As of January, &ldquo;60 Texas counties have invoked disaster declarations over the border crisis, and 50 Texas counties have passed resolutions declaring an invasion,&rdquo; according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What many people fail to comprehend is that Texas is facing a real threat to the safety and security of our citizens,&rdquo; Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/highlandcountypress.com\/news\/51st-texas-county-declares-invasion-southern-border#gsc.tab=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> the Center Square. &ldquo;This is not an immigration policy debate playing out but a constitutional threat to the sovereignty of Texas.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The border crisis is gobbling up billions more dollars in lodging costs for illegals, the report notes.

However, don&#8217;t expect the compliant corporate media to press Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris about the chaos that the Biden-Harris administration has unleashed through their harmful open border policies. Texas Representative Chip Roy is determined to highlight this issue. His office has released a comprehensive 36-page white paper titled &#8220;America Invaded: How the Biden-Harris Border Crisis is Fundamentally Transforming the United States,&#8221; which outlines the extensive damage caused by these policies. For nearly four years, Roy and his constituents in Texas&#8217;s 21st Congressional District have been grappling with the fallout, as have many other areas across the country facing an influx of illegal immigrants that has brought border issues into their communities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This document illustrates how our nation has deteriorated from a strong country governed by law\u2014welcoming immigrants legally\u2014to a chaotic and dangerous environment filled with individuals lacking any common ties,&#8221; Roy stated in a press release announcing the report&#8217;s publication. He emphasized that this summary of what he calls an invasion against American citizens is just scratching the surface, warning that our nation is being torn apart by issues ranging from deadly fentanyl to violent criminals and even known terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>The statistics are staggering. Since President Joe Biden took office alongside Harris, over 8.5 million illegal immigrants have crossed into the U.S., roughly equivalent to Virginia&#8217;s population. The catch-and-release policy implemented by their administration has allowed at least 5.6 million illegal aliens to settle within America while approximately 1.9 million &#8220;got-aways&#8221; evaded detection by overwhelmed U.S. Border Patrol agents\u2014totaling more than 7 million undocumented individuals entering under Biden\u2019s watch.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanying this surge are grave consequences: deadly fentanyl overdoses claimed around 75,000 American lives in 2023 alone\u2014over 200 deaths daily\u2014largely due to drugs trafficked by Mexican cartels using chemicals sourced from China.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most of us know someone affected by opioid overdoses, particularly those involving fentanyl,&#8221; remarked Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes after last year&#8217;s Fentanyl Family Summit, highlighting how these tragedies devastate families and communities alike.<\/p>\n<p>Roy\u2019s report also points out numerous victims of violent crimes linked to illegal immigration\u2014including horrific cases like that of Jocelyn Nungaray\u2014a young girl who was lured under a bridge and murdered by two undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Despite increased interceptions of criminals at borders, whistleblowers from DHS revealed on August 11, 2024, that nearly950 thousand violent offenders remain unidentified; DNA collection for almost70%of apprehended illegal crossers was neglected according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).<\/p>\n<p>Security officials warn that today&#8217;s border crisis could lead us toward another catastrophic event similar to September 11th; record numbers of terrorists are reportedly crossing into America unchecked\u2014with169 known or suspected terrorists arrested at southern borders during fiscal year2023 alone\u2014and it remains uncertain how many others may have slipped through undetected.<\/p>\n<p>Alarmingly enough, between fiscal years2021and2023at least99illegal aliens on terror watchlists were released back into society after being caught at borders while groups with potential terrorist connections exploit our porous boundaries for smuggling purposes\u2014including foreign nationals hailing from countries prone towards terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile drug cartels continue thriving financially off human trafficking operations raking in over$13 billion annually accordingto Roy\u2019s findings; recent alerts indicate hundreds-of-thousands children among illegals remain unaccounted for posing risks such as trafficking or forced labor exploitation due lack oversight under current administration policies regarding immigration enforcement measures taken thus far .<\/p>\n<p>Noneofthis should come as surprise givenBiden\u2019s early actions welcoming undocumented migrants even before assuming presidency including pledging moratoriums on deportations protecting sanctuary citiesfrom federal authorities urging asylum seekers surge towards US-Mexico border claiming \u201cwe could afford take another two million\u201d people fleeing oppression without compromising national security standards set forth previously established laws governing immigration processes .<\/p>\n<p>As public concern surrounding illegal immigration grows increasingly evident leading up upcoming elections bothBidenandHarris awkwardly attempt distance themselves crises they\u2019ve created despite once championing open-border rhetoric now facing backlash voters demanding accountability regarding safety implications stemming directly resulting decisions made during tenure thus far . <\/p>\n<p>The financial burden imposed upon taxpayers continues escalating rapidly too;
