In the coming days, Americans will be flooded with images of migrants stranded at the border and understandably sad stories of people who crossed the continent senselessly because former President Joe Biden lied and believed him. Probably.
In fact, it has already begun. By Tuesday, just one day after President Trump took the oath of office in the hallowed halls of Congress, the immigration app CBP One had been shut down, leaving thousands of people stranded at the border.
5 things to remember about immigration and border security in 2025
Liberal media will try to portray this as President Donald Trump being inhumane and indifferent to the suffering of immigrants, but the reality is that the Biden administration has invented an asylum program that is easily reversible. Without it, there would be no immigration at all.
“I was lucky. I got an appointment,” one asylum seeker told CNN. “So we bought bus tickets and got permission to move around Mexico. We sacrificed a lot and did everything legally.”

And they thought they did all this legally. The problem is that Joe Biden was the president, not Congress. He may have had the power to ignore immigration laws and open the floodgates on the Rio Grande, but he had no way of perpetuating his unfortunate policy.
Don’t get me wrong: Biden and the cabal of henchmen who lied about his abilities will aggressively close the border if Donald Trump wins the 2024 election, leaving thousands of people in immigration stalemate. It means that he was well aware that he would be pushed into the situation.

Mr. Biden’s lax border policies, which border on insanity in and of themselves, have become an electromagnet for immigrants. All Donald Trump is doing is weakening his government at the behest of the millions of voters who sent him back to the White House to do just that.
Americans sympathize with the stranded migrants who bought into Biden’s lie that the border would be open forever, but not just in major cities like Boston and Chicago, but also in small towns like Springfield. I have no intention of accepting the status quo that is suffocating me. , OH.
No one can look at the suffering of mothers and children caused by Biden’s lies and not feel pity and guilt. But nations need borders, and Biden’s disregard for our borders is why this suffering is occurring.
Now, gangs from foreign countries like Venezuela are importing toren de Aragua and terrorizing American cities from coast to coast, selling fentanyl to children and guns to each other. Even when they are arrested, they find fertile recruiting ground in prisons.
Bidenville tent cities still dot our nation’s landscape. New York’s Roosevelt Hotel is a hundred-year-old landmark, but it’s now in disrepair, serving as a de facto, failing Ellis Island.
Presumably, Biden and his band of progressive leaders won’t trigger border closures as Trump and the Republicans, who now control Congress, will politely but firmly say to thousands of people seeking entry. Maybe he thought he wouldn’t say no.
But that’s exactly what Donald Trump is doing, and that’s exactly what he was elected to do. If Democrats wanted some kind of durable solution to the border crisis, they could have come up with it while in power. Instead, they opted for stimulus packages that hurt the economy.

Difficult choices are called difficult choices because they are difficult. No one can look at the suffering of mothers and children caused by Biden’s lies and not feel pity and guilt. But nations need borders, and Biden’s disregard for our borders is why this suffering is happening.
Over the next month or two, these sad stories will be spread far and wide. The message is that Trump and the Republican Party are heartless, uncaring monsters.
But if the past is prologue, something else will soon happen. As word spreads that the borders are closed, would-be migrants will know not to undertake the dangerous journey. Because every dead end ends with a solemn stop sign.
Once the border is secure, and only after the border is secure, we can go back to having classy discussions about how many immigrants we should let in, who they should be, where they should come from, and all the rest. That is, until a border emergency occurred. Biden’s claims will be quashed, but we can’t do anything about that.

This time, pictures of crying Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez crying at the border and fabricated stories of children in cages won’t work.
This is not an easy choice, but Americans voted for Trump primarily because they understand that Biden’s disorganized open border policies are actually more destructive than kind. It is from. After all, as Donald Trump himself might say, “We have no choice.”
