Biden Skips Border Visit Despite Record Illegal Crossings
The Biden-Harris administration created an unprecedented crisis by refusing to secure the southern border.
December 6, 2022
Joe Biden will not visit the southern border during a trip to Arizona, saying there are “more important things going on” than the crisis.
Throughout Biden’s presidency, illegal border crossings have surged. In October, the number of immigrants illegally crossing the southern border set an all-time monthly record — breaking the previous record set the month before. Still, the administration insists the border is “closed.”
Fox News: The U.S. has seen record levels of illegal immigration throughout the Biden administration. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported 230,000 border encounters in October alone, an all-time monthly record that broke the previous record set in September.
September data revealed that fiscal year 2022 ended with 2,378,944 migrant encounters, the highest ever recorded in a fiscal year. That figure does not include the 599,000 known “gotaways” that CBP sources told Fox News evaded capture over the same period…
Vice President Kamala Harris, who Biden tapped to lead the administration’s effort to address the border crisis, has argued the border is “closed,” telling migrants firmly, “Do not come,” last year.
Nevertheless, many of the migrants Fox News spoke to in November described the border as “abierta,” or “open.” Some of the migrants also praised Biden personally.
Republicans are taking action to secure the southern border and address the humanitarian crisis by filling in gaps in the wall and moving migrants to progressive cities. Congressional Republicans have taken multiple trips to the border to assess the situation and bring attention to the crisis.
Bottom Line: The Biden-Harris administration created an unprecedented crisis by refusing to secure the southern border.
