Biden’s fundamental border failure

“Look, it’s worse now than it, frankly, has been in at least 20 years, if not ever,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas admitted to Border Patrol agents in the Yuma Sector of Arizona earlier this week. “I know the policies of this administration are not particularly popular with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection,” Mayorkas added, all but admitting the chaos on the southern border is his fault. “But that’s the reality.”

The reality is that the southern border is in total chaos. The latest data from the Department of Homeland Security show a record-high 178,840 migrants arrested illegally crossing the border this December, bringing the total for 2021 to a record high of 2,033,863.
