Let’s get one thing straight, politicians lie. No matter what their political leanings, they lie, believing that many, if not most, voters will never discover the truth.
There is one lie that President Joe Biden and his administration have pushed since he took office almost two years ago. It is the “big lie” that there is no immigration crisis at our southern border.
This may be one of the most repeated lies in history.
In August, responding to a question from Fox News’s Peter Doocy, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that “it’s not like somebody walks over” the border. That’s exactly what happens. There is video proving this happens every day.
Last month, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas maintained in a congressional hearing that the border is secure. At the same hearing, FBI Director Christopher Wray contradicted Mayorkas when he said the FBI sees “significant criminal threats coming from south of the border — whether it’s guns, drugs, money, violence.”
Democrat pundits on TV perpetuate the lie. Even after Customs and Border Protection reported a record of over 230,000 border encounters in October, two MSNBC analysts in November, Maria Hinijosa and Fernand Amandi, both agreed there is no “crisis” at the border.
A country is defined as a nation with its own government that occupies a particular territory. Without a secure border, you don’t have a country.
Democrats, as a political party, have never cared about securing our border from illegal immigrants. President Biden’s actions are proof. According to a report on Fox News.com in October, “The Biden administration and Congress did nothing to boost funding for two key border security agencies in the last fiscal year, leaving them each at the same level as last year even as they coped with a record surge in illegal immigrants.”
Yet the omnibus spending bill, put forth by Democrats and passed last week, requires $410 million for “enhanced border security” for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Oman.
Democrats continually get in the way of a secure U.S. border. The Biden Administration not only stopped the construction of President Trump’s wall on the border, they recently sued Arizona to stop its construction of a border wall using shipping containers and razor wire.
And, of course, since Biden sees no problem at the border, there is no reason for him to visit it. Earlier this month, he skipped a chance to visit the border in Arizona, saying, “there are more important things.”
I could argue against that line of reasoning.
It’s easy to overlook this in Missouri. We are not a border state. That is why Florida and Texas transport migrants to Democrat cities and states like Chicago, New York, Washington D.C. and Martha’s Vineyard. These transports can’t compare with the 2,400 arrivals seen daily in El Paso, Texas.
For these deeds, Democrats have called for Texas Gov. Greg Abbot and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to be prosecuted for “human trafficking.”
But, of course, this is what the Federal Government has been doing since Biden took office. The Biden Administration uses non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to resettle illegal immigrants. The Heritage Foundation found that NGOs helped transport immigrants to all 50 states and 431 of the 435 U.S. congressional districts, proving that Biden and his administration are aware of this crisis. They continue to lie when confronted with the facts.
Biden’s open-door policy is letting in more than illegal immigrants. It lets in drugs, specifically fentanyl. Starting in 2021, fentanyl overdoses became the No. 1 cause of death among U.S. adults ages 18-45.
Between 2020 and 2021, nearly 79,000 people between 18 and 45 years old — 37,208 in 2020 and 41,587 in 2021 — died of fentanyl overdoses, the data analysis from opioid awareness organization Families Against Fentanyl shows. More adults between 18 and 45 died of fentanyl overdoses in 2020 than any other leading cause of death, including COVID-19, motor vehicle accidents, cancer and suicide.
Last week border officers confiscated over 896,000 fentanyl pills coming from Mexico in Arizona.
How many migrants do you think cross our border illegally each year: a) 250,000 to 500,000; b) 500,000 to 1,000,000; c) 1 to 2 million; d) 2 to 3 million. In a recent Harvard Caps / Harris poll, 18 percent picked a, 20 percent b and 12 percent c. Only 6 percent chose the correct answer of, 2 to 3 million.
Do local supporters of Biden believe the lie, ignore it, or are they just ignorant like those who were part of the above poll?
