Joe Biden’s time in the Oval Office is winding down, and for many Americans, it’s not a moment too soon. His tenure has been defined by a laundry list of unfulfilled promises and mounting national crises.

From skyrocketing crime in once-great cities to the unchecked chaos at the southern border, Biden’s leadership has left the country reeling. Inflation continues to pinch wallets. Global conflicts escalate under his watch. And the border crisis has morphed into a full-blown disaster.

Yet, through it all, Biden has consistently refused to take responsibility. No mea culpas, no admissions of failure—just more finger-pointing and empty rhetoric.

As he prepares to leave office, Biden saddles Americans with one last headache. And it’s a doozy. What Biden has done, deliberately, puts millions of Americans at risk.

From The Post Millennial:
According to the latest data published by ICE, 179,937 illegal foreign nationals, who under current federal law are inadmissible and required to be removed, weren’t detained but were living freely in the U.S. through ICE’s “Alternatives to Detention” (ATD) program, as of June 2024…

Congressional Republicans argue ATD is illegal and circumvents federal law, which requires inadmissible illegal foreign nationals to be detained and processed for removal.

Biden ICE Program: A Recipe for Disaster

Under the Biden administration, ICE rolled out its “Alternatives to Detention” (ATD) program. Sounds fancy, right? In reality, it’s a glorified “catch and release” scheme that has allowed nearly 180,000 illegal immigrants—who are inadmissible under federal law—to roam freely across the U.S.

The ATD program, introduced by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, was meant to monitor individuals using technology like smartphone apps and GPS ankle monitors. But as critics have pointed out, it’s more like a revolving door than a robust enforcement strategy.

The data tells the story. The majority of these individuals are living in Texas, California, Illinois, and Florida, but no state is untouched. California alone accounts for over 33,000 illegal residents under this program.

And while ICE touts its fancy SmartLINK Facial Matching program as a way to ensure compliance, the results suggest otherwise. Many of these individuals have simply disappeared, removing their ankle monitors and vanishing into communities far from the border.

Tom Homan and Trump’s Plan to Clean House

But don’t worry—help is on the way. President-elect Donald Trump is already gearing up to reverse Biden’s disastrous policies.

Trump’s newly appointed border czar, Tom Homan, has laid out a plan to enforce existing immigration laws and end the ATD program. Homan has been a vocal critic of Biden’s approach, calling it not only illegal but dangerous.

ICE has identified over 662,000 non-citizens with criminal histories slated for deportation, including nearly 15,000 charged with homicide and over 20,000 charged with sexual assault. That’s not a statistic; that’s a public safety emergency.

The Cost of Biden’s Failures

The consequences of Biden’s policies extend far beyond the border states. Law enforcement agencies across the country are arresting non-citizens, only to find out they were released under the ATD program.

Some of these individuals have gone on to commit horrific crimes, including rape and murder. These aren’t isolated incidents—they’re a direct result of Biden’s refusal to enforce federal immigration laws.

Homan has highlighted the human cost of Biden’s failures. “Preventing illegal entry saves lives,” he argues, pointing to the increasing number of Americans killed by individuals who should never have been released in the first place.

Biden’s Lasting Legacy

As Biden’s presidency draws to a close, the legacy he leaves behind is one of chaos and mismanagement. His immigration policies have not only failed but have put American lives at risk.

The ATD program is a glaring example of how Biden’s administration prioritized optics over enforcement and political correctness over public safety.

Key Takeaways:

• Biden’s ATD program is a disaster: Nearly 180,000 inadmissible immigrants are living freely in the U.S., many with criminal histories.
• Trump and Homan have a plan: Detention will be reinstated, and criminal non-citizens will be prioritized for removal.
• Americans deserve better: Biden’s policies have endangered lives and eroded trust in government, but there’s hope for change under new leadership.
