Rewarding migrants for illegally crossing our borders means they will keep coming
Texas | September 23, 2021
Catch-and-release is the single biggest driver of illegal immigration right now. The Del Rio Bridge in Texas spanning the Rio Grande River from Mexico into the United States has become famous overnight. It is the scene of the largest makeshift camp of illegal immigrants and some of the most inhumane conditions imaginable in the history of the U.S. Border Patrol. By now, the world has viewed the constant aerial and ground footage as we all witness the largest single illegal immigration event in our history.
But unless you are on the ground at the bridge every day to personally witness the smell, noise, confusion, pain and suffering it is hard to understand just how bad the situation really is.
One seasoned reporter with war zone reporting experience said the camp was just as bad as anything she had seen overseas. “BUT THIS IS IN AMERICA AND ON U.S. SOIL,” she said in exasperation. It is in America, and it is on the soil of the greatest country and beacon of democracy in the world. Or are we anymore? I would argue we still are, but President Biden and the hard left with their constant attacks on law enforcement and the rule of law are certainly challenging my optimism. In a desperate and pathetic attempt to deflect blame for the raging crisis at our border, which they alone caused, the Biden administration attacked its own Border Patrol agents.
