The United States’ Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief Alejandro Mayorkas said last week that border crossings were on track to be the highest in 20 years. The open border policy of Joe Biden and the Democrats is to be solely blamed for the unprecedented crisis the country is facing. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has given the charge to Vice President Kamala Harris to save the day for him, or in other words, perform a major coverup, as the illegal immigrants are now being set free on American soil effectively deeming their infiltration attempt as successful.
The number of illegal immigrants arriving on the U.S.’ southern border is rising with each passing day, and the Biden administration, due to lack of infrastructure like temporary housing facilities for such illegal immigrants, is releasing them soon after apprehension. Effectively, hordes of illegal immigrants are being released into the community, without them being issued with Notices to Appear (NTA).
Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV) have begun releasing illegal immigrants, without issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA) – allowing them to depart custody without scheduling a court date for a hearing. According to Fox News, border patrol agents have been ‘directed’ to use prosecutorial discretion (PD) to forgo the hours-long process of paperwork required to issue an NTA amid the surge of migrants at the border. Without the issuance of NTAs to such illegal immigrants, the Biden administration is giving a free pass to them to amalgamate into American society – never to be tracked again.

To think that the illegal immigrants will take it upon themselves to report periodically to authorities in a suo-moto manner would be foolish. The non-issuance of NTAs by border patrol agents to illegal immigrants, at the behest of the Biden administration is a glowing example of how the border crisis has complete gone out of control, and how border authorities are having to resort to risking America’s national security only to satisfy the alleged humanism of the new President.
Mind you, the full extent of the crisis is not fully known, since the Biden administration has put a blanket ban on the media from reporting the happenings from the southern border. The same gagging of the media has been executed citing the flimsy excuses of Covid-19 and privacy concerns. Such is the brazenness of the media blackout in the United States that even liberal media has begun hitting out against their political master for his draconianly totalitarian machinations.
CNN’s Pamela Brown examined the migrant surge and overwhelmed Border Patrol facilities in a segment over the weekend, telling viewers that “as the situation at the US-Mexico border gets worse, the media is being kept from it.” CNN’s Jake Tapper aimed his frustration directly at President Biden. He added, “We saw this rare look inside these facilities since the Biden administration has not granted news media access to the facilities, citing COVID restrictions, despite the president’s promise in his inaugural distress to always level with you…Blocking access to the news media is not levelling with the American people, Mr. President.”White House press secretary Jen Psaki, meanwhile, is facing a daily barrage of pointed questions for the Biden administration’s dictatorial muzzling of the media.

Many have begun comparing the freedom which American media enjoyed under former President Donald Trump to the complete blackout being effectuated now, under a ‘liberal, transparent and humane’ Joe Biden. Needless to say, the Biden administration, by keeping the media away from the southern borders, aims at covering up the full extent of the crisis. Also, allowing the media to report freely from ground zero would expose the Biden administration for its ineptitude, and pulverise the Democrats’ electoral fortunes in the midterms next year.
DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas had recently visited El Paso, Texas in order to review the situation on the border. Again, no media was allowed to accompany him, and no press briefing was scheduled pre or post his visit. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) then blasted the administration, demanding that the Biden team start being transparent. Cruz said he and a team of 15 senators would be coming to the border and that Biden needed to provide answers.
No press. No cameras.
What is Biden hiding?
Next week, I’m bringing 15 senators to the border. DHS said NO to our request to bring media.
Outrageous & unacceptable.
I will continue to fight for press access so every American can see this crisis for themselves! #BorderCrisis https://t.co/mKL58kQsPu

You would have thought that the Biden administration would at least be sharing crucial data and information about the illegal immigrants with states which are at the highest risk of having their security and stability imperilled by the inflow of an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants. However, Texas Governor Greg Abbott told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday that his request to access critical data pertaining to unaccompanied minors was denied despite the White House’s repeated pledge of “transparency.” The governor added that the administration has not only denied access to data pertaining to the health of migrants in his state, but has also refused to share information that will aide law enforcement in arresting and prosecuting migrants that “are still involved with coyotes and smugglers.”
Evidently, the Biden administration has messed up the border crisis, and now has resorted to using all means necessary to ensure that vital information regarding the same is kept away from Americans, hampering directly with the right of free citizens of making fair and informed political and electoral choices in the near future. Make no mistake, these are all early signs of the United States slipping into an autocracy.
