Biden's border bungle

 Tommy Hicks:

I was at the border just this week. If President Joe Biden cared, he’d be there too. His Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quietly released its latest batch of catastrophic border numbers.

More than 239,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended in May — the highest monthly total in DHS history. Taking a step back, this means a shocking 3.5 million illegal immigrants have now crossed into the U.S. since Biden took office. This is not normal, nor is it accidental. It is a cataclysmic destruction of our sovereign borders at the expense of the American people.

Biden and his administration are to blame. In his first 100 days, Biden issued countless executive actions, including halting construction of the border wall and ending Trump’s successful “Remain in Mexico” policy under the banner of “compassion.” It was not Americans thanking him — but the illegal immigrants trying to cross over.

In fact, the Biden administration spent $72 million of American taxpayer money specifically to stop building the border wall.

Now illegal immigrants are simply pouring through the “gaps.” Perhaps even worse, deadly drugs are pouring in and wreaking havoc on our communities. Last year drug overdose deaths in the U.S. reached an all-time high. Pair this with the fact that in May, more than 1,101 pounds of deadly fentanyl and 10,528 pounds of methamphetamine were seized – not to mention what wasn’t caught. Together, the picture looks grim.

Furthermore, the most vulnerable among us — children — are dying in the orbit of destruction Biden has caused. Recently the body of a 5-year-old girl who tried crossing the Colorado River was found. There have been more. All this is happening as migrants are being traded and abused by cartels. In Harlingen, Texas, for example, 88 illegal immigrants including three children were found locked in a refrigerated trailer with no means of escape. And in Encinal, Texas, more than 111 illegal immigrants were apprehended after being smuggled into the U.S. in a tractor trailer without food or water — resulting in two deaths.

The liberal media refuses to cover this toxic combination of suffering and exploitation resulting from Biden’s policies. Historic comparisons alone would confirm the magnitude of this crisis, yet the corporate media refuses to cover it. In former President Donald Trump’s last full month in office, only 17 illegal immigrants were released into the U.S. This May, Biden released more than 21,000. Moreover, the number of those apprehended represents a 300% increase from the average May number under President Trump. This alone is a searing indictment of the open border policies of Biden and the far-left.

Biden should be impeached for his illegal trafficking operation.  He is facilitating immigration violations of US law.
