Several states, including Texas, Louisiana, and Florida, have taken\u2062 measures such as mobilizing National Guard troops\u200c and\u2062 passing legislation to combat the fentanyl crisis. However, Democratic-led states continue to promote sanctuary policies\u200d and\u2063 the open border, leading to various consequences such as overwhelming hospital \u2063systems and sensational\u2064 crimes committed \u2063by illegal immigrants.\u200b The author urges the Biden administration and Democrats \u200cto prioritize \u200bsecuring the border for \u200bthe safety and security of all Americans.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Four years into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Joe Biden\u2019s\">Joe Biden\u2019s<\/a> presidency,\u00a0most people understand that the dysfunction coming out of Washington has given us a border crisis in which\u00a0every state has turned into a border state.
