Seeing a crisis on video has greater power in the minds of Americans than merely reading about it. For some time, we have been hearing that the Biden administration has been relocating thousands of migrant border-crossers into the interior of the country. But seeing the videos provided by Fox News raised concerns to a higher level.

Body-camera footage from security officers at New York’s Westchester County Airport show illegal border-crossers being dropped off in the middle of the night. An unmarked passenger jet has just landed, and a steady stream of single adult men walk off the plane while security guards are expressing their disbelief.

One of the security guards approaches the federal contractors alarmed that they don’t know anything about what’s going on. The response is merely to calm down and realize “this is just down-low stuff.” He explains that they do this in the dead of night because they don’t want to attract attention.

Another video in Texas shows illegal border-crossers being gathered up on buses so they can be taken into the US. They are discreetly taken away by a nongovernmental agency.

Even if most Americans haven’t seen these videos, they still harbor deep concerns over immigration and border security. President Biden’s approval ratings have been in the low 40s. But a recent CBS poll reported that that Americans give the president the lowest marks on how his administration is dealing with immigration. It appears that people other than Fox News viewers are also concerned about the lack of border security.

There is no reason to believe the problem will get better. Reuters reports that “border officials are preparing for as many as 9,000 border arrest per day in the spring” and that would be larger than last year’s peak arrest level.

The problem of border security isn’t a crisis that is going away any time soon.
