“On the Holmes Front,” with Frank Holmes
It’s not every day that a president makes history, but Joe Biden has done it.
It’s not just that he’s the oldest president in history, or the second Catholic president.
Even though Joe Biden has only been president for six months as of Tuesday (believe it or not), he’s broken a record: More illegal aliens have come into the U.S. on his watch than anytime since the year 2000.
It’s not just people: Border Patrol agents are seizing enormous amounts of hard drugs, and the United States is importing a whole new sector of COVID-19 cases.
To paraphrase wise words someone once said, “When foreign countries and criminal cartels send people, they’re not sending their best.” Here’s a breakdown.
The government says almost 190,000 people came into the U.S. illegally last month—the second-most in American history—and there’s no sign of stopping.
In June, Border Patrol saw more crossings than any time in more than two decades. U.S. officers on the border with Mexico arrested 178,416 people coming into America—but those are just the people arrested. The Center for Border Protection flagged 10,413 more at U.S. ports and waterways.
Even though it’s summertime, when illegal immigration usually drops off because of the unbearable heat, the numbers keep on rising. Just this week, journalists took video of a huge crowd pressing into the U.S.

Agents have 1,400 illegal aliens in custody right now, the highest number in three months…and they can’t even get them through the system, much less stop new people from coming.
The facts get worse and worse, but before we go on, ask yourself a question: Have you heard any of this anywhere on TV, except for conservative outlets?
Remember when the media poured out its heart about “unaccompanied minors”–the “children” who started flooding the border when Barack Obama announced that anyone under the age of 18 would be let go scot-free?
Last month, there were 15,000 children coming into the U.S. without an adult—except for the coyotes, the human smugglers and drug-running gangs that control all entry across the Rio Grande or anywhere else in the Southwest Sun Belt.
We’ve only had that many kids come to America alone three other times in our history. But now that immigration would embarrass Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the media haven’t covered it at all.
Total numbers are every bit as bad. The number of people coming to the U.S. illegally has only been higher one other month in history, and that was more than 20 years ago, before there even was a Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Then there are the drugs. Overdoses helped bring down U.S. life expectancy last year—and a lot of that fentanyl comes across the Mexican border. Border Patrol agents told The Washington Times that they’re seizing more of the deadly, and highly profitable, opioid substance than they have in years.
Before you ask why you haven’t heard it, let an expert give you one more piece of the puzzle.
Todd Bensman has followed the issue for years with the Center for Immigration Studies.
“I spend a lot of time with immigrants. I interview them all the time. For a year, I’ve been interviewing them while they’re en route, and this is what they’re telling me,” he told the Times. “To a man, woman and child, it was, ‘There’s an opportunity now because the Democrats opened the door. We’re coming now.’”
“Why wouldn’t I believe them? Why wouldn’t anybody believe them?” he asked.
You should believe them—and the media knows you will, if you can hear them. That’s why you won’t. Everything is always great in Joe and Kamala’s America.
America deserves better. That’s why The Horn exists. We promise, we’ll always give you the straight story.
