President Joe Biden’s border and immigration policies continue to upset Americans. Discussions about the U.S. border are rife with emotion, division, and significant concerns about Biden's failure to protect the country.
Voter sentiment is heavy with frustration and alarm among everyone critical of Biden's policies. Reactions encompass several recurring themes, notably the fear of national security threats, economic pressures, and political dissatisfaction.
The Top Worries for American Citizens

National Security and Public Safety
Many perceive President Biden's approach to the border as lenient and poorly managed, bordering on treasonous. A recurring narrative insists his policies enable illegal activities like drug trafficking, human trafficking, and even terrorism.
Specific references are made to reports of individuals with alleged ties to ISIS being apprehended within the U.S., fueling fears about inadequate screenings and the potential for future terrorist actions on American soil.
Economic Worry
Americans are still very worried about the economy and how illegal immigration impacts U.S. households. Many people argue an influx of illegal immigrants places undue stress on our financial resources.
Voters see taxpayer dollars being redirected to support illegal populations at the expense of American citizens, especially those from the middle and lower classes. Their dissatisfaction is reflected in discussions about inflated costs of living, including rising prices for food, housing, and general goods, which are attributed to the broader scope of Biden's economic strategies.
Another poignant aspect is social and security costs, with reports of tragic crimes committed by illegal immigrants angering citizens. Stories like that of Laken Riley’s murder underline the personal impact of what is characterized as reckless policy making.
The most high-profile crimes committed by illegal immigrants often elicits calls for significant changes in leadership or sharper policy shifts. The murder of Rachel Morin by an illegal immigrant is another frequently cited tragedy as emblematic of the dangers believed to be inherent in the current approach to border security.
America Last
Amidst safety and economic grievances, there is also noticeable political disillusionment. Critics often accuse Biden and his administration of putting the interests of illegal immigrants above those of the American people. They argue unchecked illegal crossings cause a dilution of American values and the erosion of national security.
Calls for more stringent deportation policies, the firing of political figures seen as complicit, and even the impeachment of President Biden and other officials appear frequently within these conversations.
Biden’s Support
Contrasting sharply with criticisms of Biden are Democrat supporters who view America as having legal and moral obligations to provide asylum and refuge to those in need. This group advocates for humane treatment and mindful consideration of human rights, which they argue are being addressed through current policies. However, the discussion here is often overshadowed by the louder and more predominant concern about the collapse of national security and economic instability.

Suspicions About Democratic Endgame
The reaction to Biden's policies also shows significant distrust toward Democrat border messaging and a deep skepticism about the authenticity of Biden’s motives. Some Americans believe the administration's actions are politically calculated to sway public opinion ahead of elections.
Critics don’t believe the Democratic Party supports genuine attempts to resolve immigration issues. Voter accuse Biden and Democrats of prioritizing political survival over effective governance are a common critique among opponents.
Many Americans express vehement opposition to Biden's approach, characterizing it as weak and labeling it an "open borders" policy that has led to an influx of criminal activity. These individuals often underline events where illegal immigrants have been implicated in violent crimes as evidence supporting their concerns, arguing Biden's administration has failed to protect American citizens.
Voters feel Democratic border policies prioritize illegal immigrants and may even have cynical ends like swaying the election through illegal voting. These fears heighten voter dissatisfaction and amplify demands for stricter immigration laws and greater border enforcement.
Supporters of stronger border security frequently emphasize the notion of legal immigration, maintaining they are not opposed to immigrants per se, but rather to illegal entry into the country. They advocate for mass deportations and the establishment of more rigid legislative measures, such as imposing severe penalties on those who hire illegal immigrants.
