Last month, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Katie Britt released her immigration platform, which calls for the reinstatement of former President Donald Trump’s border policies and significant reform to the nation’s legal immigration policies.
Monday, Britt released a 30-second advertisement titled “Secure the Border” that will run on television across the Yellowhammer State. The spot highlights her trip to the border and her plans to secure it.
“Illegal border crossings are at record highs,” Britt says in the ad, “the amount of fentynal entering our country has increased by 4,000%, and human traffickers are making millions a day selling women intro prostitution.”
The ad then features Britt in front of the southern border blasting Biden’s immigration record.
“[T]he fact that Joe Biden still hasn’t been to this border is a disgrace,” the candidate says while pointing to the border fence. “As Alabama’s senator I’ll fight to finish Trump’s wall, ban sanctuary cities, and deport criminal illegal aliens.”
The Senate candidate released a statement with the ad reiterating Biden’s failure while also promoting her tough stance on immigration.
“Joe Biden’s disastrous decisions and radical open borders agenda has led to both a national security and humanitarian crisis, as illegal crossings continue to set record highs,” said Britt. “Biden intentionally reversed the successful policies of President Trump, and the devastating consequences are being felt across America – including right here in Alabama. The chaos at the U.S.-Mexico border leads to danger for hardworking families in our state from deadly drugs, violent gangs, and terrorists. It’s far past time for the Biden Administration to wake up and defend our country’s sovereignty. In the Senate, I will fight to put America First.”
