On a dark night in south Texas, I encountered something I will never forget.
I was a young Army specialist who volunteered to deploy to the border with JTF6, a counter-narcotics joint task force. That night, we encountered a group that had crossed the border illegally and was carrying a young child. As the border patrol agents took care to search them, we discovered a gut-wrenching reality: wrapped up with the bundled child was a package of drugs stuffed into the toddler’s diaper where they thought we wouldn’t look.
The fact is, situations like the one I described at the border have skyrocketed under the watch of President Joe Biden and Brown. They’ve worked to remove any semblance of a real border with Mexico.When we have more than 10,000 illegal immigrants crossing our border in a single day and record amounts of deadly fentanyl plaguing our communities and killing Americans, that should signal a crisis for any reasonable person. But evidently not for the Biden administration.
But we know how to secure a border. We’ve been advising other nations how to do so for years, as I did in Iraq when my team trained its border patrol. But it takes intentionality and courage. We also need to take advantage of the latest technologies. Surveillance methods have advanced tremendously since my border mission, and by equipping our Border Patrol, we can take proactive steps to stop illegal migrants before they set foot on our soil.
