Full Report:
Conservative political commentator Mercedes Schlapp sharply criticized the Biden administration for its failure to secure America’s southern border, pointing to the massive surge of over 10 million illegal immigrants during Biden’s tenure.
Schlapp argued that the administration's abandonment of key border security measures, including halting construction of the border wall and reversing Trump-era immigration policies, has led to a full-scale crisis.
“It is shameful that the Biden administration abandoned the border,” Schlapp said, highlighting the dangers that come with an open and unsecure border.
The staggering number of illegal crossings has exacerbated concerns about national security, economic strain, and rising crime in border states and beyond. Schlapp emphasized that Biden’s refusal to reinstate strong border measures has emboldened drug cartels, human traffickers, and other criminal enterprises.
Under President Trump, construction of the border wall was a cornerstone of his administration’s immigration policy. By halting that effort, Schlapp argued, the Biden administration not only ignored a proven solution but also signaled to illegal immigrants that the U.S. no longer prioritized border enforcement.
The surge of illegal immigration has been widely reported, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data showing unprecedented levels of border crossings in the past three years.
Republican leaders and conservative commentators, including Schlapp, have called for immediate reinstatement of Trump-era policies to restore order at the southern border.
Schlapp’s criticism reflects growing frustration among conservatives who view Biden’s border policies as a deliberate abdication of responsibility.
Schlapp’s remarks align with broader Republican demands for the Biden administration to take immediate action and optimism for a safer America associated with the incoming Trump administration.
