Joe Biden sold himself to the country as a “moderate” who would bring healing and unity to our country. However, less than a month into his presidency, it is clear that Biden’s overarching objective is to enact a far-left-agenda as quickly as possible, and the 75 plus million Americans who disagree with him are none of his concern.
Biden has no interest in negotiating bipartisan legislation, as designed by the founding fathers. Rather, he has chosen to subvert the legislative process to jam through a Bernie Sanders and the “Squad” approved agenda.
Evidencing Biden’s disinterest in unification is the 50 plus and counting Executive actions he has signed. One of the major changes that Biden has made by executive fiat is to immigration policy.
Unfortunately, the predictions that Biden would implement an “Open Borders’ policy have been proven prescient. Biden’s directives have functionally ended immigration enforcement.
With the stroke of a pen, Biden has stopped almost all deportations for at least 100 days. Incredibly, under this directive, even many who have committed dangerous and violent crimes will not be deported.
Despite its effectiveness, or perhaps because it has been effective, Biden has also decreed cessation of construction on the border wall. As a result, not only will our nation be less secure, but billions of American tax dollars already spent for work not yet completed on the Wall, will be lost forever.
Biden has also abrogated the Migrant Protection Protocols, often referred to as the “Remain in Mexico” policy that Trump negotiated with the Mexican government. This policy, which effectively solved the humanitarian crisis at the border, required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico pending their asylum hearing.
As a result of our immigration laws, the end of this program will mean a return to the dangerous policy known as “Catch and Release”.
Not only will unvetted migrants who cross our border be welcomed into the United States they will also be legally allowed to work in the U.S., competing for jobs with Americans, while awaiting their immigration hearing. There is currently a backlog of 1.1 million asylum seekers residing in the U.S. Consequently, it can take more than three years to receive a hearing. Further, last week the Biden administration announced that 25,000 foreign nationals waiting in Mexico for an asylum hearing, will be allowed into the U.S. to join the 1.1 million to await their hearing
These changes have effectively given the radical left something they have been pining for- the dismantling of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Border Patrol agents’ purpose will no longer be to protect our nation’s security and sovereignty. it will be processing and caring for those illegally trespassing into our country. Biden is also expected to make illegally breaching our borders no longer a crime.
Many uneducated, impoverished, and possibly violent foreign nationals south of our border have perceived this unilateral rewriting of our immigration laws as an open invitation to come to the U.S.
Let’s not forget that Biden has also promised to provide U.S. taxpayer-funded health care insurance to illegal immigrants. He has also expressed support for children of illegal immigrants to receive Covid relief checks.
According to multiple reports, thousands of Central American migrants are heading to our border because of the changes to immigration policy cavalierly made by Biden. According to one migrant among the caravan of thousands traveling to our border,
“Biden, he’s going to help all of us. He’s given us 100 days to get to the U.S. and give us ‘legalment’ paper.”
Under Biden’s presidency, border crossings have ticked up to 3,500 a day from 2000 just a month ago.
The number of refugees the U.S. will accept has also exponentially increased, per Biden. Under the Trump administration 15,000 refugees, annually were granted entry into our country. Biden has upped that number to 125,000. Moreover, the Biden administration has proposed weakening screening and vetting for immigrants and refugees coming to the U.S.
More than 50 House Republicans recently warned Biden about the impending crisis at the border due to the changes he has made to immigration law. The lawmakers warned that:
CBP has already encountered over 200,000 illegal migrants since October, and numbers are rising. For context, in the first three months of fiscal year 2020, CBP encountered 128,347.”
However, the Biden administration appears to be fully aware of the flood of migrants expected to be crossing over our borders and is taking no measures to stop them. Rather than attempt to prevent what will most likely be a redo of the humanitarian crisis from a couple of years past, they are preparing to welcome them. The Biden administration recently announced the opening of two facilities in Texas for the sole purpose of processing and caring for the soon-to-be influx of illegal immigrants.
Tom Homan, the former acting director of ICE. told “Fox & Friends” last week that Biden
“has declared the entire country a sanctuary jurisdiction”.
According to Homan, “95% of the criminals ICE. has arrested are now off the table” for deportation. Homan added that.
“people will die, people will be raped, people will be victimized by criminals that shouldn’t even be here. It’s coming.”
Biden has also vowed to: allocate $4 billion of American taxpayer dollars to invest in Central America, to grant a shortened pathway to citizenship to the 11 million-plus illegal immigrants already in the U.S., to extend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, to include non-citizens in the U.S. census, to reverse Trump’s order to suspend federal funding to “sanctuary cities”, and he has reversed the Trump administration’s policy of barring foreign nationals who will likely need public assistance from gaining a green card.
Ironically, while allowing migrants south of our border virtually unrestricted access to our country, the Miami Herald has reported that the Biden administration is considering imposing domestic travel restrictions on Americans in the name of preventing the spread of Covid. The state of Florida looks to be in their crosshairs.
Both Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis believe that the Biden administration is motivated by political animus. According to Rubio during a recent appearance on Fox News’ Sean Hannity show: “F’orida’s embarrassed New York and California. The predictions about Florida haven’t come true. They’re trying to punish Florida.” Unlike California and New York, Florida’s children are all back in the classroom, and its economy has been one of the most open in the country. Yet, Florida has a lower infection rate, lower per capita death and hospitalization rate, and a lower unemployment rate than the blue states.
Biden’s changes to our immigration laws will have many profound effects on our country. As a result of our porous borders, our nation will be less secure. Business for drug traffickers, human traffickers, and Mexican cartels will be significantly easier. Further, a flood of uneducated and impoverished migrants streaming over the border will strain our country’s already stretched safety net programs.
But this is of no concern to the Democratic party or the empty suit who occupies the White House. Today’s Democrats are not only determined to increase their power and grow the government, but to change the: character, foundation, norms, traditions, and demographics of the U.S.
Joe Biden and his party have made it clear that they hold disdain for many of the values which have brought our country to greatness. They believe our founding fathers designed our nation on a framework of patriarchy and racism. And our capitalistic economic system is unjust and immoral.
A massive nonstop influx of uneducated, impoverished migrants means less assimilation leading to a transformation of American culture and values; Not to mention more Democrat voters and more dependent on the government. A win for the Democrat party, a loss for America.
