Biden’s Border Security Weakened 65 Times Since Inauguration
President Joe Biden is excited to sign a Senate bill that claims to “shut down the border right now.” However, the proposed $118 billion bill does not actually achieve this goal. It allocates more funds to other countries than to the U.S. border, with only a small portion set aside for border security. This bill allows for thousands of daily crossings and unrestricted asylum, making it clear why Biden is eager to sign it immediately.
In a statement, Biden expressed his readiness to secure the border. However, his border policies have resulted in an estimated 1.7 million unvetted individuals entering the United States. House Speaker Mike Johnson has highlighted 64 instances where Biden intentionally undermined border security, leading to a humanitarian and national security crisis.

Mayorkas In The Crosshairs
House Republicans are moving forward with impeachment proceedings against Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas due to the Biden administration’s role in the border crisis. The House Homeland Security Committee has passed two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas for his refusal to comply with the law and breach of the public trust. Speaker Mike Johnson defends the impeachment vote, stating that desperate times call for desperate measures.
If impeached, Mayorkas would be the first presidential cabinet secretary to face a trial in the Senate since 1876. However, it is worth noting that William Belknap, who served as war secretary under President Ulysses S. Grant, was impeached but ultimately acquitted over a century ago.

How did the Biden administration’s policies contribute to the border crisis and the influx of unvetted individuals entering the country?
The Biden Administration’s Failure to Secure the U.S. Border
President Joe Biden’s promise to secure the U.S. border has been proven to be hollow, as his policies have resulted in a significant influx of unvetted individuals entering the country. House Speaker Mike Johnson has outlined 64 instances where Biden intentionally undermined border security, leading to a humanitarian and national security crisis.
On his first day in office, Biden halted border wall construction, expanded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, endorsed the U.S. Citizenship Act granting U.S. citizenship to foreign lawbreakers, and revoked Trump-era executive orders that enforced immigration laws. Additionally, he ended restrictions on immigration from terrorism-ridden countries and stopped deportations for 100 days, effectively providing amnesty to criminals. These actions set the tone for the rest of his presidency, with the disregard for border security apparent from the start.
In February 2021, the Biden administration implemented a process to allow foreign lawbreakers to remain in the U.S., signaling a shift in priorities. They also announced the end of the “Remain in Mexico” policy and began terminating agreements for other countries to hold migrants making U.S. asylum claims. Furthermore, they stopped refusing to admit illegal migrant children under Title 42 and allowed trafficked children to enter the country freely under the same policy.
The border crisis continued to worsen in the following months, with the Biden administration speeding up the release of unaccompanied migrant children into the U.S. It was also revealed that they had lost track of 20,000 illegally present foreign children and ignored pandemic protocols to increase acceptance of custody for illegal migrant children.
In March 2021, the administration reinstated parole programs for foreigners illegally present in the U.S., and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced a shift to “processing” illegal immigrants instead of sending them home. They also began allowing migrants into the U.S. without setting a court date and expanded detention capacity for unaccompanied migrant children.
These actions were followed by the erasure of background check requirements for adults living with trafficked migrant children and the cancellation of future border wall construction. Biden also made it easier for illegal migrants to bring family members into the U.S. and expanded categories for foreigners to petition for asylum. Border Patrol released at least 50,000 illegal immigrants into the U.S. without court dates, and alternatives to detention and parole were approved, effectively ending deportation.
As the border crisis continued to escalate, the administration expanded its policy of catch and release, and over 100,000 illegal immigrants released since March 2021 failed to check in with officials. Furthermore, Biden falsely accused border agents of “whipping migrants” in Texas, and DHS granted amnesty to millions of migrants by rolling back deportations.
Throughout fiscal year 2021, federal grants rewarded cities encouraging illegal immigration, and contracts for border wall construction were canceled. Inspections of large worksites to discover illegal migrants were suspended, and enforcement of immigration laws at various facilities was also halted.
In October 2021, Mayorkas terminated the “Remain in Mexico” program, and the Biden administration created a new program for releasing illegal aliens into the U.S. ICE encouraged greater immigration of family units by reducing detention centers, and Afghan refugees were not properly vetted upon entry into the country.
The administration fought to end Title 42 in court and encouraged prosecutors to stop filing cases for immigration court removals. Curbs against foreign citizens receiving welfare benefits were eliminated, and the DACA child trafficking program was expanded.
In December 2022, the administration sued Arizona for its border security efforts, and in January 2023, they expanded the CBP One app for migrant entry. Migrant parole was expanded beyond legal limits, and it was reported that 85,000 trafficked migrant children were lost. ICE allowed non-detailed foreign illegals to grow to 5.3 million, and despite record border crossings, funding for detention beds was requested to be reduced.
The DHS inspector general found the misuse of pandemic funds for illegal immigrants, and Obamacare benefits were expanded to DACA recipients. The use of the CBP One app was expanded, additional parole programs were created, and vetting of illegal migrants from China was reduced. Border Patrol also expanded appointment capability on the app.
Finally, the Biden administration officially terminated the use of Title 42 expulsion authority, ended the DNA testing program to reduce child trafficking, and expanded parole programs for Central American countries.
With each of these instances, it becomes clear that the Biden administration’s border policies have not achieved the goal of securing the U.S. border. The disregard for immigration laws and the prioritization of foreign lawbreakers over the safety and security of American citizens is alarming. It is crucial for the U.S. government to address these issues urgently and take concrete steps to ensure border security and protect the sovereignty of the nation.
