Press Release: Gov. Little, 25 other governors request meeting with Biden on border crisis
By Press Release • September 21, 2021The following Press Release was sent out by Governor Brad Little:
Boise, Idaho – More than half the nation’s governors are calling on President Joe Biden to address the border crisis immediately.
Governor Brad Little joined 25 other governors in requesting an in-person meeting with President Biden to find solutions to the national security and public health crisis created by the unenforced border with Mexico.

Meth and fentanyl are the most serious and growing drug threats in Idaho, and there is a direct tie to the loose border with Mexico. America’s governors, including me, are asking the President to talk to us and work with us on solutions to the crisis,” Governor Little said.

“The months-long surge in illegal crossings has instigated an international humanitarian crisis, spurred a spike in international criminal activity, and opened the floodgates to human traffickers and drug smugglers endangering public health and safety in our states,” the letter states. “The negative impacts of an unenforced border policy on the American people can no longer be ignored.”

In July, Governor Little announced Idaho would send a specialized team of Idaho State Police troopers to assist with intelligence gathering and investigative work related to drug interdiction at the border. The troopers completed their weeks-long mission, serving both as a force multiplier for local efforts at a time when it’s needed along the border and, importantly, to bring back to Idaho the experience of seeing and learning up-to-the-minute enforcement techniques.
“While governors are doing what we can, our Constitution requires that the President must faithfully execute the immigration laws passed by Congress,” the governors said. “We come directly to you seeking an open and constructive dialogue regarding border enforcement on behalf of U.S. citizens in our states and all those hoping to become U.S. citizens.”

Here’s an idea: Just shut Idaho’s borders.
Guarantee the Whitehouse Imposter will contact you instead.
Effective, saves both time and money!
Just stop letting them stay in our state. You are doing sanctuary places in our state stop it
The border crisis is another hoax to keep us distracted. We don’t have a border crises we have a debt crises.
Debt is immoral.
When 2 people produce things and trade with each other both sides win both sides profit. When banks make a profit they remove created wealth from the pot and put none in. The collapsing country is a result of this. Charging interest is a crime and has been illegal for most of history.
We should all be focused on one thing. Banning international banking, banning interest and returning all banking functions to credit unions and non profits. Not nonsense like the imaginary border crises. (Hint: that’s why Brad Little is doing this. He is on the dark side.)
Little is probably acting and not serious here. He wants to look like he’s concerned in order to secure votes from citizens that DO CARE about this issue. Don’t be fooled. Demand that he ACT on his own to protect Idaho’s interests re the border incursions.
