"You're in a war," Trump told those gathered at the current epicenter of US illegal immigration, a town where thousands of illegal border crossings take place every week. "This is a Biden invasion over the last three years."

Biden "has destroyed our country," said Trump before turning startlingly specific.

"Last year, almost half of all ICE arrests were criminal aliens charged for more than 33,000 assaults, 3,000 robberies, 6,900 burglaries, 7,500 weapons crimes — this is all migrant crime — 4,300 sex crimes, 1,600 kidnappings, and 1,700 homicides and murders." Tellingly, the legacy media's numerous "fact-checks" of Trump's speech found no error in these grim statistics.

...Biden had nothing to offer but political finger-pointing, fastening the blame for his administration's immigration crisis on Republicans who opposed full-blown amnesty. "On my first day," Biden said, "I introduced a bill I sent to Congress, a comprehensive plan to fix the broken immigration system and to secure the border, but no action was taken." The bill he sent — the US Citizenship Act of 2021, introduced by disgraced Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) — would have been the largest amnesty bill in US history. Biden explained his bill would have put nearly all illegal immigrants on "a path to citizenship" or legal status within no more than eight years, spent billions in foreign aid to address supposed "root causes" of migration and expanded the visa lottery system. The American people have consistently rejected another amnesty program for two decades.

Biden then hailed a "bipartisan group of senators" on a new Ukraine funding bill, which he claims contains "the toughest set of border security reforms we've ever seen in our country." In reality, the bill would simply supercharge the velocity at which the torrent of alleged "refugees" would be processed — and released — into the United States.

While Biden blamed the GOP (and, implicitly, the American people) for a crisis of his own making, he said nothing about the concrete actions he took that necessitated his PR stop.

How Joe Biden Destroyed US Border Security

Joe Biden has proposed or enacted a panoply of policies opening America's border, and enticing throngs of illegal immigrants to cross the US border even before he took office. During the 2020 Democratic primaries, Biden promised illegal immigrants who could reach our soil would receive health care funded by the US taxpayer. He campaigned on giving illegal immigrants amnesty. He even demanded a border "surge."

"I would in fact make sure that we immediately surge to the border all those people who are seeking asylum," said Biden at a Democratic primary debate. "You should come." In a rare fulfilled political promise, throngs of illegals immediately arrived in Biden campaign t-shirts emblazoned with the message, "Biden please let us in."

Candidate Biden vowed, "There will not be another foot of wall constructed" during his presidency. ...Biden instantly halted construction and welded its gates open, only to modestly reverse himself last October. In the meantime, Biden forced US taxpayers to pay at least $47 million — $130,000 a day — to store the unused parts of the border wall, which he proceeded to auction off for pennies on the dollar.

Biden signed 17 executive orders on his first day in office with a keen eye to opening the US border. He reinstated catch-and-release. Most consequentially, Biden ended Trump's successful Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), conventionally known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy on June 1, 2021. He then suspended Title 42, a Trump-era policy that allows rapid removal of illegal immigrants on the grounds of the COVID-19 pandemic at the same time he claimed the pandemic was still ravaging the US.

Biden effectively ended deportations, even of criminal aliens. In the entire Biden administration through last March, Biden deported less than 6,000 of the more than two million illegal aliens released onto US streets, or just over zero percent, according to the House Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. He further gutted protections last April, reducing the number of questions border enforcement officers may ask illegal immigrants, from 40 to five.

Biden proceeded to order federal agents to cut through barbed wire keeping illegal immigrants out of the southern border and literally sued the state of Texas to stop Governor Greg Abbott (R) from doing ... Biden's job.

The disastrous results of Biden's policies are clear.

How Americans Are Paying for Biden's Border Disaster

A record-breaking numbers of illegal immigrants have crossed the US borders (northern and southern) every year — each year worse than the last. US Customs and Border Protection recorded:

1,956,519 illegal border crossings in fiscal year 2021.

