64 Times the Biden Administration Intentionally Undermined Border Security Tweet Share
Press Releases
January 9, 2024
WASHINGTON — Last week, in a weak attempt to shift blame for a crisis their own policies created,
the White House clumsily tried claim that House Republicans had an “anti-border security record” by
voting to “eliminate over 2,000 border patrol agents and erode our capacity to seize fentanyl.”
These claims were demonstrably untrue, previously disproven, and underscored the Biden
Administration’s failure to secure our southern border, marked by record high crossings in December
and widespread national recognition that the situation at our border is a crisis.
“Since his first day in office, President Biden and his administration have worked to systematically
undermine America’s border security,” Speaker Johnson said. “On more than 60 occasions, he has
manipulated the federal bureaucracy to open our borders to illegal immigrants, human trafficking,
fentanyl, and potential terrorists. The result is a humanitarian and national security catastrophe.
The President must use his executive authority to repair what he has broken. I am calling on him to
do so. “
Below are 64 instances of the Biden Administration undermining border security policy and
encouraging illegal immigration. Click here to download this document with source links and
corresponding data on encounters, number of children smuggled, and fentanyl seized.
Jan 20, 2021: President Biden terminated the National Emergency at the Southwest border
(Proclamation 9844), thereby halting emergency construction of a border wall.
Jan 20, 2021: President Biden issued an Executive Order (EO) further entrenching the unlawful
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. With his action, President Biden directed the
Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, “to preserve and fortify
DACA”, signaling to illegal aliens that his Administration supports amnesty and that illegal aliens
need not fear coming to the U.S. or worry about immigration enforcement.
Jan 20, 2021: President Biden unveiled the U.S. Citizenship Act, which would provide amnesty to
millions of illegal aliens in the U.S., demonstrating intent to reward illegal border crossers with
a path to citizenship.
Jan 20, 2021: President Biden revoked Trump-era Executive Order that was designed to ensure
there was meaningful enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.
Jan 20, 2021: The Administration issued an Executive action ending limitations and restrictions
against immigration from certain countries associated with terrorism.
Jan 20, 2021: The Biden Administration announced a 100-day moratorium on deportations and
immigration enforcement, effectively providing amnesty to criminal and other removable aliens and
sending the signal the Biden Administration would not enforce the law. The Administration also
announced interim immigration enforcement guidelines that signaled to illegal aliens that they do
not have to worry about the possibility of deportation.
Feb 1, 2021: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) implemented Acting Secretary Pekoske’s
policy requiring a new “process [that] shall provide for assessments of alternatives to removal
including, but not limited to, staying or reopening cases, alternative forms of detention, custodial
detention, whether to grant temporary deferred action, or other appropriate action.”
Feb 2, 2021: President Biden issued Executive Order (EO) 14010 and began processing asylum
claims at the border. In the EO, the President also signaled an end to the Migrant Protection
Protocols (which is known as “Remain in Mexico” or “MPP”) while making other statements signaling an
open border.
Feb 6, 2021: Secretary of State Antony Blinken suspended, and began termination procedures, for
the Trump Administration’s Asylum Cooperative Agreements with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
These agreements ensured aliens seeking asylum could do so in countries closer to their home country
and in countries other than the United States.
Feb 2021: The Biden Administration voluntarily stopped applying Title 42 expulsions to children
across the board, setting off a major wave of unaccompanied alien children, family units, and
illegal aliens generally heading to the U.S. border.
Feb 17, 2021: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) exempted unaccompanied alien
children (UAC) from Title 42 expulsion requirements, thereby encouraging UACs to come to the U.S.
and parents to pay cartels to smuggle their children to the U.S. border.
Feb 25, 2021: The Biden Administration sped up releases of UACs.
Mar 2, 2021: According to news reports, the Biden Administration lost track of 20,000
unaccompanied alien children and President Biden was briefed on the need to expand detention to hold
an additional 20,000 children who had illegally crossed the border.
