The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is currently hosting its annual two-day event โ โHold Their Feet to the Fireโ โ which is a gathering of radio show hosts, members of Congress, dozens of immigration activists and even a few non-radio media members including your very own American Liberty News โ who were invited to attend the event this year. The purpose of the event is to have the tough conversations about immigration that most in the mainstream media refuse to have.

Sheriff Mark Lamb of Pinal County, Arizona, and of โLive PDโ and โ60 Days Inโ fame, was one of this year's attendees. Pinal County is located between the cities of Phoenix and Tucson.
I had the chance to ask Sheriff Lamb a few questions today and get his thoughts on why he had come to Washington this year to share the extreme impacts of illegal immigration that he sees every day back home in Arizona, as well as what Washington can do about it.
When asked about specific policies Washington could enact to make the lives of sheriffs like himself easier, Lamb first pinpointed what he sees as โa key problem in this countryโ โ โthat we don't understand the three branches of government anymore.โ Each branch is in place to do its job and from the sheriff's perspective, that's not currently happening.
The number one problem that his officers face every day, Lamb said was fentanyl, an issue that President Biden and most Washington, D.C. politicians rarely touch on. Most fentanyl that comes into the United States makes its way through Pinal County, due to the I-10 corridor. Lamb praised the brave officers in his department who are on that interstate every day trying to stop the flow of drugs, as well as human beings who are also smuggled through his jurisdiction illegally.
Still, he emphasized that fentanyl is the leading cause of death amongst Americans between the ages of 18 and 45. Last year in Arizona, Lamb told me there were 33 children who died from fentanyl โ seven of them were under the age of one. (RELATED: China Working With Drug Cartels to Keep Flooding US With Opioids)
When prompted, Lamb said he would welcome a visit from Biden as he could not recall a time when Biden had visited the border โ either during his time as president or tenure as vice president. โI do not agree with these guys at all, but I have respect for the positions of president and vice president.โ
The sheriff's first and foremost request to the administration is simple. He โwould actually like to see them do their job โ protect our border, secure it.โ The easiest thing they can do is first โgo back to the Trump-era policies, as we know those worked.โ He said that the Biden administration should should โstart there, and then build from there.โ In another effort to highlight the differences between the current administration and their predecessors, Lamb said that he wants to see partnerships restored between federal agencies and local agencies. He emphasized a stark difference between the โopen line of communication that existed under Trumpโ and the lack of communication he experiences now.

He wouldn’t show up if you paid him. None of his lying staff is going to do anything or talk to anybody about the immigration problem because they think there isn’t one.
The Open Border crisis is intentional! Intentional, as in Biden wants it open. He is not trying to fix anything.
Old Joe is not running this Country, look back to the 44th President and his Shadow Goverment.
The venomous little secrets behind the DemonCrats facilitating and ignoring the massive border influx are two: (1) They are hoping for a permanent political underclass who will forever vote Democratic to obtain ‘free stuff;’ (2) They hope to disrupt and anarchize our social fabric so that their secret police can move in and take over. The protocols of Alinsky, Lenin and Marx support these orchestrations.
Yeah! Sure! The Feds are really gonna listen to him, just because he is on the scene and doing his job. Hah!!!
We had a man who was born in Kenya that hoodwinked the American people. I would say this screams that we have an immigration problem.
