Episode Description
Under President Joe Biden, the southern border has seen an unprecedented surge in unauthorized entries. In his first year alone, the U.S. Border Patrol encountered over 1.6 million migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border—more than four times the previous year’s figures and the highest annual total ever recorded.
This immigration catastrophe has sparked fierce debate, with Democrats downplaying the threat and Republicans, particularly those on the fringes, overplaying it. But beyond the staggering numbers, the U.S. faces severe risks from these enormous waves of illegal migrants, including transnational criminals, potential terrorists, and immense strain on resources.
To understand the origins and consequences of Biden’s disastrous border policy, I sat down with Todd Bensman, Senior National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.
