Despite Biden’s Rhetoric And Shell Games, 94% Of Americans Say Border Is A ‘Problem’ Or ‘Crisis’

President Joe Biden and the legacy media might be trying to cover up how badly the border truly is, but a recent Gallup poll indicates that 94% of all U.S. adults say that the porous southern border is a “problem” or “crisis,” while only 5% say that it is “not a problem.”

The survey, conducted June 1 – June 22, asked participants “Do you, personally, consider the situation at the U.S. border with Mexico to be — a crisis, a major problem, a minor problem, or not a problem for the U.S.?”

Thirty-nine percent of Americans said it was a “crisis,” 33% said it was a “major problem,” and 22% said it was a “minor problem.”  Only 7% of Democrats say that the border is not a problem.

Under Biden, millions have entered the U.S. country illegally, forcing the administration to change its tactics in how it deals with illegal aliens. However, it seems that the Democrats aren’t interested in stopping these illegal immigrants from entering the country, but making it easier for them.

Amongst its move has been a new “parole” system that allows migrants who would have otherwise been likely to cross the border illegally to enter the country. Under the new system, the only difference between legal and illegal, effectively, is that individuals seeking to enter the country fill out a smartphone app that serves as their asylum paperwork without the need for a visa.

New data suggests that the new system will allow the Biden administration to accept more than half a million asylum seekers per year. During the last two years, the administration has already allowed at least 541,000 migrants into the country through the parole authority, Daily Wire reporter Mairead Elordi wrote on Thursday.

The Biden administration has said this new method will provide “order” at the border. Yet, as previously observed, the problem is that the Left’s definition of “order” simply means that illegal aliens are “processed” by immigration officials and then released into the country via new “legal” measures — such as the smartphone app. “Order” to the Democrats does not mean having the necessary physical barriers or manpower necessary at the U.S.-Mexican border to deter entry. Nor does it include enforcing policies that effectively prevent illegal immigrants from entering the nation in the first place.

Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Wire that this new system allows the Biden administration to conceal the number of individuals entering the country.

“The administration is using a shell game and sending people through ports of entry instead of between ports of entry, and then declaring that an improvement on the border,” Ries said.

She also pointed out that the number of individuals is just as high — which means that America is still allowing thousands of individuals each month from all around the globe to enter the country.

Comer Expects To Recommend Up To 10 Criminal Referrals Against Hunter Biden

House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said on Thursday that he anticipates recommending up to 10 criminal referrals against Hunter Biden, including charges related to prostitution and his overseas business deals. 

Comer said during an interview with Fox Business that his committee could file between “six to 10” criminal referrals against Hunter, including for violations of the Mann Act and the Foreign Agents Registration Act. 

“He violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He was money laundering. He was racketeering. He committed wire fraud. He violated the Mann Act. The list goes on and on and on,” Comer said during the interview. “But yet he gets a slap on the wrist and the Democrats want to talk about, ‘Oh, the two-tier system of justice is racist in America.’ Well, Hunter Biden is the ultimate white privilege guy here.”

The Mann Act prohibits the interstate transportation of women or girls for prostitution.

“The Democrats kept saying, ‘Oh, we don’t have any evidence. You don’t have any evidence.’ Well, [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene] showed them evidence,” Comer said. “She showed them evidence of the president’s son committing a crime, violating the Mann Act. She showed the plane tickets, she showed the pictures, she showed the evidence. You know, there’s no question he violated it. That’s another thing that he could have been charged with.”

Comer also commented on the release by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) of a form from an FBI confidential human source (CHS) alleging that they were told by Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky that he was forced by the Biden family to pay a $10 million bribe in exchange for pressuring the Ukrainian government to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma.

“The evidence here is pretty overwhelming that Joe Biden did something for the CEO of Burisma. And what the form also says is that investigators would have a hard time – it would take them 10 years to determine how they got the money because of the way they transferred the money through so many different bank accounts,” he said. 

Comer has been leading an investigation into the Biden family over their business dealings and alleged influence peddling abroad. In another interview this week, the Kentucky Republican said that congressional investigators have obtained financial records that will allegedly show transactions from Russia to the Biden family.
