LIVE: Senator John Kennedy Fumes: Biden’s Open Border Helps Cartels And Terrorists LIVE | N18L

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, spoke on the Senate floor, warning the Biden administration that terrorists, cartel members and sex offenders are exploiting the chaos at the border to enter our country illegally. Kennedy urged President Biden to work with conservatives to secure the border and address this ongoing national security threat. “You can cut the irony with a knife. After years of presenting themselves as ‘sanctuary cities,’ officials—many of them well intentioned—throughout the country learned in 2023 that the crisis at our border is not just a problem for southern states like Texas, Arizona and even my state. It’s an American crisis. Today, President Joe Biden’s failed border policies have wreaked havoc in every single corner of the United States, including Louisiana. “According to one estimate, and it’s not the only estimate, but I think this is a very telling estimate—Louisianians pay an additional $4,613 an illegal migrant—that’s about $604 million per year—in state taxes because of illegal immigration. . . . That’s happening at a time when Louisiana families are also having to come out of pocket with an extra $800 per month to deal with inflation.” #senatorkennedy #joebiden #bordercrisis #news18live n18oc_world
