In case you missed it - yesterday Harris-Walz unveiled their positions on border security and immigration.
They specifically reiterated support for legislation that does the following ⬇️
This is unreal. DHS is focused on terminating the Remain in Mexico program AGAIN - after the courts told them to restart the program and despite its effectiveness. It’s like they are trying to fail.
WH press briefing today was hard to watch. DHS Sec. does not believe there is a crisis at the SWB. With respect, that defies logic, reality, and the facts. Ask communities along the border.
This is the definition of an open borders policy. Devastating results for American communities, DHS law enforcement officers, and the migrants themselves. The most inhuman approach to border security happening in real time.
BREAKING: I am absolutely stunned by what I’m witnessing right now. We are on a boat in the Rio Grande near the Del Rio international bridge and we are watching as masses of hundreds of migrants walk across the river from Mexico and stream into the US illegally.

In another dishonest disclosure from the Biden-Harris Admin regarding the true extent of the border crisis, we have a Friday news dump and political spin. Here’s a breakdown ⬇️
Former President Trump speaking in PA tonight. He just addressed the border crisis for over 10 minutes. That's 10+ minutes more than President Biden has done for the past 22 months.

This isn’t difficult - the term “alien” appears multiple times in Title 8 of the U.S. Code. It describes a person who is not a citizen or national of the U.S. And when those individuals choose to enter the country illegally they become “illegal aliens.” There’s nothing

Just when you think the Biden team hits rock bottom in their handling of the border, they go lower. 2.38 million illegal alien apprehensions this Fiscal Year. That is more than ALL 4 YEARS of the Trump Administration COMBINED 🚨🚨
5⃣ Severely limits the President’s ability to restrict individuals coming into the U.S. from areas of the world who are “not in the national interest” – putting the interests of illegal aliens over our national security.

VP Harris called the border wall a “vanity project” and said she would never vote for it. 12 million illegal aliens later, she is supposedly changing her tune in the midst of a presidential campaign. But she also…
This is absurd! I'm pretty sure the crazed rioting of 2020 came from the Left, Antifa and others. I'm old enough to remember courthouses and cities burning. Law enforcement officers viciously attacked. And MY house targeted. Don't let them forget.

Cruz: "Really?"
Today, Biden tried to take credit for trying to solve the historic border crisis he created. What he should have done is apologize to Border Patrol agents for doing nothing for over three years.
After allowing 10-13 million illegal aliens to cross the border in the last 3.5 years and refusing to take action, we are now suppose to believe the Biden Admin wants to actually take action. 5 months before an election. Transparent.
The Biden Admin is working overtime to tell you that illegal border apprehensions are down. But what they won’t tell you is that inadmissible aliens at Ports of Entry are skyrocketing.
Through direct advertising and direction, the Biden Admin is pushing illegal aliens through
The American people deserve full transparency. The underlying affidavits should be released and the AG should stop hiding behind procedure and process. This action is unprecedented and deserves to be treated as such.

Totally normal. Nothing to see here.
That mention of border and immigration security was lip service. Nothing more. No vision, no strategy. Just a wish list and another hollow push for immigration reform legislation. I think the President may have forgotten he has authority to fix the crisis NOW.
Here’s what the unbiased data really shows:
Total nationwide encounters of illegal aliens in July was 170,273, or more than 3x the number of unlawful crossings they want you to believe occurred.
The Justice Department has pulled out of settlement negotiations with the ACLU to pay monetary damages to immigrant families separated by the Trump administration.
Let’s be clear, illegal immigration remains at unacceptably high levels. Under the failed Biden-Harris policies, nearly every illegal alien they encounter benefits from catch-and-release where they are allowed into the American community of their choice. The Biden-Harris
This is what putting politics over public safety looks like. Physical infrastructure and technology (both elements of the border wall system) are integral parts to an effective border security strategy.
Biden admin is still paying contractors hired to build the wall. But they are not getting paid to finish the wall. They are getting paid to sit there & make sure no one steals materials. I have an idea, the steel beams are harder to take if they are installed-finish the wall.
A few thoughts on today’s

