Biden officials don’t want to call it a crisis, but the challenge, matter of concern, situation, or whatever euphemistic term they are applying to the border today is running out of control.
DHS has warned of potentially the biggest wave of migrants in two decades, and the number crossing the border has doubled since January.
The surge is especially pronounced among minors. The number of minors crossing every day has tripled since the end of last year and is on a pace to set a record this month. More than 8,500 minors are currently in HHS shelters, with 3,500 waiting in Border Patrol facilities designed for adults where they are only supposed to spend 72 hours but are staying longer.
The Biden administration has opened up one tent city and is planning more. And it has eliminated the social-distancing guidelines that had limited how many migrants could be kept in shelters.
Indications are that parents are sending the minors — and sometimes traveling with them up to the border and then splitting up — in the belief that they will gain entry into the United States and never leave.
This is a well-founded belief. Only about 4 percent of minors who have come to the United States in recent years have been returned home. They are released to relatives in the U.S., who are also likely to be illegal immigrants, and even if they are eventually ordered removed, we don’t have the resources or the will to see that it happens.
The latest border surge is entirely Biden’s doing. That his rhetoric and policies would create a new crisis was predictable, and indeed, it was predicted.
Bad court decisions, foolhardy practices, and at least one law with major unintended consequences had made it almost impossible to keep Central American family units and unaccompanied minors from gaining entry to the U.S. largely never to leave again. Even President Trump, who won election in 2016 in large part on a promise to control the border, saw the border get swamped in 2018 and 2019 when he wasn’t able to quickly return illegal immigrants home.
But the Trump administration eventually got a handle on the crisis. It tightened up the asylum rules that were abused by bogus asylum-seekers to gain entry into the United States. He worked with Mexico to create the Migrant Protection Protocols, or Remain in Mexico policy, that kept migrants in Mexico while their asylum claims were processed in the U.S. It forged so-called safe-third-country agreements with Northern Triangle countries to provide migrants claiming persecution in their home country an opportunity to claim asylum in another Central American country.
Even prior to the pandemic, the migrant flow had slowed considerably. Finally, with the onset of COVID, the Trump administration used Title 42 of the Public Health Safety Act to exclude all migrants.
None of this, it is worth noting, involved the family separations that came with “zero tolerance,” a policy that was quickly reversed.
Now, the Biden administration is reversing many of the Trump policies. It has created an exemption from Title 42 for minors. This, of course, has created an enormous incentive for minors to show up at the border. And it has ditched MPP, thus throwing away a tool for allowing only deserving asylum-seekers into the U.S. rather than waving everyone in regardless of the merits.
It is galling that, while deliberating undoing the Trump policies that were shown to work, the Biden team is claiming that the current crisis is a function of having to rebuild from scratch an immigration system trashed by Biden’s predecessor. There are all sorts of euphemisms that can be applied to this claim, but it isn’t remotely true.
Just don’t know how we handle this mess. The border states have to step up to counteract Biden’s policies!
This is a very disturbing trend by the O’Biden administration…..create a crisis then spend all American’s money trying to cover it up. Who is really hurt by this irresponsible action? It is the unaccompanied minors, that’s who. Who is going to take care of these young people? When are they going to fall through the proverbial cracks? How many are going to be victims of abuse and trafficking? O’Biden does not give one hoot about these people, and Pelosi stands in front of the cameras and just lies through her teeth, saying that Sleepy Joe cares deeply for these illegal immigrants. This is just the continuation of the power grab. It is the most disgusting show of failed policies in several decades. The Marxist left is behind the control of Dementia Joe…. When is this going to end?
I think the state’s are going yo to intervene. Because I don’t believe that Biden will do anything about the situation. It is not about safety of the American people. It about political doing everything that President Trump put in place.
Those are all potentiasl Democratic voters! SInce there is a big effort to allow just about anybody to vote, Republicans don’t have a chance.
This is all by design- to overwhelm our agencies and bankrupt our finances. All spelled out in the “Rules for Radicals” book by Alinski! Started in earnest by O’Blammo. “The Great Reset” is under way, and we should be very afraid because it will be ugly. Do some research!
I believed in Capitalism. I believe in our people. I also believe that greed was the road followed by those that could affect our politicians, big business leaders, their shareholders and everyone else who worshiped greed instead that brought us to this brink. The chance of us coming back shrinks everyday because our moral compass does not exist for those in power and influence.
