Here’s some news that should surprise no one: President Trump’s homeland security and border officials warned the Biden transition team that they would be creating a massive border crisis if they dismantled Trump’s work.
And this was career bureaucrats within the agency, not trump appointees and I think you know the distinction. But...appointees are political. They are overseeing the administration’s priorities...and so, of course trump appointees are going to have a different view from Biden’s...and so their opinion isn’t going to mean much during the transition.
But the career bureaucrats and agency heads who really run the operation-and do not change- administration to administration- carry more weight. They are the ones responsible for securing the border and stopping the drug cartels-regardless of who is president. Correct?
And so....Stephen Miller, Trump’s former ‘point man’ on immigration, made it clear on twitter yesterday: our career border and national security people- told Biden’s transition team- don’t undo Trump’s work-you will touch off a crisis.
This was on ABC with George Stephanopoulos. And Biden only said that...at George’s prompting. We have the audio.
Stephanopoulos has to prompt him to say ‘don’t come’....and then...in sort of a garbled sentence that comes next...Biden again! Says...don’t come now. We need to prepare first.
This absolutely sends the message-and makes it clear- you will be able to get in, soon. Not now. But soon.
That stupid little hedge-is so dishonest-and so self-defeating.
If Biden and his team really didn’t want a rush across our border...they would say: don’t come. Full stop.
Don’t come. The border is closed. Full stop.
Don’t add anything. Don’t go out of your way to give them future hope.
In fact, don’t say anything that gives the rest of the world even a -sliver- of hope or daylight- that they can get in if they come.
That’s the way the Biden regime would be handling this if they didn’t want this crush at our border.
But listen.
Every time. Every time. One of Biden’s team says ‘we are telling people not to come’...it is followed by ‘yet’. Don’t come ‘yet’.
Well-of course that’s a dog whistle to start the trek.
Kevin McCarthy, the GOP house leader, was just down at the border...and said on Fox News...Biden and his team are encouraging this...with their actions and their rhetoric.
REP. MCCARTHY: WHY ARE UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN WALKING TO THE BORDER? BECAUSE BIDEN TOLD THEM TO COME
And if it’s not Biden-it’s his minions.
I said that Alejandra Mayorkas was such a terrible pick for homeland security secretary that the republicans should block his appointment, but they didn’t, several republicans were stupid enough to vote for him..
And so...he’s an Obama era hold over who favors open borders...who is now allegedly in charge of controlling this border....and McCarthy pointed out how he’s been lying.
McCarthy spent some time with border agents and mayors and speaking to people along the border and says....Joe Biden can’t even be bothered to go there and check it out. He’s got no idea what sort of horror stories he has created down there, by reversing trump’s orders.
We got a number yesterday on the total number of immigrant children that crossed without adults that our government is now holding in some facility or another, as they try to match them up with relatives or sponsors here in America.
That number is thirteen thousand. And most of them are at least teenagers, but a sizable number are small children. Listen to McCarthy again.
Parents desperate to have their children become American citizens-or at least be allowed to stay and grow up in this country instead of their ‘crap’ one...are pushing their children- even very small children- across our border and across the Rio Grande. Just find an adult when you get over there...
It’s heartbreaking. But it also speaks to how certain the rest of the world is that Americans, and the American government, are so kind and caring, that we are going to take care of their children and work to reunite them with family members or sponsors here.
This is what a great and caring country we are living in.
And none of us want to see children suffer, or to be used as pawns in these border wars. But Joe Biden’s actions here, and his administration’s rhetoric, is also leading to all sorts of children being abused and mistreated and even taken as human slaves in the sex trafficking industry.
All because the lefties felt they had to make at some point about Trump...and reflexively do the opposite of what he was doing.
Well Trump looks even better now, as a Rasmussen poll shows that 73 percent of Americans including about half of democrats are alarmed about Biden’s changes at the border. Over 50 percent say they oppose the amnesty for illegals that Biden and Pelosi are pushing to give them and one in three Americans strongly opposes it.
The Dem agenda on immigration and the border is as unpopular as it ever has been with the American people...and now trump can say...’ bureaucrats I told you so’.
Trump: Biden Border Crisis Will Get Much Worse, "Like You've Never Seen"
And about the gaps in the border wall: Trump says ‘finish it’.
The construction crews really were forced to drop their tools immediately, and not even install final fences or close up small gaps in certain stretches...
And i said at the time: this is an illegal move by the Biden administration. Contracts have been doled out, materials have been delivered, and congress approved most of it. The federal government entered into binding agreements with contractors and suppliers-those need to be seen thru.
Biden’s order to stop work immediately, and not even allow for a wind down or a completion of existing work- violates the law.
I pointed it out on inauguration day.