2,766,582 in FY 2022.

3,201,144 in FY 2023.

1,231,213 since last October 1.

When Border Patrol agents add in "gotaways," they safely estimate a total of 10 million illegal border crossings during the Biden administration — more than the population of 41 states. That ignores the fact that Yale University researchers estimated the number of illegal immigrants in the US at 16 to 29 million before Biden took office.

These illegal immigrants were drawn like a magnet by Biden's offers of taxpayer-subsidized benefits and US citizenship for themselves or their "dreamer" children. "We weren't promising free education, free medical, free everything," said Trump on Thursday. "All the promises that are made, no wonder they come." Even if Kamala Harris halfheartedly mouths the words, "Do not come," the Biden-Harris administration has already laid out an enticing welfare welcome mat.

Illegal immigrants now hail from "every single country in the world." Agents report a 5,000% increase in the number of illegal aliens entering the US from China over a three-year period.

Biden's border surge includes a small-but-significant number: Border Patrol agents have encountered 1,557 people on the US terror watchlist (technically, the Terrorist Screening Dataset, or TSDS) since fiscal year 2021. The 59 suspected terrorists caught this fiscal year exceeds the total number than during the entire Trump administration. The number of terror-tied illegal immigrants intercepted during the Biden administration is 10 times higher than the number that used to give Obama-Biden terror official Tim Healy "sleepless nights."

When illegal border-crossers do not commit acts of terrorism, their crime sprees prove just as deadly to native-born Americans. In just the last few days, the category of offenses Trump deemed "Biden migrant crimes" include:

Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, a nursing student whose skull was bashed in by an illegal immigrant.

An 11-year-old girl raped and murdered in Pasadena, Texas.

A two-year-old boy killed in cold blood in Maryland;

Three police officers in Washington, DC, shot by an illegal immigrant from Jamaica.

"Joe Biden will never say Laken Riley's name. We will say it, and we will remember it," said Trump on Thursday. Add the fact that the Biden administration admits it has simply lost 85,000 children, possibly to abusers or traffickers, and it is hardly surprising Trump said, "The blood of countless innocent victims" is on Biden's hands.

Biden's border policies cost Americans their blood and treasure. Illegal immigrants posed a net cost of $150.7 billion to US taxpayers in 2023 alone, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). Leaving aside all other social costs, Biden spent as much money resettling purported "refugees" in his first two years in office as it would have cost to finish the border wall (approximately $20 billion). Biden chose insecurity, murder, and chaos over American lives.

While Biden's border policies literally and figuratively bleed Americans, they have "generated historic profit margins" for the drug-and-human-smuggling cartels. The cartels that control the border earn $32 million a week smuggling illegals across the Del Rio sector of the border alone, the House Judiciary Committee revealed last month. The drug cartels to which Biden ceded authority over the border are now so deeply mired in human trafficking that it has "become central to their business model," according to a report from the House Committee on Homeland Security.

No wonder the president of the Border Patrol union, National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd, said Thursday, "Border Patrol agents are upset that we cannot get the proper policy that is necessary to protect human life, to protect American citizens, to protect the people that are crossing the border illegally. We want to protect them, as well. And we can't do that, because ...Biden's policies continue to invite people to cross here." (Emphasis added.)

Surveying the two speeches, Governor Abbott declared, "Today is a day of an extraordinary contrast." Biden made "an obligatory visit" to "some sanitized location in the Brownsville" area, because "Biden does not care about Texas or the border."

Abbott recited a litany of actions he has taken — from declaring a border invasion, to erecting barbed wire fencing and orange buoys, to busing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, to calling in the Texas National Guard and appointing his own border czar.

In Thursday's speeches, President Donald Trump hailed Abbott as he promised to return to the sanity of defending America's borders, values, and laws. Meanwhile, Joe Biden dodged accountability and promoted policies that would worsen the problem. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
