Biden is rejecting the common-sense center on everything from schools to securing border
New York Post ^ | March 6, 2021 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 03/07/2021 5:26:10 AM PST by karpov

It’s truly astonishing how much President Biden in his first weeks has opted to side with his party’s left wing and its special interests — and against even moderate Americans’ desires.

It’s most obvious in his Mexican-border madness: President Donald Trump worked out perfectly reasonable, humane policies that stemmed the record-breaking, Obama-era surges of migrants at the border. Yet Biden has needlessly moved to kill Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” deal and other agreements with Central American nations that were clearly working. Instead, he set up a temporary freeze on deportations and is talking up plans to offer a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.

All of which has encouraged Central American migrants to rush for the US border: Already, the number of children who cross over this year is on pace to break the all-time record by 45 percent. And he’s had to resort to the notorious “cages” to detain kids who crossed without their families, and it’s only going to get worse as summer hits.

Meanwhile, his end to deportations is also prompting a return to “catch and release” — posing a public-health hazard: More than 100 illegal border-crossers released last week had tested positive for the coronavirus, yet still got sprung. And that’s only one of the ways this policy slams border towns.

None of this is common sense: 55 percent of Americans disapprove of Biden’s curb on deportations, and only far-lefties are happy to see the border surge resume.

I agree with the Post's assessment of Biden's policies, but I doubt many Freepers are "astonished".

Progressives believe in policies that impose their objectives regardless of whether those policies are popular with anyone else. All for our own good of course.

The whole premise of this story is that Biden is actually setting policy. He isn’t, the radical lefty Demoncrats are doing that, Biden is a puppet.

Oh, for crying out loud.

BiteMe isn’t rejecting anything.

He’s a sock puppet.

But the NYP can’t bring itself to say Deep State.

Hmmmm, wonder why...

Biden lives in his own little dementia bubble. He should be removed from office. Sadly, I’m not convinced Kamala Harris has what it takes to govern either. This is why elections have consequences. Too bad all those entrusted with ensuring fair elections abdicated their responsibility and are doing their best to turn the US into a banana republic. Unless the King of Heaven steps in, we are screwed...

Agree. Barring some divine intervention I can’t conceive of the USA will fall quickly. Probably overnight financial collapse

And so Kamala gets rid of Joe, picks Nancy as VP; Nancy gets rid of Kamala, picks Hillary as VP; Hillary gets rid of Nancy and Bill becomes First Husband

See?

It’s what Mitch and the GOP wanted - anything but Trump, even though to get not Trump you had to throw out common sense.

Any person who thought Biden or his presidency would do anything moderate is an imbecile.

Not BidenIdiot who is doing the rejecting, it’s his handlers. BidenIdiot to dementia and/or Alzheimer ridden to remotely reject anything cause he can’t think straight, etc. Be for real, it’s his handlers who put the words in BidenIdiot’s mouth, teleprompter, etc. I mean geez, a puppet can’t move it’s own mouth, it takes the hand or finger of the puppet master to move that mouth.......

We are surprised when they claim he has common sense? If we asked him about common sense he would be checking his pockets for spare change. His handlers know exactly what they are doing and they need to be routed

Astonished? I’m not even surprised.

biden made it perfectly clear long before the “election” he intended to be obama’s 3rd term.

Gas just went up another dime, everything else will follow since gas gets it all to the store shelves. I haven’t noticed a serious increase yet, but I do expect it soon.

Stock up canned/dried goods soon. Prices WILL go up.

The part that just seems totally insane is releasing these people into the US, without even bothering to check them for kung flu. And democrats applaud this. They were thinking up all sorts of plans not long ago, and implemented some, to prevent interstate travel of Americans, force them to quarantine once they got to their destination, all sorts of “protective measures” they called them.

Now they cheer as biden sends illegal immigrants he KNOWS are infected, into this country. And he is not announcing their arrival in advance, same thing obama did. They just show up.

This invasion must be stopped. Maybe governors can do something at the state level? I’m not sure. But it is an invasion.

Oh yeah, I just remembered. I saw a picture a couple of days ago of a group of 20 or so illegal immigrants with brand new t-shirts with “biden please let us in” on them, of course in blue and the same font as his campaign nonsense. Just how did these “poor, underpriveledged migrants” *spit* manage to afford brand new t-shirts? Last time I checked political t-shirts were at least 20 - 25 bucks each. These people supposedly came here for a better life because they were destitute and oppressed...so what political organization wasted taxpayer money giving them those shirts? Yeah, I believe it was from donations to a political group...right...

Biden must do what he is told, or his son is in big trouble.
