Under Joe Biden's Presidency, America saw a surge of over 2.3 million illegal immigrants from all over the world that entered into the Southern border. Biden's revocations of Trump policies and restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol agencies turned border enforcement agents into social workers. There were so many individuals to process, that Border Patrol used most of its agents to handle paperwork and asylum statuses. The real border enforcement had to be supplemented by the National Guard, which did not have the authority to apprehend illegal immigrants. Thus, a dangerous situation was left; illegal immigrants from all over the world came into country, just passing through in the sight of border agents. Outnumbered and sometimes, outgunned, it would be nearly impossible for small groups of border enforcement to handle the thousands of migrants entering in at any given time. Thus, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants were able to escape apprehension, meaning that there could possibly be over a million undocumented individuals who have entered the country without the government knowing it. That would mean that over 3 million individuals have entered the United States illegally.
Due to Biden's revocations, all 1.9 million illegal immigrants that have been apprehended will be released into the United States. Basically, apprehension is just another statistic and does not mean they have been deported. The increase in illegal immigrants coming into our country has led to a rise in fentanyl drug trade and other illicit drugs. As a result, there have been 100,000 overdose deaths in 2021. The border crisis has also led to the deaths of many migrants. Some migrants drowned in waters, died in deserts, or were killed in accidents. Armed hitmen have also entered into the United States, killed 2 U.S citizens, and even clashed with border patrol.
The Supreme Court demanded that President Biden reinstate one of Trump's policies called Remain in Mexico. Biden defied the order for almost a month. He eventually reinstated it but has been using the Department of Homeland Security to leave it unenforced. Only 230 individuals have been processed under the Remain in Mexico program in December. Since the reinstating of Remain in Mexico, Biden has tried to revoke the order in several ways, but attempts so far have failed. Furthermore, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ handling of border policy has violated Remain in Mexico. Secret flights, use of ICE resources, and trafficking of illegal immigrants all across the country who are supposed to be deported is in direct violation of Remain in Mexico. The Biden Administration is breaking the law as the Supreme Court ordered them to reinstate the policies. In using the Department of Homeland Security to enforce ‘shadow policies’ they effectively work against the public policy provisions of Remain in Mexico, thus violating the law.
Biden made tent cities to house illegal immigrants before they were released into the United States. The conditions at these facilities were the same as Trump’s, if not worse. The government packed so many people into these facilities that social distancing was impossible. Coronavirus soon spread at these facilities, but instead of quarantine, they released these individuals into the country. Trump was criticized for putting "kids in cages." But Biden has left them in aluminum foil blankets, tent cities, and packed facilities with some children being exposed to sexual abuse and rape by other illegal immigrants.
Biden and Kamala Harris' response to the immigration crisis was lacking. Kamala Harris made a few trips to Central American countries and used the slogan "root causes" in trying to determine why there was a sudden spike in illegal immigration crossings into the United States. None of what Biden and Harris did actually solved the problem, but only caused it. The whole response was political from the start. Biden tried to blame President Trump for a broken immigration system and repeatedly denied that there was even a crisis.
On February 2nd, 2021, Biden established a task force to reunify family members that were separated from previous immigration policies. Another order enhanced programs for refugee resettlement and cited the Climate crisis as a cause for migration. President Biden used the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help slow down illegal immigration at the Southern Border, but this effort failed. On March 24th, 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris was tasked with handling resolutions related to the handling of unaccompanied minors at the border. Later, she was named the Border Czar and was given the task of handling the Southern border. Harris was not present to fulfill her new duties and to this day she still has not. Harris did make a visit to Texas to see the border crisis, but she never actually went to the border, she only did a conference outside of an airport. It took Biden until April 18th, 2021 to finally acknowledge that the border crisis had gotten out of control. During the border crisis, Biden raised the refugee cap to 62,500, but many more illegal immigrants were entering the country than that and were still allowed to stay. This was due to the Catch and Release policy that Biden reinstated. The policy essentially lets illegal immigrants come in, be processed, and then released into the country with a court date. Almost none of the illegal immigrants actually show up to their day in court and they are simply unaccounted for. By June, the CBP statistics confirmed that 1,119,204 illegal immigrant apprehensions had occurred since January of 2021. In July the number of illegal immigrant apprehensions rose to 1,331,822. The numbers kept going up until they reached a final statistic of 2.1 million apprehensions and 400,000 confirmed gotaways.