The breakdown of the July nationwide encounters looks like this:

BREAKING: House Republicans have obtained whistleblower documents showing that the FBI is using its counterterrorism division to investigate and add "threat tags" to parents—contradicting Attorney General Garland's sworn testimony.
Merrick Garland must resign.
In a press release, the Biden-Harris Admin selectively only discusses the 56,408 illegal aliens apprehended by Border Patrol between the ports of entry. But the situation is far worse than they are leading on.
Since January 2023, the Biden-Harris Admin has funneled illegal aliens to the ports of entry to claim that border crossings are decreasing. AFPI exposed this accounting gimmick shortly after the CBPOne scheme began.
While I respect the Presidency, this is a pure lie. The admin is looking for any reason to explain the crisis they created. We briefed the transition team numerous, numerous times.

The proper assessment of border security includes 3 relevant data points:
1⃣ Border Patrol apprehensions at the southern border
2⃣ Illegal aliens encountered at southern border ports of entry
3⃣ Illegal aliens encountered at the northern border or allowed to fly directly into
So, the Biden Admin eased sanctions on Venezuela, provided TPS to almost 500k , is paroling thousands a month into the US and in return - less than 900 were removed last year and they just stopped accepting additional flights. Great work.
Jaw-dropping ICE data: Only 834 Venezuelan nationals were deported in fiscal year 2023.
Context: There were approx 335,000 Venezuelan nationals encountered in fiscal year 2023. Just over 201,000 of them were apprehended by Border Patrol after crossing illegally. The rest were
I know the difficulties of the job. But refusing to enforce the law and abusing your discretion is never an option. The decisions made by the Secretary have put American and migrant lives at risk, turning the border into a humanitarian, public safety, and national security

Important to remember that while the media is covering a caravan slowly making its way north, this administration’s open border policies are allowing the equivalent of a caravan a day to illegally enter the US.

Nearly 50% of border apprehensions on July were non-Mexican, non-Northern Triangle. Root causes in Central America aren’t driving mass illegal immigration, Biden Admin policies are.
The Biden-Harris Administration and legacy media are doing their best to convince you that the number of illegal aliens crossing the border is dropping. In doing so, they only talk about a fraction of the illegal aliens encountered at the southern border – specifically those
Ask career employees at DHS and they will tell you that this Admin is specifically targeting career civil servants for doing their job, questioning ill-advised decisions, and speaking truth to power. Chief Scott is the ultimate professional and has served both R and D Admins.

Former President Trump visiting the border, Democrat Congressman Cuellar inviting VP Harris to the border and Governor Abbott building the wall. Hard to keep track of the moving parts of the Biden Border Crisis.
Sent a letter to Congressional appropriators laying out the case for NOT providing more funding to DHS unless specific policy changes are included. Congress should not fund the policies that have led us to this crisis.
Federal judge in Texas temporarily blocks the Biden-Harris Administration’s “parole in place” amnesty for illegal alien spouses. As I explained months ago, this extensive amnesty is unlawful and the courts will strike it down. 👇🏻
On the “Parole in Place” for Illegal Alien Spouses changes:
1⃣ This is arguably one of the most extensive executive amnesty for illegal aliens in over 30 years.
2⃣ This follows Pres. Obama’s playbook of introducing an unlawful amnesty program (DACA) just months before a
Is Kamala Harris’ new ad promoting President Trump’s border wall? Does she now support constructing a border wall? Numerous images of steel bollard designed wall with an anti-climb plate atop. Designed and constructed under President Trump.
What’s clear - President Trump is no ordinary former President or protectee. From his public profile, rallies, court appearances, foreign threats, domestic threats and more - has the USSS resourced his protection detail accordingly?
ICE has essentially been abolished through executive action. I have talked to many ICE law enforcement professionals recently and they are disillusioned and embarrassed about what the agency has become. Remember, they took an oath to enforce the law as written.
WH wrong again. New DHS Disinfo Board is not the same as efforts during the Trump Admin. We focused primarily on foreign influence in elections-not domestic speech. New Board is located in the Secretary's office and has much broader authority than anything under CISA authorities.
BREAKING: CBP reports 242,418 migrant encounters at the southern border in November, the highest November ever recorded & the third highest month of Biden’s presidency.
Border Patrol arrested 17 people on the FBI’s terror watchlist at the southern border in November as well.
When people ask if the border crisis was by design, I point them to absolutely ridiculous statements such as this. Illegal migrants, cartels and others are watching what we do and what we say.
NEW: DHS data shows that 47,705 illegal immigrants failed to report to ICE after they were released into the U.S. with a NTR between 3/31 and 8/31.
NTR is a request to check in w/ ICE within 60 days.
104,171 NTRs issued.
49,859 checked in with ICE.
47,705 did not.

