Biden’s Immigration Policy: Disaster By Design, Not By Accident
Issues & Insights ^ | 20 Jun, 2024 | I & I Editorial Board

Posted on 06/24/2024 5:14:56 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Joe Biden is very clearly in the running to be the worst U.S. president ever. To understand why that’s true, you need only look at the Democrat’s refusal to protect the integrity of our borders. It’s almost as if he wants America to disappear.

As we’ve noted here before, we do not oppose immigration. But, as with everything else, immigration is governed by laws, rules and principles. Unfortunately, when it comes to immigration, Biden simply ignores the law and instead uses presidential command in its place.

The result: chaos on our border and, increasingly, on our streets as city after city suffers from rising illegal immigrant crime. And it’s going to get worse.

Already, an estimated 7.4 million illegal immigrants have made their way into the U.S. during Biden’s presidency. That doesn’t include the nearly 2 million “gotaways” who were spotted by border officials crossing the border, but didn’t get nabbed.

“These numbers are further proof of President Biden and (Department of Homeland Security) Secretary Mayorkas’ radical commitment to open borders, and the secretary’s high crimes and misdemeanors committed to make them a reality,” House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green said in a statement on Monday.

Among the “gotaways” this month making crime news were a 24-year-old Guatemalan male who allegedly raped a minor in Massachusetts and another from El Salvador charged with rape and murder a mother of five in Maryland. A 24-year-old Ecuadorian arrested for raping a 13-year-old girl in New York was caught crossing the border but released into the U.S.

Open-border advocates claim this proves nothing. But that’s not true. None of those crimes would have taken place if our border controls had been enforced.

And an even greater threat, sooner or later, will be terrorists with ties to ISIS, such as those who earlier this month were arrested, and cartel members like those that, as NBC News put it in a story three years ago, “capture, extort and torture” those trying to cross the border.

It’s getting uglier by the minute. Britain’s Daily Mail recently ran a map purportedly showing “America’s Migrant Gang Invasion,” including cartel members, gang-bangers, ISIS followers, sex traffickers and other unsavory types. All from Biden’s open border.

With the unprecedented flow of undocumented people crossing our borders, we’ll be getting more of this — lots more of this. Crime, poverty, higher spending.

Americans, of course, are furious. It shows up in polls. In our own April I&I/TIPP Poll, 58% of voters supported building a wall along our southern border and “rigidly” enforcing all border laws.

This is no outlier.

A CBS/YouGov Poll found 62% of Americans, including Democrats, support deporting “all” undocumented immigrants. All of them. Even Hispanics don’t back uncontrolled immigration, with 53% saying they would support mass deportations, versus 47% who said they would oppose it.

With voter anger growing and the 2024 election looming, Biden has repeatedly vowed to do something, with his spokespeople touting a Biden “executive order” to regain control of the border.

So what was his big executive order? A plan that really doesn’t crack down on illegal immigration at all, but grants amnesty or “parole in place” for hundreds of thousands of people — half a million by the White House’s own estimate.

The “Keeping American Families Together” plan isn’t new. This is just an expansion of current law, with fewer hard rules. In short, it’s an amnesty plan that will encourage more, not less, illegal immigration. But it’s in addition to the “temporary amnesty” program, already in place, that protects 860,000 illegals from being deported.

All this generosity has turned the U.S. into an illegal immigration magnet.

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Biden’s border surge that he verbally encouraged will bring in 8.7 million more immigrants between 2021 and 2026. The border crisis, according to congressional estimates, is already costing the U.S. $451 billion a year.

How much more will you be willing to spend?

We hate to be cynical, but why would a major political party commit itself to such a disastrous course unless it expected a payoff down the road? Like millions more grateful voters, all heavily dependent on government aid to get by? So, OK, call us cynical. But that’s sure the way it looks.

Biden and his Democratic supporters have chosen unassailable political power over the integrity of their nation’s borders, its Constitution, and the clearly expressed will of the American people, as reflected in numerous polls. More than anything, this is why the 2024 election is crucial.

Quotes from the Refugee Convention:

Article 23 - Public relief

The Contracting States shall accord to refugees lawfully staying in their territory the same treatment with respect to public relief and assistance as is accorded to their nationals.

