Raul Ortiz, who\u200c commanded 21,000 people as the chief of the Border Patrol, expressed concern over this lack \u200cof communication.<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz also acknowledged that the Biden administration\u2062 was sending mixed messages to migrants crossing the border. This admission \u200braised troubling questions for Andrew &#8220;Art&#8221; Arthur, a resident fellow in law and policy at the Center for \u2062Immigration\u2064 Studies, who wondered why President Biden never discussed the effects of \u2062terminating Title 42 with Ortiz.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur further criticized the \u200badministration for not addressing the national-security and humanitarian effects of the border crisis and for showing a\u2064 lack of respect for the affected cities and their residents.<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz&#8217;s \u2064interview comes at a time when Texas is fighting the administration to close the border. The Supreme Court recently vacated an injunction that had temporarily barred the removal of\u200d razor wire erected by Texas\u2062 to\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/border-patrol-braces-for-removal-of-title-42-amid-historic-southern-border-crossings\/\" title=\"Border Patrol Braces for Removal of Title 42 Amid Historic Southern Border Crossings\">deter illegal crossings<\/a>. Texas Governor Greg \u2062Abbott has maintained orders for state agents to\u200d protect parts of the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration is expecting a significant\u200b increase in migrants living\u200d in\u200b the United\u2062 States\u200d by October, according \u2062to the New York Post. House\u2063 Republicans have even \u2063impeached Homeland\u200d Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas \u2062over the\u200c administration&#8217;s efforts to undermine border security.<\/p>\n<p>Both President Biden and former President Donald Trump \u200bvisited\u2064 the border last week, highlighting immigration as\u200d a dominant issue in the upcoming\u200c election. A recent Gallup poll showed that immigration is \u2062the top concern among U.S. \u200cadults.<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to address the border crisis, Biden is considering new executive actions and federal regulations, contradicting the Democrats&#8217;\u2063 claim that\u2063 the president is powerless to confront the issue.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist and the author of Social Justice\u200b Redux, a conservative newsletter on culture, health, and wellness.

This ruling allows the\u2064 state to continue\u200c its \u200cefforts to secure the border and address the ongoing \u2062crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The revelation\u2064 that\u2063 Ortiz never \u2062had a \u2063conversation with President Biden or Vice President\u2064 Harris about\u2062 the crisis at the southern\u200d border raises serious concerns. As the former head of U.S. Border Patrol, \u200cOrtiz \u2063had firsthand knowledge and experience\u2062 in \u200cdealing with the \u2062challenges and\u200d complexities of border security. It is \u200calarming\u200c that \u2063the administration did not seek his input or engage in a meaningful \u2062dialogue with him regarding \u2062this \u200dcritical issue.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the mixed messages\u200d being sent by the Biden administration to migrants crossing the border only exacerbate the situation. It is essential to have clear and consistent messaging to deter illegal immigration and \u200densure the enforcement of immigration laws. By\u200b sending mixed signals, the administration is inadvertently\u200d encouraging more people to \u2063make the dangerous journey to the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Arthur, a resident \u2063fellow at the Center for \u2063Immigration Studies, rightly questions why President \u200bBiden \u200cfailed\u2064 to discuss the effects of \u2063terminating Title 42 with Ortiz. Title 42 provides the legal \u2064authority \u2064to expel certain individuals, such\u2063 as those posing\u200b a\u2062 public-health risk, during times of crisis. By terminating\u2064 this policy, the administration has unknowingly contributed to the surge of migrants \u2062at the \u200dborder and neglected the national-security implications.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the lack of communication and\u200c mixed messaging, the Biden\u2064 administration has also overlooked the \u200cnational-security and humanitarian effects \u2063of\u200b the border\u2062 crisis. The \u2062influx of \u2064migrants not only strains law enforcement \u200bresources but\u2062 also poses potential threats to public safety. It is crucial for the administration to address these \u2063concerns and implement\u2064 effective measures to\u2062 protect the \u200bAmerican people and uphold national security.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover,\u200d the administration&#8217;s disregard for the affected cities and their residents is deeply concerning.\u2062 The border crisis has placed an \u2064enormous burden on \u200dcommunities along the southern border, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-arresting-illegal-immigrants-as-it-continues-to-defy-biden-administration\/\" title=\"Texas arrests illegal immigrants, defying Biden administration\">including increased crime rates<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/antony-blinken-says-u-s-and-israel-will-review-intel-failure-goal-remains-to-repel-hamas\/\" title=\"Blinken: U.S. and Israel to assess intel failure, still focused on countering Hamas.\">overwhelmed healthcare systems<\/a>, and strained social services. The lack of respect\u2062 shown to\u2064 these communities\u200c further highlights the administration&#8217;s failure to prioritize the well-being and safety of its own citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz&#8217;s interview sheds light on the ongoing challenges\u2064 and failures of the Biden administration in\u2064 handling the border\u200b crisis.\u200d It serves as a wake-up call for the administration to\u200b take immediate action, engage in meaningful conversations\u2063 with border security experts like Ortiz, and \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/musk-warns-theres-a-chance-ai-goes-wrong-and-destroys-humanity\/\" title=\"Musk cautions about AI potentially destroying humanity.\">develop comprehensive solutions<\/a> to address this pressing issue.<\/p>\n<p>As Texas continues its fight\u2063 to secure the border, it is crucial for the Biden administration to recognize the\u2062 urgency of the situation\u2062 and work collaboratively with\u2064 states, law \u2063enforcement agencies, and border communities\u2063 to restore\u2062 order and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/border-agent-bloodied-after-alleged-fight-with-migrant\/\" title=\"Border agent injured in altercation with migrant\">enforce immigration laws effectively<\/a>. The \u200cSupreme Court&#8217;s recent ruling provides an opportunity for the\u200c administration \u200dto reassess its approach and prioritize \u2062the \u2063national-security and humanitarian\u2063 implications\u2064 of the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The border\u2063 crisis affects not only the southern border states\u2062 but also the \u2064entire nation.\u200b It\u2064 is imperative\u200d for the\u200d Biden administration \u200dto \u200backnowledge this reality, take responsibility for its \u200bfailures, and implement immediate and effective measures to secure the border, protect \u2063American citizens, and uphold the rule of \u200blaw.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the revelations made by Raul Ortiz,\u2062 the former head of U.S. Border Patrol, expose the lack of communication, mixed messaging, and disregard shown by \u2063the\u200c Biden administration towards the crisis at the southern border. This article highlights the urgent need for the administration to address the\u2062 national-security and humanitarian implications, engage in meaningful dialogue with border security experts, and work collaboratively to find comprehensive solutions. The \u200cSupreme Court&#8217;s recent ruling further emphasizes\u2063 the importance of taking immediate action to\u2064 secure the border and\u2062 protect the well-being of the American people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raul Ortiz, the ex-chief of U.S. Border Patrol during President Biden&#8217;s term, revealed to CBS that he never discussed the border crisis with either the president or Vice President Kamala Harris, who is in charge of the issue.
