News on the US southern border is not improving. As we experience a 20-year high in border crossings, Biden and Harris are oblivious – or worse. They have issued new rules reducing immigration law enforcement, arrests, detentions, deportations, “reorienting” ICE personnel, even banning the term “illegal alien.” They show an odd indifference. See, e.g., https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/may/18/harris-ignores-border-crisis-goes-56-days-without-/.
ICE is under intense fire; enforcement actions cut down as never before. Even liberal news outlets record the new reality. “Under new Biden administration rules curtailing immigration enforcement, ICE carried out fewer than 3,000 deportations last month, the lowest level on record,” reported the Washington Post last week, adding “the agency’s 6,000 officers currently average one arrest every two months.” See, https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/ice-street-arrests-immigrants-fall-biden/2021/05/25/58681782-b972-11eb-bb84-6b92dedcd8ed_story.html; see also, https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/05/05/report-monthly-deportations-illegal-aliens-hits-lowest-level-in-history/.
Six consequences are predictable, as Biden abdicates US border protection. Americans should prepare for these events, and in some cases, maybe be swept into them.
First, more illegal aliens, or undocumented foreigners illegally crossing the border, will find their way to the interior. The Biden White House is privately pushing churches and other civic groups – often in hard-hitting letters – to accept them. Local officials are becoming anxious, in some places declaring a local state of emergency. See, e.g., https://www.rt.com/usa/518934-arizona-migrants-bus-emergency/; https://www.immigrationreform.com/2021/05/11/border-crisis-to-continue-into-summer-immigrationreform-com/.
The influx of non-legal, non-English speaking, non-assimilating foreigners will necessarily raise local costs – from social services and education to crime and public health – for an ever-widening number of communities affected.
Making this even worse, Biden-Harris has directed no arrest and deportation for most criminal aliens – unless charged with an aggravated felony, gang membership, or terrorism. The result has been the release and influx of criminal aliens, regularly given a pass. See, e.g., https://www.visiontimes.com/2021/05/06/thousands-of-criminal-illegal-immigrants-flown-into-america-without-covid-testing-no-more-border-wall-funding-biden-dipping-in-polls.html.
Second, since news travels fast – more foreigners from around the world will arrive at the border. Nothing suggests deterrence. Accordingly, the rate of influx can be expected to increase, not decrease. Deterrence is critical. Without it, human traffickers proliferate. The widening cone of nationalities is already occurring. See, https://thepoliticalinsider.com/illegal-immigrants-from-eastern-europe-and-asia-now-coming-across-u-s-southern-border/.
Third, a major states’ rights versus federal rights battle loom. Adversely affected states – on the border and “dump zones” for human deposits – are headed for courts. States assert a right to control their own destiny, demanding federal enforcement of federal laws, while the Biden Administration continues to conveniently look away. See, e.g., https://nypost.com/2021/03/09/arizona-montana-sue-biden-administration-over-border-policies/;https://patriotpost.us/articles/78320-can-states-rights-prevent-federal-immigration-anarchy-2021-03-11.
Fourth, as numbers mount, illegal immigration will become an even bigger political issue – if that is possible – affecting 2022 US House, Senate, and local political races. See, e.g., https://www.foxnews.com/politics/buddy-carter-bill-bar-federal-funds-states-illegal-immigrants; https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-states-ramp-up-legal-battles-against-bidens-immigration-policies.
Fifth, ICE morale – including recruiting and retention – is falling, potentially creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. The agency will shrink, moving the needle closer to a radical Democrat solution, the end of immigration law enforcement. See, e.g., https://cis.org/Arthur/Bidens-ICE-NonEnforcement-Policies-Will-Make-Border-Crisis-Worse; https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dhs-chief-significant-changes-ice-deportations-arrests-plunge.
Already, law enforcement at every level – municipal, State, and Federal – has been vilified to the point where academies are languishing, seats unfilled, recruitment down, retirement up. In some cities, recruitment is down 50 percent. See, e.g., https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/local-police-recruitment-numbers-down-officials-say-due-to-growing-animosity-towards-law-enforcement/ar-BB1gf1JE; https://dailycaller.com/2021/05/19/police-recruitment-down-crime-up/.
Sixth, if the burden of mass illegal immigration continues to weigh on frontline states – overwhelming health, education, and safety resources – expect citizens to get active. If history is any guide, some will get political, and others think self-policing and vigilantism.
Bottom line: The net effect of Biden’s anti-law enforcement – and anti-border protection – policies is predictable, divisive, and troubling. With deterrence down, border states overwhelmed, unannounced illegals, global migration, states and cities frustrated, political races afoot, ICE – and law enforcement – morale low, and self-policing possible, this could be a long, hot summer. Call that consequences seven.

America is being invaded and the military should be on the border to stop the invasion. It is not one or two countries that are invading us but many.
Why are there no cries for impeachment for these inept people. These cretinous bastards did everything in their power to vilify and impeach President Trump on made up lies for his entire term and beyond. It’s absolutely outrageous!
Right on they are all anti American thugs/commies living in the USA . These radicals must go to jail if this nation is to survive. Biden won nothing dog catcher maybe.