Mar 5, 2021: Faced with overwhelming numbers of UACs in federal custody, the CDC ignored its
normal facilities guidance regarding COVID-19 and notifies “facilities caring for migrant children
that they can open back up to pre-Covid-19 levels, acknowledging ‘extraordinary circumstances.’”
Mar 10, 2021: Biden Administration announced reinstatement of the Central American Minors (CAM)
program, an Obama-era parole program that allowed citizens and aliens—including illegal aliens—to
bypass the family-based immigration laws adopted by Congress and sponsor family members El Salvador,
Guatemala, and Honduras to come to the United States.
Mar 16, 2021: DHS Secretary Mayorkas delivered remarks effectively explaining the border is open
for illegal immigration by stating DHS’s focus would be on “processing” illegal aliens—in other
words catch-and-release and the creation of new “lawful pathways.”
Mar 20, 2021: DHS began issuing illegal alien border crossers a Notice to Report (NTR) to U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as opposed to the standard Notice to Appear (NTA) in U.S.
immigration court. The NTR policy allows illegal aliens to simply be released into the U.S. and
relies on them to self-report to ICE at a later date.
Mar 30, 2021: Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) took drastic actions to expand detention
space to house unaccompanied alien children in so-called “Influx Care Facilities”, often using
unlicensed facilities that lacked child welfare experience. In March, April, and May of 2021, ORR
expanded capacity to house another 23,849, including 10,000 at Fort Bliss. DHS was also holding
children for a longer period than allowed by law (between 30 and 40 days) and, because the flow of
UACs across the border outpaced Health and Human Services’ (HHS) ability to vet adults who can care
for the children.
Mar 31, 2021: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement
(ORR) issued guidance rolling back requirements for background checks on adults in the household of
a UAC sponsor.
Apr 30, 2021: The Biden Administration canceled further wall construction which was being led by
the Department of Defense (DOD).
June 15, 2021: The Biden Administration announced expansion of the Central American Minors (CAM)
program to broaden the list of illegal aliens who can sponsor family members through the program,
including illegal aliens who claim asylum.
June 16, 2021: Attorney General Merrick Garland rescinded the Trump-era decision In Matter of
L-E-A-, thereby expanding asylum eligibility to allow nuclear or immediate familial relationships to
be treated as a “particular social group.”
June 16, 2021: Attorney General Merrick Garland rescinded the Trump-era decision in Matter of
A-B I and A-B II, thereby expanding asylum eligibility to include gender and domestic relationships
as certain social groups, reverting to policy under in Matter of A-R-C-G.
July 2021: The United States Border Patrol (USBP or BP) released at least 50,000 aliens without
giving them a “Notice to Appear” (a court date), instead advising them to self-report to ICE on
their own. Unsurprisingly, 87% of aliens fail to report.
Aug 5, 2021: The USBP authorized the use of parole plus alternatives to detention (ATD) in the
Del Rio Border Sector.
Aug 17, 2021: DHS announced an expansion of alternatives to detention (effectively reinstating
and expanding catch and release) and announced the expansion of taxpayer-funded services to illegal
aliens in removal proceedings.
Aug 31, 2021: The Biden administration released over 100,000 aliens into the United States
between March 21, 2021 and August 31, 2021, without giving these aliens a “Notice to Appear”,
instead advising them to self-report to ICE on their own. Of those, nearly 50% of them did not
check-in with ICE within the 60-day deadline.
Sep 24, 2021: The Administration falsely accused Border Patrol agents on horseback in Del Rio,
Texas of whipping aliens at the border. President Biden condemned the agents, saying the aliens had
been “strapped” and vowed “consequences.” Vice President Harris piled on the false allegations,
comparing them to oppression and slavery. In fact, DHS Secretary Mayorkas knew the claim was false
and even though the agents were exonerated in July 2022, the Administration proposed punishment for
the agents.