We are in serious trouble, we have a mentally-challenged “President ” in office.. Our only hope is to take the House or Senate in 2022. God help us.
Speaking from first hand experience living and working as a LEO in Southern Arizona, every time there is a libtard in the White House things get dangerous here. During the BO administration I had actual cartel mules knock on my door and offer me $1,000.00 cash to drive them to Phoenix. I have also gone to my garage to go to work at 4:00 AM and found over 12 illegal’s in there sleeping.
These lib-tards have no clue what it is like to be woken up in the middle of the night by someone knocking on the back door, only to see a large group of illegals there. During BO’s administration I was told by the then Sheriff during a meeting the Pinal County Sheriff’s office had an average of one shootout with cartel members per week.
During a libtards term I have had things stolen, damaged, illegals attempting to break into my house all the while being told ‘The borders are safer than ever.’ In AZ we have had cartel hit-crews operating in the major cities, at times pretending to be the police. Several years ago on I-8 there was a cartel rip-squad impersinating the Highway Patrol, uniforms squad and all.
During the BO Adminstration I also witnessed several buses unloading illegals at the Phoenix Greyhound station. Most were no older than teens. Also during BO’s administration a group of Mexican Army vehicles were captured 18 miles North of the border near Yuma. They were fully armed WITH GPS! They claimed they got lost and were returned no harm, no foul.
Things were about the same during slick Willies term, as well as chicken ^&*# Carters term. Oddly enough, during Regan, Bush 1 & 2 and especially Trump’s presidencies problems like this were very few and far between.
Border crisis? What border crisis?
Wait till the Caravan start up again.
Biden doesn’t have the fortitude or stamina to stop the invasion.
Be prepared!
Texas is going to complete the border wall. I believe Arizona is onboard as well. States are fighting back because our National Security is at risk with illegals coming in with covid. Mexico is screaming now as their crime rate has escalated. Time for them to reinstate President Trump’s immigration policies. Don’t allow them in Mexico.
We are FORCED to contribute our earnings to the political lairs, whores, and thieves that call themselves a congress. Then they waste it. They continue to push patriots to a defensive stand !!!
Sane people are tired if this $hit !!!
$28T in debt, the additional $1.9T uber-pork laden boondoggle and this vacuous puppet and his communist string pullers are deliberately killing this country and ignoring its citizens in order to crush our status on the world stage. This is tyrannical treason at its worst. Every individual, that is an American citizen, involved in this atrocity needs to be charged with treason. But ultra-leftist and complete idiot, merrick garland is now the country’s AG. SCOTUS has made the judicial branch moot. Sadly, I expect nothing except the collapse of the U.S. into a Venezuelan type crap hole. You know, the country that recently started printing 1,000,000 Bolivar notes that are literally worth 53 cents-US. This will never be remedied while these fascists are pulling the strings. Nuff said…
Close the borders! If Biden wants to let illegals in, then he can pay for it all by himself!! Illegals need to understand that when you enter the USA, you are NOT entitled to any benefits all all! You must become a legal citizen and get a honest.paying job! No freeloaders or handouts here!!
I really liked one person’s phrase for commenting on someone’s statement when it is obviously not a description of what we see: why does he have to make stuff up????? I like that better that making a statement that something said is a “Lie.” and I like asking the question (not making a direct judgment). Some way we have to stand up for what is right without shutting down the conversation.
Texas is taking steps to protect its border and not leaving it to (federal) border patrol.
Only 9% of the 1.9 trillion will go to the people. The other 91% is for pork spending and stuffing into the pockets of democrats that want the rest of us to beg for crumbs. Its not just Biden. Harris is waiting to climb on board to get her digs in and there is a big chance her claws are longer than Joe’s.
This is NOT the America I want to spend my golden years in.
Once there was HOPE under the OBAMBOOZLE regime…
We had FAITH that Trump would put America First…
It would be a CHARITY case if Dr. Kevorkian were available to treat BOZO BEJING BIDEN and laughing HYENA HARRIS
2024 can’t come fast enough… because 46 will “Deep Six” America
So disturbing to see how no one speaks of this on main stream media. Our Commander in Chief has dementia ( I know, my mother has advanced Alzheimer’s , and it’s sad to watch his quickly progressing mental status and the media just holds him up like a puppet…. 51 days and NO press conference…. other nations are laughing!
