Joe Biden went on vacation in St. Croix over the holidays.

Meanwhile, America's southern border is more broken than ever.

Fox News reports:

Migrant encounters at southern border hit record 302K in December, sources say.

The U.S. southern border saw its highest rate of illegal migrant encounters last month, blowing away previous statistics.

Sources with Customs and Border Patrol told Fox News Digital that migrant encounters hit a staggering 300,000 incidents in the last month of 2023, reaching a level thought unimaginable just years ago.

Between Dec. 1 and December 31, more than 302,000 migrants were documented attempting to cross the U.S. southern border. 

It is the highest total for a single month ever recorded. It is also the first time migrant encounters have exceeded 300,000.

More than 785,000 migrant encounters have been reported since the beginning of the fiscal year on Oct. 1 — the highest first quarter total ever recorded.

Republicans have blamed the surge on the policies of the administration, including the ending of Trump-era policies, while the administration says it is dealing with a hemisphere-wide challenge and needs more funding and immigration reform legislation from Congress. 

What is this president thinking?

What is ANYONE thinking?

Obviously our borders have not been secure for a very long time, but as the problem escalates to record levels, no one seems to be taking any action.

This is completely unacceptable.

Without a secure border we don't have a country.

PERIOD.
