Deep dives
Biden's Executive Order on Border Security
President Biden signed an executive order aiming to secure the border, prompting criticism. The order allows 2,500 illegal aliens daily to cross the border for asylum. However, many exceptions weaken enforcement, potentially leading to hundreds of thousands entering. Republicans rejected an immigration bill that normalized 5,000 daily entries and lacked effective deportation measures.
Impact of Deportation Policies
The Biden administration's deportation numbers are deceptive due to a high percentage of immediate border crossers from Mexico. While Mexicans can easily re-enter, others from countries like Venezuela face fewer deportation risks. The parole programs have enabled around a million entries via airports with work permits, raising concerns about accountability and control.
National Security Risks and Political Maneuvering
The open border presents a significant terror risk, as evidenced by individuals crossing from dangerous countries and plotting attacks. There is a deliberate lack of transparency in reporting these cases crossing the southern border. The executive order's likelihood of implementation is questioned, seen as a political maneuver to shift blame onto Republicans during a border crisis orchestrated by the Biden administration.
