Looks like the Biden Admin has the border sealed up as tight as a sieve. This is a full-blown crisis. As much as Psaki would like to call it a border challenge, it’s a disaster. Just look at the difference between a secure border under Trump and Biden’s miserable excuse for border security.
“In August 2020, the Trump administration managed something stunning. Border Patrol agents caught more than 47,000 illegal immigrants and immediately released just 10 of them into the interior.
This August, under President Biden, the Border Patrol made more than 195,000 arrests and released 43,941 people — an increase of more than 430,000%.”
Security experts say that’s the difference between a secure border and an unprecedented migrant surge.
“If you tell the migrant they’re not going to be released, they’re not going to come. If a migrant knows they will not be released into the United States awaiting their immigration process, they will not come,” said Mark Morgan, who served as acting head of Customs and Border Protection in the Trump administration.”
“Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said last week that he is counting on an easing of the pandemic to help.
“That would mean a regaining of footing, regionally, and therefore, hopefully, a diminution in the numbers that are seeking to migrate irregularly because the level of desperation would not compel them to take that journey,” the secretary told a conference hosted by the Migration Policy Institute.”
Well, at least they are consistent in their failure. The Department of Homeland Security should be doing something proactive, but as you can see in the quote above, it looks like they are going to try and wait out the migrants. And really that just doesn’t make any sense. There is far more economic opportunity here in the United States and with Biden rolling out the red carpet, I don’t see how the end of the pandemic is supposed to change the want to migrate here.
