| RIGHTLY <br> INFORMEDIllegal Immigration Is a Bigger Problem Than Ever. | |
In the past 60 days, the number of illegal aliens entering our country exceeds the entire population of Wyoming. Analysts say the immigration crisis will only continue to get worse.
| Alternate Destinations: In recent years, there's been a notable shift in migration routes, with Texas emerging as a key destination for those seeking entry into the United States. Texas's strategic location, close proximity to Central and South America, and convenience for those aiming to reach the East Coast swiftly have made it increasingly appealing. However, a significant factor contributing to this change is the perceived impact of the Biden administration's immigration policies. Some migrants openly cite President Biden's more lenient approach as a reason for their decision to journey to the United States.
Historically, Border Patrol resources were concentrated in states like Arizona and California, primarily focused on addressing the flow of Mexican migrants. Despite the agency's efforts to redistribute personnel to adapt to shifting migration patterns, resourceful smugglers often target areas with limited U.S. authorities' capacity to detain individuals effectively.
| Deportation is getting hard: Handling a significant influx of illegal border crossings becomes more challenging when the deportation process encounters obstacles. Historically, the ease of deporting migrants from Mexico has been facilitated by the strong and long-standing relationship between the United States and its southern neighbor. However, in recent years, a substantial number of individuals have been arriving from countries with strained diplomatic ties, making the deportation process considerably more difficult or, in some cases, impossible. For example, since 2022, over 715,000 Cubans and Venezuelans have illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, seeking refuge from political oppression and economic hardships. While both Venezuela and Cuba have recently shown a willingness to begin accepting deportees after years of reluctance, the impact of this policy change on deterring migration remains uncertain. | Is Biden Racist?: During the 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden was a vocal critic of Donald Trump's immigration policies, particularly denouncing the construction of the border wall as "racist" and a symbol of division. However, since taking office, President Biden has faced significant challenges on the immigration front. His administration's more lenient approach has led to a surge in undocumented border crossings, overwhelming resources and border patrol agents. In response to this escalating situation, President Biden's Department of Homeland Security authorized the waiver of certain laws to facilitate the construction of additional miles of border wall in Texas.
This policy shift underscores what many Americans perceive as a glaring double standard in politics. While labeling Trump's border wall as "racist" was a prevalent narrative, the situation has taken a different turn under a Democratic administration. It seems that what was once criticized as racist is now being portrayed as common-sense policy. From a practical standpoint, I appreciate President Biden's commitment to border security through wall construction. However, I hope Trump and the Republican Party spend millions on ads showing his hypocrisy. |
