Biden’s Border Catastrophe Exposed
Remember when the left insisted there was no border crisis? Well, the receipts are in, and they’re worse than anyone imagined. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) – a Trump creation that’s already proving its worth – discovered that under Biden’s watch, 6,300 foreign nationals who were either on FBI terrorist watchlists or had criminal backgrounds were casually welcomed into our country with parole status. Not only were these individuals allowed entry, but they were also handed social security numbers and access to American taxpayer-funded benefits like it was Christmas morning. This is beyond incompetence – it’s a deliberate disregard for American security.
The Biden administration’s reckless “welcome all” approach to immigration has created not just a humanitarian crisis at our border but a genuine national security nightmare. These weren’t just random border crossers – these were individuals flagged by our own intelligence agencies as potential threats or people with known criminal histories. Yet instead of being turned away, they received the red-carpet treatment: work authorization, social security numbers, and access to Medicaid, unemployment insurance, and even federal student loans. Your tax dollars at work, folks – funding benefits for people who shouldn’t have been in the country in the first place.
Trump’s Immediate Action to Clean Up the Mess
Wasting no time after taking office, President Trump and his administration have moved decisively to address this catastrophic security failure. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has revoked parole for all 6,300 of these high-risk individuals, closing a dangerous loophole that never should have existed. The administration is also targeting the roughly 985,000 migrants who were admitted under the Biden administration’s controversial CBP One app – a digital doorway that essentially formalized illegal entry into a streamlined process. These aren’t isolated actions but part of a comprehensive border security strategy that includes declaring cartels as terrorist organizations and ending the failed “catch and release” policies.
“Under the Biden administration, it was routine for Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening. So far, [Customs and Border Protection] identified a subset of 6.3k individuals paroled into the United States since 2023 on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or with criminal records. These paroles have since been terminated with immediate effect.”
President Trump has made it crystal clear that the days of America’s sovereignty being treated as optional are over. His executive actions on border security represent the most aggressive immigration enforcement plan in modern American history. The administration isn’t just talking about border security – they’re implementing concrete measures to seal the border, end asylum abuse, and remove those who entered illegally. It’s the type of decisive action Americans have been demanding for years while Democrats pretended there wasn’t a problem. The contrast couldn’t be more stark: one administration that actively undermined our immigration laws versus one that’s determined to enforce them.
Legal Roadblocks from the Activist Judiciary
Predictably, the left’s judicial activists are already throwing up roadblocks. A federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration’s attempt to revoke parole for approximately 500,000 individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela under the CHNV program. This is the same old story we’ve seen throughout previous immigration enforcement efforts – unelected judges substituting their political preferences for the president’s constitutional authority over immigration and national security. The legal battles are just beginning, and they highlight the uphill battle any administration faces when trying to restore order to our immigration system.
“Our southern border is overrun by cartels, criminal gangs, known terrorists, human traffickers, smugglers, unvetted military-age males from foreign adversaries, and illicit narcotics that harm Americans”
The Department of Homeland Security is standing firm despite the legal challenges, making it clear that Secretary Noem has full legal authority to revoke parole in the interest of national security. “Under federal law, Secretary Noem — in support of the president — has full authority to revoke parole. Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national security,” a DHS spokesperson stated. This battle between executive authority and judicial activism will likely continue throughout Trump’s term, but the administration appears determined to push forward with its immigration agenda regardless of the inevitable legal challenges from the left.
A Return to Sanity and Sovereignty
The revelation that thousands of potential security threats were knowingly admitted into our country under the previous administration should outrage every American, regardless of political affiliation. This isn’t about politics – it’s about basic competence and the fundamental duty of government to protect its citizens. The Trump administration’s immediate action to address this security failure represents a return to the sanity and common sense that’s been missing from our immigration policy. Border security isn’t a conservative or liberal issue – it’s an American issue. A country without secure borders isn’t a country at all, just a geographical area waiting to be exploited.
“Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.”
As these policies continue to roll out and the inevitable legal battles unfold, Americans should remember what’s truly at stake. This isn’t just about immigration numbers or political talking points – it’s about whether we are a nation of laws with defined borders or just an idea with suggested guidelines. The Biden administration chose the latter, with catastrophic results for American security and sovereignty. The Trump administration is choosing to restore order and put American interests first. That’s not xenophobia or fear-mongering – it’s governance as it should be. After four years of deliberate border chaos, America is finally getting back to basics: a country that knows who enters its territory and says “no” when necessary.