We the People are irrelevant to Jackass Joe’s administration. He doesn’t seem to care whether American people or American small businesses matter. He, the Progressively Communist Democratic Party and their Mainstream Medidiot cohorts lie constantly! Government by the People, for the People doesn’t exist in their eyes. If they run the Government, then THEY RULE! Red States MUST rebel against Progressively Communist Democratic rule! If not, America’s freedoms guaranteed to We the People by OUR Constitution and Bill of Rights will disappear and Communism will reign!!! … At 73, I choose to fight!
Gee! Did anyone really expect Biden and his puppet master handlers would actually deal with the border problem in any rational manner? Of course not!
As I have mentioned in a previous post, President Bidumb and his Demshevik handlers subscribe to the proposition that if one throws enough gasoline on a raging fire, eventually the fire will be doused! Case in point is the border problem where illegals crossing into the US has grown to the level of an invasive infestation of monolithic proportions and which will be expected to continue as an unabated tsunami. Carried to its logical solution, sooner or later there will be Standing Room Only within our borders.
Biden’s epitaph in history will be titled “Biden the Inept” along with some subtitles such as “The Great Demented One” or “25th Amendment Joe” ad nauseum.
President Trump (our true President, now in exile) is the only President who has effectively dealt with the immigration issue in the last 50 years. Guess we will have to wait until 2024 for President Trump to become our President again to turn this mess around for a second time. MAGA needs to become America’s permanent philosophy and guiding principle.
Great job, Joe. Just where do you plan to plunk these non-English speaking illegals? We know who you expect to pay the bill to house them and provide them with food, medical care and the other costs that you naturally expect to be saddled on our already-bent taxpayer backs. It makes no difference to you or your Commicrat friends who are in power that more Covid-carriers, MS-13 gangsters, criminals, ISIS members, and others who expect us to take care of them will in your twisted minds somehow “improve” our nation. Hell…why don’t you just go all the way and allow everyone in the world to come in with no questions asked?
Most of those “minors” actually qualify as young adults, not children.
Repent and believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ
SOP for Democrats.
First create the crisis. In this case, Biden signed EO to revoke everything President Trump put in place at the southern border and with South American countries to stop sending their uneducated or undesirables to the United States.
Then they start talk of amnesty and a pathway to citizenship for illegals, so that encourages mass inflows of illegals. All with the promise of lots of “free stuff”, which the American taxpayer pays for.
Then they say it is NOT a crisis, but just a problem. They get the MSM to focus on the semantics of crisis versus problem. Lots of useless articles are generated that focus on this unimportant distinction. All while thousands of illegals continue to swarm across the border into our country each day. Where they are then quickly released and shipped, at taxpayer expense, all over the country. Seeding the country with more future Democrat voters once the Democrats ram through “comprehensive immigration reform” (amnesty and a quick path to citizenship for the over 40 million illegals already here as of the end of 2019).
That about sums up all the important points you need to know. The rest is noise. Learn to focus on the important stuff and ignore the distractions or noise put out by the Democrats and the MSM.
This administration has made a big mess of everything. I really don’t know if it can ever be straightened out.
If they were all sent to Wilmington, DE – the “challenge” would be solved.
The Democrats are doing this intentionally!! Note that at the same time we are seeing another flood of illegals the Democrats are again pushing amnesty for the millions of people in our country illegally already. The Democrats know that rewarding lawbreaking encourages more of it, and the more illegals we get that are eventually given amnesty (lured as well by our overly generous welfare benefits) the Democrats grow their voter base. The desire is a one-party state that is permanently under the thumb of a tyrannical group of leftists at the loss of our liberty. If they get their way, the individual freedom our country is based upon will be lost forever, and we the people are the losers.
Illegal aliens are coming here to ESCAPE SOCIALIST OPPRESSION! WHY ARE THEY HELPING CREATE THE SAME FORM OF OPPRESSION HERE? WE NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT THAT THEY WILL BE USED THE SAME WAY BLACKS WERE USED UNTIL THEY WISED UP AND LEFT THE “PLANTATION”, the socialists will use them to get control and then ABANDEN THEM LIKE THEY DID BLACK VOTERS WHEN THEY HAD NO MORE USE FOR THEM, MAGA!!! ONLY ALLOW LEGAL IMMIGRATION AND BRING IN THE HONEST HARDWORKING PEOPLE TO ADD TO THE STRENGTH OF AMERICA.
