Today, if a migrant wants to enter the United States illegally, they pay a cartel to cross through the Rio Grande into the U.S. and then seek out the Border Patrol to claim asylum. Because of the Biden administration’s policies and existing loopholes in our laws, they know they will almost certainly be released and likely never removed.

Allowing “asylum” to be the exception that swallows the rule of border security has caused a catastrophic deluge of our border from around the world. Since President Joe Biden took office, we’ve encountered over 2.7 million illegal migrants at our southern border, over 234,000 in April alone. Ergo, Customs and Border Protection agents are processing migrants, leaving stretches of the southern border wide open for exploitation by cartels and traffickers.
