Ex-Border Chief: Joe Biden Intentionally 'Handed over Southern Border to Cartels’
'The American people aren’t buying it, I think the polls reflect it'

Former Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan accused President Joe Biden of intentionally creating a crisis along the southern border.
Morgan told Just The News that the Biden administration is “ignoring” the border crisis.
“They’re pretending it doesn’t exist,” Morgan said, adding:
“But the American people aren’t buying it, I think the polls reflect it.”
Morgan said that Biden has “completely trashed” the Remain in Mexico policy, referring to the Trump administration policy that had asylum seekers wait on the Mexican side of the U.S. southern border while their cases were adjudicated.
Last year, the Supreme Court declined to stay a lower court order that the Biden administration restart the Remain in Mexico policy.

Biden is “just giving lip service” to the policy, Morgan said.
The administration is “just absolutely defying the court order right now,” he continued.
“Give you an example: In the month of December, while 178,000 illegal aliens broken into our country."
"In one month, in 30 days — in that same 30-day period, the Biden administration enrolled about 260 migrants in the Remain in Mexico program.”
“It’s having no effect, they’re not taking it seriously. And let’s keep in mind, the [Homeland Security] secretary [Alejandro Mayorkas] — as he’s doing his just-shut-up-and-take-it tour to the agents out there — he’s been very clear that he’s also actively trying to end the program.”
The morale of Border Patrol agents is “devastated,” Morgan said.
“The reason why they still get up, put that badge on their chest, is because they are heroes, and they’re doing it to try to do everything they can to still safeguard this country,” he said.

“But look, make no mistake, they feel now that they’re nothing more than a travel agency — Uber drivers, a taxi cab service.”
“And the reality is, it’s true."
"This administration has intentionally and willfully turned over, handed over our southern border to the cartels."
"And they’ve taken away every one of the vast set of tools, authorities that they had under President Trump to do their job, to secure a border and safeguard the country.”
He also noted the FBI’s counterterrorism mission has “been made exponentially more difficult because of the open border policy of this administration.”
Border Patrol “has apprehended illegal aliens from 150 different countries — including, China, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Russia, the list goes on and on,” he said.
“They absolutely have expanded our national security vulnerability directly due to their open border policy.”
Last year, former President Donald Trump’s former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Joe Biden is giving a “green light” to child and sex trafficking.
As Neon Nettle reported:
Tom Homan told Mark Levin on “Life, Liberty & Levin” that “children are going to die” because of Biden.” Less than three percent of all Central Americans who get ordered removed by a federal judge have left this country,” Homan said.
“Mark, we have a president that is facilitating illegal immigration on the border because there is no consequence, there’s no deterrence when you open the gates, let them in, and release them knowing they’re never going to leave,” the former ICE acting director said.