Article 17 - Wage-earning employment
....
2. In any case, restrictive measures imposed on aliens or the employment of aliens for the protection of the national labour market shall not be applied to a refugee...who fulfils one of the following conditions:
(a) He has completed three years’ residence in the country;
....
(c) He has one or more children possessing the nationality of the country of residence.

Article 34 - Naturalization [and getting the right to vote (and buy AR-15s)]

The Contracting States shall as far as possible facilitate the assimilation and naturalization of refugees. They shall in particular make every effort to expedite naturalization proceedings and to reduce as far as possible the charges and costs of such proceedings.

https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-relating-status-refugees

Article 44 - Denunciation [getting out from under the Refugee Convention]
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....

NOTE: I do not trust any politician who has not called for invoking Article 44 to get the US out from under the Refugee Convention.

The Refugee Convention must be removed from the Democratic Party toolbox by invoking Article 44.

Building a fence won’t stop the flood. They can climb over (or cut through) the fence if no border patrol agent is around, or they can yell to ask for asylum if an agent is around.

The vast majority of them are coming to work construction.

Don’t buy a new house.

How many illegal immigrants will be voting in 2024?


Probably, very few, in reality.

What is happening is they are stuffing the voter roles with names of those “immigrants”. I am quite sure they are already printing up the mail-in ballots so they’re ready for the steal on November 5th.

No one checks the voter roles, so the Rats know they’re creating themselves a gold mine.

We’ve just signed a contract to buy a California condo at $500,000.

We’ve got the $100,000 for the 20% down payment.

Please give us a mortgage for $400,000.

Not so fast, young folks. The Democrats are planning to make housing affordable for everyone. At $20/hour that might mean a $200,000 condo.

We can only lend you $160,000, 80% of $200,000.

What can we do?

Do you have parents with $240,000 to spare?

No!

Then be nice to your landlord and pay your rent on time. Maybe one day you can buy a condo for $200,000.

I work the polling place every 2 years. We scan the drivers license to verify it is legit and need proof of residency if they are not in our precinct; rental agreement, utility bill in their name, etc. I need to find out somehow if we can require proof that they are a US citizen but am not sure if we can do that.

Before ou can establish a totalitarian government you must destroy the Middle Class and disarm all law abiding citizens. The Democrats progress for this are well under way.

Where are the construction jobs?

The Democrats have undermined the zoning system here in California. Mortgages are only available up to 80% of the likely future ‘affordable’ price.

Surely people need places to live and I want to work. Here’s my work permit from Joe Biden. Here are my tools - brand new.

The market prices exceed available financing, so almost nothing gets built at all. The market prices stay high because almost nothing gets built. The few properties that get sold are bought for cash. These few sales set the market pricing and the tax assessment valuations.

What am I going to tell the cartel people who helped me? They made me promise to pay them $10,000.

“I need to find out...”

You will be told the procedures to follow to the letter.

Denying anybody their lawful right to vote, as determined by a judge or consent decree, is a serious federal crime.

J6ers know how hard a law book can be tossed.

Article 31. - Refugees unlawfully in the country of refuge

1. The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of article 1, enter or are present in their territory without authorization, provided they present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence.
2. The Contracting States shall not apply to the movements of such refugees restrictions other than those which are necessary and such restrictions shall only be applied until their status in the country is regularized or they obtain admission into another country. The Contracting States shall allow such refugees a reasonable period and all the necessary facilities to obtain admission into another country.

Article 32. - Expulsion

1. The Contracting States shall not expel a refugee lawfully in their territory save on grounds of national security or public order.
2. The expulsion of such a refugee shall be only in pursuance of a decision reached in accordance with due process of law. Except where compelling reasons of national security otherwise require, the refugee shall be allowed to submit evidence to clear himself, and to appeal to and be represented for the purpose before competent authority or a person or persons specially designated by the competent authority.
3. The Contracting States shall allow such a refugee a reasonable period within which to seek legal admission into another country. The Contracting States reserve the right to apply during that period such internal measures as they may deem necessary.

The Refugee Convention by permitting illegal entry (and entry upon any request) makes it impossible to secure the border. We need to get out from under the Refugee Convention.

One of the ploys that corporations institute to avoid a hostile takeover is to adopt “poison pills.” That is they create rules that make the next or new executives who come in face an impossible situation.

I think that a lot of Biden advisors understand that Biden’s months in office are limited and they want to make life hell for President Trump, when he takes office; in the hopes that voters will blame Trump for all the problems Biden creates.