In his first day in office, President Biden cancelled the funding for the border wall that was appropriated by Congress during Trump’s Presidency. All the contractors that had setup to build the wall and were continually building it were ordered to stop. This cost millions of dollars to cancel the contracts. Instead of wasting the remaining funds to cancel the contracts on border wall construction, Biden could have simply left it alone and the wall would have been completed, thus the money would have been used for its intended purpose and the border crisis would have been prevented. The wall had already been built and was almost complete. Biden’s decision to cancel the remaining construction left pockets in the wall where illegal immigrants could easily come in from, thus defeating the purpose of building a wall for the past 2 and a half years. However, Biden approved a project on the Rio Grande levee but since then, has not committed to continuing construction of the border wall.
President Biden has allowed over a two million illegal immigrants to enter the country. But for some reason, the media picked up on Haitian migrants housed under a bridge, but not the humanitarian crises, the out-of-control flooding of the border, and the Administration’s failed handling of the crisis. Biden ordered the deportation of these Haitians yet for some reason lets illegal immigrants from all over the world enter our country illegally. The actual amount deported was minimal and most were released according to reports. Biden used the Haitian migrants as a publicity stunt to make the media run the narrative that he was handling the border crisis which they themselves do not cover. The only large news outlets to cover the border crisis are Fox News and Newsmax, while CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, and ABC barely cover the crisis. In another event, Biden and Harris condemned several officers who whipped Haitian migrants. The President and Vice President tried to make it seem like the incident occurred because of racism. The truth however, is that the officers were trying to move the Haitians away from the horses that, if you know anything about taking care of a horse, their hoofs can severely hurt your feet if accidentally stomped on. By whipping the migrants out the way of the horses’ hoofs, they do less damage to the individuals than would be possible had the horses stomped on their feet by accident. On September 24th, Vice President Kamala Harris visited the ABC network show "The View" and talked about the Haitian whipping incident. She said that the incident brought back the "worst moments of our history where that kind of behavior has been used against the indigenous people of our country." When she said indigenous people, she actually laughed while saying it and smiled.
While the immigration crisis was in full effect, the media did not pick up on a report that cartels sent hitmen into the United States and even had clashes with Border Patrol. 2 U.S citizens were killed by the hitmen. Arial footage also showed the hitmen entering into the country and one video showing a different group shooting automatic rifles.
The Biden Administration issued secret flights and busings of illegal immigrants around the country. These immigrants have been sent to many Republican states as well as Democrat ones. These flights are being done at night secretly without airport or state officials knowing anything about them. The Biden Administration’s secret flights and busings have not gained much media attention.
On November 1st, reports came out saying that the Biden Administration was going to payout illegal immigrants who were housed in facilities during the Trump Administration $450,000 each. The plan was going to cost an estimated $1 billion dollars. On November 3rd, Biden said that the report about the $450,000 payments to illegal immigrants was "garbage" and "not gonna happen." However, the White House Deputy Press Secretary said that the President would like to do the payments and said that the Department of Justice would have a say in the process. Thus, she contradicted what the President said about the report being garbage. On November 6th, Biden confirmed that the Department of Justice would be paying $450,000 to illegal immigrants processed during Trump's "zero-tolerance" policy. However, these payments have been cancelled and the Administration is no longer planning on doing them anymore.
On December 15th, President Biden signed an Executive Order which will sanction individuals responsible for the illicit drug trade. This includes cartels, organizations, and affiliates which aid in producing or distributing illegal drugs. This is in response to the outrageous increase in fentanyl and other illegal drugs being smuggled into the United States.
President Biden’s handling of the border has been a disaster. The media refuses to cover it, and when they do, they give their viewers snippets and only talk about it when it fits their political narrative. There are many Americans who do not know the full facts about the border crisis. Although the Administration lies about there not being an open-border, there is effectively a ‘silent’ open-border. Breaking the law, sacrificing national security, and allowing illegal immigrants to come into this country by the hundreds of thousands is unacceptable and frankly, a completely avoidable situation. Had Biden kept the border wall construction contracts and Trump’s immigration policies; Biden would have had the most secure border in American history and could have easily cruised through his Presidency without any news or occurrence of illegal immigration and increasing drug trade. The consequences of Biden’s ineffective handling of the border will be severe. Although many migrants who come to this country should legitimately be here, many more are here to take advantage of our country’s sensitive state and deteriorating legal system. Crime will increase, homicide rates will go up, and drugs will infest our country. Though much of this will only affect the big cities and liberal states, it will still seep in harmful effects to states and towns that heavily enforce the law.
