The Department of Homeland Security brought the answers to those Americans upset about skyrocketing costs, making it clear that the reason lies at the doorstep of former President Joe Biden and his disastrous open-border policies.
In a post on Thursday on X, the DHS seemed to answer questions from Americans who want to know why things like rent, groceries, healthcare, and more are so high. It said the answer is simple: it’s because of the “tens of millions of illegals in our country.”
