Gates Welded Open at Southern Border

Over 100 gates along the southern border have been found welded open, allowing illegal immigrants to pass through unimpeded. These gates were reportedly opened to facilitate water flow and animal migration, but the delayed monsoon season provided immigrants with weeks of opportunity to cross through. The Biden administration is implicated in this issue, with orders to weld the gates open coming from multiple agencies. The open gates have led to a surge in illegal immigration, with an estimated 1,400 immigrants passing through daily.
