  1. Gabby Petito
  2. The Southwest border has been inundated in recent months with a surge in unauthorized crossings not seen in more than two decades. More than 200,000 people crossed last month, bringing the total this fiscal year to more than 1.5 million. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/16/us/texas-migrants-del-rio.html

4) In the Period of October to August from 2018- 2021, There have been 30-50% decline in the amount of drug seizures in 2021 compared to prior years. I would relate this to the fact that the border has become so flooded with people, on top of the lake of resources given to border patrol agents, that they are so overwhelmed and will not be able to conduct the Border drug operations as needed. This is concerning because Fentanyl use has been sky rocketing the last several years so there is not a decline in drug importation.

5) Transfer Portal Rules in College football has taken away loyalty from our young men. We have made quitting in America the status quo. We have softened our society and made it seem like it is ok just because you have mental illness. What qualifies as mental illness?

Injuries in football have actually increased since rules have been implemented to try and cut down on injuries. We have made it’s ok to stay home from practice and kids these days do not practice every day in a sport where practice and repetitions are a key correlation to reducing injuries.
