While the Democrats continue to do very little of actual importance with regard to the border, and with the Biden administration still acting as though it's not a problem, it's often hard for people to understand not just the flood on the border but just how broken the entire system is from start to finish.
Case in point, Fox News' Bill Melugin is reporting that a Columbian woman who crossed into El Paso, Texas, illegally was told by authorities to check in with ICE sometime around the beginning of the next decade.
She was caught crossing illegally into Texas, released, and told to report to ICE in New York in eight years.
I am trying to behave and not swear so much, after all it is the Christmas season. But still, this kind of information is the reason the "F-word" exists. Because there are no other words that can so effectively express the emotions you feel when reading that kind of information. "Fiddlesticks" doesn't work. "What in tarnation?" just doesn't have the same punch.
But shouting out the four-letter word that rhymes with "truck" somehow just expresses the outrage with the right amount of passion.
Anyway, this is clearly a Biden administration problem. Our good friend Congressman Ted Lieu would like you to believe otherwise, that this is somehow something Republicans refused to deal with, but the numbers don't add up - as my colleague Nick Arama explained.
Illegal entry is at record heights, and it's all because of Biden, unlike Trump. Trump didn't make the border worse, as Biden did. Biden undid everything that Trump did to fix the problem, starting day one after he came in. So that's why it's on Biden. Not that Lieu would deal with that reality.
But 300,000 is a disaster that has to be dealt with or it's going to crush us. There's no way the CBP can deal with that.
Yeah, the math ain't mathing.
We really, really need adults in the White House. It's run by a bunch of far-left progressives who think that border policy is racism. I am starting to suspect, given everything we've seen, that the adults are not, in fact, back in charge.
The border is a major national security risk. Guns, drugs, and foreign nationals are all crossing into the U.S., leaving us at risk of so many major problems down the road that I am not sure the U.S. could ever fully recover. The fentanyl crisis alone, which is a direct impact of decades of bad border policy, should be enough for us to want to fix it immediately.
But we don't - and won't, it seems.
The world is on fire and the Biden administration is more focused on green energy and telling Israel how to conduct its war than it is focused on keeping Americans safe. This is unsustainable.
