Morning Joe admits border as secure as it has ever been

The focus of the 2024 election was, without a doubt, illegal immigration.

Conservative estimates of the Biden administration had more than 10 million crossings.

Now, with Trump in office, the border has effectively been locked down, so much so, even the mainstream media has to admit Trump is doing a great job.

The Biden Years

Numbers are all over the place regarding illegal border crossings and migrants released to the interior during Biden’s time in office.

A reasonable number, and a rather conservative estimate, would be about 10 million.

One of the biggest issues for conservatives during this period was the CBP One app as well as Biden’s mass-parole programs, which allowed more than a million migrants to enter the country who never would have passed through normal asylum claims.

When Trump took office, he vowed to shut that down immediately.

We Got This

After the election results were finalized, Trump’s pick to be border czar, Tom Homan, made it clear that the nonsense at the border was about to come to a screaming halt.

This was about more than just stopping illegal immigration, however. Homan made it clear this was an effort to stop sexual assaults, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.

He stated, “If we don’t secure the border, more migrants are going to die. More women are going to be raped. There’s no downside in securing the border.

“Congress needs to fix this. Immigration enforcement is very controversial, is very emotional. I get it, but we have to secure the border because a secure border is going to save lives.”

As Secure As It’s Been

Joe Scarborough had to admit that the Trump administration has the border on lockdown, stating, “You have, in one instance, a Southern border, which Donald Trump promised he would secure.

“You wouldn’t have the number of migrants crossing every day that you had during the Biden administration. That certainly is the case. I mean, the Southern border is as secure as it’s been in 60 years.”

He then attacked Trump for trying to equal numbers from Biden and Obama in regard to deportations, saying that the administration was going into neighborhoods and ripping people out to hit those numbers, but that is a bit of a twist.

For once, I would love to see the media admit that entering the country illegally is a crime. And when you commit a crime, you are supposed to be held accountable. The way you should hold illegal immigrants accountable is by deporting them. It’s called enforcing the law, and I just don’t understand why that is a bad thing.
