Biden administration letting southern border crisis rage on

The American people are increasingly concerned about public safety, and it’s easy to see why. A spike in murder rates led to the deadliest year on record for many major cities last year. For the first time on record, more than 100,000 Americans died from drug overdoses during a 12-month period. And it seems like headlines are dominated by subway attacks, gang shootouts, and other terrifying incidents.

Drugs. Crime. Violence. This is not the rosy picture the American people were promised in the last election.

When looking at the factors that fuel concerns about violence – and our ability to mitigate it – we can’t ignore the crisis along our southern border.

Over the past year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has encountered a record-breaking 2.2 million migrants along the southern border. While the majority of those individuals do not pose a security threat to the American people, the chaos of mass migration does. When Border Patrol agents are outnumbered and overwhelmed, it opens gateways for truly dangerous criminals and substances to move across our border undetected.

Last fall, we saw a stunning example of how this happens. In a matter of days, more than 15,000 migrants arrived at the border in Del Rio, Texas. Administration officials later told Congressional staff that this massive surge was a coordinated effort by the cartels, who directed migrants to a single location, so law enforcement personnel from other areas would be relocated, clearing a path for their illicit trade corridor. The plan worked perfectly.

Cartels and criminal organizations are commodity agnostic – they deal in any illicit practice that turns a profit. They dupe vulnerable migrants into paying thousands of dollars a head to make the dangerous journey north.

It makes me a bit angry to see articles like this which imply there is an illegal immigration problem on the Southern border which could be stopped if only the Biden Administration would do something about it, which they won't, because they are too lazy or incompetent.

This invasion we see on our Southern border is deliberate, planned, aided, and abetted by the current administration. This kind of article gives cover to the Left by failing to stress to ignorant consumers of their output that this is not a failure due to laziness or incompetence, but is a success being planned and carried out by enemies of this country.

Even worse, this pathetic excuse for some kind of conservative media (Fox) even attempts to give the Biden Administration and the rest of the Left cover with pap like this:

"...There’s no question our immigration system is in need of reforms, but it must be noted that the Biden administration is playing on the same field as previous administrations..."

One can only conclude that Fox is aiding and abetting this invasion.

Yes, it is the planned destruction of the Republuc and on purpose.
Cornyn and the rest of the GOPe could stop this, but they refuse.
Stop everything, in Congress.
Nothing gets through.
No nominations.
No bills.
No money for anything until the border is shut down.
We will
