In a concerning turn of events, the closure of two railway crossings between Mexico and Texas has been announced by Customs and Border Protection due to an alarming increase in smugglers using these trains to transport illegal immigrants into the United States. This comes amidst a growing humanitarian and national security crisis at the southern border, drawing worldwide attention and raising questions about the Biden administration's approach to border control.
Former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, recently expressed his frustration and embarrassment regarding the situation, citing his travels abroad where communist countries, including Vietnam, expressed bewilderment at the United States' inability to secure its own border. Pompeo highlighted the dangers posed by thousands of individuals crossing the border daily, emphasizing the magnitude of the problem in comparison to his home state of Kansas. Additionally, he emphasized that this crisis is not just a national security concern, but a humanitarian one as well, with people from 170 countries, including Mandarin and Farsi-speaking individuals, seeking entry into the U.S.
Pompeo voiced his support for Governor Abbott's efforts to address the issue, remarking on the irony of the Biden administration arguing that border security is a federal responsibility while failing to effectively secure the borders themselves. He expressed concerns about the administration's focus on processing illegal immigrants rather than preventing their entry, a scenario that America has never experienced before. Pompeo called for the administration to take the matter seriously and not dismiss the severity of the situation.

The closure of these railway crossings further compounds the challenges faced by U.S. citizens and visa holders, many of whom are struggling to navigate through bureaucratic hurdles at the State Department. The decision to reduce crossing capacity while simultaneously accommodating illegal crossings has sparked outrage and frustration among individuals seeking assistance and congressmen who have been inundated with pleas for help. The Biden administration's reversal of the successful 'Remain in Mexico' policy implemented during the Trump administration has raised concerns about the preservation of American sovereignty and the prioritization of illegal immigration over the needs of American citizens and businesses.
This recent development, combined with the overwhelming influx of individuals seeking entry into the U.S., has garnered international attention. Observers worldwide are questioning the effectiveness of the Biden administration's approach to border security. Many are astounded that the United States, a nation of unparalleled capabilities, is struggling to prevent illegal border crossings when other countries have successfully taken measures to protect their borders.
As the situation at the southern border continues to escalate, critics argue that the Biden administration must reevaluate its priorities and focus on securing the borders, ensuring the safety of American citizens, and finding a sustainable and compassionate solution to the humanitarian challenges posed by illegal immigration. Failure to do so risks further destabilizing the border region and eroding American credibility on the international stage.