Sep 30, 2021: DHS Secretary Mayorkas issued a memorandum that states “the fact an individual is
a removeable [alien] should [not be the sole] basis of an enforcement action”, effectively using
prosecutorial discretion to give deportable aliens a pass to stay in the United States, thereby
granting a form of amnesty to many illegal aliens.
Fiscal Year 2021: Throughout Fiscal Year 2021, the Biden Administration distributed more than
$300 million in federal law enforcement grants to Sanctuary Cities under SCAAP, Byrne, and COPS
programs (amounting to 43% of total awards going to sanctuary cities), financially rewarding cities
whose policies encourage illegal immigration.
Oct 8, 2021: DHS canceled another group of border wall contracts led by DHS related to the
Laredo and Rio Grande Valley Border Sectors.
Oct 12, 2021: DHS effectively suspended large-scale worksite enforcement, a key tool to deter
the hiring and employment of illegal aliens.
Oct 27, 2021: DHS Secretary Mayorkas issued a memorandum prohibiting enforcement of immigration
laws in certain areas including schools, healthcare facilities, recreational areas, social service
and emergency facilities, ceremonial locations (such as funerals and civil ceremonies) as well as at
demonstrations and rallies.
Oct 29, 2021: DHS Secretary Mayorkas terminated the Migrant Protection Protocols (known as “MPP”
or “Remain in Mexico”).
Nov 2021: The Biden Administration formally created a program that included alternatives to
detention (ATD) plus parole, resulting in “catch and release” for hundreds of thousands of aliens
into the U.S. interior after they were encountered at the border (338,000 aliens were released in
Fiscal Year 2022 alone) under this program.
Dec 17, 2021: Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) repurposed three detention centers
previously used for family detention, thus encouraging greater illegal immigration of family units.
Jan 2022: Between July 2021 and January 2022, the United States admitted more than 79,000 Afghan
evacuees as part of Operation Allies Welcome after the Biden State Department and Department of
Defense botched the nation’s withdraw from Afghanistan. The DHS OIG determined that DHS failed to
fully vet the evacuees. Failure to vet refugees, signaled that the Administration might also apply
lax vetting to asylum seekers, further encouraging asylum abuse.
Apr 1, 2022: The Biden Administration announced intent to end Title 42. Federal District Court
Judge from Louisiana temporarily blocks the action.
Apr 3, 2022: ICE Principal Legal Advisor issued memorandum promoting termination of cases in
immigration court and directing ICE Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA) trial attorneys to
comb through their cases to determine whether aliens would be considered a “priority” for removal
under the Biden “enforcement priorities.”
Sep 9, 2022: The Biden Administration reversed Trump-era public charge rule, allowing aliens who
are likely to become a burden to taxpayers to receive immigration benefits – such as a visa,
admission, or adjustment of status.
Oct 31, 2022: DHS finalized a rule to “fortify DACA”, which declares DACA recipients as
“lawfully present” and grants them employment documents despite ongoing litigation.
Dec 13, 2022: The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the State of Arizona in order to force
Arizona to remove shipping containers placed to close gaps in the border wall.
Jan 2023: CBP changed CBP One app to allow border crossers to schedule online appointments,
expanding the number of aliens allowed into the United States.
Jan 6, 2023: The Biden Administration began abusing statutory parole authority under INA
212(d)(5) by creating a categorical parole program for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and
Venezuela. Parole was intended by Congress to be used sparingly and only on a “case by case” basis,
yet DHS continues to create and administer categorical parole programs to allow hundreds of
thousands of illegal aliens to classes of aliens.
Feb 25, 2023: The New York Times reported data showing the Biden Department of HHS has lost
track of 85,000 alien children over the prior two years. NYT exposes details of minor children
working in factories in the United States.
Mar 2023: ICE continued to ignore the need for deportations, allowing criminal aliens to stay in
the U.S. ICE’s non-detained docket grew to an estimated 5.3 million aliens, including 407,983
criminal aliens. Meanwhile, ICE arrests in Fiscal Year 2022 fell by 69% compared to Fiscal Year 2018
and arrests of convicted criminals fell 65% (to 36,322 in Fiscal Year 2022 from 105,140 in Fiscal
Year 2018).
