The Democrats' Dysfunctional Open Borders Policy is Dangerous, Destructive, and Deliberate

January 27, 2024 8:51am

Despite the lies coming from the Biden Administration, everybody knows the Southern U.S. border is wide open. And everybody knows that the Democrats are facilitating the illegal crossing of literally millions of people with few marketable skills that will be a drain on American taxpayers.

Cities like New York and Chicago have proudly proclaimed themselves to be sanctuary cities where illegal immigrants wouldn't be turned over to the feds for deportation or prosecution no matter how serious the crimes they committed were. Well, the Democrat mayors of those cities are finally admitting they can't handle the influx and are demanding that Biden do something to stem the flood. He won't, of course. Because Biden's flagrant violation of our immigration laws is part and parcel to the Democrats' political strategy of importing as many future Democrat voters as they can.

But that failure to control our border will likely result in terrorist attacks long before the illegal immigrants or their offspring can legally cast ballots. In 2022 & 2023, the Border Patrol found 6386 Afghans, 3153 Egyptians, 659 Iranians, and 538 Syrians at the border. While not everyone from these countries is a terrorist, those nations are indisputably hotbeds of Islamic terrorism. Further, the overwhelming percentage of such illegal migrants are males of military age. They are not women and children.

During that same two year period, the Border Patrol also caught 26,113 Chinese and 12,605 Russians. The majority of those Chinese and Russians were also males of military age. The United States cannot be militarily invaded by the uniformed services of a hostile nation, and with Biden's porous border, they wouldn't have to. He's openly and actively inviting them in! How long will it be until some of these invited invaders attack us?

Those numbers are just those who have been caught. Nobody knows how many have illegally crossed the border without capture. But because of Biden's "catch & release" policy, these migrants are given a date to report for an immigration hearing and are released into the United States. How many show up for those hearings? Almost zero. Instead, they are bussed or flown, often without proper identification, to cities across America where they are given taxpayer funded food, housing, healthcare, education, and cash. Illegal migration costs the American taxpayer almost $200 billion each year.

But terrorism isn't the only national security threat posed by these illegal alien invaders. The cartels are smuggling massive quantities of illicit drugs across the border. More than a quarter million Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses over the past five years. Humans are being trafficked for use as sex slaves. Females, both young and old, are being raped by the smugglers enroute to Biden's promise of freebies. Those who make it into the U.S. often end up as indentured servants working for years at illegally low wages until they pay off the smuggling fees charged by the cartel's coyotes.

On today's radio program, I interviewed Ira Mehlman with the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). We discussed what is happening on our southern border and how it poses a clear and present danger to America's national security.
