The firing of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is long overdue –an urgent necessity. He should have been gone a year ago when he first made his obviously inaccurate claim that “the border is secure.” He has doubled down on that statement several times in the past year. He even said it under oath in congressional hearings – tantamount to perjury because he must know it is not true.
However, putting someone else in that position to carry out President Biden’s open borders policy will not solve the crisis at the southern border. That crisis is not a problem for Biden. It is not something that he cannot control – or is too inept to control. No. No. No. Not even Biden can be that stupid. The unprecedented surge at the border is exactly what Biden wants. In fact, Biden’s border POLICY is among his most successful from his perspective.
That is why Biden wanted to end Title 42 earlier – to get the surge going sooner. That is why he will not use his executive powers to put in place similar policies to retard illegal entry. That is why he will not build more walls – or pay for more resources to STOP the illegal border crossing.
That is why Biden uses the fact that border control is a federal issue to prevent states and local law enforcement authorities from taking action to stop the flow of illegals into their communities. He is not working in cooperation with local law enforcement or even Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). That is why Biden supports sanctuary cities that thwart efforts by local law enforcement to arrest and remove even criminal illegal aliens.
That is why Biden is not pursuing the Trump policies that had asylum seekers remaining in their country of origin while being vetted – as the law requires – or being held in Mexico until their cases have been heard. That is why Biden does not apply the legal standard for asylum. If he did, the vast majority of the illegal border crossers would be sent back home. Biden wants them all in the United States – as many as possible and as soon as possible, even if that means criminals, gang bangers, and drug dealers.
You may have heard on the news that Biden has hired 1500 more people to address the problem at the border. BUT … these folks are NOT hired to prevent illegal entry. They are assigned to FACILITATE entry into the country. And keep in mind that most of those who will enter illegally and remain in America illegally do NOT qualify for asylum under American law. Asylum is not available to people who merely want a better quality of life – better jobs, better pay.
As a smoke screen for his open border policy, Democrats and their media allies paint as positive a picture as they can – pure propaganda.
They most often show sympathetic images of women and children when, in fact, the vast majority of illegal border crossers are young single men. They rarely show the images of the children who are exploited by the drug cartels that take money to toss young children over the wall.
CNN did a documentary showing the hardship migrants suffer in their trek to America. We saw the long walks in bare feet. Camping in rain forests. We did not see the buses and trains filled with migrants that are organized by NGOs and criminal cartels. One railroad run by the cartels is called the “death train.” What we do not see is the victimization of those who are beaten, raped, enslaved and killed. We do not see the inhuman side of this so-called humanitarian crisis.
We also do not see the media focus on the conditions migrants suffer once they arrive in the United States. That was a daily topic during the Trump administration. Observers suggest that the conditions today are worse than under Trump – but you would not know that since much of the media is in complicity with Biden’s open border policies.
Thanks to Biden’s open border policy – and his efforts to ship unvetted migrants around the country – the problems many of the border communities have long suffered have now metastasized across America. New York City Mayor Eric Adams is sounding like the El Paso mayor – claiming the Big Apple’s resources are being exceeded by the flow of migrants. So far, that is only approximately 60,000 – and now he wants to ship them off to Orange County, New York. We saw that hypocrisy when Toney Martha’s Vineyard booted a few dozen migrants out of town shortly after they arrived.
One of the major responsibilities of a President is to defend the border. Biden is doing the opposite. Though the political climate would not support such a move, Biden is impeachable by any objective standard of dereliction of duty. He is not fulfilling his constitutional obligation – and is literally allowing criminals and drugs to enter the country, causing injury and death to American citizens. Even if you agree – as I do – that most of the illegal border crossers are, for the most part, relatively decent people, the percentage of illegals is too high, and the price we pay is very high.
We often see the statistics of those coming and crossing the border, but we rarely see an accounting of the got-aways – those who crossed and fled into the heartland. Border patrol reported 19,000 getaways in a recent weekend. And it is only logical that there will be a much higher percentage of criminals and drug transporters among that group.
Today’s political lexicon is filled with references to political lies – even a BIG LIE as a political brand – but arguably one of the biggest and most dangerous lies is that the border is secure and that Biden is trying to reduce the number of illegal border crossings. It is sadly ironic that the media concentrates on a BIG LIE that most Americans do not believe and pay no attention to a BIG LIE that too many Americans have been led to believe.
So, there ‘tis.
