Despite \u200bpromising \u200cto tackle immigration issues during \u2062his campaign, President Biden \u200dhas yet to \u200cdeliver any \u200dmeaningful solutions. Instead, his\u2064 administration has focused on \u200breversing the policies put in place by the previous \u200dadministration, such as the Migrant Protection Protocols \u200d(MPP) and the construction of the border \u200cwall.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences\u2063 of this inaction are evident. Border states, such as Texas and Arizona, are bearing the brunt of the crisis. They are\u200b overwhelmed with the number of\u200d illegal immigrants entering their jurisdictions and\u200c their resources are stretched thin.\u2063 Local communities are also feeling the impact, as they struggle to provide housing, healthcare, and education for the newcomers.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the record number of encounters only scratches the surface of\u200b the\u200b problem. Countless individuals manage to evade\u200c detection and enter the country undetected. The House Republicans&#8217; report on the issue \u200bof &#8220;gotaways&#8221; is alarming and underscores the urgent need for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/human-smugglers-taunt-journalist-as-she-records-them-destroying-border-wall\/\" title=\"Journalist captures human smugglers mocking while demolishing border wall\">effective\u2064 border\u200b security measures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial for the\u200d Biden administration to acknowledge the severity of the situation and take immediate action. This includes implementing policies that deter\u200b illegal immigration, improving border\u200b security \u2063infrastructure, and cooperating with border states to\u2064 address the crisis. \u2062It is also\u200b important to prioritize \u200bthe safety and well-being of American citizens and \u2063ensure that they are not \u2063adversely affected by the\u2062 influx \u200bof illegal\u200c immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The record number of encounters at the U.S. southern border is \u200balarming \u2064and should serve as a wake-up call. It is not only a humanitarian crisis\u200c but also a threat to \u2063national security. The Biden administration must step up and address the issue\u2062 head-on before\u200c it spirals further out of\u200b control. \u2064The \u2063American people deserve a secure border and an immigration system \u2063that upholds the rule of law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 300,000 illegal immigrants were encountered by U.S. border officials in December, setting a record for the highest monthly number.
