The Biden Administration’s rhetoric on the continued crisis at the southern border has been nothing short of deceitful. In an attempt to make it seem like the border is under control, the administration is playing a “shell game,” according to former U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) acting Commissioner Mark Morgan. They pass off the shifting of migrants who would otherwise cross the south border illegally, to the ports of entry as an indication of the crisis being under control.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green agrees, calling the Biden Administration’s border programs a “shell game” in a recent interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “There’s the lying to Congress, there’s the CBP One app, which is just this big shell game to produce automatic mass parole in violation of the laws passed by Congress” he said. “It is a wanton disregard for the separation of powers and the Constitution of the United States.”

Migrants are still coming into the US in high numbers, despite the Biden Administration’s attempt to downplay the ongoing crisis. According to federal data, between April and May, entries through the ports of entry jumped from 28,000 to nearly 35,000. As for illegal crossings, the numbers have dropped, though they still remain higher than those seen before the pandemic under the Trump Administration’s more secure border policies.
Arizona Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb gives an apt comparison: “It’s kind of like gas prices. You run the gas prices up to $5 and then you drop it back to $4. You brag about it, but it was still $2 higher than what it was before”.
The Biden administration has implemented their own policies to deal with the crisis. Their CBP One program, a phone app which allows for the scheduling of entry at ports of entry and humanitarian parole, has been expanded from 1,000 appointments per day, to 40,000 migrants each month, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). But this only masks the real issue at hand, which is more migrants coming the U.S.
#ImpeachedMayorkas he stated because they are in the U.S Illegally that is not a reason to deport, U.S #Immigration law state that it is! Mayorkas refuses to deport the over 1 million with final deportation orders nor the criminal illegals https://t.co/jNl84ZiAjN

As Blas Nuñez Neto, the assistant secretary for immigration and border policy at the DHS, said, “some of the drop can be attributed to the strengthened consequences that we are implementing at the border,” adding that people are still coming because of the congressional inaction in addressing the underlying factors that are driving the migration.
The Biden administration has failed to meaningfully address the continued surge of illegal immigrants crossing the border, and instead have resorted to deception in an attempt to manipulate the numbers and paint a different picture of the situation. The border remains insecure, and only through stronger border security, and the implementation of laws passed by Congress, will the crisis be brought under control.
They seeded this in Nov to Jan swearing in date forward
Just more lies and coverups from this Administration.!!!
You must ask yourself why is Biden ignoring the illegal immigration problem? He’s not. He is using it to bring in Undocumented Democrats for the next election. Yes, the Constitution says that ONLY American Citizens can vote in our elections. Do you think that will paid attention to when they have Drivers Licenses with photo ID, a SS Card, or any of the other requirments to ballot on election day. Remember that Biden won the 2020 election by huge numbers so you must wonder why he insists on bolstering his standing with the voters with those numbers. He has accumulated a huge war chest full of Chinese and other Campaign money. He has the nation so greatful for his superior intelect and family support. One can only marval at is skills as a diplomat and leader to know that he is only representing us. I just wish he would stop as I am getting tired of bending over and taking it in the rear end.
