DeSantis: Biden Cannot Square Wanting Open Borders for Illegal Aliens, Travel Restrictions for Americans

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) says President Joe Biden “cannot square” opening the United States-Mexico border to thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens while also potentially restricting travel for American citizens.

Reports this month have circulated that the Biden administration is leaving the door open to restricting domestic travel from state-to-state for Americans — specifically travel to and from Florida.

Simultaneously, Biden has dismantled a legal wall at the southern border that has surged illegal immigration.

Biden’s end to the Remain in Mexico policy, as well as a series of cooperative asylum agreements with Central America, is ensuring that tens of thousands of border crossers will be released into the U.S. interior, many of whom will take American jobs while more than 17 million citizens are jobless. There is no requirement for these border crossers to undergo coronavirus testing before their release.

In an interview with Fox News, DeSantis called Biden’s policies “all political” when it comes to the Chinese coronavirus.

“Of course [illegal aliens] not being screened for COVID at the southern border because this is all political,” DeSantis said:

So [Biden’s] opening the border. He’s letting illegals pour in. They’re not doing any COVID tests; they’re just coming into the communities. We have no idea what type of COVID or other things they may be carrying, but yet he wants to potentially make you take a test if you just get on an airplane and fly from one American city to the next. Or he wants to prevent travel to the state of Florida.

This stinks to high heaven. It is a huge contradiction, and you can’t square wanting open borders for illegal aliens but then also restricting U.S. citizens from traveling around the country as they see fit, and I think the American people see [...]

He doesn’t have to. There is no opposition party that will hold Democrats accountable for their actions.

Coming from the south Covid is the least of our worries.

Here’s another paradox. Closed borders for American citizens, open borders for illegals and open borders for drug importation.

We know prescribed opioids are down but drug ODs up from mostly fentanyl. The DEA is creating an expanded black market.

“In 2019, a total of 70,630 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States; approximately one half involved synthetic opioids. From 2013 to 2019, the age-adjusted synthetic opioid death rate increased sharply by 1,040%, from 1.0 to 11.4. Death rates involving prescription opioids and heroin increased in the presence of synthetic opioids (from 0.3 to 1.8 and from 0.1 to 2.7, respectively), but not in their absence.

“New data from the CDC shows a 57% increase in drug overdose deaths between 2013-19, the time during which the war on prescription opioids was arguably at its apex. A colossal failure by any measure.”

* Illicit fentanyl - 1040% (11-fold)
* Stimulants (mostly methamphetamine) - 317% (4-fold)
* Cocaine - 2.06% (3-fold)
* Heroin - 63%
* Prescription opioids, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone - decreased by 4.2%. Let’s call that unchanged.

Why is this? I doubt it’s border control to blame . It’s likely DEA working with China/cartels to let drugs in. The DEA could do this and simply push other agencies like border control aside. Lots of tunnels, extortion racket for the deep state.
