BIDEN, THE SENATE, AND THE BORDER FIASCO. Joe Biden is supposed to know something about legislating. After all, he spent 36 years in the U.S. Senate. He must have learned something in those decades. And yet Biden is the driving force behind one of the biggest Capitol Hill fiascos in years: the rapidly imploding “deal” on the U.S.-Mexico border, plus aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. It was Biden who insisted that those disparate subjects be linked — he threatened to veto any part that was passed alone — which turned out to be a fatal mistake given the impossibility of a majority in Congress agreeing on any immigration-related topic. Failing to agree on immigration guaranteed failure on the other policies.
So the deal’s demise does not mean that Biden and Congress have failed only on the border. It means they have failed on the border, on Israel, on Ukraine, and on Taiwan. It’s a quadruple fiasco.
Of course, most of the attention has focused on the border. That’s because Biden’s policy of essentially opening the border, allowing somewhere between 6 million and 8 million illegal crossers to enter the United States, has finally spread disruption not just to the border states but to big blue cities including New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. With an election approaching, some leaders of Biden’s own party are nervous about the damage he has done. They believe passing a “border bill” would be a way for them to say to voters: Look, we tried to do something about it.
The problem is, the Democratic impulse on the border problem has always been to search for ways, and money, to facilitate, speed, accommodate, and regularize the crossing of millions of inadmissible migrants into the U.S. They do not look at chaos on the border and say, Stop the flow! They look at it and say, We need more beds and social workers and asylum officials to process these migrants more efficiently into the country.
The bill, produced during months of secret negotiations among three senators, Democrat Chris Murphy, independent Kyrsten Sinema, and Republican James Lankford, reflected that difference. The three lawmakers produced, essentially, a bill to regularize the flow of migrants into the country in the guise of a bill to control the flow.
Biden & the Senate Corrupt / Compromised & need to be Cleaned Up !!!!!!
First thought,the border is going exactly as they want it to. The millions of invaders over the years are the reason that nothing pays well anymore. It takes three jobs to support 2 people. It used to take one job to support 3 or 4 people. Second thought about borrowing money to send away for other borders, it’s. Like donations to a foreign charity on your own credit cards with massive interest.
