Todd Bensman, a national security expert, says bringing back strict border policies is the best way to stop illegal immigration. He argues that President Biden’s open-border approach caused chaos. Bensman claims reversing Biden’s rules would fix the crisis fast.
Under Biden, millions crossed the border illegally. Bensman says Biden stopped enforcing laws and let migrants stay forever. This sent a message worldwide that America’s borders were open. He warns this caused crime spikes and strained schools and hospitals.
Bensman praises Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy and border wall plans. Those policies forced migrants to wait outside the U.S. for court dates. He says this cut illegal crossings quickly because migrants knew they couldn’t stay easily. Biden canceled these policies on day one.
The expert points to scary cases like a Venezuelan migrant threatening crimes if ICE didn’t jail him. He says weak enforcement attracts dangerous people. Terrorists and criminals now see the border as easy to cross. Bensman calls this a major safety risk for families.
Biden’s team claims they’re vetting migrants properly. Bensman calls this a lie. He says overwhelmed agents can’t check backgrounds or stop fake stories. Even known terrorists slipped through because guards were too busy handling crowds.
Bensman warns taxpayers pay billions for housing and welfare for illegals. Cities like New York and Denver are broke from shelter costs. He says working-class Americans suffer while their taxes help people who broke the law to get here.
The solution? Bensman says Trump-style toughness works—build the wall, restart “Remain in Mexico,” and deport fast. He believes fear of consequences keeps migrants home. When rules are enforced, fewer come illegally.
Conservatives cheer Bensman’s message as proof Biden ruined the border. They say November’s election is a chance to restore order and safety. Democrats call this fearmongering, but polls show voters trust Republicans more on border security now.
