Invasion: Biden et.al. asleep at the wheel
Illegal immigrants swarm unopposed over open US southern border
With every passing day Biden et.al. prove they have no control over key crises pestering the US of A as we speak.
The southern border with Mexico has graduated into an open funnel for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to pour into an essentially undefended USA as Biden et.al. do their best to weaken, undermine, and downgrade border security to the benefit of the invaders.
Illegal immigration is one of the most pressing security issues which successive US administrations have failed to tackle with the degree of severity required. Biden et.al. are doing their best to outperform their predecessors in encouraging and, even, rewarding those who violate the US border because they have come to believe they have acquired the right to enter the United States illegally and stay without fear of punishment.
The most recent outlandish Biden initiative is “considering paying out hundreds of millions of dollars to illegal immigrant families who were separated at the US-Mexico border under Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy in 2018.”
This latest outlandish gesture is Biden’s reaction to illegals actually suing in US courts, with the assistance of American supporters of illegal immigration, claiming “hardship” and “psychological violence” was dealt upon them by the Trump administration policy of separating illegal immigrant families after their apprehension following their illegal entry into the country. Separation was a successful deterrent that Biden et.al. abandoned as soon as they arrived at the White House.
Paying hundreds of millions to noncitizens, who blithely break the laws of the land because they have developed the notion they are empowered to come into America illegally and stay living “in the shadows,” is an affront to every American who does not belong to the monied elites— and who struggles every day to make ends meet in this current Covid-plus world of terrifying insecurity.
Biden et.al. aren’t exactly the new boys (and girls) in town. At least three generations of Democrats have gone the extra mile demanding amnesties for illegals already in the country, and dovetailing with leftie “progressives” toiling to undermine the sanctity of Citizenship.
This love-at-first-sight isn’t the outcome of some deep humanistic inclination unique to Democrats; it is rather a longer term strategy of building voting majorities, which cannot be built via traditional methods. Remember LBJ and Ted Kennedy and their ‘immigration reform’ bill that cut European immigration quotas down to the bone? After that, the US sunk in the “family reunification” morass that brought into the country swarms of Asian and African illiterate non-English speakers that added a huge burden to welfare, sustained by the taxpayer—but produced, over time, steady “traditional” Dem voters (see this, this, and this, for example).
Biden et.al. dutifully follow the Dem path of downplaying the abomination of illegal immigration and the failure of successive US governments to really tighten the screws and even out the playing field in favor of incoming legal immigrants willing and able to contribute to America’s society and economy via their skills and dedication to their oath of Citizenship.
An example of how “serious” Ole Joe is about fighting illegal immigration is this latest back-and-forth in the Senate concerning the nomination of Chris Magnus to be Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security:
And Biden et.al. are working full time to benefit illegal immigrants via legislation awarding them substantial cash payments:
Democrats want to give illegal aliens $80 billion in handouts through the Child Tax Credit provision included in the massive reconciliation bill that is currently under consideration by Congress.
While Democrats, progressives, and Republicans are still fighting over whether they will pass the expensive social policy bill that grants the administration’s leftist agenda trillions of dollars, an analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies found that illegal aliens in the United States will get $8.2 billion in payments per year if the legislation is passed. Over 10 years, American taxpayers will have paid approximately $80 billion to migrants living in the U.S. illegally.
Meantime, the situation at the border goes from bad to worse, with every passing hour, but Biden et.al. appear, if not asleep at the wheel, at least snoozing in their comfortable congressional quarters. And the invasion continues:
Democrats virtue-signal endlessly about the fate of migrants who seek to cross our borders. Don’t fall for the ploy. Consider these questions: Why do many on the Left raise alarms about unvaccinated children attending our nation’s schools, but are at ease with having unvaccinated immigrants illegally entering the United States?
Why do those on the Left feign outrage about foreign interference in our elections but are comfortable allowing non-citizens among us to vote in our elections?
How do thousands of migrants, who travel 100’s or 1000’s of miles along treacherous roads to reach our borders, appear to be well fed, fully hydrated, in excellent spirits, and ready to climb walls? How, exactly, is all of this possible?
Many of these migrants, who apparently have abandoned what is otherwise considered to be impoverished situations, arrive with expensive smart phones, backpacks, walking boots, and a variety of other gear and accoutrements that represent a visible contradiction to their reasons for departing at all. Who is paying for the trek? From where does the support come?
Politicians on the Left, movie stars, and legions of other virtue-signalers rant about what a terrible place the United States was under Trump. They promised to move out of the country, but they did not. Each and every day, massive waves of people attempted to enter this awful country under Trump …and more so now under the laxity of Biden.
The long-suffering state of Texas has been abandoned to its own devices as the illegal multitudes advance through Mexico harboring the certainty they can breach the border at virtually no cost and establish “rights” the minute are on US soil. And instead of Washington declaring an emergency and sending the troops to stop the invasion, the Dem fathers and mothers of the Nation remain mute or, even worse, vocal on illegal immigration “rights.”
Biden’s Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appears quite relaxed over the broader illegal immigration crisis—and, indeed, finds grounds of not enforcing the laws of the land because illegal immigrants, already in country, contribute to the economy:
Mayorkas said it makes little sense to pursue all of the estimated 11 million people in the country without legal status, even if the U.S. had the law enforcement capacity to do so.
“They contribute to the well-being of our country and justice requires that we exercise our discretion accordingly,” he said. “The fact that an individual is a removeable non-citizen should not alone be the basis of an enforcement action against them.”
Overall, the illegal immigration crisis is just one of the many crises raging since Biden et.al. assumed office last January. The president seems lost in space most of the time; and his handlers should be having nightmares as to what the next hour may bring as this unbelievable saga of physical and mental disability and political incompetence keeps unfolding.
And we haven’t seen nothing yet.
