Here’s the bottom line everyone needs to understand about the #BidenBorderCrisis before the presser: the crisis would end instantly if Biden just turned back on the Trump policies he shut off. He turned the Border Patrol from a law enforcement agency into a resettlement service.
The Biden Admin’s position on the border rush is internally contradictory. They say it’s an asylum crisis — even though there is no government persecution in the Northern Triangle — and yet they say the solution is economic stimulus (acknowledging it’s an economic migration).
Billions of people in the world live in countries that are poor, have high crime rates, or both. There is no amount of taxpayer cash Biden can spend to make the quality of life in these countries so safe & prosperous no one wants to illegally migrate to the US.
Ironically, many people in the U.S. live in cities with higher crime than countries that border-crossers are leaving. Biden is not offering these citizens a resettlement package to the city of their choice. Instead, he’s bringing in low-wage workers to drive down their wages.
Unless Biden reverses course, implements Trump’s proven strategy, and returns border-violators, the crisis will only grow worse. The smuggling of people, drugs and contraband will only increase. You can have a nation, or you can have catch-and-release, but you can’t have both.
