Writing in the Washington Post, CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria admits Joe Biden’s border crisis and the wider issues with asylum in America are “out of control.” The tone of the article is nothing less than scathing, as American liberals come to grips with the massive numbers flooding the borders after being invited by Biden and the left.
Zakaria even goes so far as to say the Trump administration’s policies were “practical.”
He writes:
Nearly 180,000 people have arrived at the southern border or tried to cross illegally in 2021, more than double as many as in the first two months of 2020. These numbers will increase as it gets warmer. Officials at the border are already overwhelmed.
He blasts the asylum industry:
The truth is the asylum system is out of control. The concept of asylum dates to the years after World War II, when the United States created a separate path to enter the country for those who feared religious, ethnic or political persecution — a noble idea born in the shadow of the United States’ refusal to take in Jews in the 1930s. It was used sparingly for decades, mostly applying to cases of extreme discrimination. But the vast majority of people entering the southern border are really traditional migrants, fleeing poverty and violence. This is a sad situation, but it does not justify giving them special consideration above others around the world who seek to come to the United States for similar reasons — but patiently go through the normal process.

They’re speaking out now because many of these illegals will settle in liberal areas and threaten their gated communities.
Wow! Even I didn’t expect that reaction from the Left.
D U H !
Couldn’t have figured this out last year when he laid out
what he planned to do?
Now we’re stuck with a guy operating at 65-75% cognitive brain
function. (being charitable)

OMG!
Fareed Zacharia gets what Bush League Republicans don’t.
Since our politicians have eviscerated our Constitution, they have whatever rights our politicians say they have.
being charitable............... very.................
Everyone knew this would happen. He had the most secure border ever. And is gonna do this crap for votes. That he won’t be around in another year to get.
Same for US.
Don’t know of any Republicans for this nightmare.
Author fails to mention the high SARS positivity rate.
When even the Washington Compost is alarmed, the populace needs to be very, very scared.
This IS the reason both parties cooperated to cheat Trump out.
They had invested 30 years into a policy of flooding the country with foreigners with no border or interior enforcement expressly to steal the country from the citizens.
We would not vote to give up our sovereignty and subsume our country to the UN, so they are importing people who will.
Flimsey Grahamnesty has voted for THREE amnesty attempts and has already said he will back Biden’s amnesty.
Open your eyes, more than half of the GOP are Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico.
I guess the ‘honeymoon’ is over........................
Yep, and not reliably vote Democrat.
For years I’ve been saying you have “migrants” escaping economic conditions and those escaping political conditions, i.e. Communism.
Guess which ones love the US? And it ain’t the refuse coming up from the south because they are poor.
