Open Border: John Kennedy Calls Out Incompetence
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) Compares Biden’s Border Policy to a Football Game
During a recent appearance on Fox Business, Senator John Kennedy was asked to share his thoughts on the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. In response, Kennedy delivered a compelling sports analogy, comparing the Biden administration’s border policy to the game plan of a football program.
According to Kennedy, if any football team were to deliver such a dismal record, the responsible individuals would have long since been fired. He emphasized that the Biden administration’s approach to the border crisis is not working, and the American people deserve better.
Watch Senator Kennedy’s Remarks:
It’s time for America to wake up and smell the incompetence: The border is wide open.

“It’s time for America to wake up and smell the incompetence,” Kennedy passionately stated. “I mean, the border is wide open, and as I’ve said before, that’s man-made — and the man’s name is Joe Biden.”
Continuing his analogy, Kennedy expressed that if the White House were a football team performing as poorly as the administration’s border policy, the coach, athletic director, and mascot would have already been fired. He emphasized that Americans deserve better and the situation at the border keeps worsening.
The crisis at the border has reached a critical point as President Joe Biden’s administration has taken drastic measures to prevent Texas authorities, under the leadership of Republican Governor Greg Abbott, from enforcing federal immigration laws themselves.
While the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Biden, allowing U.S. Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire barriers installed by the Texas National Guard, Governor Abbott has pushed back, asserting that Texas has the right to protect its own border if the federal government fails to do so.

Twenty-five out of the remaining 26 Republican governors, with the exception of Governor Phil Scott (R-VT), have expressed their support for Governor Abbott’s actions.

“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border. We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally,” stated the joint statement signed by the 25 Republican governors.
What specific steps can the Biden administration take to address the seriousness of the border crisis, including reinstating construction of the border wall, collaborating with state and local authorities, and implementing policies that deter illegal immigration
Ican Governor Greg Abbott, from enforcing border security. The administration’s decision to halt construction of the border wall and terminate agreements with private contractors has contributed to the surge of illegal border crossings. As a result, detention facilities are overwhelmed, border patrol agents are stretched thin, and the integrity of our immigration system is being compromised.
Senator Kennedy’s comparison of Biden’s border policy to a football game highlights the lack of strategy and accountability within the administration. In any sporting event, a team’s success is contingent upon careful planning, coordination, and execution. Similarly, an effective border policy requires a comprehensive plan, strong leadership, and effective implementation.
Unfortunately, the Biden administration has failed on all fronts. Their lack of a clear plan has allowed the border to be overrun by illegal immigrants, drugs, and criminal activity. The decision to halt construction of the border wall has left large gaps in our security infrastructure, providing easy access for those seeking to enter the country unlawfully.
Furthermore, the termination of agreements with private contractors has hindered the ability to efficiently process and detain individuals crossing the border. This has resulted in overcrowded detention facilities and an overwhelmed immigration system. Instead of addressing the root causes of the crisis and finding solutions, the administration seems more focused on rolling back the policies of the previous administration, regardless of the consequences.
Senator Kennedy’s remarks serve as a call to action for Americans to recognize the incompetence and failures of the Biden administration’s approach to border security. The comparison to a football game highlights the urgent need for a change in strategy and leadership. Just as a failing football team would take swift action to replace underperforming coaches and officials, the American people should demand accountability from their leaders.
It is essential that the Biden administration acknowledges the seriousness of the border crisis and takes immediate steps to address it. This includes reinstating construction of the border wall, collaborating with state and local authorities to enhance border security, and implementing policies that deter illegal immigration.
Ultimately, the American people deserve a border policy that upholds the rule of law, protects national security, and ensures the safety of our communities. Senator Kennedy’s analogy serves as a powerful reminder that the continued failure to address the border crisis is not only detrimental to our country’s security but also reflects a lack of leadership and accountability. It is time for the Biden administration to step up and deliver the effective border policy that the American people deserve.
