In a recent interview, concerns about immigration and border security were brought up to Governor Haley. The individual questioned how the United States can provide housing, medical care, food, and education for the increasing number of people crossing the border, and how the cost of deportation would be covered. Governor Haley acknowledged these concerns, expressing that they are shared by many Americans and extend beyond just the southern border, but also include the often overlooked northern border.
Highlighting the magnitude of the issue, Governor Haley mentioned the staggering number of immigrants that have crossed the borders in recent times. She noted that only 142,000 individuals were sent back last year, while eight million immigrants entered the country on the northern border. Equally alarming was the mention of fentanyl, a deadly drug, crossing the borders in large quantities. Fentanyl has become the number one cause of death for adults aged 18 to 45.
