I’m genuinely curious about what you believe Biden’s border plan was and by which metrics it could be categorized as having worked?
Biden/Harris lost on the economy but immigration was a close second.
He was in the process of trying to reverse trumps bizarre and ineffective policies and replace them with humane and successful processes. Trump somehow convinced the GOP sycophants to kill further bipartisan policy to finish the job.
Of course, now we have whatever this unAmerican Nazi BS is going on. This is a topic fail that Trump gets to own forever. He will really get to own it in 2026.

And this ICE agent is yet another victim of Biden's border crisis.
This “Bellevue man” is a known Tren de Aragua terrorist who violently attacked federal law enforcement.
During the attack, the illegal alien threw an ICE agent to the ground, slammed her head into the pavement, ripped off her body armor, and made repeated and physical violent contact. The agent sustained serious injuries to her head and arm.
Gabriel Hurtado-Cariaco entered the U.S. illegally in 2023—and Border Patrol removed him. In 2024—under the Biden administration—he re-entered the U.S. illegally and was released into the country with a notice to appear.
The Department of Justice has charged Gabriel Hurtado-Cariaco with attempted murder of a federal officer and assault of a federal officer with infliction of bodily injury.
Science is not built upon anecdotes .
An independent study just found that 90% of their detainees have never committed a violent crime.
So yeah, this is being implemented SO inefficiently that there are thousands of better ways to spend my tax dollars.
The violent/nonviolent distinction is meaningless. Identity theft, distribution of fentanyl, possession of child pornography, and possessing a handgun after a felony conviction are all nonviolent crimes. Do you think those types of criminals shouldn’t be deported?
DP... Studies and FOIAs of ICE's own data show that apart from crossing the border, more than 90% of them didn't commit any kind of crime whatsoever. No criminal history, no prior convictions, nothing.
Why are you trying to falsely smear them with being distributors of fentanyl, child porn et cetera when there's no evidence that most of them have any kind of history doing that?
DP- I would add that the Supreme Court has ruled numerous times that simply being in the country in and of itself was a not a crime.
It's an antiquated law on the books that hasn't been enforced in decades. There are also still prohibition-era laws about alcohol production still on the books that are no longer enforced, should we start enforcing those too?

Biden and his border czar oversaw a 4 year revolving door at the southern border. We’d be a lot safer now if he didn’t intentionally let millions if potential threats walk across the border.
lol, Biden had a border plan, and it worked. We had another border plan and dumbass Don killed it.
This BS is making us less safe every day that it goes on.

Grok re: "sleeper cells": "While the IRGC has been linked to past plots in the U.S., there is no conclusive evidence of active sleeper cells as of June 2025. U.S. authorities remain alert to potential threats, but public discourse, especially on X, often exaggerates risks without substantiation."
Anything is possible, of course, but I just want to remind people that the 9/11 hijackers managed to kill more than 3000 people having entered the US legally on student and tourist visas and residing here a relatively short time before committing their crime.

The second amendment is pretty antiquated, too, and clearly it’s never going to be used for anything positive.
