The disasters of Joe Biden’s open border policy are coming home to roost. The Molotov cocktail attack bya Hamas-loving Egyptian illegal migrant on a group of American Jews in Boulder, Colo., is just one deadly consequence.
The national police blotter is bulging with rapes, murders, robberies, assaults, antisemitic attacks and all manner of crimes that never would have been committed if not for Biden’s insane decision to disband the suite of border protection policies President Donald Trump had implemented in his first term.
Just in the last month, Larisha Thompson, a 40-year-old mother of two, was murdered in her car during a random robbery attempt by six illegal migrants from Honduras, ages 13 to 21, in South Carolina, and 18-year-old Air Force cadet Ava Moore was killed in a hit-and-run on her jet ski in Texas by two illegal migrants. Their names can be added to the growing tally of victims like Laken Riley, Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray, whose blood is on Biden’s hands.
It was a point of pride for Biden to stop building Trump’s border wall, abandon Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy and institute catch-and-release so that 15 million to 20 million illegal migrants crossed the border during his presidency and melted into the heartland.
He did it all with a flurry of executive orders on Day One, and a malign leftist as Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas.
‘Mass entry’ mobile app
Together, as the national media turned a blind eye, they set about systematically undermining border security and making illegal migration more efficient, creating the CBP One mobile app to allow mass entry without vetting, providing work permits without immigration hearings and flying illegal migrants at taxpayer expense in the dead of night into cities and towns across America. They tied the hands of Border Patrol agents and even falsely accused some on horseback of racism for simply doing their jobs.
Despite Biden’s lie that he was powerless to close the border and needed Congress to pass new laws, Trump in his first 100 days managed to virtually stop all illegal migration with executive orders and a strong border czar, Tom Homan, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
DHS announced in April that migrant crossings were down by 99.99%. Only five illegal aliens had been “temporarily” allowed into the US, most for health reasons, such as suffering a heart attack as they crossed the border. That is a staggering drop from the roughly 68,000 illegals released by the Biden administration during the same month last year. In addition, fentanyl overdoses reportedly have declined.
Promises to keep
But as spectacularly successful as the Trump administration has been, getting the border under control is the easy part. Now the president has to fulfil his Inauguration Day promise to deport “millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came,” in the face of extraordinary pushback from a handful of Trump-deranged activist district judges.
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller has ordered ICE to double its quota to 3,000 illegals arrested per day at a “minimum,” he told Fox News, with the goal of 1 million deportations a year. But even if the administration achieves that goal, despite the lawfare being waged against it, that’s one-quarter or less of the people Biden let in.
Biden and Mayorkas’ deliberate rush to bring in as many illegal migrants as quickly as possible meant that vetting fell by the wayside.
