As border deaths continue to rise under Biden’s policies, the U.S.-Mexico border chaos has reached a critical point, particularly in the El Paso Sector. This marks a grim milestone in the Biden border crisis. The desert has become a relentless battleground, where migrants perish in their pursuit of a better life, battling extreme heat and dehydration. This crisis is not just a statistic but a harrowing tale of human suffering that underscores the urgent need for immediate action. With Border Patrol rescue efforts stretched to their limits and the Santa Teresa Station tragedy highlighting the perilous journey many undertake, the escalating number of heat and dehydration deaths paints a stark picture of the crisis at hand. The situation demands immediate attention and action.

This article will delve into the grim reality of the situation, exploring the human toll and the failed policies that have led to this unprecedented catastrophe. Through an examination of the record-breaking fatalities, the direct accountability of current administration policies will be scrutinized, alongside the pervasive media bias that often overlooks the scale of the disaster. By amplifying the voices of those on the front lines, like El Paso Sector Chief Anthony Good, and highlighting the unyielding efforts of Border Patrol agents, we will shine a light on the desperate need for a course correction. The article calls on patriots to stand unified in the face of this tragedy, demanding more robust border security and substantive immigration reform to prevent further loss of life and uphold the sanctity of our borders. The need for policy changes is urgent, and the time to act is now. We must demand a change in approach to the border crisis, one that prioritizes human lives and safety.

The Grim Reality

The grim reality of the border crisis is a harrowing tale of human suffering, marked by record-breaking fatalities and the unforgiving conditions migrants face in their perilous journey.

Current Statistics

The alarming numbers paint a stark picture: 138 deaths have already occurred this year in the El Paso Sector alone, putting it on pace to surpass last year’s record of 149 fatalities. The discovery of three more bodies by agents from the Santa Teresa Station serves as a grim reminder of the escalating tragedy unfolding at the border.

Heat and Dehydration

The extreme conditions migrants face are a significant contributor to the crisis. With temperatures regularly exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the desert has become a deadly gauntlet, claiming lives through heat and dehydration [5]. El Paso Sector Chief Anthony Good has reported a concerning increase in heat and dehydration injuries, underscoring the situation’s urgency. His firsthand accounts and those of his agents on the ground provide a chilling glimpse into the harsh realities migrants endure in their quest for a better life.

The Human Toll

Personal Stories

Since February, Carlo, a Brazilian asylum seeker, has lived with his two children at El Buen Samaritano shelter in Juárez. He is considering sending his daughters across the U.S.-Mexico border alone, so they’re no longer “stuck in captivity.” Levis, a Honduran asylum seeker whose hearing was rescheduled for April 2021, has also contemplated crossing the border illegally, saying, “I’m not going to lie [6]. I’ve thought about trying to cross another way.”

The desperation faced by migrants is palpable. Cesar, who fled from Nicaragua with his wife and then-8-year-old son, Donovan, struggles to explain their situation to his child. “I don’t understand this ‘migrant protection,’” he said, sitting at the Pan de Vida migrant shelter. “What is the protection we have? They send you onto the street as if you were trash, an empty milk carton. Even children, they throw out children with their mothers.” Cinthia, an asylum seeker from Honduras who has been at the shelter for over a year with her 6-year-old, shares a similar sentiment: “My son asks, ‘Why are we here? Why can’t we go home?’” These personal stories, which could be those of your neighbors or friends, highlight the human toll of the crisis, making it clear that these are not just numbers but real people suffering.

Rescue Efforts

As migrants face harrowing conditions and desperation, the U.S. Border Patrol agents in the El Paso Sector are working tirelessly to rescue those in need. According to Border Patrol statistics, the El Paso Sector has rescued over 290 migrants in the fiscal year 2024.

Chief Anthony Good has highlighted the collaboration with Air and Marine Operations (AMO) and the challenges agents face. “Ruthless criminal smugglers continue to recklessly endanger the lives of vulnerable migrants who do not understand the dangers of illegally crossing the border and are often coerced into these unpredictable canals,” he stated [7]. The Border Patrol has warned people of the dangers of the canals along the border as “large volumes of water” are released from New Mexico, with smugglers often asking migrants to jump into the water to avoid apprehension or detection, resulting in injuries or death.

