Sen. John Thune
April 14, 2021
Tweet - "Conditions at our southern border are dire -- Ds can't deny it, so they're trying to hide it (by blocking press). Pres. Biden & VP should find time to see it. Maybe then they'll make needed policy changes. Until they do, good efforts by @CBP are just band-aids on a cracked hull."
Sen. John Thune
April 13, 2021
Tweet - "If Democrats want to make impactful infrastructure investments, how about resuming (already paid for) wall construction at the southern border? Let's start there."

Sen. John Thune
April 3, 2021
Tweet - "The March jobs report is resounding evidence that, under @HouseDemocrats & @POTUS, Help Is Here. Over 100M vaccine doses & 100M checks have been delivered and nearly $1 trillion are being put in workers' pockets by the life-saving #AmericanRescuePlan."
Sen. John Thune
April 1, 2021
Tweet - "Heard many stories of kids in dangerous situations b/c this admin made them a loophole to game the system: 5-year-old kids traveling alone, 2-year-olds w/ strangers -- CBP officers see it every day. Mr. President, this is what an open border looks like (special character)"
Sen. John Thune
April 1, 2021
Tweet - "Powerful footage exposing how smugglers/cartels are brazenly exploiting Biden's policies to traffic vulnerable women & children into our country at a profit of over $14 million/ day (special character).

March 26, 2021
Tweet - "Midnight on the Rio Grande -- visible lights from smugglers on the Mexican side of the border. Hearing stories that these smugglers are charging upwards of $6,000, much of which flows to drug cartels."
Sen. John Thune
March 26, 2021
Tweet - "What I'm seeing on the border is harrowing: facilities are dangerously overcrowded, border patrol officers are overwhelmed & under-supported, smugglers (often w/ties to drug cartels) are profiting massively, hundreds of scared kids are on their own."
Sen. John Thune

Sen. John Thune
March 19, 2021
