PLEASE CONGRESS – PUT ASIDE IDEOLOGY AND DO YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY

Congress has a responsibility to provide security for its citizens.  We are facing two real national security issues today.  Our southern border is wide open and people who have vowed to destroy us are entering.  Our national debt is now approaching $22 trillion dollars and growing.  Congress could take positive action against both threats by building a wall along our southern border.  It would certainly keep enemies out of our country.  It would also aid in reducing our debt since most of those entering our country illegally add to the rising national debt.
 
A group of sheriffs from around the country recently called on Congress to pass at least $5 billion toward building a wall along the 2,000-mile southwest border.
 
“The No. 1 issue facing all Americans, I don’t care who you ask, is the heroin epidemic that affects us all. And the Mexican drug-trafficking cartels dominate that industry and they’re controlling it coming into and throughout the United States. To every city, every urban area, every rural area in our country, the Mexican drug trafficking controls are seemingly doing it undetected, unmolested and unabated, and it’s time that we step up to the plate,” said Wicomico County Sheriff Michael Lewis during an interview after a recent Capitol Hill press conference about immigration law enforcement with sheriffs from counties across the country.
 
“It would make my job a lot of easier. I’m tired of dealing with overdoses. I’m tired of dealing with violent crime. I’m tired of dealing with human trafficking in our hotels all up and down U.S. Route 13 in Wicomico County, Md.,” he added. “And they’re there all the time and we’re making arrests all the time, but they keep coming and they keep coming because our borders are wide open.”
 
Lewis said that any additional funds to expand barriers along the southwest border would help improve security.
 
“Any implementation of greater security along our border will present challenges to the cartels. Will those challenges include tunneling beneath that wall? Absolutely, that’s what we deal with. But, trust me, we know how we’re going to build that wall. We know what it takes to build that wall,” he said.
