He has presided over all this chaos and destruction, willfully implementing every single one of his boss\u2019 open-borders policies,\u201d Morgan was also added. \u201cThose policies have abjectly failed, yet he continues to absurdly claim the opposite, even to the point of lying under oath before Congress. No sane person could look at the border and claim we\u2019re on the right course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tom Homan, an ex-ICE director and Heritage visiting fellow, replied that Biden was. \u201cthe first president in my lifetime to intentionally un-secure the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy way of more than 90 executive orders, he undid the successful Trump-era policies that brought illegal immigration to a 40-year low and gave us the most secure border of our lifetimes,\u201d Homan has been added. \u201cThis president and his team were warned what would happen if they got rid of those policies. They did it anyway, and you\u2019re looking at the consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Homan noted the human toll that Biden\u2019s border crisis is having on communities across the U.S., the nation\u2019s law enforcement, and even those trying to come to the U.S. illegally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore Americans than ever dying from fentanyl flooding across the southwest border,\u201d Homan stated. \u201cMore women and children abused and sexually assaulted on the dangerous journey through Central America and Mexico. More migrants found dead on U.S. soil than ever. Record profits for the cartels as they traffic and smuggle historic numbers of drugs and people across the border. It\u2019s inhumane. It\u2019s a slap in the face to the men and women of the Border Patrol, who are absolutely overwhelmed, as well as to ICE agents who\u2019ve been told they can\u2019t detain or deport most of those who break our laws.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden\u2019s administration blamed Republicans for a historically bad month of illegal immigration on the U.S.-Mexico border last month, despite Democrats controlling the entire federal government and both chambers of Congress up until a few weeks ago.
