Former President Joe Biden was warned by advisers that his immigration plans could lead to “chaos” at the US border — but he ignored them, a newly uncovered memo reveals.

His team doled out the advice to Biden when he was still campaigning against President Trump back in 2020, the New York Times reported.

“A potential surge could create chaos and a humanitarian crisis, overwhelm processing capacities and imperil the agenda of the new administration,” Biden’s advisers wrote.

The memo warned that a huge influx was possible given Biden’s approach, a backlog from the Trump administration and COVID hardships.

His team offered up steps that Biden, now 83, could take to thwart an influx of illegal migrants — including ways to reject immigration claims more easily.

Biden, however, opted to ignore the advice.

When Biden took office just months later, his policy advisers continued to urge the administration to crackdown on border crossings and increase border enforcement.

The advice fell on deaf ears again after top aides suggested a crackdown would alienate progressive voters and that immigration wasn’t a major concern for Americans living in non-border states.
