On direct orders from President Joe Biden, the Department of Homeland Security released 79,652 migrants into the United States last month after they were detained for illegally crossing the southern border. This brings the total number of illegal immigrants caught and released into the U.S. on Biden’s watch to 1,335,959.
That is a population larger than nine states and twice that of the District of Columbia.
At this pace, Biden will catch and release over 3.5 million illegal immigrants into the U.S. in his first term — a population larger than that of Chicago.
The border communities of the Rio Grande Valley have cried out to Biden and Democrats in Congress for help. Not only has Biden refused to listen, but he hasn’t even bothered to visit the border to witness the crisis that his policies have created. He would rather ignore the problem, and he hopes voters do as well.
Unfortunately for Biden, more and more cities are discovering that every community is a border community when immigration laws go unenforced. On Face the Nation this Sunday, District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser complained that too many migrants were being bused from the southern border and filling up homeless shelters in D.C.
