Democrats Have The Border Wide Open. Biden Failed In Protecting America.
In recent weeks, the southern side of the U.S.–Mexico border has witnessed a surge in illegal immigration, with alarming implications for border security and the safety of both migrants and law enforcement officers. Two older SUVs, seemingly out of nowhere, appeared along the border, followed by white vans tailing them to a gap in the border wall.
Joe Biden has failed to do his most basic job as Commander in Chief: ensure the safety and security of the United States and its citizens. Case in point: National Review Border Patrol Warns Agents to Be Alert for Explosives after Finding Ten IEDs at Border Dr. Roger Marshall
Suspected smugglers, affiliated with drug cartels and known as coyotes, swiftly exited the vehicles, their faces covered, overseeing around 25 illegal immigrants emerging from each SUV and 50 from each van. Urging them forward, the coyotes directed the migrants along a narrow footpath, strewn with clothing fragments and strands of razor wire, leading into the United States.
Amid the predominantly Spanish chatter, U.S. Border Patrol agents distributed plastic bracelets to the approximately 150 new arrivals, guiding them toward tents and makeshift shelters. This incident reflects a broader trend, highlighting the challenges faced by law enforcement in managing the influx of illegal immigrants.

Reports indicate a diverse composition of migrants, including individuals from China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Mauritania, Colombia, and Brazil. Border Kindness, a volunteer group associated with Al Otro Lado, expressed concern about the increasing number of immigrants, with approximately 30% hailing from China in the latest wave to the Jacumba camps.
Manny Bayon, a National Border Patrol Council union spokesman in San Diego, disclosed a doubling in the number of illegal immigrants released into San Diego County over the past two weeks, ranging from 800 to 1,000 per day. December 5 and 6 marked record highs for daily apprehensions, raising concerns about the strain on detention facilities and the backlog in asylum cases.
CBP seized 10 IEDs at the border. The IEDs were found by Mexican authorities after Tucson border patrol observed gunshots.

Amid this crisis, Senate Republicans blocked aid funding to Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the need for the Biden administration to address the escalating border situation. Bayon criticized the administration’s inaction, asserting that the border crisis demands immediate attention and resolution.
The discontent extends to Border Patrol agents, whose morale has reportedly hit “rock bottom.” An agent in Arizona, speaking anonymously, expressed frustration over the lack of support from the Biden administration and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Agents find themselves overwhelmed, processing and transporting illegal immigrants, leaving fewer resources for border security.
By opening up our southern border the Biden Administration has allowed some of the most dangerous criminal and terrorist threats to walk into our country while our Border Patrol agents have been pulled off of the line to process fraudulent asylum seekers. – Rob Law, AFPI Director of the Center for Homeland Security & Immigration. America First Policy Institute
While illegal border crossings are against the law, the source claimed that Border Patrol has been instructed to stand down, allowing illegal immigrants to enter unchecked. The agent lamented that agents, who took an oath to defend the border, are now relegated to mere observers, unable to fulfill their duty.
Concerns escalate beyond immigration issues, with reports indicating a rise in drug and sex trafficking. The agent emphasized that the Biden administration’s policies inadvertently empower Mexican cartels, contributing to the worsening situation.

In response to escalating tensions, DHS and CBP officials have denied problems with the administration’s policies, attributing the crisis to Congress blocking proposed funding increases. Critics, including former ICE director Tom Homan, argue that the crisis is a result of intentional policy decisions.
TX: Happening now: More than a hundred people who crossed into Eagle Pass illegally are waiting to be transported/processed by Border Patrol Agents. The Del Rio Sector which is where we are this week and the Tucson Sector in Arizona have been leading the way in apprehensions lately—As nearly 10,000 undocumented individuals are being encountered along the southern border daily according to CBP sources. These are the ones who want to be caught—We went along with Texas DPS Texas Military Dept.

DHS has requested additional funding from Congress to address the crisis, including resources for more Border Patrol agents, asylum officers, and facilities. However, the article questions the effectiveness of these measures and highlights the growing strain on Border Patrol resources.

- Birthright citizenship is a lie. I’m old enough to remember during my law classes when I first became a Border Patrol agent that a child born in America had to have at least one parent who was a legal U.S. citizen in order to be considered a U.S. citizen. What democrats think the 14th amendment says: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, are citizens of the United States. What it actually says: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, [and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,] are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. What they leave out: [and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,] In short, what does that mean? It means two illegals don’t make a legal citizen. – Clinton
- An illegal immigrant was able to enter the country with a loaded AK-47 yesterday. He told border patrol agents that 11 other armed illegal immigrants were in the area. Other illegal immigrants brought 10 IEDs that they allegedly were going to use to attack authorities. So, what do Democrats focus on? More money for Ukraine’s border and disarming law abiding Americans. The worst border crisis in history has been going on for nearly 3 years, with Democrats doing absolutely nothing about it. – Truth Tsar
- “Morale among agents, he said, has hit an all-time low. ‘It’s rock bottom, by far the worst I’ve ever seen,’the Border Patrol agent said. ‘A lot of them are leaving. They’re leaving the patrol. They don’t even have a backup plan—no job. They’re just so sick and tired of having their hands tied. Guys are having a hard time even putting on their uniforms. Right now, we’re just Uber drivers. We’re just watching it all happen. We’re watching the destruction of our country.’” – Chief Nerd
