While Democrats and their cronies in the Fourth Estate refer to Trump’s refusal to accept the outcome of the 2020 presidential election as “THE BIG LIE,” it pales when compared to the BIG LIE that has been perpetrated by President Biden and ignored by his media pals.
Biden’s BIG LIE is a thousand times more deadly. It is a far greater threat to the American Republic than the 6-hour riot on Capitol Hill. It is an assault on American law and American safety. It is comparable to having the invasion of the Capitol Building occur EVERY DAY.
Of course, I am talking about the crisis … catastrophe … on America’s southern border. The failure of the Biden administration to secure the border … to even try to secure the border … is a gross violation of his constitutional duties. The Constitution gives the federal government exclusive responsibility for managing immigration, migrant asylum, and protecting the borders.
In the two years of the Biden administration, there has been an unprecedented exponential number of illegal border crossers – and the worse is yet to come.
Even if you were to accept the exaggerated death toll of the Capitol Hill riot, the number is minuscule compared to the tens of thousands of deaths resulting from Biden’s open borders policy. Some claim that six deaths were attributable to the riot. Millions have died because of our open borders – including THOUSANDS of illegal border crossers (men, women, AND children) and border patrol agents.
The suffering and death witnessed by the border patrol have resulted in a spike in Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome – and a record number of suicides – 40-plus.
Biden’s do-nothing policy has resulted in tons of illegal drugs flooding the country – and killing HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Americans. The unprecedented wave of crime – primarily in America’s major cities is significantly impacted by the influx of drugs and gangbangers coming over the southern border.
Scores of known terrorists have been identified among the migrants. We have already seen what a few – or even one – terrorist can do.
Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens. Americans have been killed in auto accidents by illegal aliens. Law enforcement officers have been killed by illegal aliens.
Thousands of migrants have died along the route and at the illegal points-of-entry. You will recall that at least 51 bodies were found in a trailer truck in San Antonio – and more recently another 42 bodies in a similar situation. Even more gut wrenching are those photos of dead children (one of many appears atop this commentary). The southern American Border is now considered the most dangerous border in the world because of the high death rate. Worse than the deadly Syrian migration during the Obama administration.
While the ensemble of deaths from many causes is emotionally overwhelming, there are all those other non-lethal crimes – the rapes, sex slavery, beatings, child abuse, and lessor crimes being committed on a daily basis throughout the country by ill-intentioned illegal aliens.
Democrats in Washington – and their mouthpieces in the media – push back at calling the situation at the border an “invasion.” The term does not seem so inappropriate when you consider that the Democrat’s open borders policy has resulted in many times more deaths than Putin’s horrific invasion of Ukraine. Ponder that for a moment.
The migrants are not typically a mother and child – as the left likes to stereotype. Most are young single males who will not qualify for asylum under American laws – and a group that represents the highest percentage of got-aways. So far, authorities estimate the got-aways at more than one million – and counting. The got-aways have no intention of seeking asylum, and they are trying to evade authorities since there is a high percentage of the criminal class in those numbers, according to officials.
And what has Biden and the Democrats done to solve the problem? Nothing to stop the problem – but arguably everything possible to encourage the illegal border crossings – including the creation of sanctuary cities, calls for the elimination or defunding of Immigrant and Customs Enforcement (ICE), providing welfare, schooling, driver’s licenses, and even voting rights to Illegal aliens. Not defending the border itself is a green light. Make no mistake, Biden’s and the left’s policy is to ENCOURAGE illegal border crossings – whether that is his intention or not. I vote “intention.”
Biden appointed Vice President Harris to oversee the border crisis. Based on her activities, she must have thought the President said to “overlook the border crisis.” According to the record, she has made one trip to a previously less volatile location on the border — and had a photo-op with Democrat officials and a few migrants. Biden has made none. Since then, that location – El Paso – has become a hot spot.
Biden does not even call it a problem. His Director of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, has repeatedly called the border “secure.” Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has declared as a finality that “Biden has done the job.” It would have been more appropriate if she had said he was “done with the job.” Oh … she did say that.
