The City of El Paso, Texas has reached out to the Biden administration to use military bases as a solution for the illegal immigration crisis. This irresponsible and reckless decision is creating a strain on local resources that could have been avoided.
This action needs to be stopped by the Biden administration immediately if we are going to prevent further chaos.
The issue at hand is twofold. First, it is unacceptable that the Biden administration has allowed this illegal immigration crisis to continue and grow unchecked. Their refusal to enforce existing immigration laws is causing chaos and fear in our communities. If they had taken swift action, this situation would not be occurring now.
Second, allowing such a large influx of immigrants into our military bases only makes their task of assimilating into American society more difficult and more dangerous. We must be careful to not create living conditions within these bases that could lead to health problems, crime, or other issues that could arise from overcrowding and lack of access to necessary resources and infrastructure.
We must also consider the implications of not enforcing border security both legally and ethically. Allowing illegal immigrants access without proper vetting puts citizens lives at risk from criminals or terrorists who may try to sneak across the border undetected.
Breaking! Over the weekend, the El Paso Sector experienced a major surge in illegal crossings, with a 3-day average of 2,460 daily encounters, primarily through the downtown area of El Paso. We will continue to keep the public informed as the situation evolves. pic.twitter.com/V2pOO6Y31N

It also sends a message that our borders are open for anyone who wants entry regardless of legal status or proper documentation which will only lead more people trying their luck at crossing illegally with no consequence.
It is time for the Biden administration to put an end to this illegal immigration crisis before it spirals out of control any further. This can only be done through strict enforcement of our border laws, immediate deportation for those found crossing illegally, and creating an orderly process for those seeking asylum or other forms of legal entry into our country instead of creating chaotic situations like what’s happening in El Paso right now.
Anything else is just irresponsible governance that will damage both our nation’s safety and its reputation in the world community.
