United States Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) undermined her own attack on President Joe Biden’s immigration policies surrounding illegal drugs that have been intercepted by Customs and Border Patrol during a Tuesday House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee hearing.
“I want you to know that in 2020 there were 4,800 pounds of fentanyl seized by CBP. But in 2021, fiscal year 2021, it increased to 11,200 pounds of fentanyl was seized by the CBP. That is a direct result of Biden administration failure policies,” said Greene. “Now here we are in – to date, to date, fiscal, fiscal year 2023 – they have already seized 12,500 pounds of fentanyl. The Biden administration is failing this country by not protecting our border and securing our border, and stopping Chinese fentanyl from being brought into our country illegally by the cartels, and people are dying every single day because of it.”
Under the Biden administration, Customs and Border Patrol officers are seizing tons of fentanyl from couriers trying to smuggle the drug across the US-Mexico border, yet, Greene calls this a failure to protect our border. She does not know what “seized” means.
The word ‘seized’ when referring to the border, means something was taken at the border and not permitted to come into the US. So, the Biden administration has stopped more fentanyl from getting past the border and into America than the Trump administration.
