Staff Reports
Not content with letting the current administration keep the lid on the ongoing border crisis, it appears the Biden-Harris administration is now preparing for an all-out migrant tsunami as President-elect Donald Trump gears up for his second stint in the White House. According to reports, concerned talks were had among top officials such as Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas regarding the possibility of an influx of migrants trying to make it across the border before the Republicans reclaim the Oval Office come January.
Word on the street—or at least from the virtual meeting rooms of the Department of Homeland Security—is that while they haven’t yet seen a surge, they believe it’s only a matter of time before hordes of new arrivals get the bright idea that now is the time to rush for the good old U.S. of A. The message seems to be that if Trump wins, it’ll be a free-for-all until he can slam the door shut. Officials were apparently sweating bullets over whether their already strained system would buckle under the weight of more illegal crossings, leading to a potential release of migrants into the country yet again.

And it seems that the prospect of a Trump victory has sent a clear signal to would-be border crossers. With Trump capturing 296 electoral votes—significantly above the 270 needed to claim victory—there might as well be a big neon sign flashing “Now’s Your Chance” at the southern border. The administration’s concerns reflect a growing sense of urgency, with ICE and CBP officials preparing for the likelihood of a massive wave of migrants just itching to get in before the wall goes back up.
Speaking of walls, Trump is not one to shy away from his hardline immigration policies. As he prepares to take office once again, he’s promised sweeping deportations and a crackdown on illegal immigration that would make any border patrol agent give a cheer. Despite the chaos under Biden, with record-level illegal crossings being reported, it seems Trump’s return may just reignite the enforcement flare, affecting not only those standing by to cross but the eager smugglers poised to pounce on the situation.
Interestingly, while migrants in Mexico are voicing their loyalty to the current administration, a sea-change could be on the horizon. It’s like watching a bad soap opera where the characters change sides with every twist of the plot. Reports suggest that smugglers are already getting whispers out to the crowd that they need to rush across the border before Trump unleashes his plans. Meanwhile, onlookers in Tijuana are witnessing what can only be described as a preemptive stampede—migrants scrambling to cross, guided by whoever has the quickest route mapped out for them.
The Biden administration’s attempt to manage this chaotic situation appears less effective with each passing day, leaving them scrambling to contain what they can’t control. As the clock ticks down to the inauguration, it seems increasingly likely that the border will suddenly feel like the frontlines of a reality show—complete with drama, conflict, and an uncertain ending.
