Illegal immigration must be addressed in special session

We write to encourage a call to action. We must immediately address the illegal immigration happening in Montana. 

We, as well as many Montanans have seen the numbers ­— fentanyl confiscation in Montana up by 20,000%, sex trafficking up by 116%, illegal immigration at our northern border up 597% with over 10,000 illegal immigrants encounters per month. 

These inexpiable numbers indicate two things: The failure of the Biden administration to protect America from the influx of crime caused by the illegal immigration crisis on our border, and the need for the Montana Legislature to act where the federal government fell short.
