Busting Joe Biden's border bamboozle

Tuesday, Joe Biden issued this fact-sheet on his new executive action on illegal immigration. Biden literally started lying in the first sentence, which said "Since his first day in office, President Biden has called on Congress to secure our border and address our broken immigration system." Saying that Joe Biden wants secure borders is like saying that arsonists want well-funded, well-trained fire departments. It's like saying that Ilhan Omar wants a well-staffed, well-trained police department. Joe Biden campaigned against secure borders. Does this sound like a secured borders activist? It sounds like an open borders activist to me.

Customs and Border Protection (from this point forward, CBP) keeps statistics on illegal border crossings by fiscal year (FY). The last year of Donald Trump's administration was FY2020. That year, CBP reported illegal border crossings at 458,000. In the first year of the Biden administration (FY2021), CBP reported 1,750,000 illegal border crossings. In FY2022, CBP reported 2,370,000 illegal border crossings. CBP reported 2,475,000 illegal border crossings for FY2023. Just for some perspective on these statistics, the Biden administration has the 3 biggest border crossings years in DHS history. In fact, no other administration topped 1,000,000 in a fiscal year.

President Biden has called on Congress to secure our border

The Day One immigration reform plan that the President sent to Congress reflects both the need for a secure border and protections for the long-term undocumented.
Let's understand this. Biden didn't propose a Ted Cruz-Chip Roy-Donald Trump-type bill. He proposed an open borders bill. If his goal is to open the borders, why would he want anything that secures the border? This is what Biden said at on of the DNC-sanctioned debates:

That sounds like an open borders activist, doesn't it? This doesn't have anything to do with applying for asylum. These candidates know that if a person says the magic words, they're given a court date years into the future. These candidates also know that 90+ percent of asylum applications are rejected. With a Democrat president, though, to relax or not enforce the laws, you wind up with a massive invitation into the U.S.

U.S. v. TX

The DOJ filed a lawsuit in its attempt to prevent Texas from protecting itself:

The Justice Department today filed suit against the State of Texas to challenge Senate Bill 4 (SB 4) under the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause and Foreign Commerce Clause. The Constitution assigns the federal government the authority to regulate immigration and manage our international borders.
The Constitution gives states the right to step around the Supremacy Clause when there is an invasion. Why would a secure borders activist sue a state for wanting its borders secure?

The Biden administration started with a lie in its opening sentence. I'm betting most people think that's par for the course.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Blistering Barack's butt (bigtime)

This past weekend, Barack Obama tried spreading the blame around for Hamas's murderous rampage of Oct. 7. This blistering op-ed hints that Mr. Obama isn't the effective communicator that he once was. Obama initially insisted that "nobody's hands are clean" from the Oct. 7 Massacre. Liel Leibovitz, the Editor at large of Tablet Magazine wrote this op-ed questioning Obama's intellectual honesty. After Obama said that nobody's hands are clean, Mr. Liebovitz wrote wrote "Nah, man. Not all of us are complicit. It's just you. It's you, because you're the one who gave that stentorian speech about red lines in Syria and then sat by and did nothing as those red lines were crossed and Assad continued to slaughter his own people, allowing the Iranians and the Russians to creep in and fill the vacuum left by your devastating lack of leadership." In short, Mr. Liebovitz isn't buying what Mr. Obama is peddling. Let's question Mr. Obama a

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
