Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tried to convince Americans that there is no crisis at the southern border.
“The men and women of the Department of Homeland Security are working around the clock seven days a week to ensure that we do not have a crisis at the border that we manage the challenge as acute as the challenge is,” he said.
But, that certainly is not the case. In fact, the crisis is exponentially worse than anyone thought and it seems that Mayorkas is avoiding the truth.
Here’s why.
According to former Obama administration officials, the standard number for a border crisis was 1,000 crossings a day.
Ironically enough, the individuals that set that standard were none other than Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas, then deputy secretary of Homeland Security.
When Trump left office, the U.S. was deporting more people than were coming into the country illegally, the Daily Signal reports. But, under Biden, the number of people illegally coming into the country is more than 6,000 per day.
That is six times more than the level set by Obama’s team to signify a crisis.

According to a knowledgeable source, in one day, Border Patrol encountered 4,700 illegal immigrants trying to enter the U.S. About another 900 were observed but not detained. Another 400 were detained and sent back, according to the Daily Signal.
The crisis at the border comes smack in the middle of the ongoing global pandemic. A Department of Homeland Security source estimates that 15 to 25 percent of illegal immigrants crossing the border are COVID-19 positive.
Indeed, as Human Events reported, 108 COVID-positive illegal immigrants were released into Texas over the last month, with no enforced quarantine only recommended.
Despite what they tell the American public, it is evident that under the Biden administration, there is an active crisis at the border. Hundreds of thousands of potentially infected illegal immigrants are coming into our country, putting citizens at risk. The Biden administration needs to step up and tell the truth, before it’s too late.

Had Joe agreed to the mental fitness test before the election this could all have been avoided. We will probably get our next real Presidential Press conference in the year 2024, and hopefully our next real Self-governing President.
Just why are we importing foreign labor, while our own people are locked down? Why allow in more unvetted COVID infected foreigners when Hundreds of billions are now spent to eradicate it? The insanity of this misadministration is evident to even the lowest common denominator of an American voter,,,proof positive this election was stolen, along with all the troops now needed in the Capitol to keep the traitors in office.
There IS something going on here besides having a lying incompetent corrupt administration doing everything they can to wipe out the MIDDLE Class.
Why are they importing foreigners, while keeping US locked down?? CAUSE THEY SPIT over citizens, that’s why.
Though one thing i would LOVE TO SEE an actual reporter ask.. WHO THE HELL IS Paying for all those illegals, wearing those “BIDEN, LET US IN” shirts?!
Kamala Harris will be sworn into the office on April 1st 2021.
I’d vote you up another star but your comments was depressing.
I doubt if senile Joe’s failing a mental fitness test would’ve made any difference. First of all, THE ENTIRE DUMMYCRAT PARTY IS MEANTALLY UNFIT! Senile Joe fits right it and the REAL dummycrat voters know senile Joe is just a worthless pile of manure taking up space and air. Senile Joe didn’t win the election by his real voters, he stole it with his fake voters.
Mentally, morally and literally unfit.
What is it going to take to prove to the U.S. citizens that the Democrat party does NOT serve the citizens. The Democrat Part elite serve Themselves and their own self-serving objectives.
The Democrat Party is systematically destroying our country in order for the
Socialist Democrat Party dictators
to take complete control of our country and our citizens.
The soon to be vice president Nazi Nancy Pelosi has stated her objectives.
The “Socialist Democrat Party State” political officers and Gestapo are just getting started.
You will obey, be loyal and support the “Socialist Democrat Party State” or you will be classified as
“Enemies of the State”.
Those who forget the past, are condemned to repeat it. 🙁 🙁 🙁
IMO nothing. THEY ARE TOO Demented to ever wake the hell up…
“Socialist Democrat Party State”
The Dazi Party.
Exactly Scruffy! Bingo!!!
Why is it so difficult for the American citizens to see that liberalism is destroying this country?
Because for far too long, they’ve been BRAINWASHED, to believe “Diversity is our greatest strength”.
IMO its our BIGGEST destroyer of our society.
Joe sure picked the wrong day to quit smoking . . . to give up drinking . . .to quit sniffing glue . . .
Biden has allowed COVID-positive Illegals to be released into Texas while insulting Gov. Abbott for opening up his state.
We are in grave danger.
Yep Joe, we have to “follow the science” and release illegal aliens into our Country, who are covid positive, while the American citizen and businesses are in lockdown. Joe, why don’t you hold a news conference and tell every American citizen to line up , so you can spit on us? That is what you think of the American citizen, right Joe? All to get illegal aliens to vote for you and for the cheap labor the illegals bring, to undercut the American citizen, who wants a good paying job.
These low life scum sucking demonrats will destroy this country…….they have crawled from the depths of the filthiest cesspool and have risen to the top of the alter of death with the help of cowardly breastfeeding voters of blue state feeding trough……almost everyone gets a check from the government
almost everyone gets a check from the government ————————– That is ONE of the problems
AND that’s why they are PUSHING THIS>. THey couldn’t destroy the nation, under obama, so are RAMPING it up, under biden.
There’s a new Sheriff in town. And the criminals are his number 1 (millions) fan.
Look, the democrats knew well before the election that Biden was NOT FIT to be President. In my opinion he was NEVER FIT to be President! They did know that those other Radical Potential Candidates would never be elected so Joe was the best of the worst! Why they picked Harris is anyone’s guess!
They have perpetrated the Greatest Hoax on the American people since Obama!
So now we know WHO the Dummy is in the White House but we must know who are the Ventriloquists.
The Supreme Court could have adjudicated all the Voter Fraud Cases before Biden was sworn in but did not! Can anyone name ONE Branch or Department of this government that is NOT CORRUPT?
We are now stuck with a Mentally Bankrupt President and a Morally Bankrupt Liar as Vice President. What go possibility go wrong?
AND a feckless useless justice system..
“Why they picked Harris is anyone’s guess!”
She has a Victim Intersectionality Card. Female, Brown, Morally Free…..
The reason being when they decide that enough time has passed to provide some semblance of propriety Biden will get the bum’s rush and she will be in….Just like that.
She is more Left Looney than Biden and will no doubt “get things done”.
Can somebody please do an investigation on who’s paying and supplying these T-shirts?
That will go along ways to help identify who’s organizing these migrations.
It looks like Joe Biden has incited an invasion by foreign nationals. Doesn’t that put the 13-15 dead in the SUV crash on HIS side of the ledger? Kids in cages, again…China virus, illegal, SUPER SPREADERS welcomed.
NOT my president!! I’m determined to respect this “presidency” just as much as Democrat leaders and the media respected the previous.
Why make laws when they can just be ignored by Executive Orders. It looks like we don’t need elected people to make laws when the Opposition can just trample on them like what the Left is doing now. Why have a government at all when the so-called elected officials are rampantly breaking them? So evil, so corrupt and hypocritical.
AND when court after court, REFUSES to do their damn job, WHY EVEN BOTHER HAVING JUDGES!
