A nation without borders is not a nation. But ever since President Biden took office, he and the radical Left have worked to enact the most sweeping parts of their immigration policies, putting America on track to become the only nation in the world where anyone can freely cross the border.
The consequences of their open-border agenda are devastating. In a matter of just 18 months, our southern border has descended into complete chaos.
Regular migrant caravans are crossing the Rio Grande, guided in plain sight by drug cartel “coyotes” who force migrants making a dangerous journey to pay them hefty sums to get them into our country.
I find it ironic that liberal big city mayors, like Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser – who previously declared their cities to be “sanctuary cities” are now expressing concern about the number of migrants who are ending up in their communities because they don’t have the resources to care for the sheer number of people arriving.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently went as far to say the southern border is “secure.” Days before Mayorkas made his ridiculous statement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) – a federal agency he’s in charge of – announced that June marked the fourth consecutive month of OVER 200,000 encounters with illegal immigrants – that’s a 527% increase in apprehension compared to the last June of President Trump’s administration.
But the most concerning statistic is the number of suspected terrorists caught trying to cross our southern border.
In June, an additional six illegal immigrants apprehended at the border were on the terrorist watch list, bringing the total to 56 since October 2021.
That’s nearly twice as many in the previous four years combined. Just last week, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray warned that the staggering number of illegal immigrants crossing the border “represents a significant security issue and represents a wide array of criminal threats that flow out of it.” Hopefully, Biden – or whoever is in charge at the White House – won’t punish Director Wray for telling the truth about the realities our border states are facing.
On an oversight trip to the border earlier this year, I was told by Border Patrol agents that the border is secure – but only on the Mexican side. The dangerous Mexican Cartels have control of our border and are making billions of dollars smuggling humans and deadly, illegal drugs through the many open gaps in border wall.
