Secure the Border

Campaign Update: Total Encounters Exceed 7 Million
As of the start of fiscal year 2021, the southwest border has had a staggering 7,072,733 encounters. This has been a constant issue that has been brought to our lawmakers’ attention for over a decade. Yet, nothing has been done to address the issue. The amount of people flowing into this country continues to grow at profound rates. The additional debt burden that the citizens will be beholden to directly from this issue is absurd, especially when most lower and middle class families are fighting to barely get by.

Population by State

If you were to list the states by population, the encounter number of 7,072,733 is greater than the populations of the samllest 35 states. There are only 15 states with a population over approximately 7 million people.

Perspective of Concern

Now, let’s do a little math! If you take the encounter number and multiply it by a percentage, you can derive some eye opening info, but what percentage you ask?

Let’s use 0.0001. Equation: 7,072,733 X 0.0001= 707.xxxx.

The concern if 0.0001% encounters allowed to enter the country are terrorists, By this calculation, the government has allowed the infiltration of our country by an estimate of 700 people with the potential to harm American citizens.

The attacks on September 11th were carried out by about 20 terrorists, This is an alarming matter of national security.
