According to Breitbart News, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has dropped a sharp critique of the Biden administration's handling of asylum seekers, pointing to a system that is overwhelmed and unchecked.
Noem appeared Thursday on Fox News Channel's "The Ingraham Angle," exposing what she calls a reckless approach to border security.
Her words cut through the fog of political excuses, highlighting a backlog of 1.5 million asylum cases under Biden's watch. She argues this chaos drowned out even legitimate claims, leaving the system paralyzed.
Noem painted a grim picture of an administration that lost control, allowing waves of applicants to flood in without scrutiny. She stressed that these 1.5 million backlogged cases represent real risks to national safety.
Her frustration was palpable as she described a process where vetting became an afterthought. The sheer volume, she suggested, turned the border into a revolving door for the unverified.
Adding to the mess, Noem pointed out that even those with credible asylum claims got buried under the pile. This failure, in her view, betrays both American security and those genuinely seeking refuge.
Host Laura Ingraham pressed Noem on why so many Republicans backed bringing in Afghan refugees, questioning the logic of unkept promises. She scoffed at the idea of owing America to 100,000 interpreters, calling it absurd.
Ingraham's take was blunt, suggesting the public never signed up for this burden. Her skepticism mirrors a broader unease about policies forced on citizens without consent.
Noem echoed that sentiment, acknowledging some refugees aided U.S. troops and deserved advocacy. Yet, she quickly pivoted to the larger issue of unchecked entry under Biden's policies.
Noem didn’t mince words, stating, “The Biden administration was just allowing people to come here and allowing them a free-for-all at the United States and our territories and our country.” That quote lands like a brick, exposing a border policy that seems more like an open invitation than a safeguard.
She hammered the point that this wasn’t just about numbers, but about abandoning responsibility. A system meant to protect became a sieve, and Americans are left footing the bill for the fallout.
Her critique stings especially when you consider the 120,000 to 200,000 individuals who entered through specific programs on top of the backlog. That’s a staggering load for a nation already stretched thin on resources and trust.
The core of Noem’s argument is a plea for order, a return to vetting that prioritizes American safety over political posturing. She sees Biden’s approach as a betrayal of duty, plain and simple.
While her tone carries sympathy for those who protected U.S. forces, she refuses to let that cloud the bigger picture. Compassion can’t mean capitulation, and security must trump sentiment every time.
Ingraham summed up the frustration with, “This was like, forced down the throats of the American public.” That raw honesty captures the resentment many feel toward a government that seems to care more about optics than its own people.
