00:001231. That's how many days it has taken President Biden to do something, anything, about the
00:13humanitarian and security crisis that has consumed our southern border and is engulfing
00:22our country. Here's another number. There are 154 days until Election Day. In other
00:36words, the Biden administration has waited nearly its entire term before lifting a finger
00:44to address the open borders anarchy that it invited. In that amount of time, CBP has reported
00:55more than 7.8 million encounters with illegal migrants at the southern border, and that's
01:04not counting the 1.6 million known gotaways. Fentanyl poisoning is now the leading cause of
01:15death among American adults between 18 and 45. The lethal pipelines that began with Chinese
01:27chemical makers flow north across a broken U.S.-Mexico border. And perhaps most disturbing
01:37is the increasing number of individuals on the terror watch list who have exploited the border
01:46chaos to set foot on American soil. With an election just months away, the president hopes that
01:58issuing an executive order will demonstrate that he cares about this crisis and is trying to fix
02:06it. Never mind that his order would still allow more than 900,000 illegal aliens to come in every
02:16year at the southern border. This is on top of the half million illegal parolees President Biden
02:28intends to continue waving into the country. Combined, that's more than the population of 10
02:34states. It's a new Dallas, Texas, every year. This is like turning a garden hose on a fire alarm
02:44and the American people are not fools. They know that this play is too little, too late.
