America’s Open Border – Intentionality or Incompetence?
American Thinker ^ | 02/19/2024 | Brian C. Joondeph

It’s clear that America’s open border is an unmitigated disaster, allowing over 300,000 known migrants to enter the U.S. each month. Migrants are arriving from all over the world, including from geopolitical adversaries like China and Afghanistan.

Few are vetted, meaning their health, criminal, education, vocations, literacy, and motivations are unknown. Anyone can ask for political asylum, as they are coached to do. To federal border agents, they are a massive herd of cattle, and it’s all they can do just to get them across the border, feed and hydrate them, and put them on plane to Denver, New York, or Chicago.

There are also an unknown number of euphemistically called “gotaways,” those waltzing into the U.S., not encountering a border agent, then just disappearing somewhere into America’s fruited plains. How many?

CBP reports over 1,000 “known “gotaways” a day. Recently impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledges 600,000 “gotaways” in 2023. These are the “known” ones. How many are unknown? Likely at least as many as known.

In total, this is more than the 3.9 million population of Los Angeles added to America’s welfare rolls each year. American cities are choking under this invasion.

President Joe Biden has the power to stop this at any time. He reversed all of President Donald Trump’s executive orders for building a wall, remaining in Mexico, asylum seeking, and many other measures which gave America a long overdue semblance of a national border. Most other countries have and manage a national border, without being accused of racism and xenophobia.

Biden could, by executive order, revert to Trump policies at any time, but he has not. Congress has been fiddling while American burns, refusing to hold government officials accountable and continuing to fund government agencies

Elon Musk weighed in on non-citizen voting through a series of tweets.

In a recent trio of posts to X, Elon Musk wrote that (1) illegal immigrants “are not prevented from voting in federal elections,” (2) “you don’t need government issued ID to vote,” and (3) Democrats “are importing voters.”

Sen. Dick Durbin has another approach. Noting low levels of military recruitment due to forced vaccinations, wokeness, and a DEI agenda, he recommends the following:

If you are an undocumented person in this country and you can pass the physical and the required test, background test, the like, that you can serve in our military, and if you do it honorably, we will make you citizens of the United States.

How might that work out? According to 60 Minutes, “Chinese migrants are the fastest growing group crossing into the U.S. from Mexico.”

From KanekoaTheGreat on X,

Ex-Director of National Intelligence @JohnRatcliffe warns that Chinese spies are infiltrating the United States through the southern border.

"The fastest growing group they're encountering at our border is coming from our #1 geopolitical adversary, China."

"We had 342 Chinese nationals in 2020. We're at 24,000 and 20,000 in the past two years. That's like a 7000% increase."

"It's not a question of whether the People's Republic of China is sending spies here... it's a question of how many."

Hitler famously never issued orders for the Holocaust. He simply hired people he knew saw things the same way he did and let them do what they (he) wanted.

China’s investment in the Mummified Meat Puppet is paying off nicely.

Of course it’s intentional. From the get-go, Biden bragged he would not build another foot of border fence. It couldn’t be more obvious both parties are hell-bent on letting the entire third world in here.

For Democrat votes.
For cheap labor.
For ethnic power.
To swamp and overtake whites, whom they hate

They’d rather have a country made up of poor, illiterate, easily-controlled people, instead of what they had. If Americans get killed, raped, trafficked, hit by drunk drivers, turned down from emergency rooms, can’t afford rent, see their neighborhoods and schools ruined, die of Fentanyl, etc., etc., oh, well. They’re just Americans.

I can’t believe anyone could even still ask this question. It is so blatantly obvious.

We’re sitting on a powder keg here. Consider: As the weather warms up and several million illegal mexicans, et al. run out of “free” government money and housing and look for other ways to get “free” money, just imagine what will happen. Most of the illegal mexicans, et al. have already committed a crime by breaking into our country, so there’s that to consider.

America’s border and its sovereignty have been destroyed with malice and forethought by our garbage ruling class. Our abuse will only end when we force them to stop by making it too painful for them.

They are making us ‘eat cake’ and we should return the favor.

Is isn’t even a question. The rats have had this planned for years. The next time they got the White House they erase the border. They even ran TV ads in Haiti promising food and housing if they crossed the border.

Oh come on. It is every bit intentional. And dangerously traitorous.

Trouble is coming and it isn’t going to be good at all.

Nope...there's no incompetence whatsoever involved here. Rat Party Headquarters knows *exactly* what they're doing. IMO it's incredibly dangerous for us to underestimate the intelligence or skill of this country's Maoists.

Yes, but it is actually a trick question.

The question overlooks the even more important, perhaps critical fact that not enforcing the border is a violation of an oath to uphold the laws of the U.S. That violation is one few in authority wish to seriously address.

That violation is the core existential issue and better deserves the question, "intentional or incompetence?".
