Farm Bureau Urges Administration to Address Biden's Border Crisis

The American Farm Bureau Federation recently joined all 50 state Farm Bureaus and the Puerto Rico Farm Bureau in sending a letter urging the Biden administration to address the surge of undocumented immigrants entering the United States.

“The increase in illegal immigration is severely impacting farm and ranch families, putting property and personal safety at risk,” the letter, sent to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, said. The letter continues:

    We have been listening to the concerns of our members and hearing how their livelihoods are being affected by the surge [at] the border. They (farmers) shared how their crops and property are being damaged, which in turn has caused financial hardship. For example, these landowners are experiencing cut fences, destroyed crops, compromised water sources, vandalism, litter on their property, and more. Most importantly, the security and safety of these families are at stake given the current circumstances.
