Senator Schumer and his Democrat cohorts in Congress continue to whine about Donald Trump’s rhetoric on border decisions, placing blame on President Trump for Biden's border crisis.
Even current problems, those that were not issues when Trump was President, are nevertheless being blamed on the former President, such as the White House ignoring the confession of a killer in Georgia in order to try to connect Donald Trump to the massage parlor massacre.
Does the Biden Administration think “we the people” are unable to investigate facts and statements to decide for ourselves what should and should not be blamed on present and former officials?
Politicians often view as self-serving excuses to dismiss their own negatives. Denying known facts only causes citizens to wonder how many other problems exist that politicians will incorrectly blame on others.
Democrats hammered President Trump on incompetence when he was President -- a clever tactic used to avoid being blamed for their own problems -- which, in turn, led citizens to view Trump negatively.
Biden’s rhetoric
Candidate Trump campaigned for the Presidency in 2016 on a promise to stop the constant flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico into the USA. Facts show that Trump’s zero-tolerance policy for illegal immigrants was successful.
Biden’s rhetoric encouraged the recent massive numbers that have swarmed our Southern border when promising "a pathway to citizenship" for anyone crossing our borders. In so doing, Biden exacerbated human trafficking, child abuse, desperate refugees, Covid 19 disease being spread into our country, countless rapes, terrorists, brutality and death from encouraging mass migration out of Central America and Mexico.
On Tuesday, March 23, 2020, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador blamed the crisis on the other side of his country's border with the U.S. on the Biden administration's messaging on immigration, which he said created "expectations" among would-be migrants.
In February 2020, the U.S. Border Patrol calculated 9,000 people crossed America's southern border under the Trump administration, illegally. In February 2021, the USBP calculated 104,000 people crossed illegally. All of them echoed Joe Biden's welcoming speech of amnesty and open borders.
When questioned upon arriving at the border, the immigrants were quoted saying, “New president, Biden, he gonna help all of us,” and/or “New, President Biden, he’s given us 100 days to get to the U.S., so we can get legal papers, live in the USA, and we have a better life for our kids and our families.”
Words do have consequences, and words uttered by our nation’s leaders are taken seriously and acted upon.
Currently, under the Biden/Harris administration, the number of illegal border crossings has risen to six times what the Obama administration considered a crisis.
Criminals are also hidden among the many thousands who reach the border. Others may soon become criminals as they have no skills, no income, and nobody to help provide them food and lodging. House GOP Leader says border agents told him Iran, Yemen and Sri Lanka citizens have been caught at the southern border.
Plight of children
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) slammed the Biden administration over its handling of the massive surge, calling it an “abject failure.” Abbott revealed that one migrant facility for minors had unsafe drinking water and another one had a COVID-19 outbreak.
Biden’s DHS secretary said if “loving parents” send their children to the U.S. border, “We will not expel” them, “we will care for them.”
The current border crisis has overwhelmed migrant facilities — some up to 729% capacity. There are reports of children in facilities “akin to jails,” forced to take turns sleeping on floors, and only allowed one shower per week.
According to Project Veritas, an undercover journalism nonprofit that released the images on March 22, images show hundreds of children huddled under emergency blankets in the jam-packed “cells,” divided by transparent plastic curtains hanging from metal frames. Eight such “cells” form a “pod.” The facility, composed of several interconnected massive tents, contains eight “pods” that hold an average of 3,000 people at any given time, that adds up to 47 people per cell on average.
Hotel facilities for illegal immigrants
By the end of the year, border officials expect more than 117,000 undocumented children to have arrived in the U.S. That would be the highest number of undocumented children the U.S. has ever recorded.
With detention centers overflowing and excess already being housed at a Dallas convention center, Biden needs more beds for heads for all his illegal immigrant buddies that are coming into the country.
Since there is no more space and tent cities are going over like a led balloon, Biden has a new answer… give them a hotel room.
For the next six months, according to the report, rooms will be put on the taxpayer tab to house migrants in both Texas and Arizona.
