Over the past few years, many believe that President Joe Biden had one of the strongest terms in American history. But the truth is much more harsh than you might expect.

The fact of the matter is that the Biden administration did a great deal of harm over the past few years. But one particular area that deserves closer examination is what occurred at our nation’s borders. Biden single-handedly dismantled previous President Donald Trump’s policies in favor of something that can only be described as “loose” and dangerous, with millions of migrants entering our country illegally as a result.

And while the truth surrounding why Biden’s administration – including Vice President Kamala Harris – will never truly come to light, there are those working to take a closer look at what happened, and trying to break down why. That is exactly what documentarian David Scarlett has done with The Battle At the Border, made alongside co-producer Christie Hutcherson.

With the documentary, the duo takes a closer look at what’s been happening at the border. And not just investigation surrounding what took place in terms of online events, but actually going to the border itself and getting a first-hand look at the damage that had been done by corruption.

The documentary focuses on footage surrounding the duo’s visit, including discussions with Sheriff Mark Lamb, former police chief Jessup, rancher John Ladd, and others. We’re given a no-holds-barred look at what takes place, including seeing several migrants caught in the act of trying to slip into our country unnoticed – an act that’s surprisingly been more common than you might expect.

Along with showing what happens at the border itself, The Battle at the Border also includes footage supporting the argument that Biden’s administration failed. Between interview clips and actual sessions in the House where several senators and others provide proof of failure, it’s staggering to watch. And what’s more, it really makes you wonder what happened with such a catastrophic screw-up such as this.

Produced with the team over at HisGlory.TV, The Battle at the Border doesn’t hold back on its case, proving where wrong was done. This is all about showing the crime, deception, and tragedy that took place here, with lives lost at the hands of illegal immigrants with evil intentions. Like the members of the Tren de Aragua gang, who have not only set up shops in several states in the U.S. but have also managed to take over apartment complexes on their own.

While definitely a bit hard for some to watch, The Battle at the Border’s unflinching approach is mind-blowing. Scarlett and Hutcherson tell the truth as it lies, through both the footage taken at the border and the archival footage supporting their findings. The end result is a riveting watch that breaks down just where one man failed his country – and why so many were concerned about showing just how badly he failed.

But it’s not just Biden. The Battle at the Border also takes a close look at various organizations that swore they would protect illegal immigrants, even in the face of the rights of American citizens. This has always been a baffling approach, especially considering that the U.S. is “for the people, by the people” and not necessarily those who have crept into our country illegally.

And what’s more, politicians supporting these migrants with temporary living quarters usually reserved for other means. For example, a hotel in Boston suddenly became a living ground for migrants, despite complaints from U.S. citizens residing nearby who were just trying to go day-to-day with their lives. 

In this Instagram trailer, Senator Ted Cruz breaks down the point of failure by Biden. He shows a chart in which border control was perfectly held intact – until the president interfered. Following that, chaos erupted and spiked beyond all belief.

This clip is also a highlight, with the producers explaining how certain migrants behave at the border, asking “more questions” than they believed they ever thought they would have. It shows the sheer condition of what’s happening, compared to the glad-handing brush-off that Biden had given the issue for so long. This is just a glimpse of the kind of image The Battle at the Border provides.

Again, this isn’t an easy watch for everyone. It tackles a subject that no doubt won’t sit well with some people, especially those who believe they’re in the right supporting migrants as President Donald Trump and his fellow ICE agents (alongside border czar Tom Homan) clean up the mess left behind by the bumbling Biden.

But a must-watch it is, if only because it shows a dark moment in our nation’s history, when the then-president chose to support those outside the country rather than those within it, refusing to provide the comfort he was sworn in to do in the first place. The Battle at the Border details this to no end, and really makes you wonder just what the hell some people were thinking. Thankfully, at least we’re headed the right direction after taking such a painfully unnecessary path.
