The Biden administration’s open border policy has invited the most violent and lawless to flock to America and enter our country with virtually no impediments.  The unvetted come here neither pledging allegiance to the United States nor relinquishing their citizenship and loyalties to foreign powers.  Our government is giving each at taxpayers’ expense cash, a cell phone, health care, legal help, transportation, and lodging.  NGOs operating almost exclusively on federal grants buy the illegal aliens’ bus, train, and plane tickets to wherever they wish to go across the country.  For upwards of eight months, their livelihood is financed by tax dollars.  Our tax dollars are literally paying for the invasion and destruction of own country.  This massive welfare to the world and without limit grows every second of every day indefinitely into the future.

I just came back from an eye-opening CBP tour of the U.S.-Mexico border (San Diego Sector).  CBP agents who formerly policed the border have been reassigned to human processing, leaving our nation largely defenseless.  Just one of the massive 132,000 square foot human processing centers cost taxpayers $32 million to construct (a huge white tent with detention pods inside) and $9 million monthly to operate.  Along the border, CBP drove me to areas of peculiar national security interest, all left unprotected.

In one, CBP showed me where water sometimes flows from Mexico to the United States.  To accommodate the flows, large drainage tunnels have been constructed out of concrete.  CBP welds onto the openings of the tunnels iron grates.  Cartel agents who carry diamond cutters on their belts regularly cut the grates to facilitate illegal entry of drugs and gangs.  As the clip of me at this border intersection reveals, the tunnels into the United States were open at the time of my visit.  

In another area, you can see where the Biden administration ordered border wall construction halted.  That area, the Zone 18 border gap, is wide open.  On the Mexican side there are cartel dwellings.  Before my visit, two illegal aliens crossed onto American soil at Zone 18 between the Mexican side and the wall for the American side, an area CBP calls “no man’s land.”  Cartel members tracked the aliens into no man’s land and shot them for failing to pay their full ransom for entry into the U.S.  One died.  The other was rescued by CBP and survived.  When U.S. authorities alerted their Mexican counterparts of the incident, 8 more bodies were found on the Mexican side, apparently of those who also failed to pay their full ransom.  In this same area, CBP told me they found a large vat of acid into which bodies of those executed were placed to reduce them to bones for discarding.  This grizzly criminal and inhuman trade the Biden administration facilitates by refusing to defend the American border.  Each illegal alien on the way to America is robbed and victimized by the cartels.  Women are sexually assaulted.  Children are abused and trafficked.  Many die before they reach the U.S. border.

In a third area, the CBP showed me where on the Mexican side the cartels dug dozens of deep tunnels traversing the border underground and extending some one-half to two miles into American interior.  Through these tunnels, the cartels smuggle drugs with armed Mexican police escorts (corrupt police, of course) into vacant warehouses on the American side.  The warehouses are ordinarily empty at night when the illicit trafficking takes place.  Here is where I identify one of the warehouses used by the drug smugglers.  CBP has no idea the full extent of tunnels operating nightly but believes dozens are now operational.

In a fourth area, I encountered a young man from Ecuador at the border wall.  I asked him why he did not seek asylum at the U.S. embassy in Ecuador.  He said that was too bureaucratic and required a lot of paperwork.  To avoid the hassle, he came to the border.  I asked him where he planned to go in the United States.  He said Manhattan (where he will find thousands of fellow illegals overwhelming that city).  This is my interview with the man from Ecuador through the border wall.

The CBP informed me that the draw-down of agents at the border and the effective abandonment of border protection has led to a massive increase in criminal entries, including drug smugglers, sex traffickers, gang members, and terrorists.  I was told that fewer than 1% of violent criminals are being interdicted on their way to the United States.  Even when those suspected of crime are caught, because CBP ordinarily lacks histories on those it arrests, it is obliged by Biden administration policy to let them go into the U.S.  I was also told that ultralight aircraft and drones are being used by the cartels for nightly drug drops in remote mountainous areas and that the CBP has no resources from the Biden administration to act against these air space intrusions.

The Biden administration’s legacy is defined by this incessant invasion of our country and destruction of Americans’ lives and property.  Among us today are terrorists, drug smugglers, sex traffickers, and gangs intent on raping, pillaging, and destroying, all here courtesy of the Biden administration.  Their numbers will easily double between now and the November 2024 presidential election.
