The Department of Homeland Security has provided answers to Americans frustrated by skyrocketing costs, making it clear that the cause lies with former President Joe Biden and his disastrous open border policies.
In a post Thursday on X, the Department of Homeland Security appeared to answer questions from Americans who want to know why costs like rent, groceries, health care and more are so high. It says the answer is simple: it's because of the “tens of millions of illegal immigrants in our country.”
“The rent is too high!”
There are tens of millions of criminal illegal immigrants in our country.
“The products are too expensive!”

These are not just empty words, because DHS's operations to crack down on illegal criminals in our country prove that any economic struggle could have been prevented if Biden and his administration had done their job to secure our borders.
Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin provided a perfect example during a recent appearance on Fox News about recent CBP Operation Charlotte's Web in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“Amid a surge in activity, one of Charlotte's largest school districts reported 30,000 students absent, with more than 20% of its students potentially in the U.S. illegally,” McLaughlin wrote. “This means that limited school resources (teachers, classrooms, buses, meals, disability housing) are taken away from American children so that politicians can encourage mass illegal migration.”
McLaughlin is right. There are not many resources available, and the Trump administration is trying to clean up the mess for Biden and the Democrats.
