National Moms Group Demands End to Crisis at the Border
Moms For America cites fentanyl deaths, crime, and sex trafficking as threats to American communities and families
April 29, 2023 – The alarming rise in fentanyl deaths, crime, and sex trafficking across America have led the nation’s leading group of moms to call for an end to the humanitarian crisis at our southern border. Moms For America made the pronouncement at a press conference today preceding a rally at the Texas State Capitol, titled “How Many More?, a Rally to Demand Action.” The rally featured rock star Ted Nugent, U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R, TX-21), former Border Patrol chief Mark Morgan, and many other prominent politicians and activists.
“Unlike some of our top elected officials, I’ve actually visited the southern border, and what I saw there deeply saddened me,” said Kimberly Fletcher, Founder, President, and CEO of Moms For America. “We’re calling for an end to the humanitarian crisis at the southern border for the sake of the children who cross our border as well as those who cross the threshold of our homes every day. Only when we limit access to our border will drugs, crime, and sex trafficking stop hurting our communities and families.”
Since federal officials have failed to secure our border, Moms For America is asking Texas state lawmakers to declare that there is an ongoing invasion of our southern border, define Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, seize cartel bank accounts and assets, and establish a Texas Border Defense Unit to protect Texans.
“We want to stop the abuses, which primarily affect women and children, that are taking place all along the Texas border,” said Perla Hopkins, Texas State Director for Moms For America. “We need immediate action to end this humanitarian crisis.”
Founded in 2004, Moms for America is a national, non-profit 501c3 educational corporation rooted on the principles of liberty and virtue our nation was founded on, and focused on promoting these principles, values, and virtues in the home and family, particularly through the women and mothers of America.
