Marjorie Taylor Greene Highlights Border Security Failures Under Biden Administration

Biden Administration's Immigration Policies

• 🇺🇸 Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene asserts that the Biden Administration facilitated the largest invasion of our country through various policy changes.
• 🚫 These policies included stopping border wall construction, unlawfully granting mass parole, expanding asylum grounds, and implementing Catch and Release.
• 💸 Taxpayers in sanctuary cities are reportedly covering the costs for migrants' stays.

National Security Threats and Screening Failures

• ⚠️ Greene highlights that these actions created the highest national security threat the country has ever faced, citing the impact on Angel families whose loved ones were allegedly murdered by undocumented immigrants.
• 🔍 A 2024 OIG report indicated that CBP could not biometrically confirm the identity of all persons seeking entry at land ports of Entry and lacked consistency in screening vehicle passengers.
• 🚨 In 2022, CBP missed opportunities to verify a match for the terrorist watch list before releasing migrants into the community, even failing to provide requested information to the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center.

Contributing Factors to Failures

• ⚙️ Failures occurred due to weaknesses across DHS, including ineffective practices, poor information sharing within CBP, and staffing constraints.
• 📄 Reliance on paper processes and moving paper files contributed to these vulnerabilities.
• 🚦 Challenges in biometric screening capabilities were noted, with limitations at land border crossing lanes and instances where screening was waived due to high traveler volume to expedite traffic.

Contrasting Administrations

• 📈 Greene contrasts the current situation with the Trump administration, claiming border crossings were reduced from thousands daily to less than 300.
• 🗳️ She attributes the difference to a change in election outcomes and the policies voters chose, emphasizing the promise of border security made by President Trump.
