Videos Reveal Extent of Illegal Immigrants Surging Across the Border with Biden’s CBP One Mobile App to Help Them Cross

RAV correspondent Ben Bergquam

Journalist Ben Bergquam of Real America’s Voice (RAV) took a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border recently, where he documented the surge in illegal immigrants coming across the border into the U.S. using the Biden administration’s CBP One mobile app. The app assists them with crossing the border illegally, allowing them to make appointments so a bus will drive them across instead of sneaking across, and they can then choose where they want to fly to within the U.S. 

During an interview with War Room’s Steve Bannon, Bergquam summarized the process. “There’s this entire operation — I call it the illegal alien industrial complex — where you’ve got our politicians working with United Nations, and all these NGOs working directly with the cartels in some cases, and often cases, especially in places like this — cartel-controlled territories of Mexico — working directly with them on who to send where, when to send them. So CBP One is used as a distraction. You take Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection resources off the border to process these guys, so then they can traffic all these other guys that are riding on the beast that are coming through all these other parts of the border.”

Biden Oversaw Largest Immigration Surge in U.S. History, Data Shows

Illegal Immigrants

President Joe Biden oversaw the highest level of net migration in United States history, underlining how severe the border crisis became during his tenure in the White House.

The migrant surge experienced in the past few years surpassed even the great immigration booms of the 1800s and early 1900s, according to The New York Times analysis of border data. Annual net migration, which is the sum of individuals who enter the U.S. subtracted by the number of people who leave, averaged about 2.4 million from 2021 to 2023 — resulting in net migration that is likely to surpass eight million people during the Biden administration.

Canada and Trump

The Canadian government made clear its beefing up its border security apparatus after President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose sweeping tariffs against Canada and Mexico if the flow of illegal immigration and drugs are not reined in.

Trump in November announced on social media that he would impose a 25% tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico unless both countries do more to limit the level of illicit drugs and illegal immigration entering into the United States. In response, Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with the president-elect at his residence in Mar-a-Largo and his government has detailed what more it’s doing to bolster immigration enforcement.

President-Elect Trump Brings Deportation Chiefs into White House, Away from Entrenched Agencies

President-elect Donald Trump’s nods for immigration and border-related posts appear to suggest he plans to keep the major-decision making on those issues within the White House rather than in offices of executive branch agencies filled with career government employees. Trump has vowed to pursue the mass deportation of illegal aliens from the country, beginning on his first day. He has cited President Dwight Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback” as precedent for such an undertaking.

How FEMA Got into the Illegal Immigrant Business, and Who Is Covering It Up

In the midst of the last major budget crisis in Washington, Democrats diverted money and the legal authority to put the nation’s disaster relief agency into the business of caring for the millions of illegal immigrants who crossed the border on the Biden-Harris administration’s watch.

Commentary: The Corrupt Economics of Immigration

The common refrain among supporters of the Democratic Party’s open borders policy is that immigration helps the economy. A very recent example of this was published in MSNBC Daily last month, where the author, David Bier of the Cato Institute, claims that “The Congressional Budget Office finds that the surge will boost the economy by $7 trillion and reduce the federal debt by nearly $1 trillion by 2034.” That’s actually an unimpressive statistic since the cumulative GDP of the United States over the next decade will easily exceed $300 trillion, but Bier is probably not wrong in his assertion that immigration increases GDP.

Commentary: The Real Reason Democrats Fear Losing in November

Donald Trump

Democrats understand that once you’re atop a tiger, you can’t get off. They understand that because they’re living it via their prolonged lawfare campaign against Trump. By pulling out all the stops to stop him, they have raised November’s stakes — and the possibility that their misuse of government offices for political purposes will be investigated — beyond those of a normal presidential election.

How worried Democrats are about losing this November’s presidential election is clear from the unprecedented actions they have taken to win. Going back to last year, they unleashed four legal cases against Donald Trump in separate states. When these did not derail him with the public (his support grew), they turned against their candidate and forced their duly elected nominee out of the race against his will.

Since Kamala Harris unseated President Joe Biden to become the Democratic presidential nominee, her campaign has spent the last few weeks trying to distance herself from the failed policies of the current administration where she holds the title of vice president and was dubbed “Border Czar.”

Despite being part of the administration responsible for an unprecedented 10 million (and counting) encounters of illegal aliens at our borders and at least 2 million “gotaways” who evaded the Border Patrol, our televisions have been bombarded for weeks with ads claiming that a President Harris will be tough on the border.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is attempting to cast her as a tough-on-the-border candidate, but a former leader of the Border Patrol is warning the public not to buy it.

The Harris campaign has released a slate of advertisements that claim the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate would “fix the border” and crack down on illegal immigration by increasing the number of Border Patrol agents. However, retired Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott, who led the agency while Harris served as “border czar,” says voters must look at her record to understand how she would really handle border security.

The fact that the Republican National Committee invited Teamsters President Sean O’Brien to speak at their convention last week, and the fact that he showed up and delivered an impassioned address to a mostly supportive audience, is yet another example of a historic political realignment.

O’Brien’s presence at the convention was his acknowledgement that support for Donald Trump is higher among union households than among the general public.

Illegal Immigration Under Biden Has Contributed to Housing Shortage, Experts Say

Illegal Immigrants

The surge of illegal immigration under President Joe Biden has exacerbated an already costly housing market for average Americans by worsening a shelter shortage, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The U.S. currently has an estimated shortage of 4 million to 7 million homes as developers struggle to keep up with demand amid harsh financial conditions and burdensome regulatory processes, according to Pew Charitable Trusts. Average Americans looking for a home are being squeezed by rising housing costs due to inflation and elevated mortgage rates, but the recent influx of illegal immigrants is putting even more stress on the system by aggravating the current shortage of supply in the housing market at a rate that developers can’t keep up with, according to experts who spoke to the DCNF.
