If Bishop E. Evans of the Texas Army National Guard drowned while trying to save the lives of illegal drug traffickers on Friday, this young man’s blood is on the hands of Joe Biden.

According to reports, the 22-year-old member of the Texas Army National Guard dove into the Rio Grande to rescue two illegals who appeared to be struggling in the river’s treacherous currents.

SPC Evans went under and disappeared. The illegals were rescued and arrested. They were smuggling drugs into the country to poison our children.

As of Sunday night, the search for Evans continues. 

The president’s reckless border policies - essentially the border is open, illegals get a free phone and a fistful of dollars if they successfully sneak into our country - created a massive crisis in Texas. Since Inauguration Day 2021 it’s estimated more than 836,000 illegals have been released into the country.

They’re never leaving, thanks to Joe Biden.

They’re here because our president wants them here. He doesn’t care about their criminal records or the human trafficking that gets them across the border and he doesn’t care about the drugs they bring with them.

If he did, Biden would close the border.

Not only does Biden want illegals pouring into the country, he has undermined his own border patrol while agents tried to enforce the law. Anyone else remember Biden’s hasty and idiotic remarks about agents supposedly “strapping” illegals, when what he was looking at were photos of agents on horseback with split reins?

“It’s outrageous,” Mr. Biden said. “I promise you, those people will pay. There will be an investigation, underway now, and there will be consequences. There will be consequences.”

Biden’s contempt for U.S. immigration laws forced Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to activate his national guard to protect the citizens of the Lone Star State and their property from the invasion.

Specialist Evans joined the National Guard three years ago. He served in Kuwait and Iraq. 

SPC Bishop E. Evans did more for his country in his 22 years on earth than Biden has done in his 79.

Andrew R. Arthur, a University of Virginia grad and a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, last week released a paper titled, “Nearly 1.06 Million CBP Encounters at Southwest Border Thus Far in FY 2022. And Biden Illegal Migrant Releases Now Exceed 836,000 - Does the President Have a Plan?”

It’s an indictment of Biden and his laissez-faire attitude toward illegal immigration.

”According to an April filing in Texas v Biden, a CBP encountered 221,303 illegal migrants at the Southwest border last month, bringing total counters there to just fewer than 1.06 million for just the first half of FY 2022. Worse, DHS released more than 80,000 of those migrants into the interior last month, raising the total number of migrant illegal releases under the Biden administration to 836,225. While it seems the White House doesn’t have a plan…

 Biden promised in December 2020 that he would create “guardrails” to prevent chaos at the border before reversing his predecessor’s immigration initiatives.

Almost immediately after he was sworn in, however, Biden began dismantling policies and procedures that the Trump administration had implemented to successfully slow illegal entries into the United States, without any plan to deal with the inevitable rush of aliens who would come illegally to take advantage of his more “humane” immigration posture. In lieu of “guardrails,” Biden created a border “sluice.”

As I have previously explained: “Doing nothing” to prevent illegal entries is itself a policy, and “nothing” is what the president has done to respond to the flood of illegal migrants pouring across the Southwest border, all but unabated, since February 2021.

The border situation will worsen next month when the feckless Biden Administration plans to let Title 42 expire, the Trump-era public health measure that blocks asylum seekers at the border because of the pandemic.

Yep, Biden’s Department of Justice is in court trying to slap masks on the faces of healthy American air travelers while allowing a measure to expire that keeps infected foreigners out of the country.

Madness.

I hope they find SPC Evans alive. If he drowned because his compassion and training sent him into deadly waters to save a couple of drug mules, Biden should travel to Texas to face this young man’s parents.

Let the man who set this border calamity in motion explain to them why their son isn’t coming home.
