Australia Shows Why The Most Humane Border Policy Is Enforcing The LawsAustralia’s tough stance has signaled a defense of territorial sovereignty, a refusal to outsource immigration control to human trafficking networks, and an understanding that public support for controlled migration hinges on strong borders.By Carina Benton
JULY 7, 2021Vice President and in-name-only border czar Kamala Harris finally scurried down to El Paso, Texas two weeks ago. After months of dodging and trivializing the issue, Harris’s eventual visit failed to address the crowded and unsanitary correctional facilities, the influx of migrants in border towns like Del Rio, the regular migrant drownings and rescues in the Rio Grande, and widespread reports of trespassing, damage, and theft on riverfront ranches and properties in Val Verde and Kinney counties.
Biden promised a more humane approach to immigration. Yet there is nothing humane about yielding border control to criminal cartels who traffic and abandon toddlers and brutally rape unaccompanied children and women. Thanks to Biden’s encouragement, the surge in migrants rushing to the border — with cartels enjoying a monopoly on illegal crossings — has escalated an already bad system that exploits the most vulnerable.
It’s also not compassionate to ignore the surge in smuggling of fentanyl, a narcotic responsible for the deaths of around 36,000 Americans in 2019 alone. So far in 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection have seized as much fentanyl as in 2019 and 2020 combined. The Texas Department of Public Safety reported an 800 percent increase in the quantity of fentanyl apprehended at the border in the first four months of the year compared with the same period last year, enough fentanyl to kill 21 million people.
