In a brazen lie, the president claimed \u2063at\u2062 a White House meeting that he is not to blame for the border debacle and urged the\u200c governors\u200b to pressure \u200btheir members of Congress to pass the \u2063&#8221;bipartisan security bill&#8221; that recently failed. \u2064 <\/p>\n<p>Half of the nation&#8217;s governors are standing with Texas in its right to defend itself against the influx of\u2062 illegal immigrants attempting to flood the state. The Biden administration has opposed \u2064Governor Greg \u2062Abbott&#8217;s efforts to address the dangerous\u2064 gaps created by the administration&#8217;s failure to secure the border. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every individual \u2062who\u200b is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of\u2064 drugs seized would have otherwise made\u2064 their \u2062way into communities across Texas and the nation due to President Joe Biden&#8217;s open border\u200d policies,&#8221; stated a press \u2064release \u2062from Governor Abbott&#8217;s\u2063 office after he welcomed 13 fellow Republican governors to Eagle Pass,\u200d a border town overwhelmed by\u200c illegal aliens. <\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s helpless act\u200d is not resonating with the\u200c American\u200d people. Ira\u2063 Mehlman, media director for the Federation for American Immigration \u2063Reform\u2063 (FAIR), pointed\u200d out that \u200bsince taking office, Biden has had the authority to tighten security at the southwest border,\u200d at the \u200cvery least by maintaining the existing policies. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The law is not only\u2063 clear that he not\u200d only can enforce\u200c immigration laws, he\u200d is required \u2062to \u2062enforce them \u2063and he simply\u2062 has been ignoring them,&#8221; said Mehlman in an\u2064 interview\u200c last week. \u2063 <\/p>\n<p>In\u2064 fact,\u200d Biden has signed numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/usa_biden-signs-executive-orders-reversing-trump-immigration-policies\/6201520.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">executive orders<\/a> that\u200c have reversed Trump&#8217;s efforts to secure the border. One of his first acts\u2062 as president was to \u200chalt construction of the border wall. Biden reinstated catch-and-release\u2063 and ended the remain-in-Mexico policy, among other actions that have effectively erased the United States&#8217; southwest border. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not making new law. I&#8217;m eliminating bad policy,&#8221; Biden \u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/usa_biden-signs-executive-orders-reversing-trump-immigration-policies\/6201520.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> at the time. <\/p>\n<p>The \u2063consequences have been devastating, extending far\u200b beyond the border. From major cities grappling with an \u200dinflux of illegal aliens to small\u200d towns dealing with rising crime \u200band a fatal fentanyl\u2062 epidemic, \u2064Americans are experiencing the direct impact of Biden&#8217;s border\u200b policies. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p>Last week, 22-year-old University of\u2062 Georgia \u200bnursing\u200b student Laken Hope Riley was assaulted, kidnapped, and murdered. An illegal immigrant from\u200b Venezuela has\u2063 been arrested in connection with the crime, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsnationnow.com\/crime\/uga-death-nursing-student\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> law enforcement<\/a>. The suspect is expected to \u2062face multiple \u200bcharges. Corporate media outlets are attempting \u2063to downplay\u200d the fact \u2062that the suspect is an\u2062 illegal immigrant, but the American people are aware of the deadly \u200dconsequences of\u200b Biden&#8217;s open border policies.

This sentiment has been widely attributed to President Joe Biden and his left-leaning \u200ballies.<\/p>\n<p>Conducted between February 1 \u2064and 20, the Gallup survey included\u200c over 1,000 adults nationwide. The results revealed\u200c that 55\u200b percent of respondents view &#8220;large\u200c numbers of immigrants entering\u2063 the United States illegally&#8221;\u200c as\u200d a significant threat,\u2064 marking an 8 percentage point increase from the previous year and surpassing the previous high of \u206350 percent recorded in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Gallup states \u2064that &#8220;significantly\u2064 more \u200cAmericans name\u2063 immigration as the \u200bmost important \u2063problem facing the\u2063 U.S.,&#8221; with 28 percent of respondents now citing it as such, \u200ccompared to 20 percent in \u2064the previous month. This latest poll also marks the highest level of concern about illegal immigration in\u2063 over 40 years \u200dof Gallup tracking.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, congressional \u2062job approval has plummeted to a \u200dmere 12 percent, the lowest rating \u200cfor the\u200d legislative body since November 2015. \u200bThe timing of \u2063this poll coincided with a controversial border &#8220;reform&#8221; bill that\u2062 ultimately failed in the U.S.\u2063 Senate, further contributing to the erosion of trust in lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden&#8217;s approval\u2063 rating on immigration has also suffered, dropping to \u200c28 percent, according to the Gallup poll. This decline follows \u200ba previous CBS poll \u200bthat found a mere 32\u2063 percent \u2063approval rating for Biden&#8217;s handling \u2062of border security, an all-time low at the time. A \u2062recent monthly Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll places\u200c Biden&#8217;s immigration approval rating at 35 percent, his lowest rating on any issue within that\u2064 survey.<\/p>\n<p>The prominence of immigration \u200cas a pressing \u2062concern is evident in Gallup&#8217;s assessment of the poll. Despite other economic and\u200c inflation \u200bconcerns, immigration now stands\u2063 alone as\u200b the\u2064 most important\u200c problem facing the United\u2062 States, a position it has only occasionally held in Gallup&#8217;s trend and has \u200dnot held since\u2063 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences\u200d of President \u200bBiden&#8217;s immigration policies and their apparent\u2063 failures are\u200d becoming increasingly difficult to ignore, even among biased media\u2062 outlets. The \u2062left, typically advocating for open borders, can no longer dismiss\u200d the alarming statistics associated with illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Under Biden&#8217;s administration, Customs and Border Protection encountered a staggering 2.4 million illegal immigrants at\u200c the border with Mexico and 3.2\u2063 million \u200dnationwide, dwarfing the roughly 400,000\u2064 encounters recorded during the final year of President Donald Trump&#8217;s term.<\/p>\n<p>Facing dismal poll numbers and a potential threat to his\u2062 chances of re-election, President Biden audaciously claimed\u200d his hands were tied and shifted \u200cblame onto Congress \u200bduring a meeting with 30 governors. However, numerous governors, notably from Republican-led states such as Texas, have\u2062 pushed back against the administration&#8217;s failure \u200dto secure the border.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Greg \u2063Abbott of Texas, supported by 13 fellow Republican \u2063governors, highlighted the impact of Biden&#8217;s open border policies on communities\u2064 across the nation. Despite Biden claiming he \u2064lacks the authority\u200c to address the border crisis, his\u200b ability to enforce existing immigration \u200dlaws has \u2063been called into question by immigration experts.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, since assuming office, President Biden has signed a series of executive orders reversing Trump&#8217;s border security efforts, including halting\u200b the construction of the \u200bborder wall and reinstating catch-and-release policies. These actions \u200chave effectively dismantled Trump&#8217;s policies and \u200cweakened the security of the United States&#8217; southwest border.<\/p>\n<p>As public concern reaches unprecedented levels, it \u200cis\u2062 clear that illegal immigration \u2064is no longer a peripheral issue but \u200bone that demands\u2064 immediate attention. The record\u2064 number of\u200b Americans viewing it\u200c as a &#8220;critical threat&#8221;\u2063 sends a strong message to the Biden administration and policymakers alike. The consequences \u2063of inaction or failed policies in the face of this crisis could \u200bhave lasting repercussions \u200cfor the \u2063nation&#8217;s security and prosperity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reveals that a significant number of Americans view illegal immigration as a major threat to the country&#8217;s crucial interests.
