In some of his first actions in office, President Joe Biden did away with the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which kept foreigners who tried to enter the U.S. illegally in Mexico to await hearings. Instead, Biden has returned to a \u201ccatch-and-release\u201d policy in which illegal aliens are allowed to enter the U.S. and ordered to appear at hearings later, which they often skip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndividuals that they have on the watch list for terrorism are now starting to exploit the southern border,\u201d Rep. John Katko (R-NY), the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee. \u201cPeople who they\u2019ve got in the last few days\u2026 have been on the terror watchlist,\u201d Katko said during a press conference held at the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to wake up, we need to understand. Listen Mr. President Biden, you\u2019re an OK guy,\u201d Katko said. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just admit you made a mistake with this policy and go back to the way it was and keep America safe for all of us?\u201d the lawmaker said. \u201cAnd use that money that we\u2019re wasting down here on American citizens. The door should not be open and we should have immigration the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katko visited a section of border wall in El Paso, Texas, along with other House Republicans, including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). McCarthy called the situation at the border \u201cbeyond a crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katko later expanded his claims, saying \u201cpeople from Yemen and the Middle East are coming across the border now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker also said drug cartels are exploiting the border mayhem. \u201cThe cartels know when to exploit the Southern border and they\u2019re doing it now masterfully,\u201d Katko said. \u201cThey\u2019re doing it because President Biden rolled back a lot of the orders of the previous administration that were working. There is indeed disorder at the border by executive order. No question about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Immigrants who are swarming to the U.S.-Mexico border say President Joe Biden \u201cpromised\u201d them they would be allowed to enter the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden promised us that everything was going to change,\u201d Gladys Oneida P\u00e9rez Cruz, a woman who traveled to the border with her son, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/14\/world\/americas\/mexico-border-biden.html\">told<\/a> The New York Times. \u201cHe hasn\u2019t done it yet, but he is going to be a good president for migrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times said another woman in tears at the border said, \u201cBiden promised us!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers say that some 100,000 foreigners came to the border in February alone, and after weeks of claiming all is well, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Saturday acknowledged that \u201crecord numbers\u201d of foreigners are overwhelming U.S. agencies, prompting the department to call in help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/immigrants-swarming-u-s-mexico-border-say-biden-encouraged-them-to-come\">Immigrants Swarming U.S.-Mexico Border Say Biden Encouraged Them To Come<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
