When the Walls Come Tumbling Down Share “The crisis has already begun,” former U.S. Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan pointed out during the Texas Public Policy Foundation livestream event, “When the Walls Come Tumbling Down: The Coming Border Crisis.” Morgan joined TPPF Senior Fellow in Border Security Josh Jones and TPPF Executive Director Kevin Roberts to discuss the quickly accelerating impact of the sweeping border security and immigration policy changes that are being made by the new administration in Washington. Morgan recounted that in 2019, prior to the full implementation of a series of aggressive Trump administration measures such as the Migrant Protection Protocols with Mexico, federal court-ordered restrictions along with loopholes in the U.S. asylum system had forced both his agency and ICE to “catch and release” over half a million unauthorized immigrants into the country. Trump administration measures proven to be effective “are now systematically being undone,” Morgan said.
