Chad Wolf joined Elizabeth Vargas Reports on NewsNation to discuss the border crisis.
Chad Wolf, former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, joined Elizabeth Vargas Reports on NewsNation to discuss the ongoing border crisis. Wolf highlighted several key issues, emphasizing the alarming rise in illegal crossings and the lack of effective response from the current administration.
Wolf pointed out that more than six million illegal aliens have entered the U.S. since the start of the Biden administration, a figure surpassing the population of most American cities. He stressed that this surge is not accidental but a direct result of the administration's policies, which he described as an "open border policy on purpose." According to Wolf, these policies have dismantled previously effective measures, leading to unprecedented levels of illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and human smuggling.
He also discussed the security lapses that allowed a gunman to approach a former president without intervention, despite being flagged by law enforcement. Wolf criticized the communication failures and lack of immediate action, underscoring the need for better coordination and proactive measures to prevent such threats.
Wolf's insights shed light on the critical need for a secure border to prevent crime and ensure national safety, calling for a return to policies that effectively deter illegal activities and protect American communities.