In a recent FOX interview, White House official Abdulla Hasan actually accused those critical of the Biden open borders policy as being the problem. He said those criticizing Biden on the border issue are aiding the smugglers for “a quick dollar off of vulnerable migrants.” Lies do not have to make sense.
Biden and Democrat leaders in states and cities have stopped cooperation with local police forces that are currently overwhelmed dealing with the huge number of migrants and the increasing crime rates in their communities. Biden never spoke out against those policies – or against sanctuary city proclamations.
Conversely, when Arizona Governor Doug Ducey started to use shipping containers to construct a barrier along unguarded portions of the border, the Biden administration filed a federal lawsuit against him. Incoming Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs has announced her intention to remove the barrier.
The migrants know who is allowing them to enter. Thousands come carrying Biden flags and wearing Biden t-shirts. Many express their gratitude to the American President who entices and allows them to enter.
Certainly, Biden is not reversing any of his enticement policies, but there are lots of other things he is NOT doing. He is not even recognizing the problem or the urgency. Rather than taking proactive action, he is into his favorite game – the blame game.
He says he inherited the problem from Trump – even though Trump was taking a lot of proactive actions to stem the flow of illegal migrants – and in his last year in office, there were less than half a million border crossers …there was a wall being built … and an agreement with Mexico to retain migrants south of the border. Biden has had 1.7 million and 2.7 million in his first two years, respectively – and he has stopped building the wall and ended the policy of staying in Mexico until applications for asylum were vetted.
There are tens of millions of dollars of Trump’s border wall laying on the ground, rusting, because Biden stopped the erection of portions of the wall that have already been paid for.
Biden blames Congress for not taking action. While that is certainly a fair criticism, Biden himself retreats from his role. He has not used his bully pulpit to pressure Congress. He has not proposed any legislation. It increasingly seems that Biden does not want to fix the problem at the border. He wants to maintain an open border.
But why?
It may seem too Machiavellian for even Biden, but critics keep claiming it is a scheme to produce more and more Democrat voters in the future. That may well be why Biden, the Democrats, and the left-wing media are more interested in amnesty than stopping the flow of illegal aliens. Can anyone come up with a more credible theory for the Democrats policy of enticement and open borders? I cannot.
Regardless of the motivation, one thing is perfectly clear. The Biden Democrats have no desire to stem the flow of illegal migrants – nor to address the terrible cost to the American people, in money, lives, and safety.
The claims that the humanitarian crisis at the border is not a problem … is not Biden’s responsibility … there is nothing that can be done … is one very huge gargantuan LIE. And unlike the Capitol Hill riot that was short-lived, the Biden BIG LIE is killing people every day – by the thousands. And without Trump’s Title 42, the problem will get exponentially worse.
Hmmmm. Is Biden overtly interfering with the legal operation of government? Is such a dereliction of Biden’s constitutional duties an impeachable offense? Certainly, the expanding crisis at the southern border is worthy of at least a Select Committee investigation, if not an impeachment inquiry.
I have never liked the use of impeachment for political purposes. That standard has been lowered in recent years. Neither Clinton’s dalliances and fibs – nor Trump’s phone call to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy nor the riot on Capitol Hill – have done as much deadly harm to as many Americans over such a long period of time as has Biden’s open borders policy.
Biden’s unwillingness to protect the border has undermined the rule-of-law – immigration law – and interfered with the functioning of government (sound familiar?). Despite my previous opposition to impeachments, I think a case could be made that Biden is betraying his oath of office for political advantage. It is hard to imagine that Biden’s inaction is merely hapless and not intentional – and not for malevolent reasons.
And Biden’s only response to all of this is lies – BIG LIES. Deadly lies. “It’s not a problem.” “The border is secure.” “It’s Trump’s fault.” “The critics are causing the problem.” “I have done all I can.” “I am working on it.” “It is Congress’ responsibility, not mine.” And every year, hundreds of thousands of people will die – directly or indirectly – on all facets of the crisis because Biden does nothing but lie about it. That is one very tragic BIG LIE.
So, there ‘tis.
