A crisis is a terrible thing to create.
This, Nonetheless, is what President Biden has done at the southern border.
Following President Biden's Cabinet Appointments, and the signing of unnecessary Executive Orders. Such Executive Orders that revoked our previous President's Orders and policies, that had finally brought order and control to our nation's borders. It had become apparent that the Obama Administration has in some way been resurrected. The harsh reality that is facing our country today, is that now President Biden has created a crisis that is six times what the Obama Administration had created.
Biden's rhetoric during and after his campaign. Promising immigration reform and his open-handed approach to migrants coming to the United States. Biden's cavalier actions in the revocation of Donald Trump's immigration policies. Has now created a surge of migrants entering the U.S. will continue to create a crisis of catastrophic proportions. A crisis that will harm our nation's way of life.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated at the end of February. The situation is not a crisis, but a " challenge ", an " acute ", and " stressful", challenge with some urgency, but merely a challenge all the same.
Secretary Mayorkas claims that the situation is a challenge and not a crisis, a claim that falls far beyond the realms of reality. In 2014, then Vice President Biden had stated that 64,340 migrants illegally entering the United States is truly a crisis. Now that 80,000 migrants entering in January 2021, twice the number that had entered into the U.S. in January 2020, and with another 100,000 that have entered in February 2021. Biden now states this is not a crisis.
In our nation, where over 527,000 individuals have succumbed to the Covid-19 pandemic to date. President Biden's warnings during his campaign and after the election. That if we do not follow guidelines, we could lose as many as 650,000 people to the Covid-19 virus by mid-April. As of January 25, 1553 migrants entering the U.S. have tested positive for Covid-19. President Biden now is not heeding to his own warnings. The continuing surge will inevitably lead to another spike in Covid-19 outbreaks throughout the country, which could lead to over 650,000 deaths by mid-April.
President Biden and his administrations sharp criticism of Donald Trump's immigration policies, and the way unaccompanied children were being treated at our border facilities. Criticism that has no basis whatsoever. Today there are 3,250 unaccompanied children, a number that has tripled in two weeks being held in detention facilities. A number that is five and a half times the 583 children being held at the end of the Trump Administration. Every day the number of unaccompanied children arriving at our southern border continues to climb. It has become apparent that the Biden Administration has no clear plan or solution in combating this crisis. Today, when our children have not been able to attend school, due to the Covid-19 crisis. The Biden Administration is now providing educational services to the unaccompanied children that to continue to cross our southern border each day.
Instead of acknowledging that the Trump Administration had some sensible policies. President Biden and his administration has rejected and revoked all of the policies, put in place by the prior administration.
Secretary Mayorkas blames Trump for having dismantled or Nation's immigration system in it's entirety. A claim as absurd as the notion that the Biden Administration from scratch on vaccinations.
Biden refuses to acknowledge that Trump had actually gotten a handle on the border, which had spun out control in 2014 and again 2019. Creating a huge humanitarian debacle.
Call it what you will, a crisis, or a challenge, or something else, it's apparent that Biden is on the path to heedlessly repeat this experience.
