(DC Pundit) – Christian Cooper, a Special Assistant on Immigration Litigation with the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Department of Justice, was captured on undercover video revealing that political donors are driving the Biden administration’s immigration policies. In the footage, Cooper stated, “We’re completely controlled by special interests above,” suggesting that Democratic megadonors heavily influence the administration’s approach to immigration.
According to Cooper, President Joe Biden possesses the authority to halt illegal immigration by closing the U.S. Southern border but has refrained from doing so, citing the sway of these influential donors. In a conversation recorded by Project Veritas, Cooper said, “I personally think Biden has the power to do that [close the Southern border]. I think the power has been delegated through him by the Immigration Nationality Act. I think… [Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas may have the power to do that.”
Cooper further explained that the Democratic Party’s agenda, particularly regarding immigration, is shaped by those who contribute the most money. “Whoever gives the most money to the Democratic Platform” sets the priorities, Cooper said. This agenda, he noted, leads to mass illegal immigration and a limited number of deportations for those entering the country unlawfully.
He also indicated that the Biden administration is concerned about the optics of tightening border security, which could result in negative press. “I don’t think they want that look unless it’s really necessary,” Cooper said.

Recent figures from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) estimate that since President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas took office, there have been nearly 10 million encounters with immigrants at the U.S. borders. Additionally, nearly 2 million illegal “got away” entries have occurred during Biden’s tenure. Pew Research estimates that 11 million undocumented immigrants are currently in the U.S., though one immigration reform group puts the number closer to 20 million, with a reported net cost of over $150 billion annually to American taxpayers.