I have said from the beginning, why can’t Biden be impeached? I agree with Silver Rascal 1000%. We cannot let Biden/Harris get away with the destruction of the USA. The whole administration in the White House are being ruled by Satan!!!!! Biden and Pelosi are “Catholic” and they should be excommunicated from the church. I am Catholic and appalled at their way of thinking. God help us all!!!!!
As a long standing, hard-working American, Biden/Harris allowing this situation to be worsen by the day makes me ill.
It’s time for armed citizens to man our southern border. It may be time for “WE THE PEOPLE” to forcefully take back our
Government ” BY ANY MEANS NEEDED” !!!!!!
you got that right
Yes Dar, I agree!! I live in southern NM and we have an influx of illegals arriving in our area. And yes, regardless of what Miss Priss Harris says they are ILLEGALS!!!!
chinajoe and cameltoe are delusional, they actually want people trying to escape SOCIALIST OPPRESSION to vote for them and help create a socialist oppressive government here? they are ILLEGALLY USING TAXPAYER MONEY TO FUND ALL THIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, WHEN DO OUR REPRESENTATIVES START REPRESENTING US!!? THESE CRIMINALS SHOULD ALREADY BE IMPEACHED AND IN PRISON!! WHEN DOES JUDICIAL WATCH AND ALL THESE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS START TO DO MORE THAN COLLECT MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY. “TO INVESTIGATE” BUT NEVER “PROSECUTE”, THAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH HAVING LAWYERS AS LAWMAKERS, THEY ALWAYS TWIST THE TRUTH TO FIT THIER AGENDA,
SHAKESPEARE WAS RIGHT, HE WARNED US CENTURIES AGO.
Biden, Harris, et al., are violating their oath of office. Both have proven their incompetence with opening the border and their other mistakes. Illegal alien is a government term, but it seems like those in some kind of power want to soften the names. I saw this firsthand in a previous job. American taxpayers would be appalled how much $ and benefits go to people who will never pledge to our flag, assimilate, or contribute. It’s wrong & illegal to accept people who presume they have the right to cross the border before the people who legally apply for citizenship.
God save & bless our country from Biden, his handlers, Harris who disrespects ICE & police, & the others who care more about their political careers than our country. They are going along with the radicals who are destructive.
The midterm election 2022 & presidential election 2024 can’t come soon enough. I pray American citizens who vote wake up!
I sure hope they wake up or it’s gonna get ugly.
The criminal in the White house wants more criminals in our country! I want 45 back before we lose the country!
It is not truly a matter of indifference. I believe that the events at the border are EXACTLY what the Biden Administration wants. They don’t call the situation a “crisis”, because, to them, it is a desired event. In order to install a Leftwing Fascist government in this country, they must destroy America as we know it. They have been trying to create division in the United States for decades, under the “Divide and Conquer” style. Now, if they can flood the country with illegals, and turn them loose to do whatever they want, the Left can complete the task of undermining ALL of America’s institutions and traditions. Destroy and rebuild in the image they want.
What the Dumbocrats are focused on is VOTES, which equals political POWER.
Exactly! Thats why they stole the election from Trump, he is still my President!!!!
Would not a large invasion of aliens at our border with Our Government permitting such a thing constitute high crimes and misdemeanors? Would not the destruction of key industries be considered high crimes and misdemeanors? Would not allowing antifa and BLM push their marxist agenda Be considered contrary to our Constitution? Would not using a pandemic to further political goals be considered high crimes and misdemeanors?
Our former President was impeached simply because the opposition did not like him. My current thinking is that our current President is giving his opposition cause.
If we had a news media that was not in the bag for one political view this could never happen.
‘Cause’ is worthless without ‘will’. And believe me, the RINOS won’t touch impeachment of Sleepy Joe with a 10 foot pole, no matter what he does or does not do. The GOP is centered on ‘nice’. The Dumbocrats are centered on political power.
rinos are socialists living in “RED” states, they would never get elected if they ran for thier own.party.
I am Christian, a true believer in the ALMIGHTY, HOLY GOD, and then I am a legal patriotic American who believes in the Republic, the order of Law, the Constitution, and the sovereignty of this wonderful, great nation, and I abhor anyone or nation that would do anything to cause the demise, especially from within. The open border is the weakest link in our FREEDOMS. The laws in the USA were meant for legal citizens, not for illegals inside the borders and lawyers who take those cases. They are as un-Constitutional as anyone illegally in the USA seeking legal aide. If you are not a legal citizen you should leave and apply in the legal way as our laws are set up.
# 8. From journalist/opinion commentator Bill O’Reilley. He is promoting his book about the history of organized crime in America. He credibly claims that as a result of the immigration crisis Hmeland Security resources have been diverted and distracted away from narcotics and gun smuggling by “the Mob” and the cartels, a win win for them at the expense of the USA.