Texas is making noises as if they will stand up to the Democrat Elites. America better hope so.
All illegals benefit thru the SS. All class lower than the elites are the the ones paying for keeping the illegals in housing(less for legals) and food(less $$ for legals) and higher taxes for legals. Political Elites have accountants that exclude them from taxes. Or they simply just do not pay them. So America looses its identity as a great place while the Politicians secure their $$$ and positions in the world. NOT America. They could care less for America. Since they can win every election with the new voting reg. and machines… America is a lost depressing place. Just like Europe. There is only one free place yet…America. It needs to be protected and fought for. Especially if it is to be Christian…or a spiritual place. ps: We are suppose to be ‘world citizens’ not ‘Americans’…….
I am fed up with all comments on here that are so NEGATIVE, too many people have surrendered without a fight, THAT IS NOT THE AMERICAN WAY OF DOING THINGS, “WE THE PEOPLE ” ARE STILL THE GOVERNMENT, WE JUST NEED TO REMOVE THE SELF SERVING, GREEDY, CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND MAKE SCOTUS DO ITS DUTY!!
First let me start off by giving everyone a piece of info, this is the official definition right from an old friend and former CIA officer,
“Conspiracy Theory’ / Theorist : Term created by the United States Government to undermine the credibility of a person or group of persons credibility in the event their knowledge of a certain instance or occurrence could in some way shape or form disprove the Official story ~
Now at the cost of sounding like on of these” take the time to research Davos, World Economic Forum & Agenda Twenty One, which has been ramped up to Agenda 2030 and kicked into over drive to achieve their goals, a name you will come across throughout you’re reading will be Klaus Schwab, this guy makes Evil seam like child’s play~
With this information in hand ” If you take everything you see and read to date globally and look at it collectively you’ll see that it all falls in line with the aforementioned, Folks it’s been in the works for decades!
how about somebody bus these immigrants to washington … maybe they can climb THEIR fence, or at least knock on THEIR door. so unfair to Americans … so NOT putting America first!
A person could really get depressed over the goings on in USA & WW. The calamity and carnage is massive. DC; high metal fences, military and wire; like a third world take over, Oregon; burning’s riots, madness, Minnesota; people in the Floyd area have been terrorized for many months; pure insanity, Arizona-shredded ballots; border issues, Texas border; Covid illegal, children by the hundreds flooding into US, BS, Propaganda daily in MSM, Genetic Modification Tool being called a vaccine, when it’s an experimental jab, that will forever change the person’s immune system. So many possibilities of side effects you’ll never know if it was the Jab that killed you or just what. Full Year after Mask mandates people still comply despite the massive proof mask are doing more harm than good. Deaths in mask mandated states nearly double the death in non mandated states. Bill Gates and Bezos buying up farm land by the thousands of acreas, fake meat and food, GMO, Chemicals, plans to control our Food supply, already on the way controlling our Freedoms, and Medical choices, money invested to control and Block the Suns Rays and Climate Controls. Most all the MSM is completely controlled by three main ones at the top, and has been so since early 1900’s. Schools, Colleges, Churches, Governments, Politicians, Judges/Courts Corrupt. Who knows if the Police or Military are on the Good or bad side. That’s barely the tip of the iceberg, floating under the cold deep Blue Waters.
Hell Obama did prior Trump, whats the issue with Dems then?
Harming the cartels, Hell the cartels can take any Dems out any time.
See 35 in ’63,
Offending cartels then?
The Radicalized Far Left Demoncrat Socialist Party along with the Deep Dark State are doing whatever they can to Destroy Our Economy and Our True America !!! They are Allowing A Great Multitude Of Illegal Immigrants to Flood Into America who Are Sick, Criminals and Terrorists and with No Means Of Support !!! They have passed this Voluminous “Corona Virus”, With All The Pork Contained within it, Saying It Will Save Our Economy, When It Will Further Their Agenda To Destroy America !!!!
