Sheriff Mark Lamb of Arizona has a stern message for Biden at the border: 'Apologize' first

As President Biden prepares to visit the southern border for the first time during his presidency, Sheriff Mark Lamb of Pinal County, Arizona, shared strong messages for Biden ahead of the visit.

To start off with, the president — when he arrives at the southern border after many years of not visiting the border even when he was in a position of influence to do so, said Lamb — "must say he's sorry to the men and women" of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Lamb told Fox News Digital, and to all others in law enforcement who have worked hard to do their jobs under excruciatingly challenging conditions. "I want to have success at the border. I don't want Joe Biden to fail as a president. I don't want America to fail."  "We also have the I-10 Interstate running through the heart of our county. And that is one of the main arteries for the Mexican cartels." A lot of people are more impacted by the problems right now related to America's border security "by coming to our county" and seeing what's going on, said Lamb.

Added Lamb, "He's also got to apologize to the American people" — people who have lost loved ones to crime and drugs as a result of the porous border.
