Shortly before Christmas last year, Susan Rice and Jake Sullivan, two top advisers to President-elect Joe Biden, sat for an interview with EFE, a Spanish wire service, to issue a stark warning to migrants considering journeying north to the nation’s southern border: Don’t come now — but help is on the way.
The next day, Biden was similarly pointed, saying his administration — while eager to roll back Donald Trump’s immigration policies — first needed to implement “guardrails” to avoid winding up with “2 million people on our border.”
Less than a month later, the new president began tearing down some of the guardrails himself. He issued five immigration executive orders on Inauguration Day alone and promised an immigration policy far more humane and welcoming than that of his predecessor. His administration also began allowing unaccompanied minors into the country, a marked departure from the Trump administration’s approach.
Now, the Biden administration is scrambling to control the biggest surge in 20 years, with the nation on pace for as many as 2 million migrants at the southern border this year — the outcome Biden said he wanted to avoid.
Along with the existing struggle to combat the coronavirus, immigration has emerged as one of the administration’s most urgent challenges — seized on by Republicans as a political cudgel, posing risks to Democrats in the 2022 midterms and potentially undermining Biden’s governing agenda. The issue also threatens to overshadow the president’s recent political victories in passing a $1.9 trillion covid relief package and making rapid strides in vaccination efforts.
The situation at the border — which Biden and his advisers steadfastly refuse to call a crisis — is the result of an administration that was forewarned of the coming surge, yet still ill-prepared and lacking the capacity to deal with it.

Our enemies are seizing advantage fr the bumbling fools across the board. China, Russia, Cartels, Korea Slipping Joe is unfit and his entire administration is a gaggle of leftist idiots pushing their pet agendas at the expense of our nation.
No. It’s all Trump’s fault. He was so mean./s
“Humane”. I don’t think they know what that word means.

The article, in spite of what criticism it does offer, still tries as hard as it can to not blame Biden.
Or as Xiden calls her, President Harris. Effin idiot pos
It should read REFUSAL to contain the surge. Or,better still,their ENCOURAGEMENT of the surge!!!!
This is all serades. Why hasn’t the governor of texas sent the national gaurd to the border? The enemy is using children, how sick is that? Afraid of how it will look when the shooting starts? Throw a few concussion grenades, light up the crossing points at night,.build the wall. Or send in my HOA to govern the area.
“‘No end in sight’: Inside the Biden administration’s failure to contain the border surge”
Failure to contain?
In order to “fail”, you first have to TRY!
Not only are they not “trying to contain”, they are doing everything they can to encourage and prevent containment.
They want as many illegals as possible to work their collective farms.
I have ALWAYS said that the number one and root cause of ALL of our problems is the FAKE MEDIA.
Cloward-Piven.
Political correctness prevents problem solving.
“No end in sight’: Inside the Biden administration’s failure to contain the border surge..”
They don’t want to contain it. Just the opposite.
The ChiComJoe kakistocracy is guilty of giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. The RINOcrats are complicit in such treason.
It’s not a failure - it’s a feature.
Forewarned? The administration CAUSED the surge.
Yep, this is exactly what El Presidente and his comrades want.
Right back to the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)
This IS why BOTH parties cheated Trump out.
The By-dumb administration is facilitating the trafficking of children. How is that any less heinous than Epstein’s crimes?
