More Than Two-Thirds of Americans Believe Biden's Open Border Was a 'Deliberate Policy'

The vast majority of Americans believe former President Joe Biden intentionally left the borders wide open during his tenure, a recent Harvard-Harris survey has found.

These results come as President Donald Trump makes significant headway in combating illegal immigration, Breitbart reported.

During the Biden administration, record numbers of illegal aliens crossed the border.

While it’s possible that this was due to complacency or incompetence, a significant majority of those surveyed believe it was intentional.

In a poll conducted from July 6 to 8 among 2,044 registered voters, 67% of respondents believed that Biden kept the border open.

On whether this was a “deliberate policy” or not, 69% agreed that it was.

This sentiment is more widespread when broken down by party affiliation, with 84% of Republicans believing it was a purposeful decision, while 68% of independents share the same view.

Even Democrats could only muster a slight majority of 51% who believed the border was “secure” and 52% who thought it was “not deliberate.”

Biden and his handlers were squarely responsible for the open border mess.

88% of Republicans and 60% of independents are calling it “deliberate” in the poll.

This is far more than just opinion, as recent facts may indicate that they’re right.

Trump has plugged up the leaks at the Southern Border, with May and June reporting that there were zero illegal aliens brought into the interior of the U.S.

In a post on Truth Social, the president touted his success while contrasting it with Biden’s failures.

“Zero Border crossings for the month for TRUMP, versus 60,000 for Sleepy, Crooked Joe Biden, a man who lost the 2020 Presidential Election by a ‘LANDSLIDE!'” Trump wrote on June 20.

“Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD!”

“The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING.

“A Special Prosecutor must be appointed.

“This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin!

“What this Crooked man and his CORRUPT CRONIES have done to our Country in 4 years is grossly indescribable!” Trump concluded.

“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

One positive figure can be dismissed, but it appears Trump’s success in reversing Biden’s immigration trends continues across other metrics.

According to Fox News, Biden paroled 27,766 illegals in June 2024 while Trump released exactly zero in June of this year.

His policies have also stopped illegal immigration at the source, as Border Patrol reported just 6,070 encounters with illegal immigrants for the entire month of June.

During the Biden administration, there were as many as 10,000 illegal immigrants a day crossing the border.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Rodney Scott credited Trump with this change in a news release last month.

“From shutting down illegal crossings to seizing fentanyl and enforcing billions in tariffs, CBP is delivering results on every front,” Scott said.

“Under this administration, we are protecting this country with relentless focus, and the numbers prove it,” he added.

The president is certainly a skilled statesman, but it’s clear the disparity has just as much to do with Biden’s open-door policy as it does with Trump’s crackdown.

For as inept as Biden was at being president, the record illegal immigration can only be explained through a willful decision to let it happen.

It’s clear as ever now that this was intentional, especially since Trump has been so successful so quickly after taking office.
