The Biden administration is facing criticism after “border enforcement” agencies closed the Lukeville, Ariz., crossing in early December. This move has resulted in American citizens having to consider illegally re-entering their own country. It may sound absurd, but it’s true. How did this happen?
Joe Biden wants US citizens to have to sneak into their own country https://t.co/tup9xbk5Ni via @nypost

Our so-called “border enforcement” agencies redirected their agents to deal with the influx of illegal immigrants that Biden and his administration have invited. As a result, anyone trying to legally cross from the Mexican side now has to take a detour and face great hardships. What used to be a quick 30-minute journey has turned into a long and dangerous trek through cartel-controlled territories and poorly maintained desert roads. American citizens trying to return to their own country are now left with two choices: sneak across the border or risk their lives by attempting to follow the law. This situation perfectly captures the Biden administration’s approach: reward the criminals and punish the law-abiding citizens.
But this is just one example of how Biden’s reckless policies have wreaked havoc on the border and beyond. The surge of illegal crossings has reached record levels, pushing border towns to the brink of destruction and burdening cities as far away as New York with deadly fiscal strains. In October alone, there were 240,988 encounters with illegal immigrants, following a high of 269,000 in September. And these staggering numbers don’t even account for the “gotaways,” who are migrants that are spotted but not stopped, or those who manage to evade detection altogether (for a hefty fee, no doubt).
To make matters worse, Biden has completely flipped the concept of border control upside down. Instead of prioritizing the easy entry of citizens and closely regulating non-citizen entry, he has made it difficult for Americans to come back home while welcoming illegal immigrants with open arms.
