In his groundbreaking docu-series, now streaming on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/invasion-on-the-southern-border\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DailyWire+<\/a>,\u2063 Shapiro delves deep\u200c into \u2062the heart \u2063of President Joe Biden&#8217;s\u200c border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>During his visit, Shapiro engages in eye-opening conversations with \u2064dedicated Border Patrol agents and a grieving mother\u200b whose\u200c son\u200d tragically lost \u200bhis \u200blife at\u200d the\u2063 hands of an illegal immigrant. \u2064The release of this powerful docu-series coincides with \u2064the ongoing battle between the\u200c Biden\u2064 administration and \u200dTexas over border enforcement. Texas Governor Greg Abbott \u2063staunchly defends his state&#8217;s Constitutional right to protect its borders, garnering support from twenty-five Republican governors \u200bacross the nation.<\/p>\n<h3>Unveiling the &#8220;Divided States of Biden&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Shapiro&#8217;s docu-series, aptly named \u200c&#8221;Divided States of Biden,&#8221; uncovers \u200dthe dire consequences of\u2062 President Biden&#8217;s policies, which have\u200d triggered\u2064 a staggering surge in illegal immigration, fentanyl trafficking, and \u200bhuman exploitation. \u200bVenturing into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-biden-dhs-released-50000-illegal-immigrants-into-the-u-s-without-court-dates\/\" title=\"Report: Biden DHS Released 50,000 Illegal Immigrants Into the U.S. Without Court Dates\">highly trafficked areas<\/a> along the southern border, \u2062Shapiro exposes the alarming ease with which\u2062 migrants illegally enter the United\u2062 States. He also sheds light on the concerning fact that federal agents often\u200b lack \u2063crucial information about the \u2062backgrounds of the individuals they process \u2062before \u200creleasing them into the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One\u2064 of\u200c the most significant \u200bcosts of illegal\u200c immigration is crime,&#8221; Shapiro asserts. &#8220;While not every illegal immigrant is a criminal, \u200bthere are unfortunately many\u200c criminals who are\u200c here illegally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I went to our southern border.

Joshua, \u2064a devout young man, was brutally beaten, tortured, and murdered \u200bby Hermilo Moralez,\u2064 an illegal immigrant from Belize.<\/p>\n<p>Wilkerson shares \u200dthe heart-wrenching details of \u200bhow \u200dher 18-year-old\u200c son, who \u2064never \u200breturned home from school\u200b one fateful \u200cday, fell \u200cvictim to Morales, a\u2064 classmate who callously took his life and concealed his body. Shapiro also accompanies Border Patrol agent Brandon Judd to the Tucson, Arizona sector, \u200cone of the most active areas for federal \u2063government officials \u200bcombating the\u200d influx \u200cof illegal immigrants. Shockingly, this sector also serves as the primary hub for fentanyl trafficking in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under \u200bPresident Biden, approximately five \u200dmillion people have been released into the United States, \u200band they are\u200d here \u2062to stay,&#8221; Judd reveals. &#8220;Not \u200dbecause they are legal, but because there simply aren&#8217;t enough resources \u200bto locate and remove them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro&#8217;s \u2062investigation uncovers a \u2064startling \u200ctruth: the number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. \u200chas tripled in just over two \u2064years under Biden, surpassing the\u2062 entire four-year span of the Trump administration. As Shapiro aptly\u200c points out, when President Biden calls for increased funding for\u200c the border, he essentially seeks more resources to \u200dfacilitate the illegal\u2064 entry of immigrants. Rather than \u200coffering genuine \u200dsolutions,\u2064 Biden&#8217;s approach exacerbates the problem at our southern border.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> According to Shapiro, what solutions should be part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-promises-comprehensive-immigration-reform-sowell-warned-against-this-buzzword-years-ago-2\/\" title=\"Biden vows 'Comprehensive Immigration Reform' despite Sowell's earlier warning.