WASHINGTON – On Sunday, Kansas. U.S. Senator Roger Marshall joined 14 of his Senate GOP colleagues in sending a letter to Conference Chair John Barrasso, M.D. (R-Wyo.) requesting a meeting of the Conference the week of January 8, 2024 to discuss the negotiations with President Biden and Senate Democrats regarding border security. 

On social media Marshall wrote, "We have 300 Americans dying every single day from fentanyl poisoning, hundreds of terrorists trying to exploit our borders, & millions of ‘gotaways’ here in our communities nationwide."

"Americans deserve a transparent process with REAL, thoughtful solutions - not closed-door rushed negotiations from the same individuals whose policies created the crisis in the first place."
