It appears that the Biden administration is preparing to finish off what’s left of the U.S. border with Mexico.
The Associated Press has reported that Biden will stop using Title 42, the immigration law that permits the government to deport illegals for health reasons. Since President Trump implemented the law in 2020 to keep out China Virus carriers, it has served as something of a seawall against the “migrants,” who have splashing against the border with the force of waves whipped up by a Category 6 hurricane.
“Invasion” is not an overstatement. Early this week, administration officials said they expected border agents to be confronted with 18,000 illegals every day. That’s more than double the number they handle now.
Americans had better brace themselves. A crime wave is ahead, along with the financial burden of feeding, housing, and educating them.
May 23, the Invasion Begins
Leftists and top Democrats have been pushing Biden to lift the Title 42 deportation policy for some time, and for an obvious reason: Lifting the order that triggered the law means importing millions of new Democrat voters.
And it appears those open-borders subversives have succeeded.
“The decision, not yet final, would halt use of public health powers to absolve the United States of obligations under American law and international treaty to provide haven to people fleeing persecution, and would apply to all asylum-seekers,” AP reported:
Ending the limitations in May would allow for time to prepare at the border, the people said. But the delay runs against the wishes of top Democrats and others who say COVID-19 has long been used as an excuse for the U.S. to get out of asylum obligations.
It also raises the possibility that more asylum-seeking migrants will come to the border at a time when flows are already high. The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that about 7,100 migrants were coming daily, compared with an average of about 5,900 a day in February and on pace to match or exceed highs from last year, 2019 and other peak periods.
And as if that news isn’t bad enough, officials predict utter disaster when Biden does the unthinkable: literally opens the border to the Third World.
During a phone call with reporters this week, administration officials predicted an influx of 18,000 illegals a day.
Or at least that’s what they’re preparing for.
That puts the U.S. on pace to record more than 200,000 arrests for March, the highest monthly total in at least 22 years, and more than a million for the first six months of the government’s fiscal year, Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said at a conference in San Antonio on Tuesday.
The administration, through a task force it set up last year called the Southwest Border Coordination Center, is planning for several scenarios in which daily border crossings climb even higher, to as many as 18,000 per day, officials told reporters on a Tuesday call.
They are preemptively strengthening government contracts for transportation and medical care, the officials said, and adding more staff to handle increased arrivals. Gen. Glen VanHerck, the head of U.S. Northern Command, said at a Senate hearing last week the administration was weighing sending additional troops to the border.
“Strengthening government contracts,” of course, means U.S. taxpayers will pay the bill. And once they are in the country, Biden and immigration subalterns start shipping the illiterates into a town near you.
It’s Not Incompetence
As The New American has repeatedly observed, the disaster at the border — from Biden’s refusal to enforce the law, to busing and flying illegals into unsuspecting towns, to permitting 12,000 Haitians to wander into the country — is no accident. It is not the result of “incompetence.” It is not a “failure.”
As the latest on Title 42 shows, Biden is purposely flooding the nation with illegals, knowing they will become citizens and vote the right way.
And Biden has freed more than 300,000 illegals caught at the border or internally to roam the country, about 40 percent of the illegals border agents have apprehended.
If that rate of release continues after he rescinds the application of Title 42 and agents apprehend 18,000 per day, Biden will free 7,200 per day to colonize the country.
