Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Insecurity

At a recent Congressional hearing, Senator John Kennedy embarrassed the upper leadership of the Department of Homeland Security. That was not his intent, but that is what happened. He asked high-ranking members of Homeland Security exceedingly simple questions.

Do the Numbers Matter?

Did they know how many people have crossed the border thus far during Biden's administration? Eight million, but none knew. He asked whether or not the Biden administration was seeking to have aliens and asylum seekers stop in the first country that represented a safe haven. None responded coherently. 

Since 30% of the eight million border crossers have been from Mexico, 70% or 5.6 million people would not have come to our border. By contrast, Nebraska’s entire population is barely two million people.

As Kennedy posed one question after another to these top officials, whose mission is to protect the homeland, they offered nothing of substance. Their collective testimonies were a total sham. None of them deserve to be in the positions they hold or receive a substantial government paycheck with all kinds of benefits. 

The China Syndrome

Let’s consider one type of border infiltration: Between January and September of 2023, more than 22,000 Chinese Nationals have been apprehended while attempting to cross our Southern border. The numbers are staggering when you consider that this represents a 13 times increase over the same period in 2022. 

From China.... you know, the country with Feng Feng, Joe, James, and Hunter Biden on the payroll? The country that seeks to steal our technology at every turn sets up surveillance outposts at American universities, dishonors patents and trademarks, sides with Russia and Iran, and sends spy balloons over North America?

If only 1% of these Chinese “asylum seekers” are spies, that would wreak havoc on our homeland security. Beyond the sheer numbers, one must realize that most of these Chinese line jumpers are lone adults, mostly 20 to 30-year-old men, with no spouse, children, or family to speak of. 

Often, their land-based journey begins in Ecuador. Why? Because Ecuador allows Chinese to travel there without a visa. 

The Long and Winding Road

These line jumpers join up with others from around the world for an ultra-long hike through the Darien Gap, a trail that extends from South America to North America in a rainforest covered with thick vegetation. 

Curiously, from 2010 to 2020, less than 400 Chinese Nationals were on record as having attempted the arduous hike. Then, mysteriously, the figure suddenly grew and grew. So far this year, a reported 5,500 Chinese Nationals have been registered as entering the Gap. 

Too many of these Chinese Nationals are suspect and represent a distinct security threat. Let's be frank: the Chinese Communist Party wants to send as many spies here as possible through every means available. Under the Biden administration, many means are available. 

Why is the Biden administration so lax, particularly regarding this brand of gate crashers? James Comer’s congressional committee has documented that Biden and company have taken huge bribes from the Chinese government in the form of influence peddling, sweetheart deals, and so on.

Joe Biden has long sold out America for huge personal financial gain. He is now selling out America again by not honoring his fundamental responsibility as commander-in-chief, which is to secure the border and keep Americans safe. 

A Traitor by Any Other Name

There needs to be no greater justification than that for impeaching Joe Biden, a complete and utter disaster as president and a traitor to our country. Biden has installed lame cabinet secretaries and significant government officials across the Federal government. They could care less if 20 million or 30 million invaders appear at the border. Indeed, they surreptitiously applaud it. 

They hate America; they want to make us just another country, but they want to retain power. They think that the rest of the population is inferior to themselves. They believe that by flooding the country with potential future Democrat voters, they will accomplish their goals. 

This Leftist ideology must be stopped. Each one should be impeached and even indicted for neglecting their duties, for de facto overturning our laws, and for imperiling our country in ways that will reverberate for years to come.
