The fallout from Joe Biden’s open border policy is becoming increasingly evident. A recent attack involving illegal immigrants from Egypt targeting a Jewish community in Boulder, Colorado, highlights the troubling outcomes of this approach.
Crime rates are rising sharply, with reports of rape, murder, robbery, and anti-Semitic incidents linked to the erosion of border protections that worked effectively under President Trump. The situation has become dire, with incidents like the tragic hit-and-run involving Larisha Thompson in Texas, who was killed amid a robbery by illegal immigrants. Her case adds to a growing list of victims, including Raken Riley and others, drawing attention to the consequences of current policies.
Biden’s administration seems proud to halt the construction of Trump’s border walls and roll back effective policies aimed at controlling illegal immigration. Since taking office, millions of undocumented individuals have crossed the border, blending into society largely unchecked.
This shift was implemented quickly through executive orders and the influence of a left-leaning Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas.
Mobile App for “Mass Entry”
Media scrutiny has revealed how border security has weakened. A new mobile app from Customs and Border Protection facilitates mass entries without adequate screening. Work permits are being issued without immigration hearings, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill. Furthermore, Border Patrol agents have faced unfair accusations of racism for simply performing their duties.
Despite Biden’s claims, controlling immigration has proven difficult, leading to new legislative measures. In contrast, Trump’s administration managed to halt illegal crossings effectively within the first 100 days.
In April, the Department of Homeland Security noted a 99.99% decline in immigration crossings, with only a handful of illegal entries permitted for health emergencies. This represents a dramatic decrease compared to the previous year’s figures. Reports suggest that fentanyl overdoses have similarly reduced.
Promises to Maintain Control
Even with these figures, the challenge remains to fulfill Biden’s promise of sending “millions of criminals back where they came from,” amid significant pushback from activist judges.
White House officials have indicated plans to increase arrests, with an aim to deport up to a million individuals annually. However, this is still a small fraction compared to the number of undocumented immigrants currently in the country.
This rush to allow illegal immigration raises concerns about safety, particularly given that many enter without proper screenings.
A senior security source expressed alarm over the misuse of the asylum system, which has allowed millions to enter the country under questionable circumstances. There are serious concerns about individuals like Mohamed Sabri Soliman, who had a tourist visa and was involved in the Boulder incident.
Intelligence analysts, under a new administration, began checking visas against databases of known terrorists and identified several illegal immigrants with dangerous backgrounds allowed to remain in the U.S.
Additionally, the influx of Afghan evacuees, many of whom underwent minimal scrutiny post-U.S. withdrawal, adds further risk. Reports also indicate that individuals with ties to ISIS have crossed the southern border, raising alarms about potential terrorist plots.
Unresolved Issues
Reports indicate that hundreds of suspected terrorists may have entered the U.S. unnoticed. There are concerns that this information was not communicated effectively to officials within the Biden administration.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has tagged certain violent criminal gangs as terrorist organizations, further complicating the landscape of national security. The scope of the threat is broadened by an estimated two million “gotaways” who have evaded capture.
The implications are significant. Experts note that while some threats are known, many remain hidden, complicating efforts to ensure safety. Ultimately, it seems that Biden’s administration has weakened America’s security significantly.
