The border is in absolute chaos, and we have President Biden’s disastrous policies to thank for it. As a proud American, I can’t sit back and watch as our nation’s security is trampled underfoot by this administration’s reckless actions.
First, let’s hit you with some cold, hard facts. Since Biden took office, the southern border has been a revolving door. In the fiscal year 2023 alone, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered a jaw-dropping 2.4 million illegal migrants. That’s not a crisis waiting to happen—it’s a full-blown disaster, and it’s happening right now. This surge didn’t just pop out of nowhere; it’s a direct result of Biden’s open-border policies that basically scream, “Come on in!”
Remember when we were building the border wall? Over 450 miles of it went up under the previous administration, acting as a solid deterrent against illegal crossings. But what was one of Biden’s first moves? Stop the wall. Leave gaps wide open. It’s like putting up a “Welcome” sign for anyone and everyone. The message couldn’t be clearer—the border is open for business.
And let’s talk about the real human cost here. Fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid, is flooding across our border. CBP seized over 10,000 pounds of it in 2023 alone—enough to wipe out entire cities. This poison is devastating our communities, causing a surge in overdose deaths. Yet, the Biden administration stays mum on this crisis, too busy chasing politically convenient narratives.
The humanitarian side of this catastrophe is equally gut-wrenching. Children are being exploited by cartels and traffickers, subjected to unspeakable horrors. Our facilities are bursting at the seams, unable to cope with the influx, leading to inhumane conditions. This is what happens when you have policies that encourage dangerous journeys and empower criminal organizations.
Biden’s approach to border security isn’t just a failure; it’s a betrayal. By scrapping effective policies like the “Remain in Mexico” program and bringing back “catch and release,” Biden has sent a clear message: America is no longer serious about protecting its borders.
And don’t get me started on the economic impact. States like Texas and Arizona are drowning in costs related to healthcare, education, and law enforcement due to this border mess. And guess who’s footing the bill? That’s right—hardworking American taxpayers. Meanwhile, the federal government shrugs its shoulders and turns a blind eye.
So, what’s the solution? We need to get back to policies that put American safety and sovereignty first. Finish the border wall. Reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” program. Enforce our immigration laws, no exceptions. It’s time to put America first again.
Biden’s border policies have created a perfect storm of insecurity, crime, and humanitarian distress. This isn’t just bad policy—it’s a glaring example of what happens when ideological experiments go horribly wrong. As conservatives, we must keep fighting for a secure border and a safe, prosperous America. Our nation’s future depends on it.
