Hmm, MAGA County Sheriff from SD is and expert on Immigration? No. He is a Right Wing Modern GOP Extremist trying to Scare People. It works that's why they do it. Very Sad.

Over 90 percent of fentanyl, and over 80 percent of total illegal narcotics, arrive at legal points of entry—not between them—and are smuggled largely by Americans—not undocumented migrants. The ability to stay and work in the United States for years as their claims plod through the immigration court system is a powerful inducement to come here. The Trump administration did little to speed up the processing of claims. To be fair, Biden’s administration has done little in this area either but then the Democrats don’t have a majority in the House and Republicans refuse to participate in a bipartisan manner to solve it.

Wonder if there ever would have been a border issue had the United States supported democracy and respect for citizens of Central and South America...

Thank you for the brutal honesty in this piece. Fred Lamphere is a humble, gentle man, who sincerely cares about the people he serves and the bigger picture that the cost to freedom in this country will be if that border stays open. America is truly the last stand for freedom in this world, and if our leader ship can’t pull it together at the top end of American government to save what we have instead of bickering we are doomed
