In recent commentary with Ben Bergquam of Real America’s Voice, US Border Patrol Council, Vice President Art Del Cueto sharply criticized the Biden Administration for its handling of illegal immigration and drug trafficking, exposing what he sees as a self-created crisis. Del Cueto pointed out that the region, where he was filming and awaiting a visit from Republican Vice President candidate, Senator JD Vance, is under discussion is a significant hotspot for illegal entries and drug smuggling, calling it “the number one area in the entire country when it comes to gotaways.”
The anticipated senator’s visit was noted for its relevance to the area’s notorious connections with drug cartels.
Del Cueto, in his discussion with Bergquam, targeted Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris specifically, criticizing her for failing to address the border issues despite having ample time and resources.
Del Cueto argued that Harris’s negligence, including her failure to visit the area, reflects a broader Administration failure to tackle the problem effectively. He emphasized the upcoming election’s critical importance, suggesting that it is pivotal not only for the United States but also for global stability and stressed that sending a message of commitment to defending the nation’s borders and controlling immigration is crucial for maintaining international security.

In a separate development, Rep. Eli Crane made a video of himself as he highlighted a troubling report from the Office of Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The report, dated June 25, 2024, reveals that nearly 7 to 9 million individuals with legitimate visas in the U.S. were not properly vetted. Crane criticized the Biden Administration for what he described as a serious oversight in handling Homeland Security and border issues.
According to Crane, the typical vetting process for foreign nationals involves thorough procedures including interviews, fingerprinting, background checks, and intelligence reviews. However, the report indicates that these in-person interviews and vetting processes have been waived. Consequently, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is left to verify the visa’s validity upon entry, without the comprehensive vetting that should have occurred prior to issuance.
Crane warned that this lapse in security could allow terrorists to exploit the system and enter the U.S. with legitimate visas. He urged Americans to examine the report and address what he views as another failure of the current Administration, which has already faced criticism for its handling of the southern border. Crane’s comments highlight a growing concern about national security and the effectiveness of current immigration policies.

These narratives on the mismanagement of the VISA program and of the lazy attention to the human and drug trafficking at the US Southern Border should be top concerns for the American voter.
