I spent about 12 months as a freelance reporter filming the border crisis during Biden’s term.

I witnessed about 200,000 people cross the border illegally in that time. Many of the illegal aliens were from Islamic-majority African nations such as Senegal and Guinea. Many from the Middle East and India also entered the country unlawfully.