Failed Policies and Accountability

President Biden is the first to ever un-secure a border on purpose [8]. The current administration’s failure to enforce and uphold the laws as written by Congress are not just matters of legal debate but have led to unimaginable suffering and death for Americans and migrants alike. The Biden Administration has waged war against the immigration system of the United States, with a direct correlation between their policies and the exploding number of encounters, known and unknown getaways, and backlogs at both USCIS and the immigration courts. These failed policies and their impact underscore the urgent need for a change in approach.

Blame the Administration:

President Biden and his Administration have refused to take any responsibility for a catastrophe they created. President Biden signed over 90 executive orders the first few days in office, abolishing all the proven effective policies based on numbers. In stark contrast to the previous administration’s use of effective programs like the Remain in Mexico policy and asylum cooperative agreements, the Biden Administration circumvented lawful pathways, claiming there needed to be more time to negotiate such alternatives despite inheriting a well-functioning system.

This administration’s reckless dismantling of border security measures has directly fueled the crisis, tripling total enforcement actions from 646,000 in FY20 to a staggering 3.2 million in FY23. This overwhelming surge has crippled the Border Patrol, forcing up to 100% of agents off patrol duties to process the influx, leaving hundreds of miles of border unguarded. Fiscal Year 2022 set records for arrests of illegal border crossers, migrant deaths, narcotics seized, and even suspected terrorists arrested – a catastrophic failure that this administration must address to protect the American people.

Historical Comparisons:

While past administrations have grappled with border challenges, the scale of the current crisis is unprecedented [9]. The Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy, though controversial, pales in comparison to the Biden administration’s practical endorsement of illegal border crossings through its policies. 3 4 Even the family separations under Trump, though inhumane, did not approach the staggering death toll and human suffering resulting from the Biden administration’s open-border stance. 3

The Biden White House’s actions starkly contrast with its promise of a more “humane” approach, instead creating a humanitarian disaster of historic proportions. This crisis demands immediate course correction through substantive policy changes that prioritize national security, uphold the rule of law, and prevent further loss of innocent lives at the border.

Media Bias and Public Awareness

The mainstream media has consistently downplayed the severity of the border crisis, painting a misleading, alarmist view for the average American. Publications like The New York Times, National Public Radio, and CNN have twisted the narrative, leaving out essential truths and failing to inform their audiences about the U.S. government’s significant responsibility for the surge in migrants. Though not necessarily sinister, their distortions have dangerously compounded the crisis by failing to hold those in power accountable.

Expose Media Bias:

While the mainstream media continues to turn a blind eye, we stand as the authentic voice of the American people, dedicated to exposing the harsh realities that others refuse to cover [10]. From the harrowing discoveries of deceased migrants in the El Paso Sector to the relentless efforts of our brave Border Patrol agents, we deliver the raw, unvarnished truth that the establishment media ignores.

Our platform is a beacon of hope for those who believe in the rule of law and preserving our nation’s values. We refuse to whitewash the catastrophic consequences of failed policies or downplay the real human toll of illegal immigration. As the chaos and danger unfold at the U.S.-Mexico border, we hold those in power accountable for their reckless actions, demanding solutions that prioritize national security and the well-being of our citizens.

Rhetorical Questions:

How many more lives must be lost in the unforgiving desert before our leaders wake up and take decisive action? How many more families must be torn apart by the consequences of open borders and lax immigration policies? The American people have spoken, with a sizable majority (78%) recognizing the situation at the border as a crisis or a significant problem that demands immediate attention.

Yet, the government’s response has been woefully inadequate, with a staggering 80% of Americans believing it is doing a lousy job in addressing the migrant influx. Even among Democrats, 73% have expressed dissatisfaction with the administration’s handling of the crisis, the highest share recorded during Biden’s presidency.

The absurdity of the current situation is evident. While our brave Border Patrol agents risk their lives to rescue those in peril, the architects of these failed policies remain insulated from the consequences of their actions. How many more tragedies must unfold before our leaders prioritize the safety and security of the American people over political expediency?
