Ben Shapiro sheds light on illegal immigrant invasion at Southern border amidst escalating Texas-Biden conflict
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro Investigates President Biden’s Border Crisis
Join Ben Shapiro as he embarks on a captivating journey to one of the busiest points along the U.S. southern border. In his groundbreaking docu-series, now streaming on DailyWire+, Shapiro delves deep into the heart of President Joe Biden’s border crisis.
During his visit, Shapiro engages in eye-opening conversations with dedicated Border Patrol agents and a grieving mother whose son tragically lost his life at the hands of an illegal immigrant. The release of this powerful docu-series coincides with the ongoing battle between the Biden administration and Texas over border enforcement. Texas Governor Greg Abbott staunchly defends his state’s Constitutional right to protect its borders, garnering support from twenty-five Republican governors across the nation.
Unveiling the “Divided States of Biden”
Shapiro’s docu-series, aptly named ”Divided States of Biden,” uncovers the dire consequences of President Biden’s policies, which have triggered a staggering surge in illegal immigration, fentanyl trafficking, and human exploitation. Venturing into highly trafficked areas along the southern border, Shapiro exposes the alarming ease with which migrants illegally enter the United States. He also sheds light on the concerning fact that federal agents often lack crucial information about the backgrounds of the individuals they process before releasing them into the country.
“One of the most significant costs of illegal immigration is crime,” Shapiro asserts. “While not every illegal immigrant is a criminal, there are unfortunately many criminals who are here illegally.”
I went to our southern border. It’s wide open. The drug cartels are in control. Here’s what we saw.

Episode one of the series, titled “Invasion on the Southern Border,” features Shapiro’s poignant conversation with Laura Wilkerson, a mother who tragically lost her son, Joshua Wilkerson, in 2010. Joshua, a devout young man, was brutally beaten, tortured, and murdered by Hermilo Moralez, an illegal immigrant from Belize.
Wilkerson shares the heart-wrenching details of how her 18-year-old son, who never returned home from school one fateful day, fell victim to Morales, a classmate who callously took his life and concealed his body. Shapiro also accompanies Border Patrol agent Brandon Judd to the Tucson, Arizona sector, one of the most active areas for federal government officials combating the influx of illegal immigrants. Shockingly, this sector also serves as the primary hub for fentanyl trafficking in the United States.
“Under President Biden, approximately five million people have been released into the United States, and they are here to stay,” Judd reveals. “Not because they are legal, but because there simply aren’t enough resources to locate and remove them.”
Shapiro’s investigation uncovers a startling truth: the number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. has tripled in just over two years under Biden, surpassing the entire four-year span of the Trump administration. As Shapiro aptly points out, when President Biden calls for increased funding for the border, he essentially seeks more resources to facilitate the illegal entry of immigrants. Rather than offering genuine solutions, Biden’s approach exacerbates the problem at our southern border.

A Human Tragedy
The docu-series also shines a light on the human tragedy unfolding at the border. Shapiro’s conversations with Border Patrol agents reveal shocking stories of exploitation, violence, and even death. From human smuggling to the operation of drug cartels, the consequences of unsecured borders are devastating for both the United States and the migrants themselves.
“It’s heartbreaking to see the dangers these individuals face in pursuit of a better life,” Shapiro states. “But it’s equally concerning to see how porous our border has become, allowing criminals and drugs to infiltrate our communities.”
A Crisis of Leadership
Shapiro’s investigation raises serious questions about President Biden’s handling of the border crisis. Critics argue that the Biden administration’s rollback of immigration policies, such as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) and agreements with Northern Triangle countries, has played a significant role in fueling the surge of illegal immigration.
“The message that has been sent is that if you come illegally, you will be allowed to stay. This has created a massive incentive for people to attempt the dangerous journey,” Shapiro explains. “President Biden’s rhetoric and policies on border security have directly contributed to the crisis we see today.”
Moreover, Shapiro highlights the lack of transparency and accountability surrounding the handling of unaccompanied minors at the border. The overcrowded detention facilities, where children are held for extended periods, raise serious concerns about the welfare of these vulnerable individuals.
The Road Ahead
As the docu-series comes to a close, Shapiro reflects on the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform. He argues that border security, including physical barriers and increased law enforcement presence, should be a vital component of any solution. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes that drive migration, such as economic instability and violence in Central American countries.
“We have a moral obligation to secure our borders and protect our citizens,” Shapiro concludes. “But we also have a moral obligation to address the underlying issues that drive people to risk everything for a chance at a better life.”
By shedding light on the realities of the border crisis, Ben Shapiro’s docu-series serves as a wake-up call to the American people and policymakers alike. It demands urgent action and a renewed commitment to securing our borders while upholding our values as a nation of immigrants.
