Biden’s Border Crisis Grows Worse

Through A Friday News Dump, The Biden Administration Tried To Hide That Border Crossings Have Reached Their Highest Level Since 2000

THE CRISIS CONTINUES TO WORSEN

• In June, 188,829 illegal immigrants were apprehended trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, the highest one-month total in 21 years.
  • It’s a 273 percent increase from the average number of June apprehensions during the Trump administration, and a 471 percent increase over last June.
  • 15,253 unaccompanied children were apprehended.
• Illegal border crossings have increased every single month of the Biden administration.
  • This disproves Biden’s claim that the crisis is seasonal.
  • 901,122 illegal immigrants have been caught attempting to cross the border during Biden’s first six months in office.
• 123,504 illegal immigrants have been released into the United States by Customs and Border Protection during the months Biden has been in office.
  • By comparison, just 18 people were released during President Trump’s final full month in office.
• Less than 25 percent of illegal immigrants released at the border without court dates have turned themselves in to ICE.
• A majority of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the border crisis, with just 33 percent approving of the job he is doing.

BIDEN’S OPEN BORDER POLICIES ARE DEADLY

• Border authorities have reported that “there has been a sharp increase in the number of deaths among people crossing the border.”
• Fentanyl smuggling is up more than 355 percent compared to last year and up more than 4,000 percent compared to 2018.
  • In just the first four months of 2021, Texas law enforcement seized 21.5 million lethal doses of fentanyl.
• Detention centers have seen a surge in coronavirus cases, with more than 7,500 new coronavirus cases reported in recent months.
• Texas sheriffs and ICE officers are suing Biden for not deporting criminal illegal immigrants, including child rapists and drug dealers.
• Officials say they are seeing unprecedented migration patterns, with smugglers exploiting the Biden administration’s “uneven enforcement policies.”
  • A human smuggler admitted that his job of moving people is easier under Biden.

BIDEN ENDED EFFECTIVE BORDER POLICIES AND CAUSED THE CRISIS

• In Biden’s first 100 days, he took 94 executive actions on immigration.
• The Biden administration stopped sending unaccompanied children back to Central and South America, a policy that Barack Obama endorsed in 2014.
• The Biden administration ended the Trump administration’s successful “Remain in Mexico” policy, drawing an influx of immigrants.
• Biden halted construction of the border wall on his first day in office, a decision that law enforcement officers say weakens border security and benefits Mexican cartels.
  • Biden’s proposed budget nixed funding for the border wall and stopped previously allocated and unused funds from going to the wall.
• The Biden administration ended the Asylum Cooperative Agreements which previously allowed the U.S. to send asylum-seekers to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to “share the distribution of hundreds of thousands of asylum claims.” 
• Biden put restrictions on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to ICE arrests plummeting in February by more than 60 percent even as illegal crossings skyrocketed.
• Under new guidance under the Biden administration, border agents are now releasing adult migrants and families from custody without court dates. 
• Biden dismantled VOICE (Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement Office), a Trump-created office to help victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens.
• The Biden administration ended the public charge rule, which had given U.S. officials broader discretion to reject green card applications of immigrants relying or likely to rely on public benefits.
• Biden revoked the Trump-era ban on federal grants to sanctuary cities.
• The Biden administration restarted an Obama-era program that brings Central American minors into the U.S. if they have parents or legal guardians present already and expanded eligibility.

BIDEN HAS PROPSED POLICIES TO FURTHER OPEN AMERICA’S BORDERS

• The Biden administration is planning to end Title 42, a public health rule that allowed border patrol to turn migrants away during the pandemic.
• Biden has proposed giving away more American taxpayer dollars to Central America.
• Biden sent an immigration bill to Congress that includes amnesty and a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
