Exclusive — Rep.-Elect Mark Lamb: Americans May Have Forgotten 'Just How Bad it Was Under Joe Biden'
A Republican-elect Arizona congressman argues that Americans have forgotten how dire the Biden era was on the southern border and crime. He contrasts a chaotic open-border period with the Trump administration’s rapid border improvement, asserting ongoing impacts from trafficking and crime that hurt the economy. He links crime to policy shifts he attributes to Democrats, including moves perceived as defunding police or ICE. He warns the public will soon be reminded of the consequences of open-border leadership, while emphasizing the need to remember lessons from the last four years. The outlook implies a push to reframe border security and crime policy in future political contests.

Mark Lamb discussed these views on Breitbart News Daily after the midterm elections, framing the current political moment as a memory test for voters.
He characterized the Biden-era border situation as a disaster and contrasted it with rapid border stabilization he experienced during the first Trump administration, citing human trafficking, drug trafficking, and economic damage as key harms.
Lamb asserted that crime has risen, especially in Democratic-led cities, and linked this to policy proposals he says would defund police or shift funding away from ICE, arguing such moves would not reduce crime.
He claimed that murder rates had fallen during the last two years of the Trump presidency, presenting this as evidence of improved public safety under a stricter immigration and border stance.
The congressman-elect argued Americans have short memories and will be compelled to remember the perceived consequences of the open border policy soon, particularly leading into elections.
Lamb stressed that the four-year open-border period under the Biden administration caused lasting damage that voters should recall, framing it as a lesson learned too late.
