With our border disaster worsening by the day, President Joe Biden is throwing up his arms and letting everybody know that no matter’s at fault, it’s not his horrible insurance policies.
His newest nonsense? The declare we’re seeing a border surge as a result of “these individuals are fleeing communism” in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
No: Migrants from these international locations account for 27% of August encounters with Customs and Border Patrol. They’re an rising share of the full — however it will nonetheless be at document ranges with out them.
And the explanation for the surge from all nations is that Group Biden is (in some instances fairly actually) waving migrants in with an unstated promise to make de facto residents of them.
And: Sure, it’s straightforward to see why folks would flee Venezuela and different oppressive international locations. However that brings us to left’s new favourite time period for all these migrants: “asylum seekers.”
Just a few migrants are legitimately looking for asylum. However as soon as they’ve escaped the nightmare of, say, Maduro’s Venezuela, almost all are protected from his oppression with out have to journey 2,000-plus extra miles to get right here.
Overwhelmingly, these of us are looking for higher alternative in america, interval. That’s why the overwhelming majority of asylum claims get denied when (and if) the courts lastly rule on the case.
They’re utilizing Biden’s open-door insurance policies to attempt to soar the road forward of these immigrating legally. “Searching for asylum” is just the loophole they use to do it.
Yet another deception within the combine right here: The left’s widespread claims (together with, sadly, from Mayor Eric Adams) that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and others are by some means deceiving and even forcing migrants onto these buses to NYC, Chicago and so forth. (Some even name it “human trafficking.”)
Ha! Blake Barrow, who heads an El Paso charity working with migrants there (the every day influx of some 1,300 is overwhelming native human providers) simply wrote Biden begging for assist. His letter studies: “Virtually the entire migrants arrive with an thought of an final [US] vacation spot” and “I’m not conscious of anybody being positioned on a bus to New York who didn’t need to go there.” Certainly, roughly a fifth of these his group helps need to get to the Large Apple.
None of this still-growing migrant surge has a lot to do with what’s occurring elsewhere on the earth. It’s a consequence of the left’s lengthy drive to advertise unlawful immigration, adopted by Biden’s choice, from his first day within the White Home, to open the border.
