🧵🧵: Joe Biden's making a speech today about the border crisis that he, @SecMayorkas, and the open-borders advocates in his administration have caused.

Expecting lots of blame-shifting and dishonesty. Buckle up...
Well that didn't take long. Biden's already blaming Republicans for not passing his "comprehensive immigration reform," which is just code for amnesty.
Biden claims we don't have enough asylum officers. Well that's a circular argument, because millions more people are coming to the border and clogging up the system thanks to Biden's own policies!
Well that's clever. Biden says he's announcing new measures to deport those without "a legal right to stay." But he's just said that anyone who claims asylum has a right to stay.

In other words, he's telling potential border crossers that claiming asylum is their golden ticket.
Also, why not just return to the safe-third-country agreements we had with Central American governments, wherein anyone seeking asylum say, in Nicaragua, could make it to Guatemala and wait there to have their claim adjudicated?
Joe Biden's solution to the tens of thousands of illegal aliens fraudulently claiming asylum: "Check out this new app!"
Biden's just blaming Congress for inaction.

The reality is that this crisis lies at the feet of Joe Biden. He has signed 90+ executive orders to undo the effective border-security policies in place when he came into office. He's the problem. #BidenBorderCrisis
Biden says, "We can require that [individuals] come here in an orderly way, under U.S. law."

Look at the border at any point in the last two years. Do you think Joe Biden cares about enforcing that mandate?
Wonder why Republicans rejected Joe Biden's amnesty plan? Maybe it's because the catastrophe at the border began essentially the minute Joe took office...

These are CBP encounters by month. They tell a clear story of Biden's border disaster.
Fixing our immigration system is supported by the American people, yes.

Open borders, enriching the cartels, and undermining our national security and sovereignty are not.
Biden says he's going to meet with Border Patrol agents and "make public" the things they say they need.

They've said repeatedly his policies are causing the crisis, and they need to be able to get back on the frontlines and secure the border.
"Republicans haven't been serious about this at all" claims Biden with a straight face.

That's false. Conservatives have put forth a clear agenda. Check it out: foxnews.com/politics/immig…
Did Joe Biden seriously just compare German Jews fleeing the Holocaust to illegal aliens filing illegitimate asylum claims?
Well, that was just another unserious speech by a president who's not only unserious about securing the border, but who purposefully implemented policies that would cause this crisis.

All for a perceived political benefit. #BidenBorderCrisis

👀🧵: NEW numbers obtained by Mark Morgan show some shocking facts about the disaster at the border in December.

To start, Border Patrol saw 226,050 apprehensions. That brings the FY23 total to 640,000+ in just three months--200,000 more than FY2020 total. #BidenBorderCrisis
There's more. When you factor in the "inadmissibles," i.e., those encountered at ports of entry (many of whom are also released into the interior), you're looking at around 300,000 encounters in December.
That means we're looking at more than 857,000 total encounters so far this fiscal year. Again, that's in just *90 DAYS*.

At this pace, that's around 3.5 million encounters this fiscal year.

The #Omnibus will further dismantle border security and dump gasoline on the dumpster fire that is #BidenBorderCrisis

Here’s how 🧵🔽:
It throws money (to the tune of $234M) at state and local detention facilities to collect alien info and provide it to the feds, even though the administration already prohibits ICE from enforcing laws or cooperating with state and local law enforcement regarding criminal aliens.
It gives $20M to FEMA-Federal Assistance for the Alternatives to Detention Case Management pilot program.

This allows the left to gut actual detention while using the façade of detention without tracking the aliens (and also giving even more money to their NGO friends).

🚨🧵: Republicans are about to surrender the leverage to hold Biden accountable without even putting up a fight.

This week, at least 10 Senate Republicans are expected to join democrats to pass a massive $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill in Congress.
Doing so would undermine one of the GOP’s core campaign promises.

When rolling out the “Commitment to America” in September, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., made government accountability a pillar of the plan.
Republicans promised “rigorous oversight to rein in government abuse of power and corruption, provide real transparency, and require the White House to answer for its incompetence at home and abroad.”

The Senate Democrat's guide to passing a $1.7 TRILLION spending package (how-to guide 🧵)

Step 1⃣: Set government funding to expire on Dec. 23, so members have to choose between passing a bad bill or staying in D.C. over Christmas.
Step 2⃣: Stuff the bill with as many of the Biden administrations failed policies as possible.
Step 3⃣: Make backroom deals and with lame duck Republicans (and include lots of earmarks) to get them on board.

The Biden administration’s radical Department of Education Title IX guidance tied up in federal court, but that's not stopping congressional Democrats from pushing a bill that would codify the administration’s gender ideology agenda. 🧵⤵️
The so-called Students’ Access to Freedom and Educational Rights (SAFER) Act locks the administration’s harmful gender ideology rules into law, while also lowering the standard of proof for sexual assault cases and rewriting decades-old civil rights laws.
This bill is horrible because it rejects biology, threatens important protections for women and girls, and removes critical due process protections for college students.
