What will Jake Tapper and Dana Bash ask Joe Biden about border security?

When Martha Raddatz interviewed Elizabeth Warren on This Week about border security, Warren didn't have a straight answer. Sen. Warren just started spinning. First, Raddatz asked Warren "President Biden, I know he wanted that immigration bill to pass, that bipartisan, but there have been more than 6.9 million apprehensions at the southern border thus far in Biden’s term. There were just over two million in Donald Trump’s entire term. What did the president do wrong?"

That startled Sen. Warren, who replied "No, this isn’t about what the president did wrong. Remember, on the very first day that he was sworn into office, President Biden asked Congress both for the resources and for comprehensive immigration reform. The Republicans blocked it, blocked it, blocked it, blocked it. Until last fall—" Raddatz interrupted, replying "But Donald Trump didn’t have that either, Senator. He didn’t have that either and there were two million during his entire term." Apparently, Democrats, including Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden, haven't figured out that the key isn't comprehensive immigration reform:

In Trump's 4 years in office, the border was secure. Just 2.09 million illegal aliens crossed the TX-Mex border. That's compared with 2,370,000 illegal aliens that crossed in FY2022 and compared with 2,475,000 illegal aliens that crossed in FY2023, the last 2 full fiscal years of the Biden administration.

Drawing Conclusions

  • Most likely, comprehensive immigration reform is the Democrats' dodge for securing the border.
  • Comprehensive immigration reform isn't required since Trump fixed the border without it.
  • Democrats might not be interested in border security since they were given the blueprint for securing the border.
Questioning Decisions
  • How committed are Democrats to border security?
  • How committed are Democrats to fighting migrant crime?
  • Are Democrats interested in preventing violence? Thus far, I don't see proof of that.
The time for comprehensive immigration reform is over. Here's why:

Without Trump's wall, the rest crumbles. Democrats aren't interested in finishing the wall. They want more voters. Period. This tells the story:

Finally, I don't know if Martha Raddatz' interview will cause Tapper and Bash to ask tough immigration questions of Biden. I hope they ask him difficult questions but I'm not betting on it.

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)

Image
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