The insanity continues. The FAA must clearly spell out the “security” issue of this TFR to the American people. This looks like a political issue rather than a security issue. I’m guessing the DHS Secretary will receive questions next week during Congressional testimony.
NEW: We’ve learned that the FAA just implemented a two week TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the international bridge in Del Rio, TX, meaning we can no longer fly our FOX drone over it to show images of the thousands of migrants. FAA says “special security reason”.
Another terrible crime at the hands of an illegal alien - more and more common recently. This is a tragic result of historic numbers of illegal aliens apprehended and released into the U.S. The Biden Admin should be using every authority to apprehend, detain, or deport public

And the reference to firing officials is lunacy. Someone might want to remind the Admin that firing a federal employee is near impossible. The media needs to hold the Admin accountable for lying to the American people.

The inhumane nature of Biden-Harris' failed border policies is having a direct impact on the most vulnerable. Read my latest with
@the_roblaw
on the recent DHS investigation into the 320,000 trafficked migrant children who have been lost in the system.
Border Patrol agents are turning their backs on the DHS Secretary because they see the complete lack of leadership and transparency at the top. The border crisis is overwhelming our federal law enforcement.
Here’s why February’s record setting 256k nationwide encounters of illegal aliens is so alarming. Nearly 114k were unlawfully paroled into the US, which is almost 100k more than Feb 2021. These illegal aliens are not in removal proceedings, have no obligation to submit an asylum
DHS Sec destroying credibility by continuing to peddle the false statement that the Biden Admin inherited a broken immigration system that was under strain. It’s clear to reasonable Americans that the Biden Admin broke it, lit it on fire and continues to pour gasoline on it.
Reality check: This will allow illegal aliens caught at the border to bypass an Immigration Judge and go before asylum officers. DHS claims it will alleviate court dockets but in reality more claims will be granted because ICE attorneys who would ask hard questions are removed.
June border numbers are out, and encounters remain at crisis levels under President Biden and VP Harris. This year alone, we have seen over 2.4 million nationwide encounters, eclipsing the number of encounters during the ENTIRE Trump Administration.
It’s important to remember—since Biden took office, DHS has issued 9 National Terrorism Advisory System bulletins, almost exclusively focused on domestic violent extremists, J6, and elections.
They have issued ZERO bulletins about the national security threats along the southern
In the midst of the worst border security crisis ever seen, WaPo decides to do a puff piece on the DHS Secretary. This is exactly how the mainstream media tries to support and prop up the Admin day after day.
May border numbers are out. 241,022 nationwide encounters. They will try to tell you that illegal apprehensions are down, but this is the 3rd highest May on record behind May of 2022 and 2023 under the Biden Admin.
More importantly, what they won’t say is the numbers at ports of
Sorry, DHS did not tear down programs in 2020. We didn’t build temp shelters because we had effective border security policies. They weren’t needed. They reason new facilities are needed now is because they eliminated those policies. This isn’t difficult to understand.
What is needed most right now is leadership. Sadly, it is lacking. Border Patrol agents want to know that their leaders are fighting for them and have solutions to address the illegality, not to simply process more and more migrants.
Kamala Harris’ DNC platform pledges to pass the U.S. Citizenship Act. What is it? The most radical amnesty bill ever written. Amnesty for human traffickers & gang members, no welfare restrictions for migrants, lets deportees return, & worse.
