Washington, D.C. – Biden’s border crisis continues to get worse and there’s no end in sight. But his border crisis wasn’t created overnight. It’s a culmination of failed policy after failed policy mixed with support from Senate Democrats.
Here’s the timeline of failures that got us to this point:
- January 2021: Joe Biden issues a deportation moratorium and ends border wall construction.
- January 2021: Biden signs an Executive Order that reinstates funding for sanctuary cities.

- March 2022: Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security announces a new rule that puts bureaucrats in charge of asylum claims.
- March 2022: Joe Biden announces that he’s ending Title 42 which allowed the government to swiftly turn illegal immigrants away.
- March 2022: 221,000 illegal immigrants are apprehended at the Southern Border. The highest one-month total since Biden took office.
Make no mistake, this timeline of epic failures wouldn’t be possible if Joe Biden didn’t have the full support of Senate Democrats. They blocked common-sense border security measures, voted to end Title 42, and backed Joe Biden’s amnesty and open borders agenda. In a 50-50 Senate, it would only take one Senate Democrat to stand up and say, “enough is enough.”
Unfortunately, Senate Democrats like Mark Kelly, Maggie Hassan, Raphael Warnock, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Michael Bennet have been too cowardly to stand up to Joe Biden. Their cowardice has gotten us to this point, and it’s only going to get worse. They made their bed, now they have to lie in it.
