Despite\u200b the alarming numbers released by Customs and Border Protection (CBP), congressional Republicans seem\u200d to be turning a blind eye.<\/p>\n<p>In October alone, CBP apprehended nearly a quarter of\u2064 a million illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border, setting a record high \u2063for the month. This adds to the already worsening border crisis caused by the Biden administration&#8217;s lenient enforcement\u200d policies.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2064numbers for September were \u200deven more shocking, with \u200cCBP arresting an\u200d all-time high of 269,735 illegals. This fiscal year&#8217;s total apprehensions have surpassed 2.47 million, \u2063indicating a\u2064 concerning upward trend compared to previous years.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important \u2064to note that these figures don&#8217;t\u200b include\u200b the over 1.7 million\u2064 &#8220;gotaways&#8221; who successfully evaded \u2063capture since Biden \u2062took office.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the dire \u200csituation, some House\u200d Republicans seem \u200bunconcerned. They\u2062 recently voted with Democrats \u200cto block \u2062a\u200b resolution\u200d for \u200bthe impeachment of Department\u2063 of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has allowed the crisis to continue\u2062 unaddressed.<\/p>\n<p>The eight Republican representatives who sided with Democrats are Darrell\u200c Issa, Tom\u2063 McClintock, John Duarte, Ken Buck, Patrick McHenry, Virginia Foxx, Cliff Bentz, and Mike Turner.<\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas has been criticized for\u2063 his \u200dfailure to secure\u200d the American homeland \u2062and for obstructing Republican inquiries. During a Senate committee hearing, he evaded questions\u2064 about unlawful border crossings \u2062and refused to\u2062 address the \u2064support shown by a\u2062 DHS employee\u2064 for Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it&#8217;s\u200c not just these eight House \u200dRepublicans\u2063 who are protecting the Biden administration. House GOP leadership, led by \u200dSpeaker\u200b Mike Johnson, is preparing\u200b to pass a continuing resolution that does nothing to address the ongoing disaster \u2063at the border. This has sparked opposition from the House Freedom Caucus, who rightly point out the proposal&#8217;s failure to prioritize border security.<\/p>\n<p>The continuing \u200cresolution lacks\u200d spending reductions and \u2062meaningful wins for\u200b the American people. \u200dThe House Freedom Caucus emphasizes the need for\u200c bold change and\u2064 urges Republicans to\u2063 stop negotiating against themselves.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Shawn\u200d Fleetwood is \u2064a staff writer for The \u2062Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.

These \u200cnumbers\u2064 reflect a \u2062clear and\u200c urgent problem that demands immediate attention and action.<\/p>\n<p>However, instead of addressing \u200cthis crisis head-on, Republicans\u200b have been largely silent. This lack of response is disappointing and raises questions about their commitment to protecting\u2063 our nation&#8217;s borders and enforcing immigration laws.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062consequences of Biden&#8217;s failed border policies are significant and\u200d far-reaching. Not only are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/does-anyone-in-congress-care-that-a-quarter-of-a-million-illegal-immigrants-were-arrested-in-october\/\" title=\"Does Anyone In Congress Care That A Quarter Of A Million Illegal Immigrants Were Arrested In October?\">illegal immigrants overwhelming government resources<\/a> and straining the immigration system, but the safety \u200dand security of American citizens \u200dare also at risk. Drug trafficking, human \u2062smuggling, and other criminal activities have surged \u200das a result of the lax enforcement measures put in place by the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have \u200calways emphasized the need \u2063for strong border security and\u200b strict\u2063 immigration policies. They \u200chave been vocal opponents of amnesty and have \u2063consistently \u2064advocated for strong enforcement \u200dmeasures. Therefore, it is perplexing why they are\u2063 not actively speaking\u2064 out against Biden&#8217;s disastrous border \u2063crisis.<\/p>\n<p>One possible explanation is that Republicans fear political backlash\u2062 from their constituents. With a growing number of Americans \u2062expressing\u2062 support for more lenient immigration policies, Republicans may\u200b feel pressured to align\u2062 themselves with these sentiments rather than focusing on the detrimental effects of Biden&#8217;s border policies.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u200d the consequences of\u200d inaction \u2064far \u200boutweigh any perceived political risk. By failing to address the\u200d border \u200dcrisis, Republicans are neglecting their duty to protect the interests and safety\u200b of the American people. It \u2064is their responsibility\u2064 to hold the Biden administration accountable and demand immediate and \u2062effective action to secure our borders.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the lack of Republican\u200b response further undermines \u200dthe credibility of the party and erodes \u200bpublic trust. Americans expect their elected officials to prioritize the well-being of the country and to act in the best interest of the people. By\u200b remaining silent \u2064on \u200csuch a pressing issue, Republicans are failing to fulfill\u2064 their responsibilities as representatives.<\/p>\n<p>The border crisis is not a partisan issue; \u2064it \u200bis\u200b a national issue that requires bipartisan cooperation and swift \u200caction. Republicans\u2062 must put politics aside and unite in holding the Biden administration accountable for its failed policies. They \u200dmust demand increased border security measures, \u200cstricter enforcement of immigration laws, and effective solutions to address the root causes of\u200c illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Time is of the essence. Every day that passes without action \u2062is another day that our borders are vulnerable and our nation&#8217;s security is compromised. Republicans must find their voice and act now to address this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-rep-murphy-fentanyl-crisis-direct-result-of-joe-bidens-reckless-open-border-policies\/\" title=\"Exclusive \u2014 Rep.

The alarming \u2062numbers released\u2063 by CBP \u2064highlight the urgent need for\u2063 immediate action. \u2063It is disheartening and concerning that Republicans have failed to address this \u200dcrisis and hold the administration\u200b accountable. \u2063The consequences \u200dof \u2062inaction\u2062 are severe, \u200cand\u200d Republicans must find \u200cthe courage to speak\u2063 out and demand effective\u2064 solutions to secure our borders and protect the American people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s actions at America&#8217;s southern border have caused an unprecedented crisis.
