Under Biden Administration, Border Patrol Officers Pressured To Allow Border Crossing Without Vetting
SUMMARY
A recent Department of Homeland Security report criticized U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) management under the Biden administration for pressuring officers to allow vehicles from Mexico to cross without proper inspection. Border Patrol supervisors instructed officers to only question drivers, neglecting to use biometric tools for comprehensive screening. This practice heightens the risk of admitting individuals with criminal backgrounds or posing national security threats. The report highlighted concerns over CBP's screening effectiveness for aliens and noncitizens, citing instances where travelers without proper identification were expedited through ports of entry. It also stressed the potential dangers of inadequate screening compromising public safety and national security.
