President Joe Biden's immigration policies have invited unfettered illegal immigration across our nation’s borders, while ignoring the plight of the American people. Biden's open-borders policies are disastrous for many reasons, but Biden has nobody but himself to blame for the brewing crisis at the Southern border.
Americans should remember that a nation without borders is not a nation at all. Every country in the world has some form of border control - China, Russia, Germany, Canada, Japan, England, Brazil, Singapore and the list goes.
Yet, in our country, it's as if the borders do not exist under Biden. Foreign nationals are now entering the United States with virtual impunity. It is unknown the actual number of illegal aliens entering the country, as authorities only report the number apprehended.
American citizens living along the Southern border and beyond are growing weary of illegal aliens committing crimes, even mutilating house pets and other brutal crimes against American citizens.
Furthermore, unaccompanied children of all ages cross into the United States illegally. Americans ask, "How do months-old babies, 2-year-olds, 5-year-olds, and 11-year-olds unaccompanied cross a border?
With ease, is the answer. What's worse, many of these illegal immigrants are not snuck into the country out of the supposed goodness of someone's heart, but for wholly illicit purposes
Children and adult illegal aliens have been used by criminal gangs as "mules" to smuggle drugs into the U.S. for decades.
Likewise, human traffickers are paid handsomely in billion-dollar industry to bring children across the border. President Trump decided to cut into this industry through several measures, but none were as effective as ending "catch-and-release" and his "Remain in Mexico" policies, in addition to convincing Mexico to crackdown on the industry as well.
Prior to Trump, illegal aliens, if apprehended, were released and expected to show up to their court hearings. Trump nixed that, and border crossings reduced dramatically. The 45th president also convinced Mexico to house immigrants applying for asylum in Mexico, rather than allowing asylum seekers to live in the U.S.
These policies were so impactful, the media ran stories about human traffickers out of work because of Trump's policies. Just at look this Los Angeles Times headline. "Coyotes earn a living smuggling migrant to the U.S. Not right now, one says."
"It’s just too hard to do the job right now," one smuggler said.
But Biden got rid of those policies and others, and in turn caused the surge that we now see. With the influx comes lack of health/medical examinations of entrants nor security checks in the middle of a pandemic.
On March 3, 20121, Breitbart.com carried photographs of many people wearing face masks and wearing tee-shirts that read, "BIDEN PLEASE LET US IN." The caption of the piece was, "PHOTOS: FOREIGN NATIONALS AT BORDER DEMAND JOE BIDEN RELEASE THEM INTO U.S."
According to the piece, the march of foreign nationals occurred the day before at the U.S. -Mexico border, near San Ysidro, California.
Americans are asking "Who is paying for the tee-shirts with the ‘BIDEN PEASE LET US IN’ logo? Is this surge of illegal migrants funded by hostile foreign powers to cause economic, financial, political, and medical harm to the United States? Why is the Biden administration so casual about American security?
No answer from White House nor questions by the American news media on any of these inquiries.
All the while, President Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claims that there is no crisis at the U.S.-Mexican border.
In March 2021, Texas Congress members, Henry Gonzalez (D.TX-20) and Henry Cuellar (D. TX-28) warned the Biden administration it must act to stop the border crisis. Cuellar's district includes Border Patrol Laredo Sector. A record 10,000 migrants were arrested in the last week of February 2021 by Border Patrol agents in Texas. Border Patrol officials say the recent 2,500 detainments in two days is just the beginning.
April and May are the months when most illegal border-crossers seek the American soil and its benefits. Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (D.TX-15) predicts that if the Biden administration continues to quickly release migrants seeking asylum, then it will tell tens of thousands of Central-Americans they can flood the border. This would be a catastrophe for the Democrats, our country, and his region.
The Democratic Congress members from Southern Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California realize Congressman Vicente Gonzales speaks the truth.
Republican and Democratic politicians from the Southern Border states know the reality, even if Biden is in denial.
The Southern Border is Biden's first major presidential disaster of his own making.
