As a concerned citizen of the United States, I am deeply troubled by the growing sense of insecurity among my fellow Americans. We are increasingly worried about our safety due to the influx of illegal immigrants and potential threats from terrorist organizations entering our country. It is time for us to take immediate action.

The United States, known worldwide as a beacon of freedom and opportunity, has always been a destination for immigrants seeking better lives. However, it is crucial that we maintain control over who enters our country to ensure national security and public safety. According to the Pew Research Center, an estimated 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants lived in the U.S in 2017 (Pew Research Center). While many come with peaceful intentions, there remains a risk that some may pose threats.

Moreover, intelligence agencies have repeatedly warned about terrorist organizations exploiting immigration systems worldwide (FBI reports). These concerns cannot be ignored.

We call on our government to immediately close all borders until we can establish robust systems that effectively screen and manage those who wish to enter our country. This measure will help restore confidence among American citizens while ensuring their safety and security.

We urge you - lawmakers and decision-makers - take this plea seriously for the sake of your constituents' peace of mind and well-being. Please sign this petition if you believe in prioritizing American safety by implementing immediate border closures.
