Tell Me the Border Crisis Is a Problem for Biden's Re-Election Without Telling Me the Border Crisis Is a Problem

Have you noticed lately that there are stories published that report on the work of ICE and deportations of illegal aliens? If you haven’t, you will soon. Things are not going well for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign and the Biden border crisis is a big part of that trouble.

It is important for Team Biden to acknowledge that the border crisis is being addressed. Immigration and securing the southern border is the top issue for voters, along with the economy, in the 2024 presidential election. Unfortunately for Biden, he has severely botched both. He is only now pretending to care about the chaos because even Democrats are applying pressure to the administration to close the southern border. Democrats in Trump districts are sounding a lot like Republicans these days.

A new NBC poll was released Sunday. It is dismal for Biden. He is underwater to Trump all over the place, especially on the major issues.

And then we come to the most devastating numbers for Hunter’s Dad… The question of who will do a better job of handling the issues voters most care about. “[P]lease tell me whether you think that Donald Trump or Joe Biden would be better” is the question. Here are the answers…

Border

Trump: 57 percent (+35)
Biden: 22 percent

Think about that for a minute. During the Trump years, there was so much angst in the media and among Democrats that Trump was taking all kinds of nefarious actions against poor brown people when they illegally crossed the southern border. There were groups of progressives that went to the border and cried for the cameras outside of detention centers, gripping the chain link fence. That mean Trump got the job done, though, and he even used ‘cages’ built by the Obama/Biden administration to address the detention of illegal aliens. That part about the cages was an inconvenient truth that progressives had to live with. I guess they forgot that during his administration, Obama was called the deporter-in-chief by the open borders crowd.

When Biden came into office he decided to undo everything he could that had been put in place by the Trump administration. He was determined to be seen as the unTrump president. On his first day in office he filed numerous executive orders that dealt with border security. As promised during his campaign, he froze deportations of illegal aliens. What could possibly go wrong? We soon found out. Knowing there would not be deportations, illegal aliens were emboldened, including criminal illegal aliens. Who knows how many criminals and terrorists have crossed the southern border?

Now that the pressure is on, DHS has loosened up its dangerous grip on ICE. Apprehensions are happening and deportations are being carried out. Take, for example, a known Al Shabaab terrorist from Somalia roamed freely in the United States for a year after being released by Border Patrol.

ICE’s top official throws ICE agents under the bus, though they were just carrying out orders. It wasn’t ICE’s fault that a terrorist roamed freely among Americans, it was Joe Biden’s policy.

What a mess. It’s scary to think about how many more terrorists have been welcomed into the United States by Joe Biden. Recently ICE in Seattle arrested 6 child sex predators who are illegal aliens. There is a national operation going on, according to ICE’s statement.

“Noncitizens who commit repugnant acts at the expense of children will not be allowed to claim our great nation as their home,” said ERO Seattle Field Office Director Drew Bostock. “The arrests ERO Seattle made during this national operation are an example of the constant contributions we make locally to keep the U.S. safe from child predators.”
All arrests took place in the assigned ERO Seattle states of Alaska, Washington and Oregon, with criminal convictions made by courts in Washington and Oregon.

Those arrested include:

A 53-year-old citizen of El Salvador in Tacoma who was convicted of felony child molestation in the first degree, child molestation in the second degree, and rape of a child in the third degree.
A 42-year-old citizen of Mexico in Moses Lake who was convicted of dealing in depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
A 39-year-old citizen of Mexico in Federal Way who was convicted of communication with a minor for immoral purposes.
A 69-year-old citizen of Mexico in Yakima who was convicted of dealing in depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
A 58-year-old citizen of Mexico in Yakima who was convicted of child molestation in the first degree, child molestation in the second degree, and rape of a child in the third degree.
A 43-year-old citizen of Mexico in Woodburn, Oregon, who was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse of a minor.

More than 80,000 unaccompanied minors are unaccounted for in Biden’s America. A report was released dated February 1, 2024 that shows the current number of unaccompanied minors in the Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program. It is managed by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). That is an operational division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Layers of bureaucracy have lost track of tens of thousands of minors.

As of February 1, 2024, there are 8,153 unaccompanied children in HHS’ care and the average length of time an unaccompanied child remained in ORR’s care was 33 days. ORR is working to further reduce length of care in ways that do not jeopardize the safety or welfare of the children.

That is horrifying. Nothing good can come from that kind of government incompetence. On a purely political level, how do you think suburban women will react to truth bombs like this? Biden has to win their votes to be re-elected. On a humanitarian level, it is too alarming to wrap my head around. Human trafficking is rampant as a result of the Biden border crisis. It will not be a good ending for those children sold into slavery or the sex trade.

These stories made public now are just a drop in the bucket. The media is a willing partner in Biden’s re-election campaign. Democrats know how bad this is for Biden and are trying to flip the script to blame Republicans for the open border. You can’t make this stuff up.

Kristen Welker’s family donate to Democrats and Joe Biden. Why isn’t she concerned that Biden and Democrats are not willing to make compromises on sticking points between the two parties? By the way, Speaker Johnson did well in his push back against her biased questioning.

As I said, more of these stories will randomly surface this year, after three years of absence in news cycles. The Big Guy has to look like he’s doing something about the southern border. He isn’t but he thinks voters are stupid.