Mar 25, 2023: Despite record numbers of illegal aliens arriving at the southern border, the
Biden Administration proposed cutting detention beds by 25 percent as part of its Fiscal Year 2024
budget request.
Mar 28, 2023: DHS Inspector General (IG), citing lax oversight, issued a report that identified
misuse and fraud of federal emergency funds, resulting in up to $110 million in funds appropriated
in the American Rescue Plan and other legislation being awarded to pay for services to illegal
aliens and not Americans suffering due to COVID.
Apr 13, 2023: The Biden Administration announced DACA recipients would be eligible for Obamacare
benefits and Medicaid, giving taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal aliens.
Apr 27, 2023: The State Department and DHS announced plans to end Title 42, expand CBP One app,
and create additional unlawful categorical parole programs for aliens from El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras and Colombia. The program violates the law and allows aliens to enter before they receive a
green card and without a visa.
Apr 30, 2023: The Biden Administration circulated guidance that waters down the vetting process
for Chinese illegal aliens, requiring that interviews used to question a Chinese illegal alien
consist of five basic questions. The media reported that Chinese illegal aliens “quickly adapted” to
the new CBP guidelines and were “coached” to give “stories that are identical.”
May 5, 2023: CBP expanded appointment capability of the CBP One App. Through Nov. 2023, nearly
360,000 appointments had been scheduled on the app (43,000 in November alone). The CBP One app
continues to be vulnerable to exploitation by the cartels.
May 11, 2023: The Biden Administration terminated use of Title 42 policy expulsion authority.
May 31, 2023: The Biden Administration ended the DNA testing program used to verify that adults
who crossed the border with a child and claimed to be related to that child, are in fact related.
Ending the program promotes not only illegal immigration, but also child exploitation and
trafficking.
July 7, 2023: The Biden Administration expanded unlawful parole programs to include individuals
from Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
July 24, 2023: The Biden Department of Justice sued the State of Texas to remove newly placed
floating barriers in the Rio Grande River.
Aug 10, 2023: The Biden Administration Office of Management and Budget requested nearly $14
billion in emergency funding that perpetuates the Biden Administration’s open borders policies. For
example, $600 million was requested for FEMA’s Shelter and Services program, which provided airfare
and hotels to illegal aliens. This is on top of the $363.8 spent by the program in Fiscal Year 2023.
Aug 29, 2023: ICE scrambled after releasing into the U.S. more than a dozen Uzbek nationals with
ties to an ISIS smuggler.
Aug 2023: DHS rebranded “Alternatives to Detention” as “Release and Reporting Management,”
effectively using ICE to provide social services to aliens instead of allowing ICE to function as a
law enforcement agency.
Sep 8, 2023: The Biden Administration promulgated a proposed rule to reverse Trump-era policy
and allow Immigration Judges to administratively close or dismiss removal proceedings without any
action (something not allowed by statute), resulting in no decision denying asylum.
Oct 4, 2023: The Biden Administration issued new rules on UACs that fails to prevent the release
of illegal alien children to strangers, fails to facilitate age determinations, and fails to collect
immigration information on sponsors. All of this will encourage trafficking of children, including
by the cartels.
Dec 21, 2023: Biden Administration announced the creation of a new “juvenile” docket within
immigration courts which is so expansive, it gives specialized treatment to 18, 19, and 20 year-old
illegal aliens who should be deported through the expedited removal process.
Dec 28, 2023: Following a trip to Mexico by Secretary of State Blinken and DHS Secretary
Mayorkas, the Mexican government reported that their discussions focused on “regularizing” status –
i.e., amnesty – for “Hispanic migrants who have been undocumented… and DACA beneficiaries.”
Jan 3, 2024: The Biden Administration sued the State of Texas for enforcing a recently enacted
Texas state law that allow Texas judges and magistrates to order illegal aliens to return to the
foreign nation from which they entered.