Wake Up America, We Are In Very, Very Serious and Dire Danger From Within Washington, DC (District of Monumental Danger, Corruption and Tyranny) With O’Biden/Obama, Harris, Pelizzy, Schumer and all the rest of them, Plus China !!!! This Is Why They have now Fenced Our National Capital, surrounded by Military Guards !!!! This Is Why They Want To Defund Our Police Departments !!!! This Is Why They Want To Take Away Our Guns, Which Will Only Encourage The Further Growth Of Crime and Terrorist Activities, as they could care less about any Anti-Gun Laws !!!! We Become Defenseless Against Furthering Their Evil Agenda Upon We The People and Our True American Values !!!!
The Spring season comes the 21st day of March and for Mexicans also a public holyday as Benito Juarez Birthday as a president an a national hero is known “The Reformer and creator of the democratic federal republic of Mexico.” — As Mexicans loves Juarez for his old folks word of wisdom. “Among individuals as among nations the respect for the others rights is peace.” _-The Golden Rule, of Juarez. But now more Mexicans are ignoring one of their own, yea! “the man no wander history have a recognition and calling Benito Juarez the benefactor of the Americas.” Why He is ignoring for so many? As Mexicans and Latin Americans presidents, politicians and for those…trespassers to com and enter-illegally to, The United States of America. Why those ignore and forget Juarez say-it? And I am no wander president Donald J. Trump say. “The right of a nation it’s to have boundaries, because without our borders we have no nation.”
Americans have watched as domestic enemies in high places within our gates have weakened and contaminated our society, cultural values, economic health and national security with their clever scams and schemes labeled with innocent and politically correct names. As a result, America has bow become soft, compliant and gullibly obsessed with the gadgetry and mesmerizing addiction of the social media wasteland. We are simply reaping what we have allowed to be sown as we squandered a legacy so dearly purchased and preserved by our forebears. Shame on us…
The Xao Bai Din regime is separating children from their parents. Where’s the outrage from LIEberals? Trump never separated children, yet the demon-communist-cRATS accused him of it. Trump was also accused of putting kids in cages when it actually was obama and now biden. The lies and hypocrisy from the LIEberals is overwhelming.

About 10 years ago, I volunteered with a church group that offered free English lessons, and free lunch, every Saturday. A group refused to come in for classes, chain-smoked at the door, left a mess, and practically knocked everyone over to get the free food. The church finally hired a guard. Didn’t take a genius to figure out the bottom feeders were.
BDB (brain dead bi den) is Charlie McCarthy. Who is/are Edgar Bergen?
These are are not Biden policies. The President of the United States doesn’t even know what day it is. He is a stooge, a tool carrying out the radical left’s agenda.
Put the people entering illegally ,on a bus and let them stay safely behind the barbed wire fence at the capital (Capital building). The unfair problem put on our Southern states is sorely unfair. As long as Washington doesn’t have to deal with this in their own backyard , the crisis won’t end. President Trump worked so hard to humanly fix our border, and it was working.
I want to know where all the illegal immigrants are going to be housed in this country. Do they intend us to move out and bring them in. Joe Biden and his administration are not in their right minds to do this to the country. Senator McCarthy and several other senators are going to call for the President to step down from his call to open the borders and I hope they are successful in their attempts to get them closed.
Joyce – come on, don’t be so ignorant – WE are paying for their “housing, food, clothes and schools (probably making it all be done in THEIR native language)…at a cost to you and me…WE may not be able to get food (I must eat toast sometimes 3x per day instead of a real meal) – it is why there will be no SS for the workers of today in another 15-20 years, why OUR children won’t get lunches at school, why OUR kids won’t get new shoes for the school year, why OUR children won’t get school supplies GIVEN to them…and on and on…AND Joyce & others…NOTHING WILL STOP BIDEN and his selling the US to foreigners except BIDEN’s IMPEACHMENT for being an ABSOLUTE TRAITOR against the LEGAL US CITIZENS!!!
Like it or not, we get what we vote for and this time we voted for the destruction of America. We no longer have values that are even worth mentioning. Plod on Democrats and union lovers. This is YOUR new America, soon to be a stepchild of China. Never thought I would write this, but Europe is looking better every day. Sad, but very true.
I did not vote for Biden. I knew what would happen if he was elected and now it is happening. Good bye, USA, as we have known it.
I would guess since covid people are coming in that we will next have the Biden Virus?
