Joe Biden is playing voters for suckers. He thinks he can snap up their votes with some sleight-of-hand new policy on the southern border. This all comes cynically as the border is emerging as a major issue in the campaign for president; only 28 percent of voters approve of Biden’s handling of the matter so far, and voters overall mark it as their second biggest concern, after the economy. But why fix anything when you can just fake the rubes out?
Biden took executive action earlier this month to turn away asylum seekers who cross the southern border illegally when the weekly average of daily border crossings exceeds 2,500 between ports of entry (it has exceeded that number consistently since Biden took office, averaging about 4,500.) Administration officials, reports the Hill, “walked a tightrope announcing the order, a forceful but targeted shift on asylum rights — one that administration officials said is not comparable to the Trump administration’s system-wide crackdowns.”
Well, maybe. The president’s decree certainly rhymes with a 2018 Trump policy, invoking the same powers to deny people seeking asylum. Federal courts blocked that one. The ACLU says it will challenge the Biden ban as well.
Otherwise, all well and good—except when you drill down a bit. For the last three years, Biden policy allowed nearly 5,000 asylum seekers to illegally cross the border daily, seven days a week. That number meant the southern border alone produced a million immigrants every 200-odd days, a significant number given otherwise only about 1 million legal green card–type immigrants are allowed into the U.S. each year.

The “no borders” crowd believes illegals should be worshipped as saviors when illegals are destroyers ….. and the “no borders” crowd knows. The only real question is why do these people hate America and Americans ?
Biden may have saved the retaliation against Eric Adams in case he started complaining. Otherwise you have to believe they cooked up the charges ad hoc.
Biden: I see you have a gaping wound. Don’t worry, here is your Band Aid.
Except this “bandaid” is designed to hold the wound open, not to close it, or stop the hemorrhaging— but to prolong it.
Kabuki?
Its criminal.
Deport every one of them.
The expense will cost infinitely more than any wall would have been
