This is one of the best pieces I've come across describing the changes in Federal immigration policy over the last year.
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
When I was president, I delivered on my promise to build a border wall to protect our country. All Joe Biden had to do was paint it.
Instead, Biden has enacted the most radical open borders agenda imaginable. This is perhaps the first time in world history a nation has purposely and systematically dismantled its own defenses to invite millions of foreign migrants to enter its territory and break its laws.
No one knows who they are, presenting a dangerous threat to Americans. To say that Biden has provoked a national security disaster does not even begin to do justice to the calamity. In May, illegal border crossings were nearly 700% higher than when I was president during the same period last year. For each of the last three months, more unaccompanied minors have arrived than in any prior month in recorded history. Seizures of ultra-lethal fentanyl are up 265% from last year — more of the drug has already been intercepted than in the entirety of 2020.
Joe Biden has restored catch-and-release, torn up our hard-earned asylum agreements with Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, and announced that anyone on the planet who lives in a crime-afflicted area now qualifies for asylum in the United States. Meanwhile, ICE is effectively shut down, senior border security officials have been fired, and criminals are being released in record numbers. To top it all off, the Biden administration has announced a new program whereby the U.S. government will literally pay to fly illegal aliens’ relatives from other countries to join them in the United States.
These policies are utterly depraved — the actions of someone who by all indications wants to completely abolish America’s southern border.
Yet of all the vindictive, shocking, and self-defeating border security actions Joe Biden has taken, none surpasses his decision to stop the final completion of the wall.
Nearly 740 miles of border wall had been fully funded and more than 660 miles were already built or undergoing construction, Customs and Border Protection confirmed on January 15, five days before I left office. After more than two years of litigation and Democrat obstruction, the wall was going up at an average rate of two miles per day. We had already more than doubled the length of the physical barrier protecting our southern border. We had also replaced much of the previously existing dilapidated fencing with new impenetrable metal beams, focusing on the highest traffic areas that border patrol agents themselves had identified.
The wall was planned, approved, paid for, and virtually done. Only a few key areas remained to be completed. All Joe Biden had to do was let the contractors finish their work. The border agents wanted it, and it would make the whole country safer.
Instead, Biden sabotaged the completion of the wall, ordered an immediate halt to construction on his first day in office, impounded the funds Congress had appropriated and took steps to terminate the National Emergency declaration that had facilitated it.
By stopping construction, Joe Biden purposely and deliberately left gaps in the wall, creating unsealed channels right in the middle of the border to be exploited by human traffickers and drug smugglers. I built a wall — Biden built a humanitarian catastrophe.
This decision has also done egregious harm to our sovereignty. As my administration clearly demonstrated, walls work. After my border wall was constructed, illegal border crossings dropped by 90 percent in the Yuma area and 80 percent in the Rio Grande Valley, and parts of El Paso. Illegal drug trafficking and human smuggling also drastically decreased in those areas. Building just 12 miles of border wall in San Diego alone reduced necessary border patrol manpower by 150 agents a day, saving millions of taxpayer dollars, and freeing up those agents to provide additional border security elsewhere.
As a result of Biden’s abdication of his sworn duties, Texas now says they will “build the wall.” This should not be necessary and is at best a band-aid over the gaping wound Biden created.
Border security is a core responsibility of the federal government — and my administration had already done everything required to complete the project. We secured the necessary legal authorities, acquired the land, designed, engineered, and tested the wall. With little help from Congress, my administration obtained the money, executed the contracts, and hired the personnel. For Texas to be unnecessarily forced to repeat these complicated steps will take months or years if it is even possible for them to do it at all.
Governors and state legislatures should certainly do what they can — but there is no substitute for federal action.
We handed Biden the most secure border in history. We ended asylum fraud, terminated catch and release, negotiated historic migration agreements with Mexico and other countries, and virtually stopped illegal immigration. Precisely because of these policies, we achieved an incredible 90% reduction in illegal crossings.
Our nation is being destroyed by Biden’s border crisis. The United States must immediately restore the entire set of border security and immigration enforcement measures we put into place — and critically, we must finish the wall.
A nation without borders is not a nation at all. For the sake of our country, Joe Biden must finish sealing the border immediately, or the American People must elect a Congress that will.

SAY IT AIN'T SO JOE!
'President Joe Biden’s deputies invited representatives of illegal migrants to the Independence Day celebration at the White House, marking another effort to blur critical distinctions between Americans and foreigners."
And guess who was there? Casa of Maryland with some non-English speaking but clearly "essential workers" in tow. I guessing Casa used the free box lunch bus ride to the White House to entice these border jumpers to attend. The illegal alien heavy United Farm Workers Union was also in attendance.
I wonder if the firework explosions and smoke scared the PTSD ridden illegals as it may have caused flashbacks of their former lives south of the border?

