Independent voters may have believed President Biden when he said he wasn't in favor of "open borders," but it looks like the thousands of migrants coming up from Latin America didn't.
The migrants were right.
The Washington Times reported Tuesday that the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Timothy Perry, wrote agency leadership that "we need to prepare for border surges now." Since January, according to the Washington Post, "the number of [illegal immigrant] minors in federal custody has more than tripled to 7,000" and that Health and Human Services has instructed ICE to "purchase airplane tickets and cover other transportation costs for minors whose relatives are already living in the United States."
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is "getting ICE to help transport migrants northward so they can be processed and released."
You read that correctly. The Biden administration is literally flying illegal immigrants to be with their families in the U.S.
This is how the refugee and "asylum" scam works. Adult migrants throw themselves across the border with their children into U.S. custody and claim asylum, immediately securing themselves legal protection to be here. Their case eventually goes before a judge to determine their eligibility to remain in the U.S. indefinitely, but those cases are backlogged by years.
Of the 1 million illegal immigrants who arrived in family groups in the last six years, only 6% have actually been deported, according to the Washington Post report. With tens of thousands more arriving each week, that percentage will only decrease.
Everyone south of the border knew what a Biden presidency would mean. They heard the message loud and clear. When it was clear that Biden had won the 2020 election, the Washington Post said his victory "drew cheers from migrants stranded in squalid, freezing refugee camps in Mexico, and some rushed across a bridge in the border city of El Paso while chanting his name."
There really is a crisis at the border. Biden is making it so much worse.
