It’s Not Border Security

One of the biggest problems with this bill -- and there are many -- is the supposed “emergency authority” that permits federal officials to “shut down the border.”

As we noted yesterday, this “emergency authority” actually legitimizes extreme levels of illegal immigration. It doesn’t kick in until we have an average of 5,000 illegal border crossings a day for seven days. But there are many exceptions as to who gets counted to reach the threshold. Those exceptions are listed on page 206 of the bill.

The first two exceptions include American citizens and aliens with permanent residency. I’m not sure why it was necessary to stipulate that citizens and legal residents are not to be counted as illegal aliens.

The next exception, however, is “an unaccompanied alien child.” That’s a huge loophole that will trigger a massive wave of human trafficking by the drug cartels and others who want to bring our country to its knees. 

They will simply walk children up the border, pushing the little kids out front. Thus, when their first footstep hits U.S. soil, they are an “unaccompanied alien child.” We’ve seen this happen before.

Moreover, the Biden administration often turns these children over to total strangers. They gutted the vetting of the child sponsors and literally lost 85,000 alien children. 

Many are exploited and forced to work in dangerous jobs or, even worse, they end up in sex trafficking -- enabled by Biden’s open border policies. That’s left-wing “compassion” for you!

Every “unaccompanied child” that crosses the border will become part of the left’s future voting bloc. The left encourages the exploitation of children and then insists that it’s not the fault of the children who were brought across the border. And the children will grow to become a favored left-wing special interest group, like the so-called “Dreamers.”

Elon Musk has posted several critical comments about illegal immigration and this terrible bill. When he pointed out that much of the left’s open borders agenda is about power and enabling illegal voters, Senator James Lankford (R-OK), who helped write the bill, blew a gasket. 

Well, senator, I know you don’t not want illegal aliens to vote, but your anger at Elon Musk is misdirected. 

Do you really believe that in every major city inundated with hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, where ID isn’t required to vote and everyone is registered to vote when they get a driver’s license, no illegal aliens are voting? Really?

Open voting rights for “noncitizens” is already a major part of the left’s agenda. They’re very open about it. Wake up, senator!

By the way, let’s stop calling this a “bipartisan border security bill.” It does not have bipartisan support outside of Washington, D.C. The overwhelming majority of the Republican Party is against it.

Some Swamp Republicans may support it, but what they have signed onto is really the “GOP suicide bill.” If this terrible deal passes with significant Republican support, the Republican Party will have committed political suicide.
