Former DHS Secretary Chad Wolf Discusses Ongoing Crisis At Border

United States Border Patrol agents patrol the border in El Centro, California

Former acting DHS secretary Chad Wolf expressed his concerns about the ongoing crisis at the southern border, emphasizing the tragic deaths of National Guardsmen and a Border Patrol agent. He highlighted the critical role of flights in border operations and the challenges of patrolling such a vast border.

Wolf pointed out that with the approaching spring season, illegal apprehensions are expected to surge due to the lack of effective deterrence policies in place. He criticized the focus on terminology, stating that the term 'illegal alien' is a legal term defined in the U.S. Code and used by the Supreme Court.

Regarding President Biden's walkback on terminology, Wolf stressed the need to prioritize addressing the border crisis over semantics. He noted that migrants, cartels, and smugglers closely monitor U.S. policies and exploit the asylum system under the current administration.

In conclusion, Wolf underscored the importance of implementing effective border policies to deter illegal crossings and prevent further escalation of the crisis at the southern border.
