If a frank enemy of the United States had taken over the executive branch of in January 2021, he would not have conducted himself one whit differently than Joe Biden, his administration, and his Democratic enablers in Congress and the media. From his first day in office Biden garishly repealed every border control that President Trump had worked up to stem the tide of illegal immigration. Biden put out the word to friend and foe alike that the United States had open borders.
As he had vowed to do, President Biden opened the borders to illegal aliens on January 20, 2021. It was among his first acts in office and stands as an almost unbelievable act of willful destruction. Indeed, as Andrew McCarthy bluntly put it in an August 2021
NRO column on Biden policy: “The federal government is aiding and abetting illegal immigration.”
Administration officials have both repeatedly lied about what it has done and deflected blame over the years since that day. Instead, the Biden administration has repeatedly assured us, “the border is secure” (video below).
Well, they have had second thoughts — second thoughts prompted by the need to “protect [their] phony baloney jobs” in advance of the presidential election. The powers-that-be in the White House and the Biden reelection campaign thought they could turn the “bipartisan border bill” fiasco to Biden’s benefit. As the sole author of the “emergency” that the bill was allegedly designed to address, Biden was in a uniquely poor position to advance the argument that Republicans are to blame.
Regardless of one’s cynicism about the American electorate’s level of knowledge concerning such matters, no one in his right mind believes the line peddled by Biden: “Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends.”
Joe Biden has created the flood of illegal immigration with which we have been inundated. He has assured us that all is well. Most recently, he has blamed Republicans for failing to provide the necessary cover.
