Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blasted President Joe Biden over his “broken border policies.”
Kennedy published an opinion editorial Thursday detailing the failures of the Biden administration at the border over the past year. He titled the piece “Congress must stop terrorists who keep coming in through Biden’s broken border” and lamented the data on convicts discovered at the border.
“The Biden administration has made our southern border a magnet for terrorists and a cesspool of human suffering,” Kennedy wrote. “It’s both a national embarrassment and the biggest national-security threat our country faces, yet Biden continues to ignore the problem.”
Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Field Operations reported a total of 736 known or suspected terrorists in 2023. This was the greatest number of apprehended in recorded United States history. The majority of these were discovered at the northern border.
According to additional CBP data cited by Kennedy’s editorial, 284 sex offenders were also discovered by CBP.

Kennedy initially campaigned as a Democratic candidate but has since switched to run as an Independent candidate. As a result, the environmental lawyer has seemingly aligned more and more with right-leaning politics, writing in the editorial that his “fellow conservatives and I are doing all we can to bring Biden to the table.”
Additionally, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is facing impeachment from House Republicans due to the more than 302,000 people processed at the U.S.-Mexico border in December alone. This is in addition to the over 10 million immigrants who have reportedly entered the country illegally since Biden took office. It is the most recorded in that amount of time of any administration.
