President Biden Acknowledges Border Smuggling Crisis in State of the Union Address, USHBC Calls for Action
"Just two weeks ago, I visited the border for a South Texas Town Hall our association hosted. The surge of fentanyl, illicit vapes, and counterfeit medicine crossing our borders was a prominent concern, and the community made it clear that the crisis is not abating. The numbers don't lie—fentanyl has become the primary cause of death for adults aged 18-45, nearly 3 million underage individuals are using illegal vapes, and the counterfeit medicine trade has surged to a staggering $430 billion.
I urge President Biden to follow through on his statements tonight. This is not a Republican issue or a Democrat issue – this is an American crisis. For too long, administrations have kicked this can down the road. The era of postponement has ended; action is imperative."
