Biden’s Border Disaster

Axios has a lengthy report describing the “warring ideologies” and turmoil that have erupted inside the Biden White House over immigration and border security. One former senior Biden official said that “Border Czar” Kamala Harris was “ineffective at best” and only “sporadically engaged” on the issue.

Susan Rice, Biden’s former domestic policy advisor, blasted Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra as an “idiot” and worse (words I can’t quote in this report) for failing to act more quickly to deal with unaccompanied minors. Sadly, we know that the Biden administration lost 85,000 migrant children.

Meanwhile, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who generally supports legal immigration, explained one reason why the Lankford/Schumer bill was such a disaster.

Some defended the legislation as “the best we can get” on border security. It’s not even close. The four Republican senators who voted for it have some explaining to do.

In an interview with CNN, Rubio showed in great detail that the Lankford/Schumer bill was, at its core, a progressive voter registration scheme.

Rubio noted that the bill called for hiring a small army of asylum officers who would have the power to grant asylum at the border and issue immediate work permits.

Rubio added, “When you have asylum, you are on a path to citizenship. When you get asylum, you are a year away from a green card and four years away from citizenship.”

So, this legislation was really just another quasi-amnesty bill that would have put millions of illegal aliens on a fast track to citizenship – and voting for leftists.
