Biden’s Uvalde Visit Will Be The Closest He’s Been To The Border Since Assuming Office
The Federalist ^ | MAY 27, 2022 | JORDAN BOYD

Posted on 05/27/2022 10:48:05 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

President Joe Biden plans to travel to Uvalde, Texas this weekend to “grieve with the community” following a deadly shooting that left at least 19 elementary school students and two adults dead. It’s the closest Biden will be to the southern border since taking office.

The president is right to visit Uvalde, but there’s no reason he can’t visit the border too, even though he will most likely use his trip to grandstand about restricting Americans’ access to guns. Uvalde is about an hour from illegal immigration hotspots such as Eagle Pass and Del Rio, making them an easy stop for Biden, who hasn’t visited the border in more than a decade, next week.

Despite repeated calls for Biden to physically address the border crisis that he created by repealing Trump-era law enforcement, the White House did not announce any plans for the Democrat’s motorcade to stop at the overwhelmed border.

Deaths at the U.S.-Mexico border, especially involving illegal border crossers, are on the rise after the president and his team explicitly welcomed illegal immigration. While it’s difficult to calculate just how many tragedies have occurred since the Biden administration issued an unofficial gag order to cut off the press from accessing data held by federal officials, recent press coverage suggests that fatalities from drowning, heat exhaustion, and starvation are becoming more frequent.

In 2021, at least 650 migrants died during their attempts to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Many of them succumbed to heat exposure and drowning but others were killed by feuding Mexican cartels.

Tragedies specifically in Del Rio, which is about an hour’s drive from Uvalde, are also on the rise. In the first half of 2021, officials documented a record-breaking 66 deaths among illegal border-crossers. That’s nearly double the lives lost the entire year before.

all kinds of mass murder, mass rape, human trafficking/slavery, etc. going on on both sides of the border because of our open borders allowing cartels to operate and thrive.

The illegal alien inundation has been intentional for 30 years.

Both parties colluded to cheat Trump out to get it going again.

Imagine if the cartels sent someone up for the obligatory Biden speech he’s going to give - “c’mon man, guns are evil” ...but they should really wait for a time when the cackling ho is with him

The families should tell him to stay away. They don’t want the POS to spoil everything.

“..Did he go to Waukesha?...”

JOE: “Ummmmm....no. Don’t think so. What part of the Ukraine did you say that was in??”

The deaths in Waukesha did not involve guns. Automotive homicide is OK, only guns, and particularly “assault rifles” like the AR-15, are truly and heinously evil. Therefore, Joe Stolen only concerns himself with the heinous and evil, for which he seems to have a certain affinity.

Drawn like a moth to a flame...

Afraid someone might want to take him out to
more places besides a school yard or woodshed.

I was thinking that. He’s so close to the border. If he was going to Del Rio, I might have gone there must to greet him with a sign.

He didn’t go where the Christmas parade was run down, because “they didn’t have the resources”. Besides, guns weren’t used.

No journalist has found out if the person of interest is native born or an immigrant.

I hope he will be roundly BOOED as he uses the deaths of their children to further his own political agenda and steal the thunder of their children’s deaths by blabbing about his dead son Beau. I hope the Secret Service will have to whisk that doddering bag of filth into his car and away from the grieving parents.

Will Biden do a Dubya and thank the police for a bang-up job?