EVENT OF INTEREST - Monday July 12
This is NOT a Help Save Maryland Sponsored Event - However because the topic of Illegal Immigration and Sanctuary in Maryland will be discussed, it is posted as an FYI.
"MONDAYS WITH MOCO SPEAKERS SERIES"
JULY TOPIC: “THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY – WHAT REALLY HAPPENED DURING THE 2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION IN ANNAPOLIS”
MONDAY JULY 12, 2021, 7:30PM - ZOOM SEMINAR! SPEAKERS:
STATE SENATOR MICHAEL HOUGH (R-FREDERICK & CARROLL COUNTIES)
Senator Michael Hough represents Maryland Legislative District 4 (Frederick & Carroll Counties). In 2010, Michael was elected state delegate and named Maryland House Assistant Minority Leader in 2014. Later in 2014, he was elected Maryland State Senator. He serves on the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee and chaired Maryland’s Justice Reinvestment Supervision Subcommittee and the Criminal Gangs Task Force. In 2020, Michael was elected Senate Minority Whip, the #2 leadership position in the MD Senate GOP Caucus.
Michael has consistently voted to strengthen public safety and strongly supports Sheriff Jenkin’s 287(g) program to remove illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in Frederick County. Note: Michael is scheduled to kickoff his campaign for Frederick County Executive later this month.
STATE DELEGATE LAUREN ARIKAN – DEPUTY MINORITY WHIP (R-BALTIMORE & HARFORD COUNTIES
Delegate Lauren Arikan represents Maryland’s 7th District (Baltimore & Harford Counties). Lauren is a member of the House of Delegates since 2019 and was elected Deputy Minority Whip in the same year. She serves on the Judiciary Committee since 2019 (juvenile law subcommittee, 2019-20; criminal law & procedure subcommittee, 2019-; public safety subcommittee, 2021-). President-elect, Women Legislators of Maryland, 2021- (member, 2019-; secretary, 2019; 2nd vice-president, 2019-20; 1st vice-president, 2020-21).
Lauren understands that there is a need to have more conservative voices in Annapolis fighting for our values. She is Pro-Life, Pro-2nd Amendment and Pro-Business/Cut Taxes, while strongly opposing illegal immigration and Maryland as a Sanctuary State.
Tonight’s Topic: Seems like the 2021 Maryland 90-day legislative session went by in a flash. While most Marylanders were “locked up” at home, and businesses and organizations were mostly shutdown from doing normal day to day activities (compared to Florida), our legislators worked in overdrive to submit and “debate” legislation at near record pace. Over 2,300 bills were introduced by a mere 47 Senators and 141 Delegates, more than 12 bills per legislator. All while the Public was banned from the legislative buildings in Annapolis!
Expanded “Voting Rights”, Dignity Not “Illegal Alien” Detention, “Wuhan Virus” Health Protocols, Police Officer Accountability, Public Transit, Climate “Solutions”, and even the State Song, “Maryland, My Maryland”, nothing was safe.
Please join us by Zoom Seminar (register at www.mcgop.com/events) for this important discussion of “the Good, the Bad and the Ugly” of the 2021 General Assembly and Prospects for 2022.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A HELP SAVE MARYLAND SPONSORED EVENT

Supreme Court Continues to Eat Away at So-Called "Rights" of Illegal Aliens
Once again the Supreme Court makes a decision to tighten the rules on illegal aliens who have been deported but managed to sneak back into our country. The illegal alien support groups believe that these special illegals should be allowed out on bail while awaiting their court case on their new "withholding of removal" request.
In a 6-3 vote, the Court ruled that these jokers have already defied the law by returning to the U.S. Now caught by law enforcement yet again, justice is best served having them sit in jail so they wont disappear before their new case is completed. Makes sense, and easier to deport these criminals a second time as they are already in custody.

"1.3 Million Waiting For Courts' Deportation Decisions - Average Case Pending For 3 Years"
This is incredible and clearly a strategy of the Biden Regime. Open the border floodgates and allow illegals to overrun the immigration court system. From a backlog of 700,000 cases a few years ago to 1.3 million today and rising fast. Puts more pressure on speeding up court cases and providing amnesty and a pathway to citizenship. Also provides the Dems with more voters and states with more reasons to beg for federal dollars to provide healthcare, welfare and housing for these non-English speaking, unhealthy, uneducated masses. Because the illegals are hiding in plain sight waiting for their court cases, they take over service sector jobs (very few illegals pick fruit and vegetables) that were formerly occupied by unskilled, low educated Blacks and Whites.

What You Can Do? Report to Help Save Maryland (HSM)
Keep tabs on recent arrivals of illegal aliens to your community. Report to HSM the numbers of arrivals, location, group(s) supporting the housing of illegals.
Report increased numbers of students being entered into the Maryland Public School System who require ESOL and other non-citizen needed support programs (linguistic experts, tutors, psychological counseling, vaccinations, etc.). Also report if any current programs and services in the schools are being cut to free up resources for the incoming illegals.
Detail any MS-13 and other Hispanic gang activities and violence impacting your neighborhood. With more foot soldiers arriving daily, local gang leaders need to keep them busy.
MORE STATES STEP UP TO SUPPORT TEXAS AND U.S. BORDER - Hispanic Illegal Alien Support Group Complains About This "Insurrection"
Governors from multiple states have publicly announced they are stepping up to support Texas and the American People by providing law enforcement officers to help stop the flood of illegal alien criminals crossing the border. These states include Nebraska, Idaho, Florida, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Ohio, Iowa and Arkansas. Meanwhile Texas Governor Abbott continues his push to fund and build the Border Wall started by President Trump and stopped by the Biden Regime.
Illegal alien supporters are getting nervous. One major Hispanic group, the League of United Latin American "Citizens" (LULAC) is demanding Biden stop these states from supporting Texas as this is "an insurrection by recalcitrant and rebellious states". Governor Abbott is "fomenting dangerous racial hatred targeting Latinos".
Ok, but LULAC has no problem with the ongoing insurrection by recalcitrant and rebellious cites and counties that declared themselves Sanctuary for Illegal Aliens, denying any assistance to federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
This was followed by a wonderful quote by the less then educated LULAC official (who probably makes a six figure salary), "We are being invaded by governors of the defeated Confederacy to arm the border against brown women and children escaping political persecution, hunger and death". The usual bad English now followed by bad History as Ohio, North Dakota & South Dakota (Dakota Territory) , Nebraska Territory, Iowa, and the other western territories (not yet states), were NOT part of the Confederacy. Yikes!
