What would a closed border look like? It might have a completed wall, border patrol sending people right back over the border, and migrant caravans being forced to remain in Mexico after being turned away at America’s southern border. Currently, I don’t see any of those things despite Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas telling migrants not to enter the United States because the border is not open. That’s like putting a bowl of chocolate in front of a two-year old and telling him not to eat it. Good luck.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Fox News<\/a> posted an article about the impact the open border is having on Texas ranchers.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n Two Texas ranchers are sounding the alarm about the impact the border crisis<\/a> has had on them after groups of migrants allegedly walked through and destroyed their property.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Marcus and Stephanie Canales, who live 56 miles from the Laredo border, said they have seen the impact of President Biden\u2019s border policies firsthand.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n “What we\u2019re seeing on our property, we’re getting the bailouts, we’re getting the getaways, the unknowns. We’re also getting all of the foot traffic,” Marcus explained on “Fox News Tonight.” “I mean, just last night we had about three groups of ten plus that moved through anywhere from one in the morning to four. We had some during the day. It’s just non-stop traffic around here.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Stephanie Canales added that they\u2019ve had groups as large as 30 migrants come through their property. “You know, when you’re out in a pasture by yourself, you may have a gun on you, which we do. But, you know, if 30 people approach you, you’re in trouble. And that’s what’s scary,” she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n McEnany asked Stephanie how it feels when she hears White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre say the White House\u2019s border security policies have caused illegal immigration to decrease by 90%<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n “It’s a slap in the face to those of us that live down here because we know that’s not true because we live it every single day,” she responded. “You know, this has taken a huge financial toll on not just us, but all of our neighbors, all of us along the border. And I think a lot of people don’t realize that. And, you know, we are sympathetic to some of those that are coming over here because they say they’re being oppressed or they can’t feed their families in whatever country they’re from. But, you know, there’s a lot of American citizens that also can’t feed their families right now. And I feel like the federal government doesn’t care and they’re not doing anything to help us.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n It is the responsibility of government to protect its citizens and enforce its borders. Obviously, the Biden administration has chosen to ignore that responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What would a closed border look like?
