 that the country is living on &#8220;borrowed time.&#8221; Graham&#8217;s comments shed light on \u2063the\u2063 urgent need to\u2064 address and find a solution to the pressing issue of border security.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Graham, a prominent Republican figure, has long been a vocal\u200b advocate for strong \u200bborder control. His remarks on \u200bthe State of the Union \u200dreflect\u200b the growing concern \u2062among lawmakers and\u2062 citizens alike regarding the state of the southern border.\u200c The phrase &#8220;living on borrowed time&#8221; underscores the potential dangers and \u2063risks associated with \u2063an \u200cunsecured border.<\/p>\n<p>Graham&#8217;s point revolves around the fact that an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lindsey-graham-says-us-is-living-on-borrowed-time-regarding-broken-border\/\" title=\"Lindsey Graham warns US on 'borrowed time' with 'broken' border.\">open \u2064southern border poses\u200d significant threats<\/a> to national security and the well-being of\u2064 American \u200ccitizens. He argues that\u2062 without a secure border, the United States is\u200c vulnerable to \u200billegal immigration, drug\u200b trafficking, and \u2062potential infiltration by criminals\u2063 or \u2063terrorists. These\u200c risks\u2062 are not\u200d merely hypothetical but have been demonstrated by real-life events in recent\u2063 years.<\/p>\n<p>The senator&#8217;s concerns are justified, \u2064considering the surge in illegal border \u200bcrossings in \u200drecent\u200c months. The number of\u200c apprehensions at the southern \u200bborder has reached alarming\u2064 levels, with tens of thousands of individuals attempting to enter the United States illegally each\u200c month. \u200dThis surge has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/livestream-catches-how-us-border-guards-apparently-helped-line-of-illegals-beat-concertina-wire\/\" title=\"Livestream reveals US border guards aiding illegal migrants bypassing concertina wire.\">overwhelmed border \u2062patrol agents<\/a>\u2064 and \u200dstrained resources, making it increasingly difficult to properly process and \u2063detain those crossing the border unlawfully.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u200b an unsecured\u200d border has serious economic implications for\u200d the United\u2064 States.\u2063 The\u200c influx of undocumented\u200d immigrants \u200cnot \u200donly strains social services and public resources but \u200calso affects job markets and wages for American workers. Graham \u200demphasizes that without \u2064proper control over \u200bwho enters the country, the United States risks undermining its economy and exacerbating existing social issues.<\/p>\n<p>While border security has been a contentious topic, it\u200b is crucial to\u200d approach it with a\u2062 balanced \u2063perspective. Advocating for a secure border\u2062 does not\u2064 mean disregarding humanitarian concerns. Graham acknowledges the\u2063 importance \u200cof treating \u2062those seeking asylum \u2064or a \u200bbetter life with compassion \u200band fairness. Nonetheless, he stresses that strong \u2063border \u2063control measures are necessary to differentiate between those who genuinely require \u2062protection and those with malicious intent.<\/p>\n<p>In \u200dconclusion, Senator Lindsey Graham&#8217;s comments \u200con the State of the Union regarding the United States living on &#8220;borrowed\u2064 time&#8221; with an open southern border\u200d draw attention\u2063 to the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform and strengthened border security. The\u2064 nation cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the risks and \u2063challenges posed by an unsecured border. The welfare\u200d of American citizens and the nation&#8217;s security depend on finding a solution that balances \u200dcompassion with\u2062 the necessity of robust\u200c border \u2064control measures. It is time for policymakers and lawmakers to collaborate\u2062 and take\u200c decisive action to address this pressing issue before it worsens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
