Biden Blames Southern Border Crisis On Republicans Before His First
Planned Trip To The Region

The Biden White House has been ignoring the border crisis for the past
two years, with Biden refusing to visit the region to see the chaos in
person and even denying the reality of the situation despite all
evidence to the contrary.  Both Biden and the Department of Homeland
Security have been actively seeking to erase Title 42, the only
framework in place for slowing the tide of illegal migrants flooding
across into the US.  However, now that the Supreme Court has ruled
that Title 42 must remain, Biden is suddenly changing his tune.

For the first time in his residency at the Oval Office, Joe Biden is
set to take a trip to the southern border, specifically El Paso.  The
Democrat run Texas city has been an epicenter of the ongoing migrant
surge, with Mayor Oscar Leeser finally admitting a couple weeks ago
that El Paso is in a state of emergency.   Leeser originally refused
to label the mass invasion of illegals as a crisis (he says the White
House pressured him not to), but with El Paso running out of funds to
deal with the influx and thousands of migrants crowding into sleeping
bag cities on the streets he has been forced to acknowledge reality.

It should be noted that, conveniently, El Paso has been engaged in a
massive clean-up effort to reduce the level of homeless migrants right
before Biden's arrival, which suggests there is an attempt to hide the
scale of the crisis from the American people.  Measures include the
building of a make-shift border wall using shipping containers and
barbed wire, which reports say has been very effective in slowing the
flow of migrants into the city.  It's rather ironic that the Democrats
are now forced to build a border wall just to make Biden's visit to El
Paso look good after years of sabotaging any efforts to build a wall
under the Trump Administration.

It's also rather hypocritical that after conservatives spent years
trying to get any traction from leftists on border security, Democrats
now blame Republicans for the crisis. Biden took to his teleprompter
this week to lambast conservatives for rejecting his immigration
policies, most of which are designed to make it easier for illegals to
get citizenship through amnesty measures.  It is these same policies
which are attracting more migrants rather than dissuading the marching
caravans from rushing across the border.



Biden suggests that Title 42 actually makes the migrant problem worse
because, by kicking illegals back to where they came from, they then
might try to cross the border again.  This kind of warped logic is
pervasive in the White House response to immigration - Biden is
essentially saying that if we simply let most of the illegals into the
country the first time around, then we won't have to deal with them at
the border again in the future.  Of course, this defeats the purpose
of having a border in the first place.

Biden also argued that conservatives prefer that the crisis continues
so that they can use it to gain more votes in future elections.  One
would think that if this were the case, Biden and the Democrats would
be anxious to close the border, build a wall and keep Title 42 in
place.

Border patrol encounters with migrants plummeted under Title 42 in
2020, proving that the law works when enforced properly.  The reason
for the sudden surge in encounters is the presence of Joe Biden in the
White House and the expectation that Title 42 would be rescinded.
Luckily, the Supreme Court has blocked this action and now the White
House is forced to pretend as if they care about the migrant crisis.

Amnesty measures are a rationalization for open border policies,
nothing more.  Biden claims that most immigrants are coming from
oppressed nations seeking freedom.  However, nearly 40% of all illegal
migrants are from Mexico.  Beyond Mexico, the largest number of
migrant encounters are from Ecuador and Brazil (not countries of
origin eligible for amnesty).  Set aside the fact that anyone can say
they are seeking amnesty and are from an oppressed nation and there is
no way to verify their claim.  Finally, there are many countries that
real amnesty seekers could apply to for citizenship - Why is the US
the only nation that is pressured to take them all in?

At least 5 million foreign nationals have entered the US illegally
since Biden took office.  Since 2018, at least 60% of all migrants
seek some form of welfare benefits, which is why Democrat run cities
like New York and DC cannot handle 10,000 to 20,000 migrants, let
alone millions.  Without secure borders, there will not be an America
left for migrant "dreamers" to come to in the near future.  But
perhaps that is the point...
