Border Security Under Trump vs. Biden

  • 🇺🇸 Representative Tom Tiffany highlights the stark contrast between border security under the Trump and Biden administrations.
  • 📈 He cites data showing illegal border crossings in February 2024 under Biden at nearly 190,000, compared to just over 8,000 in February 2025 under Trump, a 96% decrease.
  • 🤝 Tiffany credits the Trump administration's policies, such as 'Remain in Mexico' and declaring an emergency, for securing the border.

Critiques of Biden Administration's Border Policy

  • ⚠️ The current situation is described as a "disaster" and an "invasion", which Tiffany asserts was intentional by Democrats.
  • 💔 He laments the entry of individuals who allegedly committed serious crimes, referencing victims like Lake and Riley, Joselyn Nung, and Rachel Moren.
  • 🗣️ The media and Democrats' claims that a new bill was needed to fix the border are called a "lie", with Tiffany stating only a change in presidency was required.

Call for Congressional Action

  • 🏛️ Tiffany emphasizes that while President Trump has restored American strength, Congress must act to codify these gains.
  • 📜 Proposed actions include stopping birthright citizenship, ending 'Catch and Release,' empowering ICE for mass deportations, and preventing parole abuse.
  • 💪 He urges Congress to fulfill its role and avoid future "weak presidents" undoing the progress made.

Personal Experience at the Border

  • 📍 Tiffany recounts his first trip to the southern border in May 2020, led by Rep. Biggs, where he met local officials.
  • 🗣️ Sheriffs like Mark Lamb and Mark Danals reported the border becoming more secure at the end of Trump's term, only to see deterioration a year later due to the change in presidency.
  • 🎤 A recent hearing with a Texas border sheriff and a border patrol union leader confirmed the significant difference, stating it's "night and day" since January 20th.
