It is extremely difficult to get a fair and accurate assessment of immigration across our southern border. There are many different classifications of individuals who cross the border. There are many different terms that are used to describe the process encountered by these individuals when they enter our country. Like all statistics, it is very relevant to compare different numbers from different time periods in the context of peripheral issues that impact immigration significantly. The media is full of those who will cherry-pick data to support their personal agendas regarding immigration. There are, however, some indisputable facts.
Although
it was far from an ideal situation, President
Trump and his Administration in his final year of 2020 had a fairly firm
control on the number of illegal entrants into America across the southern
border. National immigration policy
needed at that time, as it does now, a serious overhaul and examination; but
for that to occur, the illegal immigration into the USA must be under control
and somewhat static so that future options can be considered. You have to stanch the bleeding before you can address the real injury. President
Trump had brought the border situation to the point where those future options could
be discussed.
Joe Biden openly ran for president on a platform promoting an open southern border. One can play word games with his rhetoric all day long, but to anyone who paid attention it was abundantly clear that he disapproved of President Trump’s approach to border security and openly encouraged increased immigration both controlled and uncontrolled. Among his very first actions as president was a cessation of many Trump policies relating to immigration; many of them clearly successful and effective. He has done nothing over the past three-plus years in office to indicate in real terms that his attitude has changed one bit as far as immigration is concerned. He has allowed/enabled the bleeding to run out of control: https://mrctv.org/blog/craig-bannister/timeline-how-biden-created-border-crisis-and-encouraged-illegal-immigration
But
now that a presidential election is upon us and campaigns are gearing up to
full speed, the rhetoric coming from Biden and his appointees has changed in
tone. Through carefully worded messaging, strategic selection of statistical
data, and simple obfuscation…Biden is attempting to redefine the absolute and
undeniable catastrophe that he and his Administration have created at our
southern border. In any sane world,
his denial of culpability for this disaster would be laughable. In any rational sense, his bald-faced
revisions of actual history reflecting his ill-fated policies would be
classified as misleading at best…simple lies at worst. And the
cherry on top of this whole escapade has to be his most recent protest of
having insufficient presidential authority to address the immigration disaster
he himself has created; this from a president who has abused his executive
authority perhaps more than any other president before him.
It
is a very dangerous thing to underestimate the power of the mainstream media to
reshape public opinion in ways that support their personal agendas. The Republican Party has never grasped this
reality and I see no indication that any type of epiphany has occurred to
improve their understanding of this fact.
Will Joe Biden and his progressive
allies be able to paper over their immigration fiasco by the time people cast
votes this November? Only time will
tell.

Just
as Biden took his immigration policy training from his pitiful boss Obama (aka the “One”), the single digit also
schooled him on how to deal with foreign policy threats to America…Iran in particular. Not
content with sending pallet loads of cash to Iran and giving them a green light
to pursue a nuclear weapon, the Obama/Biden policies have quite simply
emboldened and enabled Iran and its militant leaders to bankroll terrorism not
only in the Middle East, but all across the globe.
Just
as he did in the area of immigration status, Joe Biden inherited a fairly
stable situation in the Middle East when he assumed the presidency (read the words of Democrat Joe Lieberman below). The historic Abraham Accords were beginning
to foster a new and pragmatic alignment among Middle Eastern nations and
prospects for achieving a lasting peace in the region were beginning to look
promising. But following his poor instincts
and petty jealousies, Biden felt the need to demonstrably dispose of anything
associated with President Trump…no matter
how successful and effective it might have been.
In
addition to carelessly tossing away any progress towards peace and
reconciliation in the region, Biden proceeded to load up his State Department
with the same fools that attended the Obama school of stupid foreign policy. An era of pandering, appeasement, and
apologizing was resumed and Iran has
taken full advantage of it: https://justthenews.com/world/middle-east/biden-officials-reverse-middle-east-rhetoric-signaling-collapse-admin-policy I have said
it many times, as have many others…these
are very dangerous times we living in and we have no leadership in our
government.
