Biden and Harris have helped to create one of the worst border crises this country has ever seen. Large amounts of illegal immigrants are making their way into the country with ease because of them.
And a leading Border Patrol agent made a shocking revelation about the disturbing orders he took from the Biden/Harris admin.
Under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, illegal immigrants have been entering this country in large numbers.
But it seems as though Biden and Harris could care less about that. While some of these illegal aliens are taking American jobs and committing violent crimes, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing nothing to stop the problem. If anything they’re trying to sweep this whole thing under the rug.
Not only that, but as Biden’s “Border Czar” – a title that the mainstream media wants you to think never existed – Kamala Harris is now trying to convince voters that she will be tough on the border, despite showing no evidence in the past that she’ll carry out this promise.
Former Border Chief Issues Explosive Testimony Against Biden-Harris Administration
On Tuesday, Aaron Heitke, the former Chief Patrol Agent (CPA) for both the San Diego and Grand Forks sectors, issued a scathing account of the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of border security, particularly in relation to the growing threat of illegal immigrants with terrorist ties entering the United States.
Speaking before the Homeland Security Committee, Heitke revealed alarming details about the state of border enforcement and the pressure he faced to withhold critical information from the public.
“The only true consequence we have to slow down and discourage people from coming into the United States illegally is sending them back to their country of origin,” Heitke explained. He pointed out that, during the first three years of the current administration, there was a “steady decrease” in the number of countries to which illegal immigrants could be deported.
For the first time in his 25-year career, spanning five different administrations, Heitke observed a large-scale failure in the ability to return people to their home countries. This, he said, left Border Patrol agents with two difficult options: either detain or release those caught entering the country illegally.
Heitke didn’t mince words when directing his criticism at the Biden-Harris administration: “The current administration, however, from day one, made a point of decreasing the amount of detention space available nationwide. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s funding for detention has steadily been cut and private detention eliminated.”
According to Heitke, the resulting influx of illegal immigrants has been felt globally. “As this happened, the numbers Border Patrol encountered illegally crossing the border increased exponentially.”
The toll on Border Patrol operations, as Heitke described, was severe. “The impact to me and my agents was significant,” he said. He recounted how agents were ordered to process all individuals encountered at the border, even as groups of hundreds and thousands poured into the U.S.
The strain was such that “80, 90, sometimes 100% of the agents on duty” were diverted from border patrol duties. This led to entire zones in Texas, Arizona, and California being left without any agent presence for extended periods. Those looking to evade capture, Heitke said, could easily slip through. “We have no idea who and what entered our country over this time.”
Reflecting on the challenges of monitoring these incursions, Heitke noted, “Throughout 2022 and ’23, I sent agents to Texas and Arizona to count gotaways,” referring to those who evaded apprehension. He added that those sectors couldn’t even deploy enough agents to assess what had slipped through the cracks.
Heitke’s most damning testimony came when he revealed a troubling directive from the Biden-Harris administration. “Simultaneously in San Diego, we had an exponential increase in significant interest aliens. These are aliens with significant ties to terrorism.”
Under previous administrations, San Diego averaged 10 to 15 such arrests annually. But with word spreading that the border had become easier to cross, that number shot up dramatically: “San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022, well over that in 2023, and even more than that registered this year. These are only the ones we caught.”
Then, Heitke disclosed a bombshell: “At the time I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests. The [Biden-Harris] administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.”
The former CPA’s testimony paints a troubling picture of a border crisis spiraling out of control, exacerbated by an administration’s policies and, perhaps more concerning, an apparent attempt to conceal the growing risks.