To categorize Quid Pro Schmo Joe as a traitor in the White House is a precisely correct picture to paint. The Schmo and all his horrid, Marxist, lowlife water carriers, constitute the second time we have had a seditious/traitorous regime in WashDC since Obama. Obama was the first traitor ever to occupy in the White House. Quid Pro Schmo is the second. And tragically the schmo‘s election to office was bogus, corrupted beyond belief, and Americans have pretty much just sat back and taken this crap. We had better grow a set and turn things around or the ball game, our magnificent experiment, is over. That must not happen, for us, or the world. So GROW A SET and do something every day to challenge the left’s moronic efforts. The left is the enemy. Accept this. Get over it. Do something, every damn day, even if its just a letter to an editor.
I do not believe that the majority of American voters wanted this, and all the other things the dems are doing to hurt this country. This past election was indeed stolen. When will we start fighting fire with fire?
Do you have the firepower to fight fire with fire? If not, better hurry up…
States need to build their own walls and/or DECLARE NO BENEFITS will be given (handouts) to anyone who cannot speak English or prove citizenship. That will aim illegals elsewhere. If enough states make such declarations & PUBLICIZE it, the US won’t look so appealing anymore. The only illegals who would cross then would be those bent on doing us harm (ISIS, etc.).
Never going to happen. But thanks for playing.
If red States do it the blues wont and the illegals will flock there.
We can all just move to the red states then until we get someone in charge of this mess (TRUMP)
Except that many fleeing blue states vote Dumbocrat when they arrive in red states. Arizona being a prime example of same.
Does not matter if the move to red or blue states; they will all be eligible for FEDERAL assistance. Nice try; no cigar.
I think that we should stop funding those criminals in our White House as well
Pat R, your point is well taken. However, I live in California, so if conservative states turn them away they will end up here putting a heavier burden on our welfare system. We are stretched to the limit as it is. Plus I’m guessing many of them will show up with Covid, so that will increase our numbers and we won’t have the privileges we’ve been promised by June 15th. Our liberal govenor will ever turn them away and the rest of us will end up paying for it in ever higher taxes. We need the Feds to enforce the good laws we already have in place, instead of just “looking the other way “. If I look the other way and decide not to follow the laws I have consequences. Why don’t they have consequences too?
Run!!
Because the Dumbocrats are controlled by feelings and the GOP on facts. Can’t mix oil with water.
We have the same problems here in western Oregon. And to add to the mix, we our governor and local Mayor are wishy-washy enough to allow it to happen PLUS look at what they are letting BLM and Antifa get away with. Our town is a disaster politically. financially and physically.
All illegal aliens would be forced to caliPORNia and new yuck, they caused this mess let them deal with it.
It’s just a matter of time before another 9/11 event happens in the US. We don’t even know where alot of the illegals are comming from.They are crossing and going into the interior of our country,no documentation. It’s a sad time in history for the hard working AMERICAN people!
It’s going to be worse than 9/11
Yup; much worse. Prepare NOW.
Drug cartels are expanding influence in the US by sponsoring this invasion. Illegal drugs and crime will increase going forward. Expect the US to be more like Mexico going forward where cartels control many parts of the country and law enforcement is weak. Thanks Biden!
‘Many PARTS of the country’? You know how to spot a cartel bought and paid for Mexican politician? He is alive….
I think we owe a lot of this to Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff…speaking of, where has he gone? Not hearing anything about Schifty Schiff…think he’s gone into hiding and Pelosi and Schumer and the MSM are keeping us busy with the on going crisis in this country. ????
I wonder what the Democrat’s parents, living or dead, think or would think of them for destroying our country. Biden and his cabinet should face the death penalty for treason. They took an oath to protect this country from enemies, foreign and domestic. Illegals are foreign enemies and Biden and his cabinet are domestic enemies.
Not going to happen. But thanks for playing. Now focus your energies into preparing for the second American Revolution, coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
Civil War 2.o, no gas, groceries, amenities, internet, retail stores stocked shelves, 911 responders. It will be the worlds of Madd Maxx beyound thunderdome and the outlaw Josey Wales rolled into 1. Street gangs, rural militias, criminal individuals, and rogue survivalists will be at odds with government forces coping with all of them and then foreign invaders, the military, besides the day laborers before them. A great macho adventure.
No, not a civil war (states vs states). A second American Revolution, pitting citizens against the government.
Is this border crisis and Biden/Harris’s willful negligence a cause for impeachment?
Yes, it is. Will it ever happen? No, it won’t. But thanks for playing. P.S. We are way, way, beyond a political fix for the present ever worsening state of the USA.
Bad thing is getting past the Democrap to do an Impeachment . That’s what happened the day after China Joe was put in office. The Impeachment that the Greene lady tried to do over Hunter , China and China Joe’s take of the money .
Never thought I would say it but I am going to buy a gun.
I already have 2, and have thought about getting another one.
Only 2? You’re behind the curve!
As a firearms instructor, my best advice is to get some good training, both safety and technique, and practice, practice, practice. Ammo is hard to find and afford right now, but there are alternatives. Simulators, dry fire, “air-soft” guns. Even visualization helps.
Welcome! You are late to the party but onboard nevertheless.
Something has to be done!!! How can they do this? They don’t have absolute power yet, do they? What’s it going to take!?
A revolution to take back our republic
WINNER! WINNER! Bingo, buddy!