\">comprehensive\u2062 immigration reform<\/a> to address\u200b the\u2064 border crisis and its underlying causes<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200c R to see the \u2064crisis firsthand. Here are my thoughts: pic.twitter.com\/eWnSDkB92K<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Shapiro\u2064 (@benshapiro) October 13, 2021<\/p>\n<h3>A Human\u200c Tragedy<\/h3>\n<p>The docu-series also shines a\u2064 light\u2063 on\u2063 the\u200b human tragedy unfolding at the border. Shapiro&#8217;s conversations with Border \u200cPatrol agents reveal \u2062shocking stories of exploitation, violence, \u2064and\u200b even death. From human smuggling to\u2064 the operation of drug cartels,\u2063 the consequences of unsecured borders are devastating\u200b for both the\u200d United \u200bStates and the migrants themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s heartbreaking to \u200dsee the dangers \u2063these \u200dindividuals face in pursuit of a better life,&#8221; Shapiro states. &#8220;But it&#8217;s equally concerning\u2064 to \u200dsee how porous our border has become, allowing criminals \u200dand drugs \u200bto\u2063 infiltrate our communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Crisis of\u200b Leadership<\/h3>\n<p>Shapiro&#8217;s\u2064 investigation \ufeffraises serious questions \u2062about President\u200b Biden&#8217;s\ufeff handling of the border crisis. Critics argue that the Biden administration&#8217;s \u200brollback of \u200cimmigration policies, such \u2064as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) and\u200b agreements with\u2062 Northern Triangle countries, has played a significant role in fueling the surge of \u2063illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The\u2064 message that has been sent\u2063 is that if you come illegally, you will \u200dbe allowed to stay. This has created\u2064 a massive incentive for people to attempt the dangerous journey,&#8221;\u2064 Shapiro explains. &#8220;President Biden&#8217;s rhetoric and policies on \u2062border security have directly contributed\u2062 to the crisis \u200bwe see today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Shapiro highlights the\u2064 lack of transparency and accountability surrounding the handling\u2064 of unaccompanied minors at the border. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/foxs-brian-kilmeade-calls-kjps-border-comments-the-most-worthless-series-of-sentences-i-could-imagine\/\" title=\"Fox's Brian Kilmeade Calls KJP's Border Comments 'The Most Worthless Series of Sentences I Could Imagine'\">overcrowded\u200b detention facilities<\/a>, \u2063where children are held for extended periods, raise\u200c serious concerns about the welfare of these \u200dvulnerable individuals.<\/p>\n<h3>The Road Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>As \u2062the docu-series comes\u2062 to a\u200c close, \u200cShapiro reflects\u2063 on the urgent need for comprehensive immigration \u200dreform. He \u2064argues that border \u2064security, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-and-senate-leaders-reach-spending-deal-johnson-touts-concessions\/\" title=\"House and Senate leaders agree on spending deal; Johnson highlights 'concessions\">including physical\u200d barriers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-swarms-small-town-with-swat-team-and-armored-vehicles-in-search-of-jan-6-suspect\/\" title=\"FBI Swarms Small Town with SWAT Team and Armored Vehicles in Search of Jan. 6 Suspect\">increased law enforcement \u2064presence<\/a>, should be a vital component of \u2063any solution. Additionally, \u200bhe emphasizes the\u200c importance of addressing \u200cthe root causes that\u200b drive migration, \u200csuch as economic instability\u2062 and violence in Central \u200cAmerican \u200bcountries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have\u200c a moral \u2062obligation to secure our borders and protect our citizens,&#8221; Shapiro concludes. &#8220;But we also have \u200ba moral obligation to address the \u200dunderlying issues that drive people\u2063 to risk everything for a chance at a better life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>By shedding \u200dlight on the realities of the \u200cborder crisis, Ben Shapiro&#8217;s docu-series serves as a wake-up call to the American people and policymakers alike. It demands urgent \u200caction and \u200da renewed commitment to securing\u200b our borders while upholding our values as a \u2062nation of immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>To watch the\u2062 docu-series &#8220;Divided States \u200dof Biden&#8221; and\u2063 gain a deeper understanding of \u200dthe border\u200b crisis, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/invasion-on-the-southern-border\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DailyWire+ website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Wire&#8217;s Ben Shapiro explores the truth behind President Biden&#8217;s border crisis at a busy U.S. southern border location.
