The agents Biden defamed and the migrants he cruelly sent back to Haiti are all just collateral damage in Biden’s larger southern border strategy. It is not that Biden wants to facilitate a full-scale invasion of the southern border. It is that the radical leftists who staff his administration honestly believe that anyone in the world who wants to come to America should have the right to do so.

But Biden can’t admit openly that this is his policy. Instead, he sends out Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to say brash things such as, “If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned. Your journey will not succeed.” That’s what Mayorkas reiterated on Monday, even as CBP agents under his control were processing Haitians who had crossed illegally into the U.S. as quickly as possible.

The obvious contradiction between the Biden administration’s rhetoric and its policies will only lead to more incidents such as the one at the Del Rio bridge. The only question is, how many lives will Biden ruin in the process?
