Biden was one of the worst presidents in modern history. But we’re still discovering just how bad he really was.
And Joe Biden was exposed for ignoring this critical warning while president.
It’s no secret that Joe Biden’s time in the White House turned America’s southern border into a complete disaster zone. But a bombshell report from the New York Times uncovers just how much Biden knew about the impending catastrophe—and chose to look the other way.
Back in 2020, while he was still on the campaign trail battling President Trump, his own advisers handed him a stark warning about his soft-on-immigration plans. They painted a picture of utter pandemonium if he didn’t toughen up.
The memo didn’t mince words: “A potential surge could create chaos and a humanitarian crisis, overwhelm processing capacities and imperil the agenda of the new administration.”
Biden’s crew even laid out practical fixes to slam the door shut. They suggested making it simpler to deny bogus asylum claims, stashing seekers in temporary reception centers while their stories got vetted, and even shipping them off to other nations willing to take them.
These weren’t pie-in-the-sky ideas; they were real strategies to keep the floodgates closed. But what did Biden do? He brushed it all aside like yesterday’s news.
Fast-forward to January 2021, when Biden waltzed into the Oval Office. His policy advisors didn’t let up—they kept pushing for a real crackdown, beefing up enforcement to stop the crossings cold.
They argued it was essential to regain control. Yet again, the advice went ignored. Why? Because his inner circle fretted that getting tough would upset the far-left progressives in the party. And get this—they claimed immigration wasn’t even on the radar for folks in states far from the border.
That arrogance proved deadly. In just the first three months of Biden’s presidency, illegal crossings skyrocketed, blowing past any highs seen under Trump. We’re talking record-shattering numbers that turned border communities into overwhelmed camps. American towns were left holding the bag, dealing with the strain on resources, schools, and safety that everyday folks felt in their wallets and neighborhoods.
One wild idea from his advisers was to have the feds step in and help shuttle these migrants from border hotspots to their final stops inside the U.S. Sound familiar? It’s basically what Texas Governor Greg Abbott did later, busing loads to liberal strongholds like New York to make them share the burden. But Biden’s team nixed it, saying it would just lure even more people to try their luck.
This head-in-the-sand approach wasn’t just foolish—it was a betrayal of American workers and families. While elites in Washington partied, real people suffered from the crime, drugs, and job competition that poured in unchecked. Biden’s refusal to act early handed ammunition to his critics and exposed the hypocrisy of Democrats who talk big on compassion but dump the mess on everyone else.
Former officials from his own administration aren’t shy about it now: These massive missteps sealed Biden’s fate in the 2024 election.
Of course, Biden never owned up to his failures. Instead, he pointed fingers at Republicans, claiming they stonewalled his so-called reforms. As if the GOP was the problem when his policies invited the invasion in the first place. He loves to play the blame game, dodging responsibility like a pro.
It wasn’t until the eleventh hour, deep into the 2024 campaign, that Biden finally used his executive powers to clamp down on the border without waiting for Congress.
A spokesperson for Biden said to the Times: “When it became clear Congress wouldn’t act, Biden took decisive action on his own.”
This whole saga exposes the rot in Washington—politicians more worried about appeasing activists than protecting the homeland. Biden’s crew prioritized progressive feelings over American security.
Looking back, Trump’s wall and tough stance kept things in check. Biden tore that down, inviting the horde. Now, with the dust settling from 2024, it’s clear: Ignoring sound advice for political expediency doesn’t just hurt borders—it crushes presidencies.
If this report teaches us anything, it’s that real leadership listens to warnings and acts swiftly to defend the nation.
Biden’s flop should be a wake-up call for any future administration: Put Americans ahead of open-border dreams, or face the consequences at the ballot box.
